## Introductions

- [ ] Eric Dill - OG conda

## Announcements

- [ ] (PY) Anaconda will start collecting anonymous usage data in Miniconda
- https://matrix.to/#/!ugIkjExjZULQyVDDNz:gitter.im/$KcG388folgJtISCY_HEN-GSsJRVEMYFjh73pzFAG1Y4?via=gitter.im&via=matrix.org
- https://www.anaconda.com/blog/changes-to-ancondas-anonymous-usage-data-collection
- https://www.anaconda.com/blog/anonymous_usage_data_collection_in_miniconda
- (WV) Is Anaconda still planning on publishing monthly download statistics? (2024-03 data is missing)
- (JL) Yes, we are; missing data is a bug. No change in policy in releasing that information.
- (JRG) Is there an easy way to globally opt-out of this data collection? (So CI systems don't report and/or break.)
- (JL) Yes. (Set `anaconda_anon_usage` config value to `off`.)
- (JL) `anaconda-client` on conda-forge does *not* install `anaconda_anon_usage`. This change only impacts installation from Anaconda's `main` (`defaults`) channel.

## New Agenda Items

- [X] _Comments about https://github.com/ContinuumIO/anaconda-package-data/issues/45 being fixed._
- JL: Add it to anaconda status page?
- [x] (JRG) Bug or manual override? The links at https://github.com/conda-incubator/governance/pull/132 were 404'ing and I had to edit the post. Did anyone delete the original HackMD?
- [ ] (JRG/JK) Recent CDN slow syncs
- [ ] https://github.com/conda/infrastructure/issues/892
- [ ] No incident reported in anaconda.statuspage.io
- [ ] CDN sync delays secondary of anaconda.org slowness.
- [ ] Recent OOM fix deployed. Should help.
- [x] (WV) rattler-build "distro" building
- [x] MB: Are you handling cycles?
- [x] From the chat: Compilers, cmake, python (IIRC), gettext/libiconv definitely create cycles. Make, And those `...-bootstrap` and `...-no-system` packages... Bison flex ?
- [x] (WV) new pixi release :tada:
