Last Week in Node.js Working Groups - July 31st
by:
Last week there was an enormous amount of activity in the various WGs and projects across the Node.js organization. If the past few weeks are any indicator, this amount of activity has become the norm rather than the exception. Last week we saw activity from across the org - updates from the Installer, Website, Docker, Security, and more.
News from the Working Groups
- A PR to React-ify the Node.js Installer was reviewed and merged, with some remaining TODOs.
- A PR to remove the Events page from the Node.js website was submitted - the removal is due to the page being unmaintained, and being out of date. If you’d like to help maintain this, reach out to the Website WG or the Community Events team!
