Proposals: - woodpecker.conda-forge.org - ci.conda-forge.org - Set up monitoring - Quantstack is setting up grafana for the mirror - - Q's: - What is stored in the sqlite DB? - What happens if the server crashes? - Where do the logs go? * [ ] (WV): TensorFlow-GPU ready to go, just need to decide if GPU should get prio over CPU?! * * [ ] (CHL): Any updates/improvements needed for anaconda.org? (Context: needed to plan internal development work for 21Q4, 22Q1) * Support for `.conda` packages * (IF): ability to modify the instructions -- change the "To install this package with conda run one of the following: ..." messages; e.g., squash (default) comments about broken labels. * (IF): repodata patches for labels * (MRB): faster CDN sync ### Pushed to next meeting ### Active votes ### CFEPs * [cfep-12](https://github.com/conda-forge/cfep/pull/23) Removing packages that violate the terms of the source package * Stalled since May 26, 2020 * Active debate about moving to "broken" vs deleting from conda-forge channel * Active vote, ends on 2020-03-11 * What were the results of the vote? * Did we hear back from NumFOCUS? they did the legal seminar which is recorded ### TODOs 2021-10-18 2021-09-22 * (MRB) master to main move (https://github.com/conda-forge/conda-forge.github.io/issues/1162) * everything done except feedstocks, releases, conda-smithy, and our github actions * releases is broken, opened an issue with github * some options for feedstocks * make sure to change the upload on branch key * [x] (MRB) make an announcement on how to update local clones (moved to the issue above) * [x] (MRB) make sure to update upload_on_branch (moved to the issue above) 2020-11-18 * [ ] (IF/MRB/MV) intel oneAPI * todo * [ ] (Nikolay) licensing for opencl_rt * [ ] (Nikolay) intelmpi ABI compat w/ mpich * [ ] (MRB/IF) figure out how exactly to package C/C++ compilers * [ ] (MRB/IF) think about fortran ABI * [x] (MRB) make conda-forge compilers room (add people including keith) * [ ] (MB) asking core members to move to "emeritus" status * [ ] TODO: Eric to set up quarterly check-in for all core members to see if they're interested in remaining "active" or if they want to move to emeritus * Remove emeritus folks from having access to various credentials (api tokens, twitter password, etc.)?
