Notes

The agenda comes from issues labelled with ctc-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 CTC that's not worth putting on as a separate agenda item, this is a good place for it.

[Trott]

In addition to the one item on the agenda, here are the 15 items currently labeled ctc-review.

Would be nice to reduce this list, so if there's anything on here that doesn't need CTC input anymore, please by all means remove the label from that issue/PR.

• module: remove require('.') with NODE_PATH compat
• http: don't inherit from Object.prototype
• errors, process: port internal/process errors to internal/errors
• errors: assign error code to bootstrap_node created error
• errors, child_process: migrate to using internal/errors
• doc: add active, enroll and unenroll
• async_hooks initial implementation
• stream: move prefixed files into internal/streams.
• src, buffer: add --pending-deprecation flag Landed
• lib,src: exit process on unhandled promise rejection cleanup
• fs: Optimizations 3: The Revenge
• Emeritus status for CTC
• Who should have access to the security repo ?
• Why do people need/want to be org owners
• src: add require transform pipeline

[ChALkeR]

I am not sure if I will be present or not — I am not feeling well for the past few days, so it depends on how things will be on Wednesday for me.

[jasnell]

We should also make sure to discuss the planning around the delayed 8.0.0 release.

[addaleax]

I’ll try to show up but I’ll probably be ~30 min late, at this meeting as well as the next handful of meetings on this timeslot.

[targos]

I won't be present. I am on holiday this week.

[joshgav]

Background on the hint text agenda item in this comment. It would be a semver-major change after 8.0.0 (I think) hence tagged. With the decision to delay the release it's less urgent but your input would still be helpful. Thanks!

NB: I may miss today's meeting due to travel 😞 , so if you all prefer we can postpone discussion till next week per the delayed release plan.

[ChALkeR]

Sorry, I wasn't present at the meeting — I am not feeling well enough for voicechat.

[jasnell]

No worries @ChALkeR ... hope you feel better soon.

[mhdawson]

PR for minutes: #108

[Trott]

I believe we close these issues once there's a PR for minutes, so I'm going to close this. If I'm wrong, of course, feel free to re-open...
