- [ ] DH: Overlap with the datasette project at metayaml.fly.dev
- [ ] JRG: It would be interesting to publish the internal sqlite database that conda index maintains :grimacing: Or the `info/` bits of every package.

## New Agenda Items

- [x] (DPC) NumFocus Small Development Grant Proposal
- Future project proposals will be vetted by the Conda - NumFOCUS 5
- Conda Fundables
- We could have a list of things the ecosystem needs that could become small dev grant proposals
- Every few months (every SDG announcement) we can make a call for people who would be interested.
- From the Python world: https://github.com/psf/fundable-packaging-improvements/blob/master/FUNDABLES.md
- Bring this up with the Steering Council.
- Should we have a project wide wishlist?
- A fundables repo?
- SDGs are only $10K.
- Crystal: seems similar to internship projects.
- Jannis: Not just about `conda` or about coding. Doc, infra, web,
- John K: Worth considering how this fits into a longer term vision for the project (roadmap?)

## TODO

- Anaconda should publish conda-index databases for conda-forge
