Two of the PyConDE sprints will be dedicated to the @conda.org ecosystem! I'll lead the session on conda-smithy, one of the tools behind @conda-forge.org! ・📍 Where: Darmstadt, Germany ・📅 When: Monday, Apr 13th 2026 ・🌐 More info: 2026.pycon.de/sprints/#acc...

The conda steering council recently approved a set of CEPs (conda enhancement proposals) that effectively standardize the conda ecosystem. This is a big milestone worth celebrating! 🎉 Full details at conda.org/blog/2026-03...

Read the latest Conda CLI roadmap update! 👉️ buff.ly/zObuTzI Recent highlights + what we’re building next: ⚡ sharded repodata (beta) for much faster metadata fetching 🧰 a safer way to install PyPI packages in conda envs 🔒 native lockfiles support in progress

New article alert! 🌟 "Why Package Installs Are Slow (And How to Fix It)" explains how sharded repodata (CEP-16) delivers 10x faster installs and 90% less bandwidth for conda and Pixi on conda-forge: buff.ly/Zhj0Yxd

Congratulations to our friends at Anaconda for shipping CEP-16 (sharded repodata). If you use conda-forge from anaconda.org servers, pixi & rattler-build got magically a lot faster! conda.org/blog/sharde...

Anaconda.org and conda adopt sharded repodata! 🚀 CEP 16, introduced by @prefix.dev, splits the massive repodata files into per-project shards. This allows clients to only fetch what they need, resulting in significant speedups! Instructions to opt-in and benchmarks at buff.ly/XUSXp9h

Practical Power: Reproducibility, Automation, and Layering with Conda Part 3 of the 3-part series is live! 🚀 Beyond theory into engineering practice: provenance, lockfiles, rolling distribution, and real-world workflows. #conda #packaging #python #reproducibility conda.org/blog/conda-p...

Conda in the Packaging Spectrum: From pip to Docker to Nix If conda is a distribution, where does it fit alongside pip, Docker, and Nix? Part 2 of the 3-part series! 🚀 #conda #packaging #python conda.org/blog/conda-p...

Conda ≠ PyPI Conda isn’t just another Python package manager-it’s a multi-language, user-space distribution system. In this 3-part series, we explore the fundamental differences between conda and PyPI. Part 1 is live now 👇 conda.org/blog/conda-i... #conda #packaging #python

Today we celebrate the 10th anniversary of conda-forge! Our beloved Github organization was created around this time on Apr 11th, 2015. More details: - Blog post: conda-forge.org/blog/2025/04... - Zulip thread: conda-forge.zulipchat.com#narrow/chann...

I wrote a new blog post about using `conda` without any kind of shell modifications. Just the Python entry point directly. No ~/.bashrc or Windows registry edits! Simply one more entry in PATH. rjai.me/posts/2025-0...

Lately, we’ve seen some concern & confusion among our users, so we want to clear things up. In this post, we’re breaking down the #conda ecosystem: tools, channels, installers, and how multi-stakeholder governance ensures the ecosystem remains reliable & accessible for all: https://buff.ly/3YW8uxs

We're excited to announce #conda updates for July 2024! The new releases of conda 24.7.0/24.7.1, conda-build 24.7.0 and conda-libmamba-solver 24.7.0 are now live on Anaconda's main channel and on conda-forge. 🎉

We're excited to announce #conda updates for March 2024! The new releases of conda 24.3.0 and conda-build 24.3.0 are now live on Anaconda's main channel and on conda-forge. For more information about these releases, feel free to check out our detailed blog post at conda.org/blog/2024-03....
