## Introductions

- [ ] Ken Thompson, VP at Anaconda.
- [ ] Alex Trotta, Modular.

## Announcements

- [X] Couple CEPs were approved this week! CEP 25 (meta-standards for CEP-driven versioning of standards) and 26 (naming standards)


## New Agenda Items

- [X] WV: sigstore update
    - [ ] Trail of bits is helping shape up the CEP document (https://github.com/conda/ceps/pull/112)
    - [ ] Early feedback appreciated before vote is called!
    - [ ] Cheng will re-review later this week, early next week
- [X] WV: conditional dependencies
    - [ ] Sneak peek: Bas has implemented conditional dependencies in resolvo! A long-standing missing feature now available; will be demo-ed in a couple weeks as part of the currently open CEP (https://github.com/conda/ceps/pull/111)
    - [ ] FF: Currently multi-ouputs are used for "optional dependencies and groups". We'll probably need some sort of CEP to guide the transition of this approach forward?
    - [ ] WV: Yep, probably part of the CEP.
- [X] (CHL) Who's going to PyCon US next week?
  - [ ] Jannis & I (at least) will be at the Packaging Summit
  - [ ] (for those interested) https://github.com/wheelnext - wheel build variants and equivalents to virtual packages
