+## Agenda
+
+* Locking LTS staging branches (@mylesborins)
+* Uniform way to trigger debugger on first line [node#12630](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/12630)
+
+## Previous Meeting Review
+
+* src: update --inspect hint text [node#11207](https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/11207)
+
+## Minutes
+
+### Locking LTS staging branches (@mylesborins)
+
+First meeting of backport team a couple weeks ago. Working out how to distribute work on backporting to more people.
+
+Proposal: Make staging branches for LTS branches only writable by LTS team. Would be *only* once a version transitions to LTS status (e.g. in October).
+
+@mylesborins will also open a proposal to lock release branches to release team.
+
+@rvagg: Can others open PRs against those branches? @mylesborins: I think so. If something blocks workflows we'll revert to current permissions.
+
+**Next steps**
+
+* @mylesborins to implement the proposal.
+
+---
+
+### Uniform way to trigger debugger on first line [node#12630](https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/12630)
+
+Request to add back --debug-brk as flag to break on first line of script, as --inspect-brk isn't available 6.3->7.?.
+
+@mylesborins: Vendors want a consistent API. IMHO we should come up with a reasonable API for 8 and go from there.
+
+@mhdawson: Makes sense to start fresh and decide what's best.
+
+@Trott: Let this continue on GitHub for another week, then determine if further action is needed.
+
+**Next steps**
+
+* Continue discussion in GitHub.
+
+## Q&A, Other
+
+### Q: @refack: Can we negotiate a GYP handoff to Node.js?
+
+See also [nodejs/ctc#110](https://github.com/nodejs/CTC/issues/110).
+
+Google/V8 moving to gn. gyp will "just work" for a while longer with no major changes, and Node can pick parts we need from gn.
+
+@mylesborins: Two items to consider re gyp: 1) building Node itself with gyp, 2) building add-on modules with node-gyp.
+
+If we forked/took over maintenance of gyp we could: remove code we don't need; and plan transition to gyp.js or the like.
+
+@mylesborins: Suggest spinning a team out of the Build WG to investigate.
+
+@fhinkel: No problem with forking. Owned by Chromium team (not V8 specifically).
+
+### Q: What's new in Node 8?
+
+* N-API as experimental
+* WHATWG URL implementation out of experimental
+* V8 Inspector out of experimental, old API removed
+* HTTP/2 (June)
+
+### Q: Should I use NAN or N-API in 8?
+
+@mhdawson: Module authors should try it out, but for production continue to use NAN.
+
+@jasnell: While in experimental state breaking changes are likely.
