“I’ve been a user of nvm since 2011, and it is the best way to install Node.js on a developer’s machine,” said Matteo Collina, Node.js Technical Steering Committee member, and Node.js CPC representative. “nvm is an important and widely used part of the Node.js and JavaScript ecosystem, and by joining as a hosted project, nvm is ensuring its growth and impact well into the future.” “It’s really exciting to have node version manager (nvm) as the first project to enter into the incubation process,” said Michael Dawson, IBM Community lead for Node.js and Node.js Board representative. On behalf of the CPC, I look forward to nvm’s success as well as onboarding more projects crucial to the ecosystem” “As the first project, it shows forward progress and momentum. “Having nvm enter into the incubation phase is an important and exciting milestone for the Cross Project Council and the OpenJS Foundation,” said Joe Sepi, CPC Chair. This is especially useful when developers are working on various projects that have different minimum required Node.js versions.”

“nvm is a valuable tool that makes upgrading to new or switching between existing versions of Node.js much more simple. “It’s great to have nvm join the OpenJS Foundation because it’s an important part of the overall ecosystem and a tool that makes Node.js version management easier for our users,” said Bethany Griggs, member of the Node.js Release Working Group and Node.js Project Technical Steering Committee.

Furthermore, nvm will be able to ensure governance and Code of Conduct enforcement to make sure that nvm will continue to be stable if there are personnel changes with the sole maintainer. Provides the ease and convenience of a package manager without needing to obtain node from an unofficial distribution channel which cuts down on delays before newly released node versions are installable.īy joining the OpenJS Foundation, there are multiple organizational and infrastructure areas that will be better supported, helping both current users and future users including ensuring no single point of failure for the nvm.sh domain, GitHub repo, and more.
