Agenda

How the Squirrel.Windows deprecation affects us (@malept)
- Reboot proposal from @shiftkey -- rebooting the maintainer group, adding people to triage issues, etc.
- Someone from governance should be a part of talks if they aren't already
- Felix says that Jann (@bitdisaster) from Slack may be interested in picking this up.
electron-userland/electron-download is now @electron/get - which modules to move next? (@malept)
- Suggestions: -osx-sign (need to talk to Seth), -notarize
- We've discussed moving important modules from userland to electron/*. It's not an immediate need but something we should discuss. The ability to sign is super important.
What Electron versions should tools support? (@malept)
- Background
- One option: only have tools support the officially supported versions
- RESOLVED: yes, we only support the officially-supported versions
Can we improve docs updates? (@kilian)
- I'd be happy to review (more) + merge docs changes but that needs commit access on the entire Electron repo. Can we figure out a way to let more people work on docs without giving them access to the entire repo? (e.g. with docs as a submodule?)
- Same for review requests, not possible in the current setup.
- Meeting ran out of time, this discussion will be followed-up in the Slack channel
