• (KK) Last week for current Outreachy intern, Surbhi

  • No video call presentation, but a blog post will be available
  • JK: Any pending PRs?
    • KK: https://github.com/conda-forge/conda-forge.github.io/pull/1793 <– This one just needs a check. Should be good to merge?
    • KK: https://github.com/conda-forge/conda-forge.github.io/pull/1790 <– This one is not fully complete, as neither Surbhi, Matt, nor I know much about Perl

• (IF) Close python 3.10 migration

  • https://github.com/conda-forge/conda-forge-pinning-feedstock/pull/3273
  • Status: https://conda-forge.org/status/#python310
  • Discussed dropping Python 3.7
    • IF: Make announcement to give people a heads up about the upcoming drop in October?
    • JK: Maintaining so many Python versions at the same time might be not needed if we can rely on stable APIs like HPy
    • JK (from chat): October 3rd is when Python 3.11 comes out ( https://peps.python.org/pep-0664/ )

• (JRG) Merging glob-strings in conda PR - is it ok to merge or too disruptive?
