Agenda items

Let’s collect all potential agenda items here. We will then sort them at the start of the meeting. If there are similar items try and group them already.

• jupyterhub/team-compass#61 - should we adopt ‘third thursday of the month’ as regular slot for the meetings?

  • Third thursday each month has been choosen

• WholeTale coordination

  • can someone attend whole-tale/whole-tale#43

  • October 24th

  • What messages do we want to send?

  • https://docs.google.com/document/d/1bOVWBfhOiKGU2dYoHN_Pkpv5zPI6y819UISfkTqYpoQ/edit

  • if you want to comment or add to the Google Doc plesae do!

• 2 million binders launched! (soon)

• get registered on CMT for Jess so you get credit for submissions

  • https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/User/Login?ReturnUrl=%2F

  • after registering email Jess with the email you used

• internal ssl: jupyterhub/jupyterhub#2055

  • needs support from spawners

  • help test it out!

  • do services get the SSL things they need? (Todo reminder for Min)

• entrypoints for custom classes: jupyterhub/jupyterhub#2203

  • entrypoints are how pytest plugins and pygme lexer extensions work

  • your package can register yourself as “kubernetes” spawner

  • the hub can then ask for the package that provides the “kubernetes” spawner

  • very nice benefit is that jupyterhub can generate config options for all ‘plugins’!

  • standalone package called ‘entrypoints’ used at runtime (written Thomas)

• simplify binderhub helm chart: jupyterhub/binderhub#680

• How do we make it easier for other BinderHubs to be in sync with mybinder.org?

  • start regular releases of repo2docker

  • “so you want to run a BinderHub?” - create docs that help you make choices when running a BinderHub

  • what in mybinder.org-deploy should be promoted to the BinderHub chart

    • for example network policies

    • make the default network policy more like Yuvi’s EdX deployment with HTTPS proxy and SNI inspection?

• Good work being done on the Outreachy mentoring :D 🎉🎉

• jhubctl (WIP): common CLI for deploying jupyterhub on any provider

  • pronounced “hub-cuddle”, it is a silent j
