The agenda comes from issues labelled with build-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.

Joining the meeting

• link for participants: https://zoom.us/j/715960833
• For those who just want to watch: 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.

I did ask Michael to move this back to original time but forgot about north america changing the clocks earlier than us - would moving it an hour later make it easier for you to attend @rvagg?

[rvagg]

yes, an hour later is a bit easier for me (if I remember and if that time is still accurate given the DST shifts currently occurring!)

[AshCripps]

In that case is everyone else happy with moving the meeting an hour later today? @nodejs/build

[richardlau]

In that case is everyone else happy with moving the meeting an hour later today? @nodejs/build

I'm fine either way.

[richardlau]

I can give an update on the status of

• Install Python 3 everywhere in CI #2507
• Remove explicit setting of PYTHON in CI jobs #2576

[jbergstroem]

To be clear: the time in the issue is the updated time?

[mhdawson]

hour later works for me.

[mhdawson]

@jbergstroem I don't think the issue is updated. My understand is that we are moving to 5 ET.

[AshCripps]

Yep 5ET ill update the table now

[jbergstroem]

Ok, I will have to pass then - I have a conflict. From my end:

• work tangential to Joyent Public Cloud shutting down #1827 , ansible: update Joyent hosted IP addresses #2568
• reviewing grafana output to correlate with our issues with www timing out
• (upcoming) pass on knowledge related to backup/metrics machines to @AshCripps

[rvagg]

@jbergstroem for future reference, is the earlier slot going to be more likely possible for you than this later one?
