Please add yourself, and if you do not have an update to share, you can pass. - Introduction/Welcome of new Jupyter Community Events Manager: Gayle Ollington ## Reports and celebrations This is a place to make announcements (without a need for discussion). This is also a great place to give shout-outs to contributors! We'll read through these at the beginning of the meeting. - Congratulations to the latest JupyterHub [Jupyter Distinguished Contributor](https://blog.jupyter.org/congratulations-distinguished-contributors-bc349fa60d68) 🎉 🚀 ⭐ ## Agenda items Let's collect all potential agenda items here before the start of the meeting. We will then attempt to create a coherent agenda that fits in the 60m meeting slot. If there are similar items try and group them together. - **Min (5m):** Adopting Jupyter governance nomenclature (rename "core team" "JupyterHub council" ) [issue](https://github.com/jupyterhub/team-compass/issues/497) - Jupyter-wide governance restructure - There will be a "council" for each subproject, this is similar to our core team - We should align our terminology, but there's not much else to do - Maybe think about how our colour teams fit into this as well (maybe go to "active" or "inactive") - Check in with everyone give people opportunity to step-back if they wish - Check ins for active/inactive status: we should revisit that policy! - Emeritus members: honours their contributor but sounds more "distinguished" - We need a longer discussion on this, but definitely feels like the colour system is not having the desired effect - How do we not set the barrier too high for onboarding people to give them responsibilities without inducting them into a "council"? - **Chris (10m?):** Funding situation with Binder, and plans for fundraising? - Our stop-gap funding from Google ran out in late February! - 2i2c covered the GKE bill for a few weeks, and it is currently funded by Simula - NumFocus created an account that we could use for donations: - Issue to discuss a stopgap fund for Binder: - Can we use multicluster spawner to scale certain clusters to zero? - Hub pod scaling would be an issue - An Azure/AWS cluster not owned by a specific institution would be helpful - Better separation between BinderHub on GKE and centralized analytics on GKE would help (federation-redirect, matomo, events archive) - Thanks Chris for all the efforts on this front! - NumFocus now has a link for donating to Binder: - **Callum** turing status: - turing funding currently ran out, and turing's involvement in the cluster has been paused () - current request under discussion would give us capacity to support 200 pods + staging cluster (i.e. the situation before pausing). - in discussions to reserve instances for 3 years - **Yuvi (10m?):** Collaborate with jupyter notebook community in making sure JupyterHub is ready for the notebook v7 transition - - Should we be able to run the 'new' notebook v7 UI and old classic notebook UI in the same JupyterHub? - Just the *UI* - similar to `nbclassic` now, not the whole server. - Often multiple courses / instructors use the same hub, and need different UIs. - *Currently*, it is not possible to use the new UI and old classic notebook UI side-by-side in the same JupyterHub - Please chime in on the Issue - Note: Classic UI has been a contentious issue in our community, so please be even more thoughtful than usual when engaging :) - - **Yuvi (5m?):** Preparing nbgitpuller for notebook v7 - nbgitpuller currently fundamentally depends on classic notebook assets being present to work - to get CSS & JS - This is an accidental complexity, can / should be fixed. - Currently, it will just break in weird ways if notebook package is not installed - Need to decide on what the behavior would be for *existing* links that point to classic notebook, related to point above - ![](https://i.imgur.com/FAZj2Yf.png) - While we're here, would appreciate review on - Community idea: JupyterHub admin's guide to notebook v7 (e.g. as a blog)
