• 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.

Lee and I will be attending to discuss nodejs/node#52575

I've been doing work in this area and code integrity is an important concern for us. I'm curious what options we have going forward if this feature is removed.
