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]

Big agenda this week: 6 items. Are any of them things that have been resolved already and/or can otherwise be removed from the agenda or postponed to a later date?

[Trott]

Issues labeled ctc-review. @nodejs/ctc PTAL:

• module: remove require('.') with NODE_PATH compat
• http: don't inherit from Object.prototype
• doc: add active, enroll and unenroll
• async_hooks initial implementation edit by @addaleax: practically superseded by Async Hooks - Initial Implementation node#12892
• stream: move prefixed files into internal/streams.
• lib,src: exit process on unhandled promise rejection cleanup
• Who should have access to the security repo ?
• Why do people need/want to be org owners
• regression: 3rd party debuggers are incompatible with node8 nighlies
• Forming a GYP WG
• Uniform way to trigger debugger on first line
• Confirmation that the stability definition is correct
• lib,src: eagerly exit process on unhanded promise rejections
• Async Hooks - Initial Implementation

[addaleax]

nodejs/node#12442 should be quick, it just needs one more person of @bnoordhuis @fhinkel @Fishrock123 @mhdawson @rvagg @shigeki @trevnorris to vote in favour of or abstain in order for it to be accepted

(edit: done, we don’t need to bring this one up! 🎉)

[refack]

Async Hooks - Initial Implementation is a continuation of
async_hooks initial implementation

IMHO Uniform way to trigger debugger on first line and regression: 3rd party debuggers are incompatible with node8 nighlies can be folded into inspector: restore --debug-brk alias as current consensus is nodejs/node#12630 (comment)
