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.

[ofrobots]

I have a conflict for the first half hour. I will join after that.

[Fishrock123]

Vacation this week.

Re: realpath - we need to have some option for modules to use.

[orangemocha]

I am on vacation this week and the next.

[indutny]

I have a schedule conflict, may not be able to join you today. Sorry!

[jhamhader]

Will attend the IRC and listen to the live meeting for the realpath discussion.

[srl295]

i have a conflict for the last 30 minutes, but will join for the first 30.

[Trott]

Standup portion of the doc is ready for anyone wanting to update it before the meeting.

[ChALkeR]

I will probably skip this week, not feeling very well today.

The only thing I wanted to note about #7175 is that simply reverting #3594 would be a semver-major change, as it will break the encoding option, so the fix (if any) would have to take that into an account.

[jdalton]

I'll be attending to give an update on the UnambiguousJavaScriptGrammar ES module proposal which was introduced last week.

[rvagg]

Please go ahead without me. I've woken up to find I have a sick child to deal with.

[Trott]

No live stream today. Apologies to everyone listening/waiting. It is being recorded and I hope/imagine that @rvagg (or someone else) will be able to edit and post audio at a later date.

[benjamingr]

@Trott I would be interested in @jdalton's introduction - but minute notes would be fine.
