+1. It would be great to transition the work the current Windows
Installer is doing to conda if possible.

Hi there,
I am also a +1 for this. I taught only one workshop, but conda made
my life a lot easier. Windows, OSX, and Linux people got a standard
environment for the class with little pain. All we had to do was to
install conda and distribute an environment.yaml. (The same
environment.yaml was used to create a binder [2] for those who could
not install anything in their laptop.)
I maintain the IOOS channel and I am glad to help in this effort too.
I also want to mention conda-forge [2]. It is an effort to avoid
effort duplication and increase the collaboration in maintaining conda
recipes. I believe conda-forge goals are very similar to SWC lessons
in that regard ;-)

Best,

Sounds like a great idea. Just for reference, there are a number
of big conda recipe collection/metapackage efforts that might be
worth looking at for examples of tooling involved in creating and
building recipes:
https://github.com/omnia-md/conda-recipes
https://github.com/bioconda/recipes
https://github.com/ioos/conda-recipes
I also maintain my company’s internal conda metapackage, so I’d be
happy to help out if I can.

OK. Two thumbs up means get started.
A repo in the SWC github org is probably where the swc-*
metapackages belong. Please do make a repo for me. For recipes
I'm building out that's more general purpose (git for windows,
nano), I'm planning on keeping them at conda-recipes.
Org is up https://anaconda.org/swc; I added you (jiffyclub) to
the owners.
Link coming soon, over the next couple of days.

This sounds like a really neat idea, go for it! I'm
interested in helping with the org. Do you want a repo in the
SWC github org to store the package metadata? Please let us
know how it goes and link us to your instructions/materials
when they are up. - Matt

Would anyone object to me creating an Anaconda.org
organization for SWC? I would like to build packages and
put them there so that during setup, people can basically
do:
(install miniconda)
conda install -c swc swc-python
where the -c swc would be the channel, and swc-python
would be a metapackage that I'll create to pull in
Python, nano, git, etc. as necessary - basically a
one-stop shop for any platform. There could be other
metapackages, perhaps swc-python, swc-r, or whatever.
This runs parallel to the swc installer
(https://github.com/swcarpentry/windows-installer), but
might be simpler, since one could customize metapackages
based on what kind of course was being taught.
If no one objects, I'd like to do this this weekend in
preparation for my teaching this week. I'm also happy to
add other SWC folks to the organization to help with
upkeep and to add stuff. Just reply to me offline.
Let me know...
Mike
