+* url: significantly improve the performance of the url module [#933](https://github.com/iojs/io.js/issues/933) / @mikeal
+* Ship websockets in core [#1010](https://github.com/iojs/io.js/issues/1010) / @piscisaureus

+* Colin resigning from TC [#1056](https://github.com/iojs/io.js/pull/1056)
+
+### [#1134](https://github.com/iojs/io.js/pull/1134) Add Docker working group
+
+* Rod: originally conceived to be a “sub-WG” of Build WG but this makes sense because there is little overlap with the Build team or skills required for the Build team.
+* Rod: this group is already maintaining official Docker images or io.js located at https://github.com/iojs/docker-iojs which are also the “official” Docker images for io.js.
+
+### [#1140](https://github.com/iojs/io.js/pull/1140) Revert stream base / @piscisaureus / merge policy questions
+
+* Bert: in favour of stream_base now and don’t want it reverted given the fixes that have been made. The real problem was the introduction of a major change that lead to a lot of breakage and a lot of fix commits. Proposed that we have a “ng” (or similar) branch with releases for testing before merging.
+* Chris: agree that we need a canary policy of some kind to deal with this
+* Bert: feature flags are a good way of dealing with this and letting them test changes
+* Ben: time-based releases like Rust and Chrome
+* Fedor: main problem is that we didn’t have enough tests for this feature when it was merged.
+* Rod: there’s awkwardness around releasing given that we only have one tip and we can’t cut patch releases once we have semver-minor changes are merged.
+* Trevor: should have semver-minor branches where patch fixes go in and minor changes go in to master/whatever.
+* Discussion about git process
+* Discussion about semver
+* Discussion about minor/patch and what it communicates
+* Discussion about test coverage
+* Rod asked OpenSSL fix: agreed to punt on a release until OpenSSL fix has been released and go immediately after that.
+
+### [#1130](https://github.com/iojs/io.js/pull/1130) Nominating Jeremiah Senkpiel @Fishrock123 to the TC
+
+* Rod: there was some off-record discussion about TC membership process related to #1130 and #1131.
+  - Neither individual was asked and it would be good to at least have it passed by them first
+  - Would be good to have a smooth on-boarding mechanism to bringing someone on to meetings before officially making them TC, agreed to invite Jeremiah to next TC _if_ he’s interested in being involved.
+  - Generally agreed that increasing the size of the TC is a good thing (minus the meeting-overhead added by more people)
+
+### [#1077](https://github.com/iojs/io.js/pull/1077) Pass args to process.nextTick() / @trevnorris
+
+* Trevor: passing arguments / context through process.nextTick() in core is common and would be significantly faster if we use a setArgs() feature.
+* Chris: needed in readable-stream
+* Discussed API concerns and how underscored methods still become defacto in userland
+* Chris: could land the internal-module PR and use a Symbol for setArg
+* Trevor: major speed increase comes from flattening the call-structure, there’s no additional stack entries for passing arguments. Particularly in crypto, nextTick() is called a lot.
+* Rod: we need perf numbers from a user-experience perspective, perhaps that will make it more compelling to merge or perhaps it will make this look trivial that it’s not worth the cost of introducting ugly API
+* Trevor: will go off and come back with numbers
+
+### Major version bump
+
+* Ben: proposed making a new integration branch to merge all of the semver-minor features, plus a V8 upgrade, we can start pushing out nightly-style releases for playing around and punt the decision on _how_ to do a major release down the road a little.
+* Group agreed, Rod agreed to help come up with a release mechanism for nightlies to couple with this.
+
+### Next meeting
+
+* 25th March 2015
