Next 10 years of Node.js

[mhdawson]

The TSC has discussed holding a summit/sessions on the "Next 10 years of Node.js" in nodejs/TSC#797 with a summary of potential topics in: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1O4qk5iPN9_8ICJbk4svjnUnDoMcZtoUn8pMSkOHcVDk

We had a kickoff at the collaborator summit at OpenJS World 2 weeks ago. Minutes from the discussion are available here:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oBC-l6lTSjKijhwXeJXgBcz4qNPDZlkj4DFKGgWNvV8/edit#heading=h.kfsrb8jml706 along with the recording here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xuk5Rq7q7LM&feature=youtu.be and the attendee list here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lm8xPzoEpayzPaSM5r0KBnryamR3IvRszZdoxC4YJxw/edit

To start we talked about some key technology trends which are important to the success of Node.js going forward and then discussed if the project needed a roadmap. The discussion was trending towards working to have a higher level set of "themes/priorities" versus a specific feature roadmap. We finished up with a discussion around what gets in/small core with discussion exploring different options like a "standard library" which would be in the Node.js org but not necessarily shipped as part of the binary.

I'd like to setup the next follow on for Thursday July 16 at 12EST. I'm posting here to ensure we have visibility/participation beyond the TSC.

Is it possible to participate in the follow-up for those who wasn't present at the kickoff? I'd like to join.

[bnb]

SGTM.

[bnb]

@mhdawson would it be possible to get something on the calendar for this?

[mhdawson]

I had put it on the calendar, but turns out only in my calendar. Changed to be in the Node.js calendar now.

[mhdawson]

@puzpuzpuz definitely. There are going to have to be a number of sessions to cover all of the areas and we need broad participation.

[Qard]

I probably won't make it as I'll be on a family vacation. I assume the session will be recorded for later watching on YouTube?

[ahmadawais]

I'd love to participate as well.

@mhdawson will the script create issues for those meetings? Would be good to have the agenda for each meeting defined prior to the meeting so folks can come prepared for the discussion? Creating issues like we do for WG meetings is also a good idea to estimate how many folks will be joining.

[mhdawson]

@mmarchini I've not got anything like that setup for the first meeting. We should discuss how we want to organize, etc. in the first meeting. For example maybe we want a new repo, standing meeting etc which would make that possible. It's likely a good idea but think we should discuss/get some agreement how we want to work going forward before setting something up.

[bnb]

@mhdawson this may be a good use for Discussions over Issues (you can see an example of Discussions on the Next.js repo, though their usage is significantly more advanced than ours would be). If we want to get that enabled in another repo or in nodejs/node itself and have a category for this content, happy to do the work to make that happen.

[mhdawson]

@bnb maybe you can tell us a bit more about how discussion work in the meeting and we can then decide if its a fit.
