TSC

Node.js Technical Steering Committee The Node.js Technical Steering Committee (TSC) is the technical governing body of Node.js. It is described in the TSC Charter. TSC scope The TSC is responsible for the Node.js Core project, some projects depended upon by Node.js Core, and several projects adjacent to Node.js Core. The TSC exercises autonomy in managing its responsibilities and seeks agreement from the OpenJS Foundation Board on any change to the scope of those responsibilities as defined below. Node.js Core Node.js Core is defined as the contents of the repository located at https://github.com/nodejs/node from which the node executable and associated packages are built, excluding the vendored projects included in the codebase located in the deps and tools directories that are copied in from externally maintained repositories. Dependent projects Additional projects fall within the TSC's scope of responsibility which are dependencies of Node.js Core in that they are required to plan, test, build, document, and ship Node.js releases. These projects are located in the following repositories: https://github.com/nodejs/TSC https://github.com/nodejs/build — administration delegated to the Build Working Group https://github.com/nodejs/citgm — administration delegated to the Release Working Group https://github.com/nodejs/docker-node — administration delegated to the Docker Working Group https://github.com/nodejs/http-parser — administration delegated to the Core Technical Committee https://github.com/nodejs/node-eps — administration delegated to the Core Technical Committee https://github.com/nodejs/nodejs-dist-indexer — administration delegated to the Build Working Group https://github.com/nodejs/nodejs-latest-linker — administration delegated to the Build Working Group https://github.com/nodejs/nodejs-nightly-builder — administration delegated to the Build Working Group https://github.com/nodejs/nodejs.org — administration delegated to the Website Working Group https://github.com/nodejs/secrets — private, administration delegated to the Build Working Group https://github.com/nodejs/Release — administration delegated to the Release Working Group Adjacent projects The TSC is responsible for several projects that are not strictly required to plan, test, build, document, and ship Node.js releases. Adjacent projects are either created from within the technical organization managed by the TSC or are adopted into that organization from outside. In the case of adopting existing projects, once the TSC has decided that adoption is appropriate, it should seek agreement from the OpenJS Foundation Board for such adoption as it impacts the scope of technical activities of the Foundation. Current adjacent projects that are within the TSC's scope of responsibility include: https://github.com/nodejs/abi-stable-node — administration delegated to the API Working Group https://github.com/nodejs/abi-stable-node-addon-examples — administration delegated to the API Working Group https://github.com/nodejs/api — administration delegated to the API Working Group https://github.com/nodejs/code-and-learn https://github.com/nodejs/diagnostics — administration delegated to the Diagnostics Working Group https://github.com/nodejs/docs https://github.com/nodejs/education https://github.com/nodejs/email — administration delegated to the Build Working Group https://github.com/nodejs/github-bot https://github.com/nodejs/help https://github.com/nodejs/http https://github.com/nodejs/http2 https://github.com/nodejs/installer https://github.com/nodejs/llnode — administration delegated to the Post Mortem Working Group https://github.com/nodejs/nan — administration delegated to the Addon API Working Group https://github.com/nodejs/node-addon-examples — administration delegated to the Addon API Working Group https://github.com/nodejs/node-chakracore https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp https://github.com/nodejs/node-inspect — administration delegated to the Diagnostics Working Group https://github.com/nodejs/node-report — administration delegated to the Post Mortem Working Group https://github.com/nodejs/nodejs.org — administration delegated to the Website Working Group https://github.com/nodejs/post-mortem — administration delegated to the Post Mortem Working Group https://github.com/nodejs/promises https://github.com/nodejs/readable-stream — administration delegated to the Streams Working Group https://github.com/nodejs/summit https://github.com/nodejs/testing And various language and resource translation groups under https://github.com/nodejs/ List of TSC responsibilities The TSC exercises autonomy in setting up and maintaining procedures, policies, and management and administrative structures as it deems appropriate for the maintenance and operation of these projects and resources. Included in the responsibilities of the TSC are: Managing code and documentation creation and changes for the listed projects and resources Setting and maintaining standards covering contributions of code, documentation, and other materials Managing code and binary releases: types, schedules, frequency, delivery mechanisms Making decisions regarding dependencies of the Node.js Core project, including what those dependencies are and how they are bundled with source code and releases Creating new repositories and projects under the nodejs GitHub organization as required Setting overall technical direction for the Node.js Core project, including high-level goals and low-level specifics regarding features and functionality Setting and maintaining appropriate standards for community discourse via the various mediums under TSC control Setting and maintaining governance rules for the conduct and make-up of the TSC, Working Groups and other bodies within the TSC's domain Many of these responsibilities will be delegated by the TSC to appropriate bodies such as the Working Groups. TSC members TSC members are responsible for top-level technical community con
