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.

Before this gets lost in the comment history of nodejs/node#35014, I’d like to get nodejs/node#34055 and nodejs/node#34962 into v15.0.0.

---

I hope we can still get nodejs/node#34055 and nodejs/node#34962 into v15.0.0, which add alias modules for util.types, path.posix and path.win32 as util/types, path/posix and path/win32 respectively.

I'd also like to get nodejs/node#34895 into v15, if possible.

PR for minutes: #937.

@ExE-Boss some discussion on your comment. They will need to land and then the Release WG agree they can go in. I think the right place to continue the discussion is in nodejs/node#35014.
