+
+
+## Agenda items
+
+### Review of face-to-face VM summit (https://github.com/jasnell/vm-summit)
+Stefan walked us through plan

+
+IRC channel has been created: node-api in freenode.

+
+We agreed to commit changes under this repo in the
+module-api-experimental subdirectory.
+
+### Review of FFI investigation so far
+
+Still value as compliment to vm api.  As alternative more work
+and higher barrier of entry for new VMs.
+
+Talked about Interface Definition language.  
+
+Potential benefits are that is it would be fast, possibly even faster
+than current level integration allowing it to be used broadly
+across Node.js internals.
+
+Next step Ali (@ofrobots) to discuss with v8 team.
+
+Alexis will share power point on repo.
+
+### Actions from last meeting
+
+N/A
+
+### Open issues review

+We walked through the open issues, closed some stale ones.
+Nothing really warranted in depth discussion at this time.  One
+action was for Michael to look at README.md to see
+if we can clarify the positioning versus Nan
+
+
+## Actions for next meeting
+
+Michael to review README.md to see if we can improve
+positioning versus Nan wg.
+
+## Next meeting
+
+Some discussion about what deadlines we have from the vm
+face-to-face VM summit actions, in the end we agreed that we should
+target next meeting for end of May.
