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

  • 2 million binders launched! (soon)

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

  • 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
