+# 08/07/2025 ESLint TSC Meeting Transcript
+
+**nzakas:** Howdy!
+
+**fasttime:** Hi!
+
+**nzakas:** It'll just be us today as @mdjermanovic is away
+
+**fasttime:** Yes
+
+**nzakas:** Just going through last meeting's notes
+
+**nzakas:** Looks like we don't have any followups from last week.
+
+**nzakas:** Last meeting, that is.
+ * 👍 @fasttime
+
+**nzakas:** Let's start with statuses. I've mostly been reviewing PRs for the Markdown and CSS plugins, which have had a lot of activity. I updated the MCP server prompt so it allows autofixing if requested, and continued work on the CSS variables RFC.
+
+**fasttime:** I've been mostly busy reviewing PRs and a few issues. Other than that, I've updated the multithread linting PR and worked on some maintenance tasks.
+
+**nzakas:** Let's talk availability for the next couple of weeks. I'm going to have a bit less time, around one hour per weekday, until the end of August.
+
+**fasttime:** I should be able to work about 1 hour during weekdays and maybe 2 on the weekends, so like 9 hours per week. I expect to have more time starting August 18.
+
+**nzakas:** RFC Duty:
+This week - @nzakas 
+August 11 - @fasttime 
+August 18 - @nzakas
+ * 👍 @fasttime
+
+**nzakas:** It doesn't look like we have anything flagged for today. Any issues or PRs you'd like to discuss?
+
+**fasttime:** Nothing in particular.
+
+**nzakas:** Want to share a status update on parallel linting?
+
+**fasttime:** There's only one open question: https://github.com/eslint/eslint/pull/19794#discussion_r2235619344
+
+**fasttime:** Other than that no feedback to address. Shall we write a blog post?
+
+**nzakas:** Write a blog about...?
+
+**fasttime:** About the multithread linting, I mean
+
+**nzakas:** When it's released, yes.
+
+**fasttime:** Okay 🙂  That's all I think.
+
+**nzakas:** For including `URL`, it looks like it's available in the TypeScript DOM library, so we could do:
+
+```json
+{
+  "compilerOptions": {
+    "lib": ["ESNext", "DOM"]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+?
+
+**nzakas:** Although we don't have a `tsconfig.json` at the top-level. 🤔
+
+**fasttime:** I think the problem is more consumers that don't use the DOM library or `@types/node` in their dependencies.
+
+**fasttime:** For that we should add a production dependency on `@types/node` or ask TS consumers to use `@types/node` or a built-in library  that provides a definition for `URL`.
+
+**nzakas:** That feels pretty clunky
+
+**fasttime:** Yes
+
+**nzakas:** Because this is the last blocking decision, then let's go with your idea of a custom type for now. As long as we have a runtime check for instanceof URL, then I think that gets us most of what we want.
+
+**fasttime:** Sounds good. We can probably change this later with a simple fix.
+
+**nzakas:** Yeah, that's my thinking too.
+
+**fasttime:** Okay, I'll do the change.
+ * 👍 @nzakas
+
+**nzakas:** Oh, and OptionModule vs. OptionsModule?
+
+**nzakas:** Ah looks like you already made that change
+
+**nzakas:** Sorry, haven't caught up yet today.
+
+**fasttime:** Yeah 🙂 I did that already.
+ * 👍 @nzakas
+
+**nzakas:** Okay, anything else before we talk contributor pool?
+
+**fasttime:** Nothing from my side.
+
+**nzakas:** Here's the report from July:
+https://github.com/eslint/tsc-meetings/blob/main/notes/2025/2025-07-01-contributor-pool.md
+
+**nzakas:** Another massive month for contributions.
+ * 😮 @fasttime
+
+**nzakas:** I'm going to ask ChatGPT to review and give some recommendations. 🙂
+
+**fasttime:** Good idea, let's give it a try.
+
+**nzakas:** Here's what I got:

+**nzakas:** I think I'd probably bump xbinaryx up to $800
+
+**nzakas:** Removing rollup and extra types from `@eslint/markdown` was a larger job
+
+**fasttime:** I didn't review their PRs but I also think that some of them seem larger
+
+**nzakas:** Ah some of these are for new rules, which we typically pay higher for, let me adjust that algorithm and see what we come up with.
