New Agenda Items
-
(CHL) Publishing event to Scientific Python calendar
- https://scientific-python.org/calendars/
- (JRG) we will need to make sure we are serving the needs for a broader audience in the right way:
- Process for the agenda: open on Monday, close on Tuesday, discuss on Wednesday, to avoid too much noise in the meeting
- Recordings?
- Meeting notes: who is in charge of writing things down, and update the community website accordingly
- In essence, make it nice for everyone who wants to join
- There must be resources out there set by other communities we can reuse / be inspired by
-
(WV) conda env removal
- https://github.com/conda/conda/issues/11633
- (WV) does it go too far? :)
- (KO) not advocating for its removal (ATM), rather to freeze it until everything gets sorted
- Need UX research to understand how different user personas interact with existing commands (e.g., experienced vs new users)
- (JRG) Generally Inconsistency in commands and flags
- (MRB)
conda env export
is something we definitely need to keep
-
(KK) conda.org website planning introduction
- https://github.com/conda-incubator/conda.org
- #conda-dot-org on conda slack channel
- looking for community input
- Also looking for help on how we manage such a website in a sustainable way (content moderation, maintenance, new features, etc.)
-
(JRG) Custom S3 channels documentation / tests?
- (JL) Will ask internally at Anaconda if other teams have worked on this
-
(DJC) CFEP License packages for header-only/static libraries
- https://github.com/conda-forge/cfep/pull/47
- tl;dr header-only/static library packages should run_export an empty package (which contains the license text)
- (WV) Should this be a
run_export
, or should we add a newlicense_export
key to conda-build?
What is this meeting for?
