Open Governance in the JavaScript Ecosystem
summary
Announces the merger of JS Foundation and Node.js Foundation into the OpenJS Foundation and describes how a transparent process—weekly public merge meetings, livestreamed town halls, archived notes, and ad hoc deep dives—built community buy-in; they adopt a staging process from TC39 to advance proposals, form a cross-project council with consensus and tie-breaking voters, and onboard 28 projects, with CPC bootstrapping, an exec director search, and an all-project summit in Berlin, claiming the model successfully produced governance and project transfer.
