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.

Next-10 Strategic Initiative Update

• Suitable types - next step PR in changes to doc style/api guides
• Single binary exe's discussed in mini-summit but no champion to push forward, should probably still land something so we capture what we agreed would be best way forward
• Modern http
  • undici landed/being tweaked
• Documentation
  • PR goal to have inline example for all methods/functions - doc: document goal to have examples node#42274
  • Planning to work on documenting metadata
• Planning for next virtual summit on WASM and Security, 7th of April
• Planning for sessions at OpenJS World (common, review modern http progress, baseline review, ESM and Observability as technical deep dives)

I'm probably going to miss this one.

On V8 currency: V8 9.9 and later are blocked on a Windows compiler issue. We haven't found any work around it yet. There is a V8 issue but no comment on it yet.

[Trott]

Not sure if I can make it to the meeting today, but for the announcements: Node.js 17.7.1 coming soon due to a url.resolve() regression affecting [email protected].

• 17.7 Regression on url.resolve breaks Yarn 1.x node#42279
• url: revert fix url.parse() for @hostname node#42280

If I don't make it in time for the discussion on the resume-ci label -- I'm supportive of introducing it and would not block triagers from applying it. I would like to point out though that it's going to be much more complicated to implement than the request-ci label. I added some notes in nodejs/node#40817 (comment) for anyone who wants to tackle implementing it.
