## 📝 Agenda
- [X] Sylvain: Scope of work items
- conda-forge [status page UX](https://conda-forge.org/status/)
- as in the grant deliverable https://github.com/Quansight-Labs/czi-conda-forge-mgmt/issues/13 and https://github.com/Quansight-Labs/czi-conda-forge-mgmt/issues/14
- Sylvain to invite Gabriela (Quantstack) to do a demo/work on the UI
- [X] Sylvain: Satellite efforts in the mamba-org:
- libmamba and programmatic usage not ideal these days. 2023 goal make this more adequate for programmatic usage (2.0). the underlying motivation is to have a webserver that solves environments remotely, which means an async layer on top of the refactor. libsolv is not threadsafe, nor libarchive.
- mamba moving to full c++, like micromamba but not static, installable along with conda
- package signing, chain of trust needs in the ecosystem. TUF being used separately in Anaconda (pre-1.0 TUF) and in mamba (pre and post 1.0). "Root authority" in conda implementation is Anaconda Inc exclusive.
- Related stretch goal: https://github.com/Quansight-Labs/czi-conda-forge-mgmt/issues/12
- SBOMs are also missing in conda-forge. Anaconda does have them for enterprise clients.
- [X] Introductions: Vini from Quansight.
- [X] Jaime: Three missions: infrastructure audit, OCI mirror, maintainer's dashboard.
- [X] Jaime: Report on progress of infra docs
- [X] Sylvain: Hind has been working on how to upload packages from conda-forge to OCI.
- Jaime: Useful synergies on the infra docs PRs. Collaboration to happen in two weeks.
