We should collect these information in a central place (maybe a document in this repo) and send it out to participants before the event.

Also a FAQ covering things like

I am seeing some unrelated test failures, is that OK?
What does it mean to replace fixturesDir with fixtures?
Which branch should I target?
Reviewers asked me to rebase, what does it mean?
etc.

would be very useful.

FTR I am writing one (and trying to do a screencast on the build & test & git stuff), but I've got my hands pretty full right now so probably won't finish them anytime soon. Anyone willing to do it can take it now.

Ping @nodejs/collaborators: If anyone wants to write something like this up and put it somewhere linkable that would be great. Speaking just for me, a pull request adding a page like this to https://github.com/Trott/nodetodo would be super-duper welcome.

I've created a Boxstarter script for Windows boxes. PR to include it in Node: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/17046
