Pinned Items

• Zoom instructions: +How to connect to zoom

---

New items

• Discussing binary size and stripping options (~~-S~~, ~~-s~~, ~~-0s~~)
  • Solved. Not worth pursuing and the recommend is to strip after if space is an issue.

Previous items

• Compiler rebuild status
  • python done for both compiler stacks
  • Qt: try to build on Azure?
• (DISCUSSED/Postponed) New approach to reducing CI load https://github.com/conda-forge/conda-forge.github.io/issues/647
  • Might be possible to not be totally insecure with work. But nobody is volunteering to do that work right now. :)
  • Pushing PR builds to a staging channel might be a nice UX improvement so you can test anyway.
• Copying packages to gcc7 label https://github.com/conda-forge/conda-smithy/issues/892
  • MPI metapackage
  • Just wait for new conda 4.6 with strict channel priority, and then add main label to those builds
• (DISCUSSED/Postponed)Mergify = auto-merge version bump PRs when CIs pass?
  • https://github.com/conda-forge/conda-forge-maintenance/issues/49
  • Worry about bot not detecting dependency changes
  • Definitely opt-in only at first
  • One possibility: only after an approved review (so you can say "merge assuming CIs pass")
• Add overlinking error flag by default?
