Agenda

Nightly uptime - when nightlies die, what should we try to do about it?
- We should improve the cleanup script
  - It should work even if sudowoodo has restarted / died in the middle
- Documentation for undoing a nightly needs to be improved
  - “Our documentation is bad and it should be less bad” :D Less bad plz
- Sam will make a notification system for when nightlies have failed 3 days in a row.
  - Perhaps GitHub Action?
OpenJS promoting Electron 11 release
- Rachel needs rough draft by Nov. 2 (two weeks prior to release)
- @VerteDinde can own, but if we want anything specific in, let me know
Undocumented Windows API use?
11-x-y updates https://github.com/electron/electron/projects/26
