I will not be able to join but there is some topics what I want to raise some attention:

• Add Blob.text and Blob.arraybuffer are 10x+ slower on 20.x #118 to performance-agenda, to discuss if we can do something to help jasnell.
• Add Stream performance improvement ideas #117 to performance-agenda, to see if we can do more optimizations.
• Add Node errors are very slow to create #40 to performance-agenda, just to follow the updates because the perf improvements I think is relevant.
• Talk about What's new for the Node.js Performances? - 2023 version #98, how we can use this issue to publish updates about what we are doing? The improvements in streams and errors are relevant enough to push some attention to it.

There was too little attendance (3 people), and I lost my internet connection in the middle...

[Uzlopak]

I think @rluvaton and I had still a good meeting ;). Talked till now.

Good first experience. :)

[andremralves]

I was intending to attend but I misread the time in my local timezone 😢

I hope to participate in the next meeting.

[Uzlopak]

Maybe next appointment we should provide ical and/or ics files.

[italojs]

I will try participate of the next meeting too

@anonrig
I guess we still need to put the Meeting notes into the repo?

[H4ad]

@Uzlopak I think is good, do you still remember what was discussed? If not, feel free to close this issue.

[Uzlopak]

It was basically @rluvaton @anonrig and me. After 15 minutes @anonrig lost connection, and @rluvaton and I discussed informally.

I would say, we can close this issue.
