Tool to create artifacts for node.js team meetings

Uses the Foundation calendar to find the next instance of the meeting, and then creates an issue and matching google doc for minutes. The key thing is that it automatically creates the issue in github and the doc in google docs as opposed to just creating the content.

Re-uses make-node-meeting for much of the content generation.

The hardest part to get going is doing the google auth setup as described in: https://github.com/mhdawson/google-auth-wrapper.

Basic documentation for each of the templates lives in TEMPLATES_DOCUMENTATION.md

Currently I'm testing out for generation of the Node.js TSC meetings.

NOTE: The following must be commented out of make-node-meeting

echo -n "Previous Meeting Minutes Google Docs URL: "
read prev_doc_url
echo -n "This Meeting Minutes Google Docs URL: "
read curr_doc_url

create-node-meeting-artifacts's Issues

use ESM

i propose to modernize this codebase. To accomplish that I propose to use ESM import export.

FYI - change primary branch to main

Updated 10 March, will close this issue after a week if we see no issues.

Also updated automation that uses it to use main branch.

TODO: remove hard coding of TSC

Use parameter as opposed to hard coding TSC.

Create hangouts using youtube live API

Investigate if we can automatically create the hangout for WGs that use them. Potentially can be done through https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/live/getting-started

Contributing: How to PR on template-related matters

There are a two types of template-related matters:

1. Subtle stylistic/notation things — like *Extracted… being meant as a bullet can sometimes trip the linter to think *Extracted…accidentally* in italics.

2. Additional things that can help improve the overall proess — like adding the following to help close the respective PRs and issues more organically:

<!-- 

Once done editing, you can export, clean up markdown and open PR — use this link:

$MINUTES_DOC$/export?format=txt

-->

Questions

1. If someone wanted to make changes, how do they safely make them so that all templates are properly updated and standardized? Please see above link for context.

2. Would those two suggestions be something that folks here want me to do per the answer for question 1? Glad to do it.

Thanks 😄

The website zoom link displays an error. Can a new one be provided?

Release WG meeting issues are not being created

For the last two Release WG meetings (11 Jan 2024 and 14 Dec 2023[1]) the expected issues in https://github.com/nodejs/Release have not been created. It looks like meeting issues are still being created for the other working groups/teams so it would be good to understand/resolve why the process isn't working for the Release WG.

[1] Note nodejs/Release#971 exists but I had to ask @mhdawson to generate it.

Possibility to merge / exchange features

https://github.com/naugtur/wg-meeting-cli is my tool for meeting setup automation.

No integration with google services there, but got the scaffolding for an ok user experience in terminal done.

I'll look into yours and come back here with ideas on what we could do.

investigate CodiMD for meeting doc collaboration

Currently, we use Google Docs for real-time collaboration during meetings (agenda, attendees, minutes, etc.)

This is awkward, because Google Docs does not support Markdown, which we use for these documents.

CodiMD is an open-source project which allows real-time, collaborative editing of Markdown documents. The feature list is pretty extensive.

We (me or someone else) should investigate CodiMD and see if it can better serve our purposes. Essentially, I think the main requirement (besides the whole real-time collaboration thing) is that we are able to automate the creation of the doc (which is one of the purposes of this repo!).

hackmd.io is also an option; this is a paid/free offering running (roughly?) the same codebase. Maybe easier to think of HackMD as a "public instance" of CodiMD. Anyway, I couldn't figure out how to actually pay them for anything, or what it costs, but it may be as simple as just asking for a subdomain.

TODO: use template for issue

Currently uses make-node-meeting for content of github issue.

Would be better if a template was used. Extract the part which creates the time from make-node-meeting and use templates instead for the issue generation.

Change default HOST

Default host is Node.js Foundation which no longer exists. Believe this needs a change in one of the lower level dependencies.

Create Mentorship meeting automation

In Mentorship Program Administrative Tasks #95, I took the action item to setup create-node-meeting-artifacts for mentorship-agenda.
