# October 2022 conda Community Update

Hello conda Community!

This is the first<sup>1</sup> irregularly scheduled<sup>2</sup> **conda Community Update!**  It's a summary of what's happening in the conda ecosystem.

This first edition is a little rough and will undoubtedly miss things.  I apologize in advance for that, but I am hopeful that future editions will be more complete as I am asking for your help:

> Got something for the next newsletter? Please send it to me via Gitter, Slack, Twitter, email or pigeon.

This update includes items on 

* a
* b
* c

Thanks for being a part of the community,

Cheers,
Dave Clements
