### New Agenda Items
* Revisit the meeting schedule. Should we change it to accomodate more people?
    * Maybe a new doodle? -> (CHL) Will put schedule a poll and announce via Slack, email
    * Ideally we should also ask conda-forge to be bi-weekly so we can use the same date and time allowing people attending both to reverse the slot for conda-community and conda-forge.
