Upcoming Node.js security releases and many other Adventures in Nodeland - Issue #82

Training
As you know, I’m a Board member of the OpenJS Foundation, the home of Node.js, Eslint, Webpack, and many other projects you know and love. One of the ways we keep our operations running is by providing a neutral home for vendor-neutral training. The Node.js training material for OpenJS was developed by my friend David Mark Clements with help of many others (including me). Are you interested?
