Additional topics:

• Automation via Github Actions/CI (I registered express for the beta and got an GH employee to say they will grant us beta access) Test node in all current versions actions/starter-workflows#19 (comment)
• Move req prototype to separate repo #82
• Idea: Utilize the NodeJS Slack workspace for collaborator real time communication
• Status Board #87

[wesleytodd]

I think this was one of the ideas we talked about last meeting, but with actions you can also tag PR's based on which files changed. Looking at this code I think we could write some simple logic to also tag if a change log is not changed, or tests not added.

Hey, sorry it is taking a bit longer to get links. I was greeted with this today:

Hangouts On Air has been discontinued

So trying to figure out an alternative. I got home really close to the start time, so didn't notice earlier :(

[dougwilson]

The funny part is there is a "Try webcam" link, but you literally cannot do anything if your computer does not have a webcam (i.e. like a desktop computer like I use 😂 )

[wesleytodd]

Guess it is time to look at using Zoom like the Node WG's do?

[dougwilson]

Yea, I'm open to using whatever. Even having a stream on YouTube is not a hard requirement for me (it would be nice to still at least be able to download the recording and reupload to YouTube, but idk if that is a must have).

[wesleytodd]

Zoom can stream straight to YT I believe.

[dougwilson]

Cool. I am registering for an account on Zoom right now 👍

[wesleytodd]

Looks like it requires having "webinar" enabled, looking if I can figure out how that works now

[dougwilson]

Webinar can be added to any paid plans such as Pro, Business or Edu

[wesleytodd]

Maybe we can get hooked into the OpenJSF or Node account for this in the future as it seems to be a paid feature, but for today can you just join and then separately capture the stream with like obs?

[dougwilson]

Yea, something that doesn't need to happen immediately, ideally just we have the video I can reupload somewhere for historical purposes would be nice :)

[wesleytodd]

Ok, that sounds fine then! Maybe then any viewers today can just join the meeting link?

[dougwilson]

Also something to keep in mind:

Your Zoom Basic plan has a 40-minute time limit on meetings with 3 or more participants.
Upgrade now to enjoy unlimited group meetings

I think it is just waiting on you to start the meeting, right?

@wesleytodd, for some reason if I go directly to that link there is "no page found" and I'm redirected to "https://pkgjs.github.io/?__path=%2Fstatusboard%2Fprojects"

I can however go to the statusboard page and click the "projects" tab at the top to get to the page.

Yeah it is a work in progress. I thought I had fixed that issue, but it takes a few minutes for github pages to catch up, so maybe the last push I did broke it. I will be working out the kinks over the next week or so. This particular issue is because GH pages does not natively support SPA's, so I have to hack the 404 page 🤷‍♂

[wesleytodd]

Ok, I fixed things up a bit and deployed it to the express org: https://expressjs.github.io/statusboard/projects

[wesleytodd]

Forgot to post this link, here is a link to where to join the node js slack channel: https://node-js.slack.com/

[wesleytodd]

Oops, that is the channel itself, here is the signup page: http://www.nodeslackers.com/

[wesleytodd]

Hey @dougwilson, I put a "Top Priority" label on the two in the express org, but it looks like I do not have permissions in pillarjs or jshttp. Can you grant me whatever permissions I need there?

Also, are we good with this label? Color? name?

[wesleytodd]

I followed up with @jorydotcom about using the Open JSF Zoom account for our next meeting. Seems like that might work, but we will need to connect on the details.

Also, if we wanted to we might be able to use their slack because it is owned by the foundation, and the nodejs slack is owned by a person (not sure who).

[Emuentes]

Thanks for working on sorting out those details @wesleytodd

LMK if there is anything I can do to help.

[Emuentes]

The link to their slack is under the slack header on this page:
https://openjsf.org/collaboration/

This is the link to get an invitation to that slack group https://communityinviter.com/apps/js-foundation/join-openjs-foundation-on-slack

[wesleytodd]

@Emuentes There was a meeting yesterday that discussed "infrastrucutre" which the OpenJSF will provide, and I think utilizing their slack is a good idea since it is "more official".

[jorydotcom]

just popping in to say hi 👋
Let me know if you want a #express channel in the openjsf slack or something!

[Emuentes]

Sounds good @wesleytodd! I appreciate the update.

Howdy @jorydotcom!
