  • Contribution Policy was merged last week.

  • Concerns about https://github.com/node-forward/node/issues/2 have been brought up, it effects almost every line and will make merges with Joyent unnecessarily painful in the short term. The consensus was to put it on the back burner.

  • It's a little difficult to work in the fork at the moment:

    • It's hard to contextualize what to fix without having a release in mind
    • We'll start doing source-only releases ASAP so that we can create a work scope.
    • Someone will be in charge of keeping their head around and driving each release. This should probably rotate, Bert will take on the first one with the goal of releasing before the end of the month.
    • For now tagging will create a GitHub "release." Eventually the build infra can attach binary installers to that GitHub release.
    • It's hard to keep a list of issues that are being tackled from the backlog in joyent's repo
    • Bert will maintain a list of TODO checkbox items in a GitHub Issue for a release the references the PRs and Issues in Joyent's repo. We'll also be on the lookout for other tools that might make this easier.

  • The build stuff is coming up a lot and the discussion about how releases work should include someone from the build project.

  • Invite whoever is leading the build effort (current @rvagg) to the TC meeting to participate (non-voting).

  • Eventually we'll need a better support structure where community members can triage issues and respond to all the incoming requests.

    • @mikeal created a "community" group and a repo for larger community issues. Once there is some momentum there we can bring problems like this to the community but the repo we currently control write access to doesn't have all of the issues in it so this can wait.
    • @indutny suggested a bot that auto-responds. @isaacs thought an autoresponder was a little inhuman. It was agreed that the best thing to do is have a bot that comments on the issue once a tag is added that is specific to that tag and run in concert with humans tagging issues.
    • @piscisaureus really wants to find a way for him to tell if someone already looked at an issue so that him, trevor, ben, and fedor don't independently look at every issue.

  • @indutny wants to get a newer v8 in. this work is slated to be finished for the first release.

    • @trevnorris mentioned that there are some new features in v8 that we may want to use to replace certain parts of node down the road.

  • @trevnorris and @isaacs want a "commit script" that people can run which automates a lot of the manual cleanliness we currently require for all commits. v8 has as simliar one. this will be written in javascript by @isaacs and @trevnorris .

  • When pulling in joyent/node commits we should use no-fast-forward commits.

  • If people want to talk to the TC in a more "chatty" way we should use the #node-forward IRC channel on freenode. We need to add logging.

  • The video of TC meetings doesn't include the chat so we need to be aware of that when using it during the calls.
