- Contribution Policy was merged last week.

- Concerns about https://github.com/node-forward/node/issues/2 have been brought
up, it effects almost every line and will make merges with Joyent
unnecessarily painful in the short term. The consensus was to put it on the
back burner.

- It's a little difficult to work in the fork at the moment:
- It's hard to contextualize what to fix without having a release in mind
- We'll start doing source-only releases ASAP so that we can create a work
scope.
- Someone will be in charge of keeping their head around and driving each
release. This should probably rotate, Bert will take on the first one with
the goal of releasing before the end of the month.
- For now tagging will create a GitHub "release." Eventually the build infra
can attach binary installers to that GitHub release.
- It's hard to keep a list of issues that are being tackled from the backlog
in joyent's repo
- Bert will maintain a list of TODO checkbox items in a GitHub Issue for a
release the references the PRs and Issues in Joyent's repo. We'll also be on
the lookout for other tools that might make this easier.

- The build stuff is coming up a lot and the discussion about how releases work
should include someone from the build project.

- Invite whoever is leading the build effort (current @rvagg) to the TC meeting
to participate (non-voting).

- Eventually we'll need a better support structure where community members can
triage issues and respond to all the incoming requests.
- @mikeal created a "community" group and a repo for larger community issues.
Once there is some momentum there we can bring problems like this to the
community but the repo we currently control write access to doesn't have all
of the issues in it so this can wait.
- @indutny suggested a bot that auto-responds. @isaacs thought an
autoresponder was a little inhuman. It was agreed that the best thing to do
is have a bot that comments on the issue *once a tag is added* that is
specific to that tag and run in concert with humans tagging issues.
- @piscisaureus really wants to find a way for him to tell if someone already
looked at an issue so that him, trevor, ben, and fedor don't independently
look at every issue.

- @indutny wants to get a newer v8 in. this work is slated to be finished for
the first release.
- @trevnorris mentioned that there are some new features in v8 that we may
want to use to replace certain parts of node down the road.

- @trevnorris and @isaacs want a "commit script" that people can run which
automates a lot of the manual cleanliness we currently require for all commits.
v8 has as simliar one. this will be written in javascript by @isaacs and
@trevnorris .

- When pulling in joyent/node commits we should use no-fast-forward commits.

- If people want to talk to the TC in a more "chatty" way we should use the
`#node-forward` IRC channel on freenode. We need to add logging.

- The video of TC meetings doesn't include the chat so we need to be aware of
that when using it during the calls.

Video of the call is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNW_tu2QnpA

* Update on Build
* @rvagg is working on getting the builds consistently green
before moving on to more complicated things.
* @issacs brought up the Joyent Advisory board
* Some confusion out there about Node Forward vs. Advisory Board
* @mikeal updated the messaging on the website to be clearer
* The website has clearer calls to action for the community
* Libuv move
* The libuv contributors want to move to the libuv org.
* @mikeal will email @indutny and other libuv contributors to ask them
to log an issue about this on their repo for transparency and so that
this is not a surprise to Joyent
* Update on "release buckets"
* doesn't make sense while we're private, we'll wait until it is public again
* `node-forward/node` going public
* when we made the repo private it was messaged as only being for "four weeks"
* "four weeks" is up on November 8th
* someone on the Advisory Board needs to remind Joyent of this in the
next advisory board meeting so they aren't suprised by it even though
it was communicated to them when it was first made public.
* @mikeal will work on the messaging in the README to make it clear this is
a "soft" fork and not a "hard" fork.
* ramifications of going public will be discussed in next week's TC meeting as
well
* @mikeal proposed a change in TC meeting process
* it's impossible to schedule all the timezones involved in every meeting
* every Monday create a "Weekly TC Agenda" Issue people can contribute to
* the TC members who care about that Agenda will state they want to be in the
meeting
* @mikeal will work to schedule the TC members who care for a hangout
* people are using and liking gitter
* we'll consider moving from IRC to gitter once the repo is public again
* yes, gitter has IRC integration (you can login to gitter from an IRC client)
