cfep-04 X11 and CDT policy
INACTIVE - Merge in with some inactive-esque status?
Needs new champion. Thanks for your work on this pkgw! Has unaddressed comments from pkgw as from Jan 10, 2020 Solved: Let’s defer and keep the “mixed model” we have now.
cfep-06 Staged-recipes review lifecycle
INACTIVE - Merge in with some inactive-esque status?
Lingering comment from @saraedum. @jakirkham, can you reply? Has unadressed comment from @saraedum from Jan 8, 2020
(MRB) The stalebot has solved the worst of the issues here. I think we could defer this one permanently. Solved: defer in favor of the stale bot for now.
cfep-15 Feedstock statuses, unmaintained
INACTIVE - Merge in with some inactive-esque status?
Needs another review. Has unaddressed updates from pkgw as of Jan 11, 2020 Pending: re-pinged pkgw for a second review.
cfep-12 Removing packages that violate the terms of the source package
Stalled since May 26, 2020
Active debate about moving to “broken” vs deleting from conda-forge channel
Active vote, ends on 2020-03-11
What were the results of the vote?
Did we hear back from NumFOCUS? they did the legal seminar which is recorded
cfep-17 Handling pin backports and dependency rebuilds
Stalled debate about implementation details between Isuru, CJ and Matt
UPDATE 2020-07-22: We in principle have agreement to render the extra pinnings needed directly in the feedstock on a temporary basis (i.e., until the migration has ended).

Move to Issue Tracker¶
2020-11-18
[ ] (IF/MRB/MV) intel oneAPI
todo
[ ] (Nikolay) licensing for opencl_rt
[ ] (Nikolay) intelmpi ABI compat w/ mpich
[ ] (MRB/IF) figure out how exactly to package C/C++ compilers
[ ] (MRB/IF) think about fortran ABI
[x] (MRB) make conda-forge compilers room (add people including keith)
[ ] (MB) asking core members to move to “emeritus” status
[ ] TODO: Eric to set up quarterly check-in for all core members to see if they’re interested in remaining “active” or if they want to move to emeritus
Remove emeritus folks from having access to various credentials (api tokens, twitter password, etc.)? This would require a change to the governance doc.
2020-11-11
TODO: Think about bringing in JOSS to provide context around how we might best write papers
2020-11-03
TODO: Check on Forrest Watters permissions for core

Next steps: write abstract and vote on spending of funds.

[ ] (ED) Who we are page? Some combination of a FAQ and a who is everyone. FAQ things like:
who’s the POC for CF <> Anaconda, CF <> NumFocus, CF <> Azure
who’s the POC for the various subteams?
Informal information: roles, day jobs, bios, the whole nine yards, why you’re here, etc.
Public or internal? I don’t really care either way. Anyone feel strongly one way or the other?
opt-in to public bios
software carpentry has a large number of instructors and has https://carpentries.org/instructors

[ ] (ED) document strategies for reproducible environments using conda-forge
[ ] (UK) Static libraries stuff
[ ] Add linting hints to builds to find them
