NPM

Up and Running: Installation and Usage

To get started with make-node-meeting install the tool globally:

npm install make-node-meeting -g

Next, make sure coreutils is installed (macOS):

brew install coreutils

Once the dependencies are installed, create a new directory to hold the config for the meeting you want to generate:

mkdir ~/.make-node-meeting

Create a new .sh file in this directory to hold your meeting configuration:

touch ~/.make-node-meeting/<meetingname>.sh # Where <meetingname> is the name of the group or WG you want to create a meeting for.

Once this file is created, open it in your editor of choice add a configuration. There are several example configurations in this repo.

When the configuration is added, run the following command:

make-node-meeting <meetingname> # Where <meetingname> is the name of the group or WG you want to create a meeting for

Fill out the questions it asks as appropriate for your specific case. Once complete, make-node-meeting will output the Markdown source into your terminal - copy and paste it into your issue and you should be ready to go!

Configuration

Given a working group "code", produce Markdown-formatted issue text for that working group. The code is used to load a configuration file as ~/.make-node-meeting/code.sh which contains settings required for customising the text.

The configuration file must contain:

GROUP_NAME="Name of Group"
MEETING_TIME="UTC day and time"
INVITEES="Markdown list of invitees"
JOINING_INSTRUCTIONS="Specific instructions on how to join"

The configuration file can optionally contain:

GITHUB_ORG="openjs-foundation"
HOST="OpenJS Foundation"

The MEETING_TIME is used to work out when the next meeting should occur and print that date and time accordingly, with translations to various world timezomes.

For example, ~/.make-node-meeting/ctc.sh might contain:

GROUP_NAME="Core Technical Committee (CTC)"
MEETING_TIME="Wednesday 8pm"
INVITEES="
* @bnoordhuis (CTC)
* @chrisdickinson (CTC)
...
"
JOINING_INSTRUCTIONS="Uberconference; participants should have the link & numbers."

Furthermore, node-meeting-agenda is used to embed the agenda inline in the text. The group code is used to look up the code-agenda label across the nodejs GitHub org, e.g. ctc-agenda, to find issues and pull requests that need to be on the meeting agenda.
