Notes

The agenda comes from issues labelled with tsc-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. I'm using a tool to fetch the list so it's not a big deal to collate.

Joining the meeting

Uberconference; participants should have the link & numbers, contact me if you don't.

[mscdex]

Should we be using ctc-agenda and ctc-meeting labels now?

[mhdawson]

Out at a conference, won't be able to make it this week.

[shigeki]

Sorry, I can't attend the meeting this week.

[whitlockjc]

What are the chances of me attending as an observer?

[whitlockjc]

This was discussed offline, no need to respond here.

@nodejs/collaborators note that we now have a ctc-meeting label as well as a tsc-meeting label. The CTC is the "Core Technical Committee" and basically what the TSC has been doing until now. The TSC is currently the same group but is moving to more of an umbrella and organisational role so there will still be a need for the tsc-agenda label but it'll be the non-technical organisation items that this label will be used for.

Also note that I've cleaned up and published my agenda generating tool so you can use it to help organise your working group meetings if you need it. See [here] for details. It does this kind of thing, fetching issues from across all repos in the nodejs org:

tsc-agenda label but it'll be the non-technical organisation items

Then why do we call it as "Technical Steering Committee"?

@rvagg Looks like you may have omitted a link.

re: #3561 (comment), I find the CTC/TSC split confusing. I can kindof see the goal, I guess it was to distinguish somehow between overall Node.js steering, and the nodejs/node repo steering, but the terms still seem muddled across the docs. Some questions:

• The CTC and TSC membership is identical ATM, right?
• Is that a matter of policy (being on one makes you be a member of the other?), or just how it is at the moment?
• Is there a TSC meeting and a CTC meeting?
• Should https://github.com/nodejs/TSC link to a list of who is in the TSC?
• And should the TSC list in the Node.js TLP (oh no, another TLA) be updated to mention that this is the CTC, not the TSC? Or that it is the CTC and the TSC (if thats the case)?
