Attendees¶
Agenda¶
Your agenda items¶
(Filipe) Should we try GSoC? If so, should we try under the NumFOCUS umbrella? Deadline is Monday, October 28 at 17:00 UTC! Discussion:
Ideas?
Should be straightforward to get started

(CJ) Python 3.8 progress Discussion:
Windows issue is pretty nasty. (https://github.com/conda-forge/python-feedstock/pull/274#issuecomment-542331428)
Something’s up with macos (fixed if you don’t build with LTO - Link Time Optimization - but that’s more fun)
Jonathan has linux packages with py38 label on his anaconda.org channel.
Subteam updates¶
Bot¶
ARM¶
Docs¶
staged-recipes¶
website¶
CI infrastructure¶
Compiler upgrade¶
CFEP updates¶
How do we start getting traction on these?
cfep-03 Manual upload of builds¶
Filipe to review, fix any text and merge it in.
cfep-04 X11 and CDT policy¶
cfep-05 dev/rc builds¶
It seems that the
conda install label::packagesyntax gives some odd/unexpected resultsMaybe we should build a cron job that tests some expected environments?
discussion:
doesn’t
automated dev builds: opt-in?
enable maintainers to ask for a new PR to be created for a dev release.
cfep-06 Staged-recipes review lifecycle¶
cfep-08 Too Big To Fail¶
Tabled for the time being

cfep-10 Feedstock statuses, unmaintained¶
How to handle being a collection of packages “which work” and/or an archival store.

Epoching in conda
two indexes
current_repodata.jsonandrepodata.jsonBuild on this idea for more epochs
Shallow graph thing
Put time slice repodata.json file on CDN?

conda install package -date=Jan2019
Purpose of conda-forge: Reproducibility vs replicability vs new stuff that just works
Ways in which we can help with reproducibility:
label all packages with “reproducible” or “all”
lock/freeze your environment
conda create with locked environment pointing to the “all” channel of conda-forge
Best Practices on using conda, conda files, environment.yml, construct.yml, anaconda.org, local channels, etc.
Discussion¶
Check in on previous action items¶

3 meetings ago¶
[ ] (Filipe) Progress on setting up a self-hosted blog
Medium seems to be generally downvoted
Host your own blog seems to be generally positive
Can we mimic what Dask does for their dev blog? https://github.com/dask/dask-blog
[ ] (Needs Owner) Searching on our website is a little difficult
[ ] (Filipe, Anthony) Improve docs on releasing conda-smithy. Currently says “use rever”. Would be good to fill out more info there for those of us that are unfamiliar with rever.
