+
+## Where to put code we are collaborating on 
+
+https://github.com/nodejs/post-mortem/issues/30
+
+We discussed the different options. No objection to products going under
+github/nodejs and this is the first choice from the options, but this
+should be optional.  ie. only when it makes sense for
+the project and the foundation. Some projects will be under github/nodejs
+but others will be external.
+
+Just as important is making sure that people can find all the tools and
+projects that this WG is working on.  First step is to update the readme.md
+to add a section for this with additional links.  Following that we may
+want to brainstorm other ideas of how to get the message out.
+
+ACTIONS: 
+  * Michael to create PR on readme.md that people will comment on to add
+    the links/projects
+  * Michael to capture consensus discussed in issue #30 and then 
+    add to CTC agenda to start discussion to see if we can move
+
+
+## Javascript API to support common extensions between MDB/lldb/IDDE
+
+https://github.com/nodejs/post-mortem/issues/33
+
+* Richard did quick overview of concept.
+* Has done quick prototype.
+* David, sounds cool, but largish effort for mdb. Their path might be
+  to finish common core dump generation file format.  Then have API use
+  that file to implement API.  Other debuggers could then also implement
+  the API directly if they want to.
+  We can then collaborate on the commands using that API.
+  Nice to be able to have 2 bases to develop API one being the common format.
+* Yunong - have we finalized the common format ? not yet.  
+  Is one of the things we need to close one.  
+* There is an issue for the common format. Next is to prototype, 
+  Dave believes he could have that for the next meeting. 
+  Prototype would be command from mdb/v8 which would generate
+  common dump format.  Richard to look at generating common dump
+  format using lldb.
+
+ACTIONS:
+* David plans to have generation of common format with mdb done for
+  next meeting.
+* Richard to look at generating common format with lldb and report
+  back on that.
+* Richard to do initial cut at what API might look like.
+
+## NodeReport as module bundled into Node
+
+Michael's question is if npm for NodeReport should be part
+of the Node distribution?
+
+Mdb was at one point it was bundled with but that ended up being removed.  
+
+There have been tensions over this in the past in npm, 
+with the npm org wanting different consumption
+level than Node team wanted.  
+
+Yunong - list off the tradeoffs on bundling or not bundling.
+
+Take back to github, discussion of pro/cons
+
+How is this different from any other modules
+
+Michael, feel that you should get at least minimal capability with 
+runtime without having to install anything else.  Sometimes need
+legal reviews/ok to add something to production.
+
+Yunong, they might tend towards not bundling as they want
+to fine tune what they use.
+
+Take back to github, discussion of pro/cons
+
+ACTIONS: 
+
+* Michael to open issue for discussion.
+
+## Other issues 
+
+Get together at Node Summit ?  - Monday agreed.
