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]

Reminder: This meeting will take place about 26 hours from now, not 2 hours from now. Check date above for your location if you are unsure.

[Trott]

Standup section of the doc is ready if you want to get that filled in before the meeting.

[bnoordhuis]

Seek legal advice on LICENSE and copyright blocks in code #3979

Gawd, why is that still on the agenda? Shouldn't we have had a response from our counsel by now?

[jasnell]

We can take #6573 off the agenda this week. There has been some feedback that I need to address. The remaining issues can likely be resolved via GH.

[jasnell]

@bnoordhuis ... yes, we should have, and this is a problem that I think we need to escalate.

[rvagg]

I'll nominate @jasnell to chair this meeting, I'm still not up to speed having taken a bit of downtime so I don't think I could lead it as constructively as others.

[jasnell]

@rvagg: will do.

[srl295]

regrets once again, but should be back on next wk.

[Fishrock123]

Livestream viewers, max 13 (!)

[jasnell]

@nodejs/ctc ... just letting you all know that there will be a vote next week for @thealphanerd's nomination to the CTC.
