As a Swede, american time zones are very confusing and I would appreciate it if someone could confirm that this would be the time of the meeting in UTC.

Wednesday, 9 March 2016, 23:30:00 UTC

Thanks 👋

[dougwilson]

Oops, sorry, @LinusU :) http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?x=0&y=0&i=2016-03-09T18:30:00-0500+in+local+time

[LinusU]

No problem, thank you!

[jasnell]

Let's also have @ritch join as an observer.

Before we do that, can we come up with a specific set of criteria to determine who should be an observer vs the general public? My thought was any active collaborators can be observers, otherwise they are a member of the public and not an observer. Thoughts?

[jasnell]

@ritch has been actively involved with the discussions around this since the beginning and has been on every call thus far. He'll need to decide on what level of continued personal involvement he wants but at least extending the invite to participate as an observer would be appropriate IMHO given the history. Also, at this point, there's likely more benefit in being more inclusive than exclusive and I don't believe there should be any particular rush to locking things down too much. In any case, it's just a suggestion, it's up to the TC to decide on what the criteria should be.

[dougwilson]

Hey @jasnell, sorry if I came off wrong, but I'm actually trying to be more transparent here and more open, that's why I was saying to come up with criteria. The definitions of collaborator was in the contribution document everyone agreed to accept, and there are a bunch of people who would love to be in this meeting, but my understanding is that there is limited space. If there is no space limit, there are a lot of people I would like to add now, who have been actively discussing issues in Gitter, on the repositories, have pull requests in flight, etc.

If I cannot add all those people and we have to choose, we need to have a transparent policy for how we are making the choices of how is an observer vs who is not. I did not add @ritch by default because I have not seem him participating in any of the technical discussions in the Express.js repositories, have not seen him on Gitter, etc. but there are lot of people that are.

Should I go ahead and add @ritch and a few other people to the observers, or should be come up with a transparent method to choose who should or should not be invited as an observer?

[jasnell]

Leaving it up to the TC to decide is the right approach, especially if it's based on concrete contributions and if there is a long list of others who could also be added. So I'm good with this approach. Carry on, don't mind me ;-).

Oh, one thing to add to the agenda: I have an update on the expressjs.com question. Should be quick.

[dougwilson]

For now, while we decide, I will go ahead and just include a couple people, and if we need to cut it down, we can come up with a fair way to make the decision.

I'll add @sjanuary, @gabeio, and @ritch as invited observers for this one :)

[mikeal]

I think this blows out the hangouts limits :(

[gabeio]

I have work 15 minutes after meeting beginning. 😢 Thanks for the invite to be an observer, I will definitely join next time!

Depending on how long the meeting is, I might be able to join late.

[niftylettuce]

Will try to attend. I've been reading all the messages with the new TC stuff though. Been busy like everyone 😄

[Fishrock123]

I may not be able to make it today.

[dougwilson]

As an update, I know there are not links yet; I'm trying to get the prereqs setup on my Gmail account needed to do a Hangout on Air right now.

[jasnell]

If it helps I can set one up really quick

[mikeal]

We might be over the hangout limit, do we want to use my uberconference line?

[jasnell]

That works also

[wesleytodd]

I was trying to make it but when it rains in austin the traffic get bad. So you can take me off the list to free up a space for someone else.

[mikeal]

@Fishrock123 would love to have you on in order to live stream the uberconf call :)

[wesleytodd]

Since I barely made it for the end I was unable to stream it. When i joined, @mikeal, it said it is being recorded by you, is there a place we can watch the recording?

[cdnadmin]

Recording please 😃 ...when y'all get a chance. Thx in advance.

[aoberoi]

👍 on the recording :)

[sjanuary]

Thanks for the invite @dougwilson, sorry I wasn't around yesterday to let you know I couldn't make it - I was away for a funeral. Generally the timing is going to be a problem for me as I'm in the UK and have kids that wake up early etc, so I'll just keep watching the recordings for now and someone else can have the slot if they're limited.

[gireeshpunathil]

meeting happened long back, closing. Please re-open if anything is outstanding here.
