- [x] (WV) [rattler-build](https://github.com/prefix-dev/rattler-build) shaping up
    - [x] [nushell support](https://github.com/prefix-dev/rattler-build/pull/907)
    - [x] files selection support
        - [x] Equivalent in conda-build: https://github.com/conda/conda-build/pull/5216
    - [x] [experimental cache support](https://github.com/prefix-dev/rattler-build/pull/898)
        - [x] JL: Not sure about the name of `cache`.
        - [x] JRG: Maybe `pre-build`?
    - [x] WV: Good time to check the open ceps for comments: https://github.com/conda/ceps/pulls/wolfv
- [x] (WV) reproducible builds effort also shaping up
- [x] (WV) resolvo improvements for up to 10x faster resolves (vs libsolv)
    - [x] just need to finish the error reporter
- [x] (JL) made call for rattler-build focused trial (not just toying!) within Anaconda
    - [x] Any rattler-build starting guide available?
    - [x] Onboarding for conda-build user
- [ ] (JRG) A round of informative CEPs just dropped. [`explicit.txt`](https://github.com/conda/ceps/pull/79), [`environment.yml`](https://github.com/conda/ceps/pull/81), [`MatchSpec` grammar](https://github.com/conda/ceps/pull/82).
    - [ ] I'd like to end up with something like [what packaging.python.org has](https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/specifications/). Possibly with some elements from OpenContainers too ([runtime spec](https://github.com/opencontainers/runtime-spec/blob/main/spec.md), [image-spec](https://github.com/opencontainers/image-spec/blob/main/spec.md), [distribution-spec](https://github.com/opencontainers/distribution-spec/blob/main/spec.md))
- [ ] (JL) Governance FYIs and ideas:
    - [ ] New discussion: "conda maintainers" team to replace legacy "conda-core" catch-all
        - [ ] feedback welcome
        - [ ] @dholth, JL, JRG discussed whether to include conda-package-streaming, conda-package-handling in that as well
        - [ ] https://github.com/conda/conda/issues/13526
    - [ ] FYI: Passed vote and created new "CLA Reviewers" team
        - [ ] https://github.com/conda/governance/issues/136
    - [ ] Idea: A technical review group, to streamline deep work on standard CEPs
        - [ ] this was tried before, we didn't agree on a format
        - [ ] How can we help the steering council to review and vote on CEPs that are outside their skillset?
