+* Chris: fixing race conditions in the REPL, poking at adding Ctrl-R history searching to readline
+* Domenic: working with V8 team in Munich, working on v8-extras feature, putting large portions of things into snapshot to speed up startup and other things: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/v8-users/D6FmTwlvCgk
+* Jeremiah: issue management, working on tooling for automatic dependency upgrades, see [#1688](https://github.com/iojs/io.js/pull/1688)
+* Mikeal: Foundation stuff, getting ducks in a row
+* Shigeki: holiday in JP, fix TLS bug involving edge-case, needs review

+* Rod: Been doing lots of little things, working on the CI and build cluster
+
+### Review of last meeting
+
+* Release Proposal: v2.0.0 [#1532](https://github.com/iojs/io.js/pull/1532)
+* Forward-port from v1.x [#1559](https://github.com/iojs/io.js/pull/1559)
+* Convergence plan (https://github.com/jasnell/dev-policy/pull/66)
+* Combined node.js/io.js TC/core call [#1413](https://github.com/iojs/io.js/issues/1413)
+
+## Minutes
+
+* Discussed creating a more formal deprecation policy, chris to open an issue.
+
+### V8 4.4 to remove indexed properties via external data [#1451](https://github.com/iojs/io.js/issues/1451)
+
+* ‘smalloc’ has to go away when we land this V8, thankfully it’s not been around for long but this is a forced deprecation & removal.
+* currently usage of ‘smalloc’ gives a deprecation warning, as of v2.0.0
+* @jeisinger has been backporting some APIs needed for Buffer, NAN will have to catch up but @kkoopa is involved
+* Domenic: V8 4.3 will be next week, 7 weeks from now will be 4.4 (~1 week behind Chrome release)
+* Trevor: no major problems with JS API, most problems will be in the C++ API, should be able to shim to ease it
+
+### NODE_PATH deprecation [#1627](https://github.com/iojs/io.js/issues/1627)
+
+* Jeremiah: there was a suggestion to deprecate NODE_PATH entirely, debate is over deprecation or not, lots of people appear to be finding novel uses of it.
+* Domenic: maybe we should document it
+* Chris: it is documented, Googling shows that it’s been ingrained into the Node background, there’s lots of info out there about how it’s used
+* Domenic: https://iojs.org/api/modules.html#modules_loading_from_the_global_folders
+* Mikeal: maybe write docs about how it exists but you shouldn’t use it
+
+**Action: Mikeal to open an issue to change the docs to talk about how you probably shouldn’t use them** (note: it might be as simple as styling!)
+
+### Join the Node Foundation? [#1664](https://github.com/iojs/io.js/issues/1664)
+
+* Mikeal: Mostly a consensus in the issue about joining
+* Mikeal: Next step is to move the “iojs” org to “nodejs”, then move the convergence repo in to be “node” to be the new tip: https://github.com/jasnell/node.js-convergence
+
+Lots of discussions about process and what needs to happen & when, Mikeal pushing for a vote to get the org moved.
+
+**Voting Question**: The io.js TC agrees to:
+ 1. have the io.js project join the Node Foundation
+ 2. rename the entire “iojs” GitHub org to be “nodejs”
+ 3. invite the the current Node.js TC on to our TC to form the basis of a Node Foundation TSC under the policies of the Node Foundation
+ 4. moving the io.js Working Groups to be under the Node Foundation
+
+**Voting Results**:
+
+* Fedor: 0
+* Ben: +1
+* Bert: +1
+* Chris: +1
+* Jeremiah: +1
+* Trevor: +1
+* Rod: +1
+
+Action: Mikeal to make the move happen in a coordinated way so we get redirects and whatnot
+
+### Put `*Sync` methods behind a flag in some future major version [#1665](https://github.com/iojs/io.js/issues/1665)
+
+* Ben: some people feel that `fs.*Sync()` methods are harmful and would like to see them go away and be behind a flag
+* Bert: don’t agree with deprecating but agree with a flag
+* Rod: agree with Bert, but would like to see doc changes
+* Trevor: working on a flag to print a stack trace
+
+### TC Nominations
+
+* Shigeki Ohtsu @shigeki [#1501](https://github.com/iojs/io.js/issues/1501)
+* Brian White @mscdex [#1500](https://github.com/iojs/io.js/issues/1500)
+* @mikeal [#1481](https://github.com/iojs/io.js/issues/1481)
+
+* Mikeal: joining
+* Rod: timing is awkward with convergence but I’d like to make sure that Shigeki and Brian have a path to join the TC and not have that delayed too much
+
+### Public QA via #io.js channel on Freenode
+
+* `<therebelrobot> After the converged release, will io.js/node still be semver? for example, the history would be node 0.10, 0.12, iojs 1.x 2.x then the converged one would be node 3.x?`
+ - Mikeal: the dev policy says so, there’s nobody advocating not to
+* `<evanlucas> Are there plans to symlink node to iojs in the installers after the first converged release?`
+ - Bert: undecided. We should figure out a way to allow users to “node lts” and “node bleeding edge” side by side.
+ - Mikeal: part of the above is covered by a thread in NG about localizing the node installation to global modules.
+* `<phpnode> will members of the core team be able to revive io.js if they disagree with the direction of the project in future`
+ - (Group) Yes
+* `<skinan5> any plans for nan resolution?`
+ - Rod: it’s just a header file and you need it for older versions of Node so it doesn’t make sense to _not_ use it from npm
+ - Ben: current NAN isn’t suitable for bringing in
+ - Trevor: would support bringing in something that would provide proper ABI support
+ - Action: Trevor to open an issue on the NAN repo to talk about a stable C++ layer
+
+## Next meeting
+
+* May 20th, invite joyent/node TC members, figure out who that is and if this timeslot works for them when we have a combined call tomorrow (14th)
