Public participation

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.

[mcollina]

I'm happy to chair this meeting. However given the looming holiday season I'd ask if we should cancel.

[mhdawson]

@mcollina thanks for chairing :)

[richardlau]

I have no objections to cancelling.

[gireeshpunathil]

+1 on cancelling

[cjihrig]

Cancelling until next year sounds great.

There is one more blocked user but I am unable to provide a link because of a HTTP code 500 error from GitHub. Other moderation team folks report the same issue.

Cancelling until next year sounds great.

That makes sense to me. I should have mentioned that I won't make the 29th so would need a chair for that one if we were going to hold it.

[mcollina]

+1 to cancel until next year

[mhdawson]

I'll cancel for this week and unless I hear objection before Thursday I'll cancel/remove the meeting for next week as well.
