New Agenda Items

• (WV) Announce GSOC ideas
  • Submitted for conda org (lower prio given more recent age)
  • Ideas:
    • WebAssembly
    • Security improvements in rattler (sandbox client-side scripts like activation, post-link, maybe even figure out sandboxing on Windows)
  • (FF) Better chance to have both topics selected if one idea goes to conda-forge and the other to conda
• (WV) Discuss cache behavior for v1 recipe format
  • https://github.com/conda/ceps/pull/102
  • See discussion at https://github.com/conda/ceps/pull/102/files#r1861339238 and points raised by Daniel Ching
  • Daniel Ching will contribute some exemplar use cases to the CEP
• (WV) Run exports in repodata ready for vote
  • https://github.com/conda/ceps/pull/108
  • Concerns about extra size no longer apply thanks to the smaller size in shards
  • Preview already available in prefix.dev, good results; allows a few optimizations
  • Patch run_exports?
• (TH) Thoughts on PyPI interoperability?
  • See this thread for background: https://conda.zulipchat.com/#narrow/channel/457607-general/topic/PyPI.20interop
  • Currently, we want better pypi interoperability libraries in rattler
  • This is available in uv but its not stable or likely to be published on crates.io
  • Alternative being considered is bringing over work from rip (https://github.com/prefix-dev/rip)
  • We could later wrap these libraries and make them available via py-rattler so conda plugins can utilize them (e.g. conda-pypi)
