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 three items that are on the agenda, @nodejs/ctc review is currently requested for these 12 (!!!) pull requests:

• module: remove require('.') with NODE_PATH compat
• http: don't inherit from Object.prototype
• tty: remove NODE_TTY_UNSAFE_ASYNC
• 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
• process: implement resourceUsage()
• doc: document use of the Squash and merge button
• linkedlist: remove unused methods
• doc: add active, enroll and unenroll
• async_hooks initial implementation
• module: add support for abi stable module API
