+# Node.js LTS team meeting of 06/18/2015
+
+## Participants
+
+* Joao Reis
+* Julien Gilli
+* Michael Dawson
+* Steven Loomis
+
+## Discussions
+
+### Upcoming releases
+
+#### node v0.10.39
+
+Julien: What's left to do: I suggest to revert
+https://github.com/joyent/node/pull/25511.
+
+Michael: We have another security release with logjam fixes scheduled for
+v0.12, so that's ok with me to move that until next couple of v0.10/v0.12
+releases.
+
+Julien: I might have time to start the release process for v0.10.29 today.
+Once v0.10 is released, I can move on to releasing v0.12.5.
+
+#### node v0.12.5
+
+Julien: We have [a PR to upgrade npm to
+2.11.2](https://github.com/joyent/node/pull/25517). It seems to be a small
+change from the current version, so I would advocate for landing that now.
+
+Michael: Playing devil's advocate: would it delay the OpenSSL upgrade? If so,
+then we could postpone it to 0.12.6. If the risk is low, and it's fairly quick
+to land it, I'm ok with that.
+
+Julien: Breaking changes for v0.12: the OpenSSL upgrade prevents TLS clients
+to connect to servers that use DH params with keys that are too short to be
+safe.
+
+Michael: Yes, and deferring the change to prevent servers to use shorter keys
+until next release.
+
+### Moving this weekly call to the LTS WG call
+
+Julien: We have [a new
+doodle](https://github.com/nodejs/LTS/issues/6#issuecomment-112976451) to try
+to come up with the best time slot to have these meetings, please fill it out
+if you haven't yet.
+
+### Having more than one person managing releases
+
+Julien: having only one person who manage releases is not sustainable, I would
+like to have a team of release managers for v0.10.x and v0.12.x releases, and
+future LTS releases.
+
+Julien: I've made some good progress on documenting the release process and
+improving some of the build scripts and Jenkins jobs to make them usable by
+other people than me. Hopefully that will be ready not too long from now.
+
+Julien: In the meantime, I'd like to raise that to the broader LTS group and
+see who would be interested in being a release manager.
+
+Steven: I have some experience with releases in the ICU project and other open
+source projects, so I can definitely help, even to review and give feedback on
+the release process.
+
+Julien: I'll create an issue in nodejs/LTS to gather initial feedback and see
+who could be interested.
+
+### Deprecation of shorter keys in DH param server side
+
+Michael: The OpenSSL upgrade to 1.0.1o prevents clients from connecting to
+servers using DH parameters that have a key that is too small to be safe. We
+should deprecate passing DH params that are unsafe when creating TLS servers
+too. I suggested [some changes to do that on
+GitHub](https://github.com/joyent/node/issues/25509#issuecomment-112596586),
+could you please provide feedback on these changes?
+
+### Transition from v0.12 to next converged LTS release
+
+Michael: Julien started documenting breaking changes between v0.12.x and
+what's currently in the converged repository. Julien, is there any way we can help?
+
+Julien: Documenting the changes is really the first step. What I need from you
+and other members of the LTS working group is to review this list and give
+feedback. Once we're confident that we have an accurate list of breaking
+changes, the next step is to reach out to various user communities and
+determine what we need to do to make the transition as smooth as possible.
+
+Michael: It seems that there were some productive discussions during Nodeconf
+about requirements from users regarding LTS releases.
+
+Julien: Yes, and there are other additional ways we can reach out to the
+broader community: leveraging the Node.js Advisory Board, reaching out to
+Joyent's Node.js Incubator participants, the broader community on GitHub, etc.
+We will need some coordination between a lot of entities within the Node.js
+project.
+
+Michael: I would suggest reaching out to nan maintainers to identify V8
+breaking changes that would be handled by nan.
+
+Julien: Sounds like a good idea!
+
+Michael: Maybe instead of commenting in an existing issue, Julien could create
+new issue on GitHub to get more attention with all details that he
+mentioned.
+
+Julien: agreed.
+
+Julien: One other thing that I'd like to use to make the transition even
+smoother is release candidates. I had started some work around that a while
+ago and unfortunately I haven't had the time to continue working on it. I
+think that Rod Vagg did some work around that for io.js and it might be ready
+there. Anyway, having release candidates for the next cycle of LTS releases
+would probably make things easier.
+
+Michael: Definitely, this is a broader topic for the LTS working group that we
+should probably even consider separately.
