• For those who just want to watch 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.

I won't attend the meeting today, but here are the OSSF Scorecard reports:

• OpenSSF Scorecard Report Updated! #1129 issue with all the changes summarised
• OpenSSF Scorecard Report Updated #1130 PR with all the changes

Quick analysis: seems like there are some decreasing between -0.3 to -0.7 in many repositories that we monitor but are archived, I will create a PR after my holidays to ignore them.

I think the most relevant to discuss in the meeting are:

Repository	Commit	Score	Score Delta	Report	StepSecurity
nodejs/node	7ed50e5	7.7	-0.3 / Details	View	Fix it

It was just me and @marco-ippolito so we cancelled for today.
