Notes

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

Uberconference; participants should have the link & numbers, contact me if you don't.

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 it.

Things to be prepared with for this meeting:

• Review Request to migrate Inclusivity Working Group responsibilities to the Node.js Foundation and TSC Request to migrate Inclusivity Working Group responsibilities to the Node.js Foundation and TSC #133 as we should probably pass a motion to request an investigation if we can
• If there are any other folks that would like to stand for TSC Chair and/or TSC Director position(s), now is the time to do so, there is space and discussion in those two threads. We should probably move a formal motion next week (too late for this week given I'm only suggesting it now!)
• Review the discussion at TSC Elections - One position or two? TSC Elections - One position or two? #128 as we should at least have a brief discussion about it in preparation for a formal motion, or motions, next week
• There has been no movement in Define "Node.js core" - Mark II Define "Node.js core" - Mark II #113 but we need to circle back on it soon, from our recent discussions I suggest it's not going to be productive to rehash what we've discussed during a meeting when we could make some more progress in the issue first.
• I put a proposal in Regular roll-up reporting for active working groups Regular roll-up reporting for active working groups #109 and it's got a bunch of 👍's but I haven't made any more progress so it's probably not worth covering in this meeting till I get myself into gear
• Investigate moving nvm into the foundation Investigate moving nvm into the foundation #96 has some movement but I have not had time to digest it so I'd like someone else to lead a brief summary of state of play and what they think next steps might be, if any. Keep in mind that if we're a long way off any kind of decision then we should avoid wasting too much meeting time when the same thing could probably be achieved on GitHub.

@nodejs/ctc invited too of course, come and discuss if any of this interests you.

On the topic of nvm I'll be joining if @ljharb cannot make it to explain the state of things. I was asking for a vote here since the process of moving things into the foundation seemed to say this is how it should be approached.

[ljharb]

I'll be able to join about half an hour late (if someone wouldn't mind shooting me the uberconference info).
