+## Minutes
+
+### Option to run V8 test suite [#199]
+
+Running tests should be fairly easy, hardest part is to figure out how to
+configure all the prerequisites. Michael to follow up and report on progress.
+First deliverable: a quick and dirty job in Jenkins to run this daily. We can
+improve the process as we go.
+
+### PPC platforms as part of standard release [#205]
+
+
+### Add FIPS mode build to CI [#264]
+
+
+## Previous meeting review
+
+Skipped
+
+
+## Follow-ups
+
+Take a look at open PRs in the build repo. Lots of stale stuff.
+
+These issues were not fully discussed. Keep on the agenda for next meeting:
+
+* [ ] Probably should discuss how to include node-gyp and NAN in Jenkins, we've had
+  requests for both projects and it makes sense, particularly for NAN which has
+  a big test suite (node-gyp has a ... smaller test suite).
+* [ ] I've been pondering our ARM hardware and would like to discuss how we might go
+  about ensuring that we have hardware test coverage that is as close as
+  possible to what is being used in the wild for Node—for IoT, hobbyist, etc.
+  users. Consider how newer platforms like Pi Zero have the potential to change
+  the landscape. Also think of MIPS and how we have zero coverage there. It
+  might be something we can defer to the Hardware WG, maybe they can do some
+  surveys or perhaps they have existing data.

+
+## Minutes
+
+### Option to run V8 test suite [#199]
+
+No updates.
+
+### PPC platforms as part of standard release [#205]
+
+Machines not available. Adding machines to release job.
+
+### How to add node-gyp and nan in Jenkins
+
+Alexis: Nan runs with appveyor and travis [#206], will follow the pattern of
+[serialport-test-commit-windows](https://ci.nodejs.org/job/serialport-test-commit-windows/build)
+
+Rod: best to run a variety of versions of node. Same deal for node-gyp and nan.
+Also add node-gyp and nan to node tests.
+
+### Test coverage on ARM hardware
+
+Rod: I've been pondering our ARM hardware and would like to discuss how we might
+go about ensuring that we have hardware test coverage that is as close as
+possible to what is being used in the wild for Node—for IoT, hobbyist, etc.
+users. Consider how newer platforms like Pi Zero have the potential to change
+the landscape. Also think of MIPS and how we have zero coverage there. It might
+be something we can defer to the Hardware WG, maybe they can do some surveys or
+perhaps they have existing data.
+
+Rod: We have no data on which platforms are popular. Ask for help from the
+hardware WG to provide us with data.
+
+Alexis: add telemetry to Node?
+
+Rod: might not go down well
+
+## Getting resources OSX
+
+Rod: hosting is the biggest problem. We need donations or buy OSX infrastructure
+service
+
+Alexis: ask for donations and if target not reached, ask for foundation budget?
+
+Rod: what would make a good hosting setup? A big company?
+
+Alexis: are there any virtualization providers? We need to do some research.
+
+Rod: MacMiniColo.net or MacStadium. We need to extend the versions we test on.
+Might need board meeting approval.
+
+## Cutting our own builds of Jenkins
+
+Alexis: to fix low hanging fruit, improve our CI system. Instead of starting
+from scratch with CI, try to start with what we have and fix what’s wrong.
+
+Johan: suitable for CI WG. Hoping for upstream to get more responsive.  Might be
+preferable to avoid the burden of maintaining. Let’s start by getting our feet wet.
+
+Johan: some issues might be inherent to the platform (Java)
+
+Alexis: let’s get our feet wet: build, install, fix a bug
+
+## Setting up Jenkins secondary masters
+
+Alexis: would be useful for testing updates to jenkins itself and plugins, and
+for redundancy.  What is the blocker?
+
+Rod: switching connection to use SSH is the blocker. Might be better for other
+reasons anyway.
+
+Alexis: On Windows it was not trivial.
+
+Rod: we could run multiple slaves.jar on Windows
+
+Multiple slaves.jar would complicate management, so we would want to do it only
+the platforms where we cannot use SSH
+
+Joahn: any prior best practices for master replication? Let’s do quick research
+
+## Previous meeting review
+
+Skipped
+
+## Follow-ups
+
+* [ ] ARM hardware test coverage: open an issue on the hardware WG repo and see
+  if they can help
+* [ ] Mac OS X resources: open an issue, listing platform needs and prioritize
+  them. Experiment on colocation providers.

+  * Work with Jenkins. Purging older jobs to reduce slowdowns. Delete 75 GB of
+    data, Jenkins speeds up.

+  * Jenkins monitor. Reduce noise. It now takes a 15 minutes downtime to send a
+    report. Please send me any false reports.
+
+* Michael Dawson
+  * Jobs that do v8 testing in the node tree. PR pending. Still needs svn to be
+    added to ansible configuration.
+  * PPC big endian support in release (toolchain related issues)
+  * Adding AIX machine and setting up builds
+
+* Myles Borins
+  * Refactoring on CITGM.
+

+
+## Minutes
+
+### Alpine Linux / Docker Build [#75 #21]
+
+Hans: Will run Jenkins slaves in Docker containers. Next steps: provision a
+machine, write ansible configuration.
+
+Someone mentioned [dante](https://github.com/retrohacker/dante).
+
+Rod: which tag of Alpine Linux? Is this going to be a constant or a job parameter?
+
+### Option to run V8 test suite [#199]
+
+Doesn’t run on windows at the moment.
+
+Add subversion to a subset of the machines to expand testing
+
+### Make sure all init scripts has JOBS and NODE_TEST_DIR [#291]
+
+Now supporting running tests in parallel.
+
+Johan will put together a proposal
+
+### how do we manage and share tokens tied to jenkins/github?
+
+We cannot trust Jenkins with security tokens because they might bleed to stdout.
+
+Joao will comment on how it works today. Johan will create an issue about it.
