LTS WG Meeting - 2015-11-02 1pm Pacific about lts HOT 7 CLOSED

Agenda-wise: I'd like to have a discussion about what's considered breaking in re npm -- specifically, we'd like to be able to continue to update and maintain features directly related to our server-side changes: Some parts of npm, such as the installer, npm version, etc, either don't interact at all with our servers, or they have significant components that affect users' local experience.

Others, otoh, such as npm dist-tag and npm access, are simply command-line interfaces to server-side features, exclusively. For things like these, I'd like us to consider allowing semver minor-level changes to be included in LTS, since they are essentially and directly connected to the registry, which is a living application, and not something we can just say "oh yeah build on that version of it" for.

Specifically I'd like to discuss nodejs/node#3609. With the long cadence between LTS releases, I'd like to provide feedback on the current LTS release rules, from an enterprise perspective. cc @ofrobots

@rvagg .. yep, forgot about the switch back to standard time... fixing. It should be 9pm UTC http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Node.js%20Foundation%20LTS%20Meeting%202015-11-02&iso=20151102T21

@nodejs/lts ... the plan last week was to have a follow up LTS meeting this afternoon. Unfortunately I have a conflict that I cannot get out of that came up this morning. I believe we need @zkat on the call and I believe she's still in Japan this week. I propose that we go ahead and push to next week.

If possible can we find a time this week. I like to get some closure on:

tls: make server not use DHE in less than 1014 bits #49
