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.

We ended up having an informal meeting and not streaming. In retrospect we probably should have streamed but at the start we were not sure we were going to discuss too much.
