Lee | CHL | \*conda\* | chenghlee | | Wolf Vollprecht | WV | prefix.dev | wolfv | | Asmit Malakannawar | AM | N/A | asmitbm | | Daniel Holth | DH | Anaconda | dholth | | Bianca Henderson | BH | Anaconda | beeankha | 12 people total ## Introductions - [x] RA: Developer at prefix.dev, previously worked at Smart-Robotics on Developer experience topics including Conda - [x] AO: Rust contractor, working together with Prefix.dev ## Announcements - [x] KO: May releases are ongoing: conda 23.5.0, conda-build 3.25.0, and conda-libmamba-solver 23.5.0 - FYI conda renames .state.json cache files to .info.json - conda-build uses conda-index as a new dependency ## New Agenda Items - [x] WV/AO: resolvelib-rs - a new conda resolver based on resolvelib - repo: http://github.com/prefix-dev/resolvelib-rs - Pubgrub was hard. It assumes continuous ranges in matchspec. - Pip also did not choose pubgrub. - WV did a live demo. - Request for notes on the pubgrub effort. - - [x] JL: Graduating conda.org to main conda org - initial vote failed due to not reaching quorum among the steering council members: https://github.com/conda-incubator/conda-dot-org/issues/110 - communication around votes not good enough? - [x] WV: started the boa/rattler-build spec CEP: https://github.com/conda-incubator/ceps/pull/53 - [x] TH: Is it time for a different approach to conda's project board? - Existing board is highly focused on Anaconda employees - Does it make sense to create a board more welcoming to those outside Anaconda? - We often run into issue limits for boards (< 1200), so I think these should be project specific (e.g. `conda`, `conda-build`, etc.) - Both [conda-libmamba-solver](https://github.com/orgs/conda/projects/15) and [conda-dot-org](https://github.com/orgs/conda-incubator/projects/3) offer good examples of what this could look like - [x] DPC: When others talk about XXXXXX, should we say "Prefix" or "Prefix.dev"? - Written down: Prefix.dev is better; for spoken, you can use either. - if you talk to electric auto enthusiasts, maybe use the .dev (https://prefix.com/) ## What is this meeting for? Various parts of the conda community gather on a regular basis. This meeting brings together all of these sub-communities for a community wide call.
