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]

CTC review issues:

• assert: unlock the assert API
• Changing Definition of "Locked" for Stability Index in API Docs
• tty: remove NODE_TTY_UNSAFE_ASYNC
• Symbol key props visible in inspection by default

[Trott]

(Mentioning @fhinkel in a comment for notification purposes as I messed up and didn't include the @-mention originally when opening the issue. Sorry for the spam, everyone else.)

[targos]

I'll be in a train at the time of the meeting. I will try to connect over 4G but apologize in advance in case I can't make it.

[mhdawson]

I should be there at the start but will need to travel during part of the meeting as well so my participation may be spotty.

[joshgav]

I'm traveling tomorrow and won't be able to make it. Can someone else please take notes? Thanks!

[Trott]

I'll be missing most or all of the meeting, and it's 3AM for Rod, so he's missing it to almost certainly. It's a pretty slim agenda right now. Two of the three issues that are on the agenda were put there by @jasnell. Maybe he can run the meeting? And hopefully someone volunteers to take notes...

[bnoordhuis]

Perhaps we should skip it? There seems to be consensus on nodejs/node#10467, nodejs/TSC#174 has no significant new developments, and I don't think we're remotely ready to discuss nodejs/node#11233, never mind reaching a decision.

Speaking for myself, I haven't even seriously started reading through all the discussion threads, let alone form a well-reasoned opinion.

[cjihrig]

I am unable to attend this week.

[jasnell]

I'm good with skipping. I know quite a few folks are tied up this week.

[evanlucas]

+1 to skipping

[Fishrock123]

Decided on the call to skip this week. Agenda is sparse and nothing is too pressing this week.
