New items

  • We need to share two passwords:
    • Just move the passwords to keybase [x] @Eric D uploaded the Twitter conda forge PW to keybase 2019-06-12 [ ] Upload stages recipes GH acct pw to keybase
  • 2fa for bots
    • How do we share creds for these? Photos of the QR code in keybase? (Or share the passcode that the QR code represents)
  • NumFOCUS summit will be in late Oct/early Nov it would be nice to have a strong conda-forge representation there.
  • We have 1 small grant development from NumFOCUS (3k) with the goal of a SciPy sprint. I’m writing a new one (this round is 5k) for a better recipe regeneration in conda-skeleton. If anyone is interested please let me know. (I’ll share a Google docs soon.)
  • We have a NumFOCUS team Google drive folder for conda-forge. Who has access to it? Should we make it available to all conda-forge core members?
    • Scopatz to check during the call
  • SciPy 2019
  • Discuss a strategy to manage qt patches (23!) and new version builds in the CIs.
    • Should be able to drop some of the patches and simplify when python 2.7 deprecates. QT 5.9 is the last version for py27 b/c QT is not supporting vs 2008 after the 5.9 rev.
  • ESIP update:
    • balance: 3827.78 USD
    • use part of the money to pay for Azure dedicated machines: Windows and Linux to build Qt.
    • Use money to fund travel to SciPy this year?
  • Long running build setup on linux
    • Set up build nodes on linux on azure.
    • Autoscaling group: then we don't have to pre-determine the instance sizing.
    • TODO: Ask azure maybe?
  • Nvidia money has not arrived for may profit / loss conda-forge report. Eric will ping Lynn and ask about these phantom dollars.
  • http://conda-forge.org does not auto-upgrade to https. This is a Marius thing.
  • CFEP9 conda-smithy
    • PR is now doing the right thing but requires some minor changes to conda-build to make it less gross
    • Works for VC14→ 14.1 and VS2015→ VS2017 as a test case.
    • How does staged-recipes need to be changed to account for these new migrators / pinnings
  • Emiritus Change model
  • Handling rc label with strict channel priority
