+The first "Chatting with the Conda Community" is out! In this episode, Wolf Vollprecht and Filipe Fernandes talk about the origins of conda-forge. Watch the [video here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2oa_RLbTVA).

+Did you ever wonder how & when conda-forge was created? In this first edition of "Chatting with the Conda Community" we are uncovering the origin story of conda-forge.
+
+Other topics:

+- Scientists and their relationship with Software
+- Sustaining open source (and conda-forge)
+- Anecdotes from 9 years of conda-forge
+- Discussing `pixi` and what Filipe thinks about it
+
+Filipe Fernandes (also know as [ocefpaf](https://github.com/ocefpaf)) is a physical oceanographer turned research software engineer, and software packaging hobbyist. He is very passionate about open source software and tries to make Met/Ocean science better with code. Filipe is a conda steering council member and a conda-forge core member.
