  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]

Standup section of the new doc is ready to be filled out for anyone looking to get a jump.

This meeting will be happening in 23 hours from now.

[jasnell]

Reminder to @nodejs/ctc members: We will be voting on the nomination of @TheAlphaNerd to the CTC this week so please come prepared!

[Trott]

@nodejs/ctc:

Biggest thing of note to be prepared for, in my opinion at least:

• This will be (I think) the third time we will be discussing the Buffer hard deprecation stuff. @addaleax wrote a single-comment summary of the two decisions that need to be made. If you read nothing else about this issue, please read that so we can avoid unnecessarily spending time being briefed on the subject.

Important next-step item that I don't think happened:

• @jasnell was going to set up a Doodle poll so we could set up an additional meeting specifically for modules. If that's happened, could someone drop a link in here? If it hasn't happened and your name rhymes with Rames Rell, consider doing it posthaste. If it hasn't happened and your name does not rhyme with Rames Rell, consider asking someone whose name rhymes with Rames Rell if they would mind if you took it on and just did it. This is especially true if your GitHub handle is @bmeck , since there's not much point in having that meeting without Bradley.

Also of note:

• We will be voting on adding @TheAlphaNerd to the CTC. If you won't be attending, it would be nice to at least register your vote here on that subject. (My opinion only. I just think it's nice if everyone votes on membership issues. It's cool, even admirable, to abstain when you don't have an opinion. It seems like the one thing we should all have opinions on is membership, though. Again, my opinion only.)

[jasnell]

Doodle for Modules Meeting: http://doodle.com/poll/s4gcm28vmrdd3bqd :-)

[Trott]

Added Jenn Turner @renrutnnej (observer/Node.js Foundation) as an observer this week.

[ofrobots]

I won't be able to make it to the meeting. +1 vote on the CTC nomination for @TheAlphaNerd.

[cjihrig]

I won't be able to make it tomorrow and next week.

[evanlucas]

Sending my regrets for tomorrow. +1 on Myles joining the CTC though.

[joshgav]

Notes from last week including summary of Buffer discussion: #8245

General nit: "Node-EP" stands for Node Enhancement Proposal, I assume a la JEP for Java. The "s" is to indicate plural, not part of the acronym. That is all :)

[bnoordhuis]

Probably won't be able to make it. +1 on @TheAlphaNerd.

[rvagg]

@Trott would you mind leading this one?

[mhdawson]

I should be there but just in case connectivity turns out to be an issue +1 on @TheAlphaNerd

[Trott]

@Trott would you mind leading this one?

Sure, anytime.

[hackygolucky]

I'm running a Node Live this evening and will on site for prep during the
call. The only relevant thing I can think that folks would want to know
right now that I'm working on is searching for Core mentor(s) for the
Node.js project with Outreachy https://github.com/nodejs/education/issues/7

I'm sorry I can't be on the call today(unless it's very quick at the
beginning), but I'm happy to answer questions if someone wants to ping me
on irc as hackygolucky or email me.
