conda-forge
NumFOCUS Sponsored Project since 2018Conda-forge builds and distributes software packages, specializing in the hard-to-build or unique packages that often arise in a scientific computing context. Conda-forge is community-driven and community-curated. This means that no package is too domain-specific and all packages undergo review to ensure quality and interoperability. Conda-forge has a federated structure, where each package has its own list of maintainers, which anyone can join. This helps ensure that people who care about a package are the ones responsible for maintaining it. The conda-forge ecosystem is fully structured around automation. This lets our maintainers build packages for systems they do not own (like Windows or Mac), keep their packages up-to-date automatically, and ensure their packages maintain the highest level of quality.

Conda-forge is a community-led collection of recipes, build infrastructure and distributions for the conda package manager. Our GitHub organization contains repositories of conda recipes. Thanks to some awesome continuous integration providers (AppVeyor, CircleCI and TravisCI), each repository, also known as a feedstock, automatically builds its own recipe in a clean and repeatable way on Windows, Linux and OSX.
Conda-forge is the preferred way to install large parts of the PyData and R ecosystem. It is used throughout a disparate set of scientific computing domains, from Physics to Biology to Financial Technology and everything in between.
