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.

This week the meeting conflicts with the package maintenance meeting due to our rotating times. Looking at the agenda I don't think there is anything new/urgent so I suggest cancelling for this week.

[mhdawson]

On a different topic, I'm out next week so am looking for a volunteer who can chair the meeting on Aug 19 at 5 ET. @mmarchini I know you handle the meetings the last time I was out, any chance you are interested in doing the one on the 19th ?

[mhdawson]

I don't see any objections so I'm going to cancel for this week.

@gireeshpunathil since I've not heard back from Mary I'm wondering if you might be able to chair the meeting next week

[gireeshpunathil]

@mhdawson - is it coming on the third time slot? 5 PM EDT/9PM UTC? That is 2.30 AM IST and will be impossible for me. For the first (and second) I am fine to chair.

[mhdawson]

@nodejs/tsc I've tried the people who are usually available to chair and I've not found anybody yet. I'm pretty much done so I don't think I'll find somebody before I'm off on holiidy.

I'm going to cancel the meeting for next week. If there is a volunteer just re-add to the public calendar and the issue will be generated.

[Trott]

I'm going to cancel the meeting for next week. If there is a volunteer just re-add to the public calendar and the issue will be generated.

If there's anything important or time-sensitive (which I'm not saying there is!), another option would be to change the meeting time for this next week only.
