+## Introductions
+
+- [ ]
+
+## Announcements
+
+- [ ] Prefix.dev launches pixi: https://prefix.dev/blog/launching_pixi
+- [ ] A dashboard for community packaging metadata: https://conda-metadata-app.streamlit.app/
+  - [ ] DH: Overlap with the datasette project at metayaml.fly.dev
+  - [ ] JRG: It would be interesting to publish the internal sqlite database that conda index maintains :grimacing: Or the `info/` bits of every package.
+
+## New Agenda Items
+
+- [x] (DPC) NumFocus Small Development Grant Proposal
+    - Future project proposals will be vetted by the Conda - NumFOCUS 5
+    - Conda Fundables
+        - We could have a list of things the ecosystem needs that could become small dev grant proposals 
+        - Every few months (every SDG announcement) we can make a call for people who would be interested.
+        - From the Python world: https://github.com/psf/fundable-packaging-improvements/blob/master/FUNDABLES.md
+        - Bring this up with the Steering Council.
+        - Should we have a project wide wishlist?
+        - A fundables repo?
+        - SDGs are only $10K.
+        - Crystal: seems similar to internship projects.
+        - Jannis: Not just about `conda` or about coding.  Doc, infra, web, 
+        - John K: Worth considering how this fits into a longer term vision for the project (roadmap?) 
+
+## TODO
+
+- Anaconda should publish conda-index databases for conda-forge
