Agenda discussion:

Almost nothing have happened on the async_wrap front (documentation was updated). But I think we can move a lot with the trace_event.h story, we have a very specific usecase (GC metrics - see nodejs/node#4496) and trace event has finally landed in v8 4.9 (see #30 (comment)).

@nodejs/tracing Happy 2016, Tracing Work Group members!

I believe I've got everything set up for the next meeting.

Add your availability to the doodle linked above. The doodle covers week days 1/18 - 1/29, 11am to 8pm eastern.

Once we've settled on a date, I'll update the relevant bits.

I think you can subscribe/join the Hangout on Air event (link in first comment), and add to your calendar; the date for the event is currently set for 11/29 8pm, but I'll change it to the actual date when settled.

@pmuellr: Can I join this hangout as well? I am not a working group member, but I am very interested in the trace-event story.

btw.: How does one become a working group member? Is there any document on how this works?

[pmuellr]

Great question @bripkens !!

The only real constraint on joining the hangout is leaving room for folks we expect to be joining. The way I set the Hangout on Air up, 15 people should be able to be on at the same time. The recent meetings certainly had room for a few more people. Worse case is asking folks who just want to listen, to watch the slightly delayed (1 min, I think) YouTube movie.

re: joining the WG. The only real artifacts behind the WG are the nodejs "Tracing" team and this repo. I believe you can request to join yourself (hopefully on that page). I don't know what the rules are re: joining.

The team is currently just used as a reference in comments like the one I made above, to notify folks about things. You could also "Watch" this repo to the same effect.

Perfect, I'll try to be there.

I am not a member of the nodejs organization so I cannot do that.

Thanks for explaining @pmuellr :)

[pmuellr]

For future reference, there appear to be some "official" rules re: becoming a Node.js collaborator here:

• https://nodejs.org/en/get-involved/development/#collaborators

There are no "rules" for this WG regarding watching the meetings, access to the repo, etc though, for folks who are not collaborators, at this point.

[AndreasMadsen]

Added to agenda:

• Status update on: #3504 – async_wrap: make native API public

edit: I've updated the agenda to reflect the recent discussion in nodejs/node#3504

[pmuellr]

According to Doodle, we had all 12 folks line up for one time:

• Tuesday January 26 2016 at 2:00pm Eastern

See the top comment for a link to the world time converter for this meeting. The Hangout on Air event has been updated, so I think you can "subscribe" or "attend" or something to get it auto-added to your Google Calendar (if you have one).

Talk to you then!

Unfortunately I will no longer be able attend the meeting on the 26th.

[pmuellr]

Ah, too bad. I was hoping to get an update on V8 trace_event. Will Matthew be able to make it, cover that, or is there anything you could add about it here?

[matthewloring]

I will have to miss the meeting for the same reason as Ali actually, sorry for the later notice!

[Qard]

I expect a bunch of us may not be there. (The error summit?)

[pmuellr]

So, shall we cancel this, do another doodle, maybe from Feb 1 - Feb 12 (M-F for two weeks)?

[watson]

@Qard The error summit??
@pmuellr Is the meeting is still on for tomorrow or did we cancel?
