Attendees

  • Jonathan, Phil, John, Filipe, Eric, Sylvain

  • Apologies

  • Michael (re 16th): wife’s water broke. Probably not going to make this one.

Standing Items

  • How many repos? ~1200

  • How many contributors? ~230

Notes

  • Recipe license to include in feedstock?

    *   Where to include?  In recipe? Should not be license for the package but rather for the **recipe.**
    
    • Not many

    • Deal with on-case-by case basis as extra commit on feedstock.

  • Moving to conda build 2.0 requires rebuilding ~35 packages.

    *   Rebuilding should be done before moving all feedstocks to new version
    
    • Not backwards incompatible. Mixing short and long prefix will results in short prefixes.

    • Filipe has done this with his own build system, maybe some issues on Windows.

    • This is the issue our Windows tech is seeing conda/conda build#1383

    • Conclusion: start rebuilding packages that use short binary prefix, then flip switch on all recipes.

  • Phil will be in Oz for next 6 months (Melbourne: UTC +10)

  • Next meeting schedule with doodle

  • Sylvain – mixing VC runtimes

    *   Recommend that these be placed in a different channel
    
  • conda-smithy release – Maybe Monday?

  • Do not know why rerendering is happening slowly

    *   Rerendering happens on Heroku, max 5 PR but can up limit
    
  • CFEP – if you have not looked at them CFEP 01 do so soon:

    *   [conda forge/conda forge enhancement proposals#1](https://github.com/conda-forge/conda-forge-enhancement-proposals/pull/1)
    
    • Can CFEPs change after the fact

    • What is consensus? BDFL, vote, vetos (like NumPy?), other?

          *   majority of  core member -- at meetings
      
      • Formal Government document, which includes how consensus is reached. – or should this be seperate

    • Start repo with

  • Have a look at

    *   [conda forge/conda forge enhancement proposals#3](https://github.com/conda-forge/conda-forge-enhancement-proposals/pull/3)
    
    • Labels for Python 3.6 – Jonathan will add comment

    • Offer ability to build against Python 3.6?
