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.

For awareness, these loaders issues/PRs are open for feedback:

• Hooks thread direction loaders#201: Discussion around where to go from here re the current hooks; it looks like we want option 3, to move them back on-thread
• doc: add synchronous hooks proposal loaders#198: Joyee’s design doc for on-thread hooks for the purpose of sunsetting CommonJS monkey-patching
• Proposal: Moving hooks on thread loaders#205: Follow-up proposal building on Joyee’s for on-thread hooks to sunset the current off-thread hooks
• Maintaining hook module registration for on-thread hooks loaders#203: Question about whether or how registered hooks should be inherited into worker threads
