### New Agenda Items

* Upcoming conda 4.10.0 release (planned around end of March, early April)
    * Formally dropping support for Python 2.7, Python < 3.6 (_in the base environment_)
        * https://github.com/conda/conda/issues/10180
        * conda-forge, defaults have not supported Py2.7 since 4.8.3 (Mar 2020), Py3.5 since 4.5.11 (Aug 2018)
        * This only impacts the base environment. Support for non-base Py2.7, < 3.6 envs will continue indefinitely.
    * Introducing support for artifact verification
        * First release: sign and verifies metadata in repodata.json
        * Currently only available as _pilot_ program to subset of Anaconda customers
        * Mid- to long-term goals include:
            * Making signed metadata on defaults
            * Allowing channels like conda-forge to sign packages & metadata
        * Soliciting community input on signature specifications, functional requirements, etc.
            * Link to Sebastian's talk: ...
        * Conda-content-trust: 
    * Other fixes: https://github.com/conda/conda/milestone/47
* New platforms being added to defaults (repo.anaconda.com)
    * linux-aarch64: targeting "server-class" ARM cores (e.g., Neoverse), but should (mostly) work with other 64-bit ARM CPUs (e.g., Raspi3/4)
    * linux-s390x: support for RHEL, Ubuntu, SLES on z14, z15
    * Anaconda Individual Edition installers available starting 2020.04
* AST & symbol inspection:
