The agenda comes from issues labelled with tsc-agenda across all of the repositories in the nodejs org. Please label any additional issues that should be on the agenda before the meeting starts.

Joining the meeting

Zoom link: https://zoom.us/j/611357642
Regular password

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.

I am chairing diagnostics WG at the same time, so cannot make it to this instance; request @BridgeAR or @tniessen or @aduh95 or @targos to share the essence of our discussion on nodejs/node#30697

[ronag]

I’m ~5 min late

[mhdawson]

I missed that this conflicts with the Diagnostic WG meeting again this week. Give me a few minutes to figure out a new link for us to use.

Obligatory Moderation Team member comment: Just make sure you use a waiting room or else a password that you send to the tsc email list, because otherwise, we're gonna get Zoom-bombed.

[targos]

I won't be able to make it, sorry!

Because of the change, we'll be unable to stream this meeting. @mhdawson will record it and intends to upload it after-the-fact. Sorry, stream-watching folks!

@mhdawson - it did not occur to me that we can run only one meeting with the foundation's zoom handle at a time. Also, when it said there is another meeting in progress and when I ended it, it did not occur to me that it was this meeting that was underway. Apologies.

[mhdawson]

@gireeshpunathil I should have caught it earlier and tried to have one rescheduled. We switched to another link and I'll upload the recording later.
