Are we scheduling this as a one off? Just want to make sure I get this in my calendar so I don't forget or think it is just a normal meeting (which if I have work conflicts I usually skip).

@nodejs/nodejs-website FYI, we were thinking this might be something you would be interested in attending.

@sheplu et al -- it would be great to add desired "Outcomes" to the list of bullet points above as it will help us be more focused in scope.

For example, an outcome I would be interested in seeing would be an increase in maintainers.

[wesleytodd]

This is the discussion for planning this right? https://github.com/orgs/nodejs/discussions/51558

[mhdawson]

@wesleytodd the discussion item is build awareness in the collaborator base.

I think this issue is the best place for discussing the planning of the deep dive.

[mhdawson]

@kyliewd if possible it would be great if you can attend this session.

[sheplu]

@mhdawson do we have an easy way to add the schedule in the nodejs agenda?

[mhdawson]

@sheplu do you meanthe Node.js calendar ?

[sheplu]

@nomadtechie updated with some outcomes but if you have a list I can also add it
@mhdawson yes, with a link to the issue / here so people that don't check github would also see it

[rginn]

Please coordinate with @kyliewd and me on timing to participate. We can't make it today.
