Various parts of the conda ecosystem gather on a regular basis. This meeting brings together all of these sub-communities for a community wide call.

Attendees

1. JRG: Jaime Rodríguez-Guerra (@jaimergp), Quansight, CF/C, C/SC.
2. BM: Ben Moss.

Announcements

• JRG: RFC period for foundationals standards CEPs ending this week. Vote to start next Monday.

New agenda items

• BM: How to become more involved in conda-forge after contributing a few feedstocks?
  • JRG: Two good starting points:
    • Help out by reviewing recipe types you are familiar in staged-recipes (check "review request" threads in the General channel in Zulip)
    • Flag omissions / out-of-date pieces in documentation.

Deferred to next meeting

• JRG (conda-forge): Idea to request OSS sponsorship for blacksmith.sh runners.
• JRG: Bug in CEP 19
• DH: Plan to discontinue current_repodata.json on conda-forge; it can't be used by modern solvers and is slow to generate.
• DH: CEPs regarding development policy for the Python implementation of conda. 14-day comment period has elapsed for "use Python API conventions in conda instead of deprecation policy"; alternate new CEP "retract deprecation policy; move policy to conda developer documentation"
