Wolf Vollprecht

Wolf studied robotics at ETH Zurich and Stanford University. After completion, he worked on many impactful Open Source projects: xtensor, xsimd, jupyter, jupyterlab and more. Most recently he initiated the mamba package manager alongside the boa and quetz projects and supports conda-forge as a core developer.

Wolf also started the RoboStack project to streamline the installation of robotic software on Windows, OS X and Linux, and pushed the intersection of data science and robotics by bringing Robotics to Project Jupyter.

conda-forge: supporting the growth of the volunteer-driven, community-based packaging project
Wolf Vollprecht, Jannis Leidel, Jaime Rodríguez-Guerra

The conda-forge project is one of the fastest growing Open Source communities out there – and most data scientists have probably heard of it. In this talk we explain the inner workings of conda-forge, its relationship to conda and PyPI, and we will explain how everyone can package software with conda-forge.

conda-forge, mamba, boa and quetz - the evolution of package management for data science and beyond
Wolf Vollprecht

Mamba is a fast, cross-platform and language independent package manager that is fully compatible with conda packages.
It has enabled the conda-forge project to scale way beyond what was previously possible.
In this talk we present further innovations in the mamba ecosystem, including boa, a new build tool based on mamba and quetz, an open-source and extensible package server for conda packages.
