• Probably should discuss how to include node-gyp and NAN in Jenkins, we've had requests for both projects and it makes sense, particularly for NAN which has a big test suite (node-gyp has a ... smaller test suite).
• I've been pondering our ARM hardware and would like to discuss how we might go about ensuring that we have hardware test coverage that is as close as possible to what is being used in the wild for Node—for IoT, hobbyist, etc. users. Consider how newer platforms like Pi Zero have the potential to change the landscape. Also think of MIPS and how we have zero coverage there. It might be something we can defer to the Hardware WG, maybe they can do some surveys or perhaps they have existing data.

re arm/mips: I have a tessel 2 at my office. Not doing too much at the moment since running tests on it is painful. So far I'm looking into their build system as well as compile testing.
