| ## Community Gathering Spaces | ||
|
|
||
| It has been a busy year for creating and consolidating online gathering spaces for the conda community. We now have a community website, a Q&A/forum site, a unified chat platform, a mailing list, and more. See **[Pinak Datta's recent post](/blog/2023-06-22-conda-spaces-blogpost)** for a complete list and links. | ||
|
|
||
| ### Community calls | ||
|
|
||
| Please join us every other week to learn what is going on in the conda community and to provide your input. | ||
|
|
||
| * The Mamba project has [bi-weekly community calls](https://hackmd.io/iOgkxNMpTea6lWczjCov9Q?view) on Tuesdays. Our next call is on June 27. | ||
| * The overall conda community has [bi-weekly calls](https://hackmd.io/@conda-community?tags=%5B%22meeting-notes%22%5D) on Wednesdays. The next one is on July 5. | ||
|

|
||
| ## Upcoming events | ||
|
|
||
| [<Image img={scipybanner} alt="Banner image for SciPy2023"/>](https://www.scipy2023.scipy.org/) | ||
|
|
||
| ### SciPy 2023 Conda & Friends Sprint, July 15-16, Austin | ||
|
|
||
| ***Probably.*** *We have proposed a sprint for SciPy, but we haven't heard back. In the past the conference has approved our requests. So, until that happens, we are *tentatively* announcing that there will be a Conda & Friends sprint at SciPy, but we reserve the right to take it back if our foresight skills are weak.* | ||
|
|
||
| > The conda community will again be meeting at [SciPy 2023](https://www.scipy2023.scipy.org/) in Austin, Texas for two days of collaborative work. | ||
| > | ||
| > [Sprints](https://www.scipy2023.scipy.org/sprints) are open to everyone who is interested in contributing to the various projects in the conda ecosystem (e.g. projects under the [conda](https://github.com/conda), [conda-incubator](https://github.com/conda-incubator), [mamba-org](https://github.com/mamba-org), [conda-forge](https://github.com/conda-forge), etc.), what we call "conda and friends". | ||
| > | ||
| > First and foremost, **the goal of conda community sprints is to grow the conda contributor community**. We mean "contributor" in the broadest possible sense: not just code, but also documentation, bug reports, forum questions (and answers), community events, new tools and plugins, and of course, new pull requests for existing tools too. | ||

|
|
||
| [<Image img={packagingcon} alt="Banner image for PackagingCon 2023"/>](https://packaging-con.org/) | ||
|
|
||
| ### PackagingCon 2023, October 26-28, Berlin | ||
|
|
||
| [**PackagingCon 2023**](https://packaging-con.org/) brings together the software packaging community to present and discuss common challenges and unique solutions to software packaging. The conference is open to all packaging communities, including language-specific, OS-specific, and broader solutions such as conda. | ||
|
|
||
| **[Abstract submission](https://cfp.packaging-con.org/2023/cfp) and [early registration](https://ti.to/packagingcon/packagingcon-2023) are now open for PackagingCon**. | ||
|
|
||
| PackagingCon 2023 will be held October 26-28 in Berlin, and will be a hybrid event. The call for submissions closes July 31. Early registration ends September 8, *but (in-person) space is limited and you are encouraged to register early.* | ||
|
|
||
| ## Rattler! | ||
|
|
||
| <Image img={rattler} alt="Banner image for Rattler, from GitHub project"/> | ||
|
|
||
| **[rattler](https://github.com/mamba-org/rattler) is a new collection of Rust libraries to work with conda packages made by the [prefix.dev](https://prefix.dev/) team!** | ||
|
|
||
| * rattler 0.3.0 just came out with lots of highlights, such as JLAP support, local `file://` urls, and authenticated requests with the new `rattler_networking`. See the full (and impressive) [changelog](https://github.com/mamba-org/rattler/releases/tag/v0.3.0) for more. | ||
|
|
||
| **[rattler-build](https://prefix.dev/blog/the_new_rattler_build)** is built on top of rattler to facilitate the creation of conda packages. It already _works_ very well and is much faster than conda-build. To push this effort forward, we started multiple conda enhancement proposals. Engage with us and the conda community on a forward-looking YAML format that is easy to parse (pure YAML) and keeps most of the conda-build functionalities! | ||
|
|
||
| * A [new YAML format](https://github.com/conda-incubator/ceps/pull/54). | ||
| * Integration with VSCode for the [new YAML format with automatic syntax linting](https://github.com/conda-incubator/ceps/pull/56#issuecomment-1593118521). | ||
| * A new way to [define multiple outputs and tests](https://github.com/conda-incubator/ceps/pull/56). | ||
| * A new test for [file existence inside of packages](https://github.com/conda-incubator/ceps/pull/57). | ||

| ## Community channel updates | ||
|
|
||
| [<Image img={cf} alt="conda-forge logo, with text"/>](https://conda-forge.org/) | ||
|
|
||
| ### conda-forge | ||
|
|
||
| **conda-forge has a Google Summer of Code project to update the [project website](https://conda-forge.org/)**. [Asmit Malakannnawar](https://asmitbm.github.io/) will be working on the update for the next few months. The update will provide an intuitive and usable user experience that also passes SpeedPage and [WAVE](https://wave.webaim.org/) tests, and that moves the site closer to [WCAG 2](https://www.w3.org/WAI/standards-guidelines/wcag/) conformance. He'll also produce a site style guide. Have ideas? [Reach out to Asmit](https://asmit.bio.link/). | ||
|

|
|
||
| [<Image img={bioconda} alt="Bioconda logo"/>](https://bioconda.github.io/) | ||
|
|
||
| ### Bioconda | ||
|
|
||
| The [Bioconda project](https://bioconda.github.io/) has conducted a major rebuild of its packages, updating to the latest dependency pinnings of conda-forge. This entails using gcc 12 on linux and clang 15 on macOS, as well as using openssl 3. While most packages could be updated flawlessly, there are various remainders that are currently being skipped. *Your help in fixing them would be greatly appreciated.* Just choose a recipe from **[this list](https://github.com/bioconda/bioconda-recipes/wiki/build-failures)**, check the provided build logs and create a PR with your solution to fix the failures. Sometimes, it could be as easy as updating to the latest upstream version. | ||
