Joining the meeting
We will be using Google Hangouts for this meeting and it will be live streamed via YouTube. Anyone is welcome to watch the stream but please only use the Hangout link below if you are one of the invited participants (due to Hangouts limits, we'd love to make room for everyone!).
If you are viewing the YouTube stream, the meeting is unlikely to start on time, you may have to wait while we organise ourselves and clear any business that we are unable to publicly broadcast (we try to do as little of this as possible but it does come up occasionally).

To make doubly clear, we are using a Hangout for this, not Uberconference, link above. If you have trouble with Hangouts then let me know your number and I'll try a dial-out to your phone.

The latest observers are not invited?
EDIT: Sorry, I went back to the issues and found the PRs nodejs/node#5275, nodejs/node#5276, nodejs/node#5277, and nodejs/node#5278. Aren't those not included in the discussion?
EDIT2: Those are labelled ctc-agenda and not tsc-agenda. Sorry for the noise.

@thefourtheye... This is TSC, not CTC. The latest observers are added to
the CTC calls on Wednesday. Those cover the technical issues. The TSC looks
at more foundation level stuff including the other top level projects,
interacting with foundation board, etc. Technically different things even
tho there's currently lots of overlap in membership.

@jasnell So CTC is purely technical, TSC is technical + managerial?
jasnell commentedon Feb 18, 2016
Essentially. More managerial than technical really.

I think it would have been clearer when the committee split into two new ones to use new names, particularly if the T in TSC doesn't mean "technical", maybe "F(oundation)SC"? Even collaborators are confused!
thefourtheye commentedon Feb 18, 2016
Thanks for clarifying @jasnell :-)
Also +1 to what @sam-github said. TSC and CTC mean almost the same to me.
bnoordhuis commentedon Feb 18, 2016
I'll have to decline today. No strong opinion on the issues on the agenda.
rvagg commentedon Feb 18, 2016
@sam-github I think we all completely agree, however "TSC" is written into the Foundation bylaws as the governing body for everything that happens at this level so we had to use that name for this exercise. Easier than changing things at an official level.
