The Data-Platform team currently makes use of Miniconda to provide a number of Anaconda based environments.
These include:
- conda-analytics - https://gitlab.wikimedia.org/repos/data-engineering/conda-analytics/-/merge_requests/52
- airflow - https://gitlab.wikimedia.org/repos/data-engineering/airflow-dags/-/merge_requests/829
- mediawiki-content-dump
As well as some other projects that make use of WMF Data Workflow Utils
Anaconda has announced that the licensing for their software will be changing in such a way that non-profit and academic institutions will have to start paying for their software.

We may want to start thinking about a migration from Miniconda to Miniforge, before this becomes a problem.
