The agenda comes from issues labelled with tsc-agenda across all of the repositories in the nodejs org. Please label any additional issues that should be on the agenda before the meeting starts.

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.

Many of us will be on IRC in #node-dev on Freenode if you'd like to interact, we have a Q/A session scheduled at the end of the meeting if you'd like us to discuss anything in particular. @nodejs/collaborators in particular if there's anything you need from the TSC that's not worth putting on as a separate agenda item, this is a good place for that.

[mhdawson]

• Build resources
  • some discussion in the board meeting last Friday but nothing new to report.

[mhdawson]

@jasnell, @joyeecheung are you going to make the meeting this week, if not I might suggest cancelling as bootstrap: include bootstrapped Environment in builtin snapshot #32984 is the only thing on the agenda.

[jasnell]

If it's the only thing on the agenda I'm good with skipping this one.

[mmarchini]

Would it be better to schedule a one-off meeting among who's interested to discuss the bootstrap issue?

[mcollina]

Promise hooks in V8 might get an extension via nodejs/node#33560. That will enable us to track thenables properly.

+1 to skip the meeting for me

[mcollina]

Is there any private business we should talk about?

[mhdawson]

Since we don't have comments about private business lets cancel for this week.

[targos]

V8 currency:

• V8 8.3 landed on v14.x-staging. It will be in the next release
• Opened PR to update to 8.4: deps: update V8 to 8.4 node#33579

Startup performance:

Relanded https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/v8/v8/+/2198980, working on an update of nodejs/node#33300
