While I was at @pydataparis.bsky.social , I did not spend much time on @conda-forge.org, but in that week, at least some important milestones happened for the Python 3.14 migration, e.g. unblocking everything that depends on pandas.

In our little deep dive series we're now exploring how cross-compilation in the Conda ecosystem works: prefix.dev/blog/cross-c.... Back in the days, @conda-forge.org rolled this out widely to support osx-arm64 early on, and now for linux-aarch64/ppc64le.
Cross compiling in the Conda ecosystem
Cross compiling is a fundamental capability in modern software development, allowing developers to build packages for different architectures without needing access to the target hardware.

The amazing @catppuccintheme has chosen the magic wand as the icon for a Pixi manifest. Should we make it the official Pixi logo?

Ever wondered where all my GitHub contributions come from? I have document a week's worth of @conda-forge.org contributions: uwekorn.com/2025/09/18/w...

Our server has recently delivered more than 1.000.000 packages for the first time. We've hit that mark a few more times since. Seeing this constant growth is fascinating and we are confident that our infrastructure will scale well beyond this number!

It's always a pleasure to get invoices from Azure. Why? Because it means our @condaforge.org sponsorship is being used! We have been sponsoring a big Windows machine through CirunHQ for the past year to build PyTorch, libmagma, and other hard-to-build software for Windows.

Mutex packages are a useful mechanism to guide the solver towards certain dependencies, mutually excluding other dependency trees.
