Mamba v2 RC is out: https://medium.com/@QuantStack/introducing-mamba-2-0-0e8d5c6d1d0c
New conda-libmamba-solver 24.7.0 release (first since January!)
- Also, this conda-libmamba-solver PR passes the test suite with v2

TH: Is there any possibility to schedule a community meeting that is a little more European timezone friendly? I am consistently unable to attend these meetings because they are so late in my work day (19 - 20), but I really like to come. Unfortunately, I'm also unable to attend this meeting 😅, but maybe you all would be interested to discuss this. Please update me on the Matrix chat! - JRG: Better discussed async so we don't bias the conversation towards folks that do attend the meeting
Dasha about formally joining the conda/communications team
Discourse instance over 25K impressions a month. Limit is 50K, btw.
Element vs Zulip: should we change?
- Dasha to create an issue in the conda organization to gather feedback
- Jaime did a quick demo of how it's used in the napari organization
Wolf's CEPs for the new recipe format vote period has ended. Passed, but official counts need to happen.
- Next one in line: (multi)test serialization, and test splitting to packages instead of bundling them under info/
- Jaime: Can we put the new packages in different subdirs?
