+## Minutes

+
+* Rod (build, facilitator)
+* Ben (TC)
+* Bert (TC)
+* Chris (TC)
+* Fedor (TC)
+* Trevor (TC)
+
+### sys: Remove after 3 years of deprecation #182 
+
+https://github.com/iojs/io.js/pull/182
+
+* Ben: what sort of strategy to take? Deprecated only in the docs but no warning. Looking for an official deprecation policy.
+* Bert: suggest we could properly deprecate but not a good case for removing it completely, Chris agreed
+* Fedor: suggested a policy that removal of deprecated features should be done where there is a maintenance overhead, but otherwise if there is little/no cost then "who cares"
+* Discussed a deprecation message on `require(‘sys’)`
+  * Ben: -0
+  * Fedor: +1
+  * Chris: +1
+  * Trevor: -0
+  * Bert: +1
+* No disagreement to adding a deprecation message, **ask initial PR submitter to change to just adding a message**
+
+### module: force require('process') to return a reference to process #206
+
+https://github.com/iojs/io.js/pull/206
+
+* #157 has a long discussion on this: https://github.com/iojs/io.js/issues/157
+* Chris: +1 on a PR adding this
+* Trevor: it just returns a global, no point
+* Bert: not the way that JS adds new features; discussed the new Intl addition to joyent/node, in favor of making more things requirable rather than adding new globals all the time
+* Tangential discussion on the Intl object being added in joyent/node
+* Collected votes:
+  * Bert: +0
+  * Ben: +0.5
+  * Trevor: -0
+  * Fedor: +1
+  * Chris: +1
+* **Ben to handle the merge / resolution**
+
+
+### File copyright policy #216
+
+https://github.com/iojs/io.js/pull/216
+
+* Rod asked if there are any strong opinions about how to handle this
+* **Group agreed that Rod will take this issue and seek legal advice to find a way forward**
+
+### Rename v0.12 to v1.0.0
+
+https://github.com/iojs/io.js/issues/218
+
+* Trevor: concerns about 1.0 vs 1.x branch naming with maintaining semver releases while also doing LTS, 1.x effectively becomes master until a 2.0 comes along.
+* Bert: -1
+* Ben: +1
+* Chris: +1
+* Fedor: +1
+* Trevor: 0
+
+Action: **Rename to "v1.x", Ben agreed to make the change**
+
+
+### Merge strategy (v0.10 and joyent/node)
+
+* _Much_ discussion about merge strategies, patches, branches, etc.
+* Agreed to merge regularly
+* **Bert agreed to monitor the situation and propose a merge strategy when the time is right**
+
+### Next meeting
+
+* Agreed to meet again on the 7th of January UTC
+* Agreed to have mini-stand-up at the beginning of each meeting
