Any questions in #node-dev on IRC or comments in this thread

@nodejs/lts Please 👍 if you can make the meeting, and 👎 if you cannot.

[gibfahn]

I've left the semver-minor commits on the agenda because I think it'd be good to agree on them now, we could wait another 3 weeks, but then we're getting very close to the 6.12.0 rc. Given that some of these have been waiting for ~5 months, and are IMO needed on v6.x, I'd rather we got them locked in now.

[MylesBorins]

+1 to discussing the semver minors on monday

We want to add discussing V8 6.1 on 8.x LTS as well.

Unfortunately I'm going to be on a flight at the time of the meeting, would people be opposed to pushing it forward a couple hours?

[gibfahn]

So 7 pm UTC? Fine by me.

[MylesBorins]

I was thinking forward rather than back.

Might even be easier to push by 24 hours if people are open.

If the scheduling doesn't work that is totally fine. I'm on flights from 8:40 am UTC -> 9:30 pm

[jasnell]

Have a specific time in mind?

[MylesBorins]

The simplest thing I could suggest would be pushing exactly 24 hours

[Fishrock123]

I should be able to make it to either

[gibfahn]

Tuesday 19th at 21:00 UTC SGTM. There's nothing else on in the calendar then. Given that pretty much everything on the agenda is v6.x backports, having you in the meeting seems pretty key @MylesBorins 😁 .

I'll change the agenda, we can change back if people can't make it.

EDIT: Do use the 👍 👎 to say whether you can make the new times.

[sam-github]

That's 2pm pst, right? Works for me, though I have to walk out my door at exactly 3pm to meet the school bus at the end of the block.

[jasnell]

If we're pushing to Tuesday, I have a conflict at 2pm PST. 1pm is open, however.

[sam-github]

On Tuesday, anytime from 6am-8am, 9am-5pm PST works for me.

[gibfahn]

Okay, pushed earlier an hour for James.

Is there anyone who can't make this time?

[hutson]

@gibfahn

• Issue title, 18th => 19th
• Under When, Monday => Tuesday

[sam-github]

@MylesBorins @jasnell @mhdawson do you have power to update the meeting time in the node calendar?

[gibfahn]

@hbetts updated, I think it's correct now.

[Fishrock123]

This might be early for @rvagg? I forget what time it was at before.

[gibfahn]

This might be early for @rvagg? I forget what time it was at before.

It's an hour earlier than it was before. Agreed that might be too early for @rvagg

[addaleax]

8PM Tuesday September 19th UTC, or in your local timezone

The link there is wrong, no?

[Fishrock123]

@addaleax appears to be, fixed it (I hope)

[mhdawson]

Creating hangout since it does not look like there is one.

[mhdawson]

Looks like I missed it, removing the links I added

[mhdawson]

Did the meeting happen, I don't see a link to meeting minutes ?

[sam-github]

@mhdawson check the issue history, the meeting got bumped to tomorrow, 8PM Tuesday September 19th UTC

[MylesBorins]

New time works for me

[rvagg]

Shifting by a day works better for me (normal slot no longer works for me) but we're down to 6am, so I'm not going to commit but I'll try.

[mhdawson]

@sam-github thanks, I caught the change in time but not the date.

[MylesBorins]

Do we have a link for the hangout?

[sam-github]

was just about to ask, seems not yet. @mhdawson can make one, or one of us could

[sam-github]

I'm doing it.

[sam-github]

We often seem to go half an hour over, I wonder if we should just officially make the meeting longer when its next scheduled? Alternatively, we could try to have meetings more often. The long discussion about V8 6.1 might be considered a one-off, but unless my memory fails me, the last two meetings also went half an hour over, there always seems to be something to discuss.

[gibfahn]

@sam-github probably worth raising a separate issue to discuss that.
