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.

[cjihrig]

I'm on vacation this week and won't be able to attend, but I'd like to be present for the discussion of nodejs/build#1827. This is not an urgent issue (and actually is a non-issue IMO), so can it be delayed a week?

[Trott]

@ChALkeR Is nodejs/node#27508 something we should talk about this week? If so, is there a particular decision to be made at this time?

[mhdawson]

@cjihrig I agree we should defer #1827 or possibly just remove it from the agenda if the resources are just going to stay in place...

@cjihrig I agree we should defer #1827 or possibly just remove it from the agenda if the resources are just going to stay in place...

I'd be in favor of removing it from the agenda, but I think only @sam-github is allowed to do that since they are the one that tagged it.

[sam-github]

@cjihrig I removed nodejs/build#1827 from TSC agenda, put it back on when the timing is right.

[mhdawson]

Not a lot on the agenda. @jasnell you mentioned you wanted to continue a discussion from last week, otherwise I'd suggest we might cancel for this week.

[ChALkeR]

@Trott I will post a status update on nodejs/node#27508 later today on GitHub. I might even just dismiss my review, will see later. I don't recommend keeping the meeting because of just that.

[Fishrock123]

I don't think I will be getting up in time for the meeting, but lots of prototype / speccing progress has been made wrt streams apis.

[ChALkeR]

@Trott I untagged nodejs/node#27508 and removed it from the agenda.

[mhdawson]

There is not much on the agenda and only 3 confirmed attendees so I think it makes sense to cancel this week.

[mhdawson]

Removing from calendar for this week as well.
