5/28 meeting, JSConf edition

[nebrius]

It's time for our next meeting. Many, if not most, of the people interested in participating are at JSConf right now, so let's do this in person!

Tomorrow (5/28) is the JavaScript IRL day, so let's host this meeting after we're done cleaning up, should be around 6:30 EDT or so.

Is there anyone who wants to participate but isn't at the conference?

[nebrius]

I propose the following high-level agenda:

• Introductions
• Follow up on individual action items from the previous meeting
• Discussion of new topics
• Creation and delegation of action items to individuals

[dtex]

I'm in

[graysonarts]

I'm interested in participating, but I'm not at the conference and will be without internet tomorrow. Is it possible there will be a recording of this meeting also?

[nebrius]

@RussTheAerialist yes there will be a recording!

I'm thinking that we can do a Google Hangout if there are remote people who want to join, or we can just use iMovie or something else offline if it's just JSConf folks.

[sandeepmistry]

I'm in!

[nebrius]

@sandeepmistry you're at JSConf, right? (I think we met last night)

[Resseguie]

I'm in, too.

[sandeepmistry]

@bryan-m-hughes yes, I'm at JSConf!

[jacobrosenthal]

Ill be there.

[jkleinsc]

Is this open to anyone at JSConf?

[nebrius]

@jkleinsc sure, stop on by!

[nebrius]

It doesn't look like there is anyone not at JSConf attending, so let's hold this by the pool! I'll update here once it's close to time for the meeting to start

[nodebotanist]

I'll be there.

[nebrius]

Hey everyone, we're starting at 6:15 in the upper area by the pool. Feel free to grab a nice beach beverage and chill for a bit beforehand!

[nebrius]

We're at a table by right by the main door to the lobby. Starting very soon!

[nebrius]

Here's the recording from the event: http://youtu.be/kGvogHbndlw. Apologies if the audio isn't great, there was a lot of background noise.

[reconbot]

It was great

[dtex]

I dove in on my action item, but after reviewing the LIBUV code I'm not sure I can get up to speed quickly enough and I don't want us to possibly miss a release down the road. I'm going to keep ramping up on that code base, but I've asked @voodootikigod if he could contact them to keep this moving forward.

[dtex]

Are we converting action items from this meeting to github issues?

[dtex]

I did find this which says "LIBUV won't and can't do that":

https://github.com/libuv/libuv/issues/333

[nebrius]

@dtex 😥 welp...

We can talk about this more at the next meeting, but perhaps our course of action should be higher level, e.g. getting node-serialport into core.

Is anyone else going to be at NodeConf Adventure? I'll be there, and I'm hoping to get a chance to chat with some of the libuv folks.

BTW, I think that's a great idea about opening issues for action items! Let's all do that.

[dtex]

I'll be at NodeConf Adventure

[jacobrosenthal]

That doesnt seem cut and dry to me. Wont and cant why.

@jacobrosenthal I'm curious too

I created https://github.com/nodejs/hardware/issues/9 for my action item.

I'm going to go ahead and close this issue since we already had the meeting. Thanks everyone for pitching in!

[nebrius]

BTW, so node-ffi already has async capabilities! What's more, efforts are already underway to get it into node core: https://github.com/nodejs/io.js/labels/ffi

This far-fetched idea is starting to look really promising. I'm going to switch Raspi-IO over to using it to see how things go and document the process. https://github.com/nodejs/hardware/issues/11
