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.

[Trott]

• doc: deprecate url.parse() #44919

This landed and can be removed from the agenda. (I'll remove it from the minutes doc and edit this issue to remove it as well.)

[GeoffreyBooth]

What’s the decision to be made for nodejs/node#44731?

[Trott]

What’s the decision to be made for nodejs/node#44731?

Our meeting notes from our last meeting say: "on as FYI, discuss in the tracker, please comment in the tracker"

I believe the decision that was asked for at some point was "Can/should we land happy eyeballs in 19.x?" And I believe the answer was "Yes, please." However, there are problems with tests and such. I'm not 100% sure it needs to be on the TSC agenda, but I would prefer it stay and be visible and TSC members actively work to help fix the test issues and anything else blocking it.

I don't think it will be anything to talk about at length during tomorrow's meeting.

I believe the decision that was asked for at some point was "Can/should we land happy eyeballs in 19.x?"

I think the plan was to land it in v18.x before it goes LTS, but yeah that seems unlikely at this point given the state of the PR and there there are no remaining scheduled releases on the v18.x line before it goes LTS. It would need to first land in v19.x, and then it can be backported in the next minor release of v18.x.

[mcollina]

there is no need for it to be on the agenda

[joyeecheung]

Progress on startup performance:

• Landed snapshot support for the DNS module, working on TLS and HTTP(S): dns: support dns module in the snapshot node#44633
• Some progress towards including more stuff into the embedded contexts for vm and worker threads : vm: make ContextifyContext a BaseObject node#44796 bootstrap: merge main thread and worker thread initializations node#44869
