Spotlight #7: Focused on a Safe and Inclusive Node Community with Tracy Hinds at Node.js Interactive 2016
Working Toward a Safer, Inclusive Event: Node.js Interactive North America by Tracy Hinds, education community manager of the Node.js Foundation
Node.js API (NAPI) - Node with PoC ABI stable API for native modules. The goal of this project is to provide a stable Node API for native module developers. NAPI aims to provide ABI compatibility guarantees across different Node versions and also across different Node VMs – allowing NAPI enabled native modules to just work across different versions and flavors of Node.js without recompilations.

January 30, 2017Conversational Development and Controversy
In this episode of Spotlight recorded at OSCON London 2016, Jerod talked with Sid Sijbrandij (CEO of GitLab) who was recently on The Changelog discussing GitLab’s Master Plan and a new style of development they call “Conversational Development”, to talk about how they’re executing on that plan. We also discussed the recent controversy around GitLab and the removal (and subsequent reposting) of security research data. We enjoyed hearing how Sid turns everything in to an opportunity.
