Minutes

Present

  • Rod (build, facilitator)
  • Ben (TC)
  • Bert (TC)
  • Chris (TC)
  • Fedor (TC)
  • Trevor (TC)

sys: Remove after 3 years of deprecation #182

nodejs/node#182

  • Ben: what sort of strategy to take? Deprecated only in the docs but no warning. Looking for an official deprecation policy.
  • Bert: suggest we could properly deprecate but not a good case for removing it completely, Chris agreed
  • Fedor: suggested a policy that removal of deprecated features should be done where there is a maintenance overhead, but otherwise if there is little/no cost then "who cares"
  • Discussed a deprecation message on require(‘sys’)
    • Ben: -0
    • Fedor: +1
    • Chris: +1
    • Trevor: -0
    • Bert: +1
  • No disagreement to adding a deprecation message, ask initial PR submitter to change to just adding a message

module: force require('process') to return a reference to process #206

nodejs/node#206

  • #157 has a long discussion on this: nodejs/node#157
  • Chris: +1 on a PR adding this
  • Trevor: it just returns a global, no point
  • Bert: not the way that JS adds new features; discussed the new Intl addition to joyent/node, in favor of making more things requirable rather than adding new globals all the time
  • Tangential discussion on the Intl object being added in joyent/node
  • Collected votes:
    • Bert: +0
    • Ben: +0.5
    • Trevor: -0
    • Fedor: +1
    • Chris: +1
  • Ben to handle the merge / resolution

File copyright policy #216

nodejs/node#216

  • Rod asked if there are any strong opinions about how to handle this
  • Group agreed that Rod will take this issue and seek legal advice to find a way forward

Rename v0.12 to v1.0.0

nodejs/node#218

  • Trevor: concerns about 1.0 vs 1.x branch naming with maintaining semver releases while also doing LTS, 1.x effectively becomes master until a 2.0 comes along.
  • Bert: -1
  • Ben: +1
  • Chris: +1
  • Fedor: +1
  • Trevor: 0

Action: Rename to "v1.x", Ben agreed to make the change

Merge strategy (v0.10 and joyent/node)

  • Much discussion about merge strategies, patches, branches, etc.
  • Agreed to merge regularly
  • Bert agreed to monitor the situation and propose a merge strategy when the time is right

Next meeting

  • Agreed to meet again on the 7th of January UTC
  • Agreed to have mini-stand-up at the beginning of each meeting
