Joining the meeting

• link for participants: https://zoom.us/j/715960833
• For those who just want to watch: 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.

[AshCripps]

Will this meeting go ahead? The agenda is the same as the last one and Michael is unavailable so will need someone else to chair.

[rvagg]

I guess not, I don't have admin to whatever zoom account that is. We could talk metrics during this slot 1:1 if you're super keen @AshCripps but perhaps you haven't had time to absorb all the details that I fired off at you already.

[AshCripps]

Ive had a play around and got the stuff set up on my end and was working with some stuff to pull files out of cloud storage, so we could have a quick chat if you want.

[wesleytodd]

Would there be time to chat about these (all realated)? I have been meaning to open an issue on this, but I saw the meeting on the calendar today so thought I would ask!

nodejs/package-maintenance#236
nvm-sh/nvm#2170
pkgjs/nv#5
pkgjs/nv#9

The topic is how we build/support tooling which relies on the schedule and build output for determining node versions. I have a tentative agreement that both nvm and n would support these aliases if it meant no date math. If we did the right things at build time, then those tools could easily just pull it, instead of having to replicate complicated date logic all over the place (especially in bash!).

I am happy to hop on the call if it would be a good addition or open an issue for later discussion, let me know what works best!

[mhdawson]

I can't make the call today as I have a presentation at the Think conference at the same time.

[mhdawson]

@sam-github I think you have the zoom credentials etc. right?

[wesleytodd]

I am not a member of the WG, but I also have the credentials and am happy to start it and then hand off host if that is necessary.

[rvagg]

Of someone wants to take notes and chair this as a proper meeting then go ahead. If not, let's just have a casual chat about some open issues with whoever shows up. I'm not in a position to run a formal meeting this morning myself.

[rvagg]

Oh, and we'd still need a host for this zoom. If one doesn't show up shortly I'll drop in a new link here.

[wesleytodd]

logging into the openjsf account now

[wesleytodd]

Oh, is this not run under the OpenJSF account? Or is it not on the main account?

[rvagg]

No idea @wesleytodd
