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.

Per nodejs/loaders#119 (comment) I’ve added nodejs/node#44710 to the agenda. It can come back off if we resolve it async, but I just wanted to bring TSC visibility to this comment: nodejs/node#44710 (comment). Basically, @JakobJingleheimer is blocked on a V8 error that he can’t seem to get to go away, and needs help resolving it.

This PR is somewhat important as it’s the last one before the Loaders API can go stable.

Also re that PR, @mcollina if you haven’t seen it: nodejs/loaders#118 (comment). The plan is to land this PR in a way that doesn’t spawn new threads unless --loader is passed by the user. I don’t think the block on the PR is needed, and I wonder if it might be discouraging others from helping work on it.
