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.

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.

[mmarchini]

heads up, I added this to the agenda: #916

[mcollina]

I won't be able to join to discuss #34887. Maybe you can invite @ronag.

[ronag]

I'm happy to participate but I'm not sure what further input I can provide in relation to the last time I was invited?

I think @MylesBorins and a few others expressed positive feedback on landing it but wanted further feedback from collaborators. If there is someone particular we would like to receive feedback from I would encourage a ping or two on the PR. I've requested a review from @benjamingr who did a deep review of the original PR.

[mhdawson]

@ronag should #34887 still be on the agenda, I had thought we'd agreed it could be removed until more input was needed?

[mhdawson]

@jasnell, should #904 still be on the agenda ?

[ronag]

@ronag should #34887 still be on the agenda, I had thought we'd agreed it could be removed until more input was needed?

Not sure. It wasn't me that added it to the agenda. As it looks right know nothing is happening with it... So I guess one thing to discuss is whether there has been sufficient collab feedback and if not how that could be achieved.

[jasnell]

I believe that #904 can be taken off the agenda now. The discussion is progressing on GitHub.
