New Agenda Items

• Revisit the meeting schedule. Should we change it to accomodate more people?

  • Maybe a new doodle? -> (CHL) Will put schedule a poll and announce via Slack, email
  • Ideally we should also ask conda-forge to be bi-weekly so we can use the same date and time allowing people attending both to reverse the slot for conda-community and conda-forge.
  • (CHL) Reach out to Intel, IBM to join community calls; (PW) Apple, Netflix; (RG) Pytorch

• Python Symbol table of conda-forge packages
