Merge Q&A Session / Town Hall
summary
Announced intent to merge the Node.js Foundation and JS Foundation into one organization that preserves each project’s independent technical governance while combining fundraising, staff and programs; a financial analysis shows net savings and sponsor interest, membership tiers (platinum/gold/silver) stay similar, and a ~ $70,000 travel fund for contributors is highlighted for expansion. Proposed structures include a Cross Project Council plus incubator and Commons for shared CI and resources, legal documents and naming target Q1 2019 but details like a unified code of conduct remain undecided.
