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.

@gireeshpunathil can you chair this one? I think @mcollina is out on holiday

[mhdawson]

I removed this from the agenda as I believe we agreed last week to do that - Daily notable summary - good idea? #1194

[mhdawson]

@gireeshpunathil sorry for the last notice as I was out the last 5 days and just noticed this one was the early one I can't make.

[gireeshpunathil]

we were six of us, and we decided to cancel this instance, as we did not see anything super-urgent in the agenda that cannot be moved to next week

people present:

Antoine du Hamel @aduh95 (TSC)
Beth Griggs @BethGriggs (TSC)
Gireesh Punathil @gireeshpunathil (TSC)
Darshan Sen @RaisinTen (TSC)
Richard Lau @richardlau (TSC)
Tobias Nießen @tniessen (TSC)

[RaisinTen]

Are we also going to add the minutes for this meeting like we did in #1154, so that the tooling doesn't mark the attendees as absent in this meeting? I'm asking because we closed this issue before creating a PR.

[Trott]

we were six of us, and we decided to cancel this instance, as we did not see anything super-urgent in the agenda that cannot be moved to next week

Given that we adjusted the meeting times very recently, I would have expected better attendance. I'll review the spreadsheet to see who has this time rated highly and also did not attend this week. I'll contact those people to confirm their spreadsheet info is up to date.
