Notes

The agenda comes from issues labelled with tsc-agenda across all of the repositories in the nodejs org. Please label any additional issues that should be on the agenda before the meeting starts.

Public participation

We stream our conference call straight to YouTube so anyone can listen to it live, it should start playing at https://www.youtube.com/c/nodejs+foundation/live when we turn it on. There's usually a short cat-herding time at the start of the meeting and then occasionally we have some quick private business to attend to before we can start recording & streaming. So be patient and it should show up.

Many of us will be on IRC in #node-dev on Freenode if you'd like to interact, we have a Q/A session scheduled at the end of the meeting if you'd like us to discuss anything in particular. @nodejs/collaborators in particular if there's anything you need from the TSC that's not worth putting on as a separate agenda item, this is a good place for that.

Too late for me

Moderation Team report:

• Blocked a user for spam. https://github.com/nodejs/moderation/issues/343
• Banned a user on Gitter for offensive off-topic chat. https://github.com/nodejs/moderation/issues/344

I should note that I don't think the Gitter is official and is not actually bound by our CoC, but since it was reported by and handled by a Moderation team member, I'm reporting it here anyway.

Startup Performance:

• Relanded the blocking v8 patch and backported it deps: backport v8 commits useful for snapshot integration node#33300
• Rebased bootstrap: include bootstrapped Environment in builtin snapshot  node#32984 on top of that

[sam-github]

Just as a heads up, I'll be on vacation for the next 2 weeks, with limited time for reviewing gh notifications.

[joyeecheung]

@jasnell About the agenda item, since we keep missing each other in the meetings, maybe it would be better if we just open an issue in the TSC repo to discuss the process change asynchronously? Since you mentioned that you are interested in championing the process discussion, do you want to open an issue and elaborate on that? Or I can do it if you'd like.

[Trott]

Did the meeting happen and ended already? Or did it get canceled? I tried to join and it said it hadn't started yet, which makes me suspect it actually already ended?

[jasnell]

Yeah, that works. I'm fairly tied up right now which is why I couldn't make the call today. If you could open the issue to kick it off that would be very helpful and I will jump in. realistically though it likely won't be until next week at the earliest.

[tniessen]

@Trott It ended :)
