## Minutes

### meta: updated messaging regarding dates [#141](https://github.com/nodejs/LTS/pull/141)

All: No objections


### Clarify what happens with odd-numbered releases in April [#128](https://github.com/nodejs/LTS/pull/128)

- Myles: I’m not sure we need to declare a support statement at all, we
definitely don’t want to call it maintenance, that conflates it with LTS
maintenance mode, which is different.
- Sam: if we describe odd-numbered as stable then do we need maintenance?
- Myles: we shouldn’t call odd-numbered releases stable, they are current
because they don’t have a support process.
- Myles: We could say: “After the next Current release line comes out, there
will be no more scheduled releases. Further releases will be agreed on a
case-by-case basis.”
- All: agreed
- Myles: I think the bigger issue is that we are inconsistent about how stable
current is, and whether it’s recommended for more general use.
- Myles to raise CTC issue

Are you talking about this line (Myles to raise CTC issue) or

Myles: We could say: “After the next Current release line comes out, there will be no more scheduled releases. Further releases will be agreed on a case-by-case basis.”

?

The CTC issue is a more general question about whether we recommend people use Current releases.

If you want to change what it says that Myles said on L45, then feel free to just edit this PR!

### meta: charter the LTS Working Group [nodejs/CTC#122](https://github.com/nodejs/CTC/pull/122)

- Myles: I think the release team should include the LTS team, and a team of
people who do releases.
- Myles: Also the current Release WG should have meetings, even infrequent
ones, that would help us stay on top of our release process.
- Michael: I think it’s still good to have a `releasers` team under the
proposed Release WG that actually handles the release process, so that we
can have a wider Release team that aren’t required to all have release
access.
- Jeremiah: Yeah, there probably will be a lot of overlap between what the
current Release and LTS teams talk about.
- Jeremiah: If we do this, then the Release team might not all need to have the
responsibility to do releases.
- Myles: So maybe the rule should be that to add someone to the releasers team
requires signoff from the CTC.
- Michael: We need to make sure the other Release team members are on board.
- Michael to write up a first draft of the proposal, Myles can review before
the issue is created.
