### 4. Updates

*Active contibutors, especially funded developers, share quick highlights from last week, and the roadmap for next week.*

#### Anaconda (Mateusz)

- started work on `SizeBar` annotation (issue #2603), similar to `ColorBar`

- use native nesting, `:is()` selector, `color-mix()` function, etc.
- potentially using postcss to support older web browsers
- finalizing work on migration of data annotations to glyphs (PR #14378)
- create some kind of showcase, especially Bokeh widgets (something like a GUI for conda). Might be a separate repo, maybe 3 or 4 variants of the UI (including Electron, web app, etc). Goal is to test things related to CZI, having one place to test all aspects. Will probably take several months.

#### CZI R6

* Pavithra, general updates:
* Roadmap in progress

### 6. Discussion items

* Ian
* New repo in bokeh github org `bokehjs-examples`?
* Mateusz - There is already an old one which can be looked at and possibly revived
* Initially to contain my TypeScript examples and CI to confirm they work.
* Later can add other options, docs, etc.
* Initially will just push to `main` branch, when I've set CI up I will submit PRs.

* Timo
* NumFocus CoC email sent out. Probably worth looking into (to update our existing one or not)

* Mateusz
* Should we adopt the new `Issue types` introduced by GH? - It looks nice and clearer than our old custom one
* Only problem is that it only applies to `Issues` but not PRs
