Notes
- 
Options for packaging X.org libraries.
* Bundle them together [PR#2068](https://github.com/conda-forge/staged-recipes/pull/2068).- Use build customization to do one build and split out multiple packages.
 
 - 
Drop numpy 1.10 but leave Python 3.4 for a while longer.
 - 
John will build Qt 4 on OS X.
 - 
Ray will build Qt 5 with jpeg 9* soon on defaults and our problem will go away.
 - 
conda-build 2
* do not wait for the remaining packages that needs long prefix- merge conda forge/conda forge build setup feedstock#40
 - investigate why pestc is not uploading
 
 - 
Move MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET variable to conda-build-setup and modify the CFEP to reflect that.
 
Agenda
- 
pkgw would like to discuss bundling X.org client libraries in the conda-forge stack, as per PR#2068. The PR has everything bundled into a giant tarball for simplicity; gqmelo posted a set of recipes that splits each library out.
 - 
Defaults channel libpng and jpeg updates: scheduled for 1Q 2017. Continuum requests closer collaboration on future api/abi incompatible updates to core libraries.
 - 
One pinning scheme for both defaults and conda-forge?
 - 
That would be ideal. Hopefully we can head that way.
 - 
Drop Python 3.4. Now that conda-forge have Qt 4+jpeg9* on Windows the Python 3.5+Windows users can migrate from Python 3.4 to 3.5.
 - 
Do MinGW compile things that play well with Python 3.5/MSVC 2015 yet? AFAICT this is still an issue.
 - 
Drop numpy 110
 - 
Upload of Qt 4 for OS X
 - 
Have a VM I'm willing to use to do this. Details here.
 - 
Build and upload of Qt 5+jpeg 9* for all platforms
 - 
PyCon 2017. Just submitted a place holder talk as we lost the tutorial deadline and the talk deadline is today. Anyone interested in participating please get in touch.
