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]

In addition to the two items on the agenda for this week, there are seven other issues for which @nodejs/ctc review has been requested. These will not be discussed during the meeting but CTC members are encouraged to take a look at these and weigh in as appropriate:

• Invert dependency between core and readable-stream
• doc: charter the Release working group
• repl: make REPLServer.bufferedCommand private
• promises: more robust stringification
• src: adjust windows abort behavior to make sense
• [v8.x] doc,tls: mark parseCertString() as deprecated
• Should we continue to support FreeBSD?

[mhdawson]

I'm wondering what more we need on nodejs/Release#223 in terms of reaching consensus. Its approved by 2 CTC members so far.

I'd like to set a target date for "ratification" as per https://github.com/nodejs/CTC/blob/master/WORKING_GROUPS.md in the meeting this week.

I don't see any objections in the thread at this point (I believe Jame's comments have been addressed)

How about we set the target for the next meeting ?

[addaleax]

I’d like to move promises: more robust stringification to the CTC agenda; there hasn’t really been any movement for a while, it’s not an overly complicated issue and it’s something on which we should come to a conclusion at some point.

[addaleax]

Also, I’ll try to make it, but I can’t promise that I’ll be there.

[jasnell]

I'm unfortunately quite under the weather today. I'm going to skip to get some more rest
