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.

[maclover7]

@MylesBorins Are you available to attend the meeting next week, bunch of issues with release stuff are on the agenda, and also use of Docker/containers in CI

[refack]

/CC @danbev @LucaLanziani @amiller-gh @mmarchini (and @juggernaut451) y'all are invited to observe and/or introduce yourselves.

[mhdawson]

In respect to @refack's comment, I'd suggest joining the zoom meeting so you can talk/discuss. I think we'll want to spend some part of the meeting talking about how to get you started.

[Trott]

And for the new-ish folks: The Build WG has a practice of using 👍 and 👎 reactions on the initial post in a meeting issue like this one to indicate likely-to-attend-this-one and not-likely-to-be-able-to-attend respectively. (So, my 👎 above is "I probably can't make it this time", not a thumbs-down on having a meeting or anything like that.)

[LucaLanziani]

@mhdawson would it make sense for me/us to join the mentoring program that is starting here https://github.com/nodejs/mentorship ?

[refack]

would it make sense for me/us to join the mentoring program that is starting here nodejs/mentorship ?

As as mentor or mentee?
AFAIK the mentorship program is still in it's very early stages and there is still noone from this WG available as mentor. We do customarily onboard new members with the specifics on this WG. There are sporadic docs around the repo such as this one.

[LucaLanziani]

As as mentor or mentee?

I was thinking as mentee, but you already answered me with "there is still noone from this WG available as mentor".

[gdams]

@LucaLanziani I have just become a mentor for the build WG! :D

[joyeecheung]

I added #1331 for more insights into how to structure the build subteams. The agenda is pretty packed but this probably should not take too much time to discuss.

[rvagg]

I'll try and make it, 6am for me so it'll depend on how well I sleep

[jbergstroem]

I was in contact with @maclover7 over email about my participation and will join this build meeting.

[rvagg]

doh! sorry, I set my alarm for 6.45 .. a bit late obviously.

Sorry I wasn't able to attend, the time slot is difficult for me, but I still think it's the best given the overall group availability. I'm still committed to maintaining our Windows machines (don't hesitate to mention me) and also generally helping around when I can.

I've commented on #1277 regarding the Windows Ansible scripts.
