      • Basically when a version tag is committed to master, the conda forge process activates
    • I'll review once Newman is ready
  • PM, specifically the project board idea
    • Folks like this idea and we'll automation so when closing an issue, it gets moved to Done
    • We'll give it a try since it supports better async work, more collaborators, less PM burden, less in person meetings, etc.
• Update on issues
  • An updated release (+ improved release procedures) is coming soon
    • Jeff Newman working on it and then I'll review/try
  • We're still working on the couple performance improvements (maz-to-maz cost lookups and chunk logging)
    • Runtimes much better but maybe a couple more improvements possible, I'll keep looking in cooperation with Enrique and Stefan
    • Plan to include in the upcoming release
  • See comments in issues
