Summit Topic: Collaborator effort - CI Fixathon

[BridgeAR]

Motivation

Our CI results are super bad and a green CI became a rare thing instead of being the default. This has two main causes: 1. we have multiple tests that are flaky. Some of those might also indeed hide a underlying bug. 2. Our infrastructure is under constant fire and every help in the build issues would be great. That would be great as a short term improvement.

Since we all have different knowledge it would be great to gather a bunch of people all in one room to sit down for 1-2 hours to address these issues in a collaborative way. This is likely not something anyone of us really likes to do but I think it is super important nevertheless. So please volunteer.

Refs: nodejs/node#18660

Agenda:

1. Identify what tests and issues each one in the group looks into.
2. Work on those and open a pull request to fix them or address infrastructure related things right away if possible.
3. Help out others when finishing a PR / verify fixes.
4. Make a plan how to solve this issue on the long term. Having the CI in the current state makes it super hard for everyone working on Node.js and confuses new people.

Do we have available slots for this? cc @mcollina

https://nodejs-ci-health.mmarchini.me/ is a nice way to view failures platform-by-platform, could use help on ones that fail more often than others
