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.

V8 currency: no update (I was on vacation)

[Trott]

Updates from the CPC meeting:

• CFP for OpenJS World is extended. Ends next week.
• Joyent has transferred the Node.js trademark to OpenJS Foundation.
• Focus on JavaScript security at OpenJS: A focus on JavaScript security at OpenJS openjs-foundation/cross-project-council#826
  • @nodejs/security @nodejs/security-triage That might be of interest. Please take a look!

I missed the second half of the meeting. @mhdawson Feel free to add anything I might have missed. No obligation though. I'll go through the minutes and try to update the list above myself (if there's anything noteworthy to add).

[mcollina]

I will chair this meeting!

[mcollina]

Can somebody else start the live streaming? Apparently the password I had for the foundation zoom account was changed / became out of date.

[BethGriggs]

@mcollina I can, give me a couple of mins
