NumFOCUS summit. Can send 2 people with their funding. Can apply for 1 numfocus award.
- What's the numfocus award? "Outstanding new contributor award". Every project gives out an award to their best new member / contributor. That is up to the project to determine. This is a "welcome, hey, you're doing a great job" sort of thing. Last year we gave it to CJ.
- Anthony will own the nominations and voting.

conda-forge talk at pydata nyc? Marius will check and see if there's interest from the organizing committe.
- conda-forge tutorial at pydata nyc?
-
Discussed how to set up a blog. Options are probably Medium / host your own on the conda-forge website.
- Medium seems to be generally downvoted
- Host your own blog seems to be generally positive
- Issues raised: Searching on our website is a little difficult.
-
New conda-smithy release? haven't cut one in months. Anthony will cut a new release of conda-smithy.
- Do we have docs on releasing conda-smithy? There are some instructions in the readme. Anthony and Filipe will sync later on getting this done (and maybe the docs updated)
-
(Filipe) ESIP funds. Gave good feedback on packages. They weren't really sure what it was that we did behind the scenes.
-
(Filipe) Pangeo meeting last week. Folks are generally happy with conda-forge. They're struggling with channels,
strict
, and are generally not interested in engaging us with issues.- How can we get users to engage us and open issues?
- Something to think about: If you know nothing about conda-forge, the website does not necessarily give you clear instructions on how to understand where your issue might be.
- Would be good to improve the entry points for folks
