Agenda so far: lifted from issues marked with _tc-agenda_, please label, or ask to have issues labelled if they need to be elevated to TC discussion.

• #1101 http: allow HTTP to return an HTTPS server / @silverwind / the use of a tls option to trigger https module functionality
• #1301 Util(.is*) Deprecations / @Fishrock123 & @brendanashworth / this comment asking for an opinion from the TC on how to move forward

[rvagg]

I consulted @indutny on the time change and he's fine with it because it'll be 10pm where he is. The old time pushes to 5am for me and 6am is hard enough.

However, since this is pretty much unilateral and very late, if there is objection to the time change by other participants then I'm more than happy for the meeting to go ahead at UTC 19:00 rather than 20:00 like I'm proposing. Please discuss that here and make sure that anyone watching this issue is aware of it any change that happens (I'll be asleep!)

[rvagg]

I'd also like one of the participants to volunteer to minute the meeting this time, perhaps @domenic or @Fishrock123?

[rvagg]

Another potential topic, and I don't want to labour on reconciliation too much, but @mikeal locked #1336 because he felt it had come to and end, was just collecting trolls and wasn't focused on constructive discussion. I believe this is the first issue that's been locked in this repo (there may have been others in node-forward) and it might be worth discussing TC thoughts on this course of action. It wasn't long ago that I was criticising issue closing to shut down discussion on joyent/node but now we're doing it here.

@rvagg While he locked it, he did offer other avenues to continue discussion. The current thread had turned into trolling and spreading FUD.

[Fishrock123]

4:00 Eastern is a little late for me, I have prior obligations at 5:15 every Wednesday, which I need to have a bit to eat before and drive to.

However, that's not much is comparison to 5am. If we start relatively on-time it won't be too much of an issue.

I'd also like one of the participants to volunteer to minute the meeting this time, perhaps Domenic Denicola or Jeremiah Senkpiel?

I think @domenic already does, I'll try to help, but I'm not really good at taking notes so I wouldn't trust myself with doing most of it.

[phpnode]

Has the workers implementation PR already been discussed? #1159 I couldn't find mention of that in recent meetings and it seems like one of the more significant new features.

[silverwind]

Maybe the require('.') controversy (#1356) could be another topic.

The options are to either keep it as is, revert (#1358) or workaround (#1363).

My vote would be to keep as is, as the workaround did turn out quite ugly and because require('.') + NODE_PATH was surely never intended to used like in #1356.

[Fishrock123]

@silverwind agreed that it should probably be tc-agenda; I tagged the revert PR.

[mikeal]

Let's add an agenda item to talk about https://github.com/jasnell/dev-policy
