Enterprise Advisory Group

[jasnell]

@dshaw and I have been working to pull together a group of Enterprise Node.js adopters into a formal group chartered under the Community Committee for the specific purpose of providing enterprise adopters a channel through which they can provide feedback to the core project around priorities, pain points, etc. The idea is for this group specifically to represent companies that have adopted Node.js, regardless of whether they are paying members of the Foundation or not. The group had it's first meeting today and will be working on pulling together a draft charter proposal for the @nodejs/community-committee to review. I will be participating in the group as a liaison, ensure that the group has an open communications channel with the TSC. This channel will be bidirectional, with me briefing the group on the current status and directions that core is going, and me providing the TSC with the feedback from the advisory group.

I will provide more detail and background and answer any questions the @nodejs/tsc members may have about this group on the next TSC call. As such, I'm tagging this issue tsc-agenda so that it's added.

Airbnb would love to participate in/be represented by this group.

Minutes for the first meeting here: nodejs/user-feedback#18

@ljharb ... excellent, I'll add you to the list.

I would have liked the opportunity to have attended the first meeting. I had heard something was in the works but did not see any public invite or details ?

@jasnell I'd like to ask why this was not surfaced publicly to the CommComm before or at the same time as being surfaced to the TSC, since you're going to be proposing it as a CommComm initiative. Similarly to what @mhdawson said, I didn't see any public invitation or details of the meeting anywhere - and I know of several individuals that would likely have wanted to participate.

Putting it back on the TSC agenda because we ran out of time while talking about it. Won't be able to pick it up again until a January meeting though, because James won't be at any of the remaining December meetings. Good conversation so far, though.

I'd like to request to observe in the meeting in which this is discussed. Is that a possibility?

[fhinkel]

@bnb I think that makes sense! AFAIK we'll talk about that in January when @jasnell is back.

[mhdawson]

Agreed, we'll make sure to invite you as an observer.
