Joining the meeting

• link for participants: https://zoom.us/j/715960833
• For those who just want to watch: 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.

OK, I'll flag that I'll try to attend but I'm not as calendar driven these days and a 10pm entry is not likely to get my attention so this is going to be entirely dependent on my memory and apologies up-front if I'm not there, I'd have forgotten.

[mhdawson]

Sorry this slot is too early for me so I won't be able to make it.

There was only the Red Hat attendees so we had a quick catchup and have some updates:

IRC: @sxa did post a message in the IRC channel saying we wont be using it anymore and theres been no mention from it since.

Build Helper: AWX is up and running I just need to finalise and land the doc PR and then onboard people

Fedora: @richardlau will look into rebuilding the fedora machines later this week

Coverity: @richardlau now has access and has downloaded the tool but is running into some issues of how coverity discovers the GCC binaries (gcc-8 doesnt work)

arm: @sxa has a meeting with equinix later today to discuss getting a smaller machine for our release machine as the current one is very overkill. he also plans to hand back the broken machine to them today as well.
