Actions#

  1. Help or discussion needed; Agenda Items for Monthly Meeting 1.1. Open PRs

    • helm chart labeling and yaml updates: jupyterhub/zero-to-jupyterhub-k8s#625

      • please help test it before we land it

      • big PR so getting it merged soon is important

      • if you have particular on/off toggle in their many combinations that would be useful

      • could be as simple as finding syntax errors, because we have a combinatorial explosion of possible options

      • try out upgrading from an old version of the chart to a new version

      • as part of the travis setup we could test this upgrade by first installing master and then upgrading (new PR, new task)

        • Erik’s experience of Travis: 0, help appreciated!

      • Pulled out changes from PR#625

      • We need to ensure that the helm upgrade --force does not recreate PVCs.

3.2. Open issues

  • jupyterhub/zero-to-jupyterhub-k8s#691

    • get started with this by documenting the existing steps you have to take

    • which image needs changing

    • where do files need to go

    • Would they be able to completely remove the Jupyter logo/branding somewhere in the interface?

    • we should add some footer or “gray scale” logo to the templates so that there is always some connection to JupyterHub

    • Tim, Jessica and Chris will tackle this via issue XXX

    • Related: binderhub/#540

  • z2jh helm chart release

  • Scipy 2018 paper (binderhub/#529)

    • if we want to fix/change things we should do that now

    • if there are comments from reviewers we can start replying to them as soon as they appear

    • Thank you Jessica for all the iterations!

    • Build issues scipy_proceedings/#12

    • bibtex is broken :(

      • issue is using files with _ in their name (generally a TeX issue)

  • PEARC 2018 (zero-to-jupyterhub-k8s/#643)

    • the event is pronounced Perk (if you were wondering like Tim)

    • Aaron and Jessica (maybe) and Yuvi (maybe) will help with this

    • Aaron is the champion and we should try and connect with him

    • Erik would like to help out with the JupyterHub > Cloud deployment as a way to prepare material for the JupyterCon tutorial

  • Build-a-binder workshops betatim/build-a-binder
