Triage topics

Should some of the core Numba folks request access to CF feedstocks for LLVM/llvmlite/Numba so as to be able to help with/fix issues more easily? Would it be helpful/make a difference to the turnaround for releasing the packages on CF?
- Graham suggests we open a pull-request against CF repo as part of release process.
- Val will work with Graham for the next release to run CF builds ahead of time.
Graham is away next Tuesday - still OK to FPOC?
- Siu to swap with Graham

Public topics

Siu Show&Tell: multi-level dialect in Python, EGG rewrites, extensible inference
- demo notebook

numba#9247 - Surveying explicit uses of nopython=False
- We think the conclusion is that there's no issue with folks needing nopython=False. Most problems are miscommunication.
numba#9251 - Named argument parsing for jit decorated functions does not match Python 3.10
- Fix for issue likely to be the same for all versions
- Dipto presently looking into this and aiming to open a PR
