Agenda items#

This is what we’ll cover in the meeting (we have about 60m in total). We’ll copy the proposed agenda topics above here just before the meeting.

  • Removing insensitive language from our repos

    • Originally posed by Chris here: jupyterhub/team-compass#299

    • start work on renaming things like blacklist/whitelist

    • renaming git branches and associated tooling will be the second thing to do

    • waiting a little bit to see what GitHub and other projects are doing so that we end up doing the same thing

    • short blog post when we deprecate the old names with a timeline of how long they will continue to exist and when they will be removed

    • need to be a bit careful with dropping names because that might allow logins/repos/etc to work which were blocked

  • Min introducing Vilde and our summer project to survey / analyze repos with repo2docker.

  • Tim “Binder button”

    • jupyterhub/mybinder.org-deploy#1462

    • Thoughts and wisdom on injecting JS into “all” webpages?

    • How to do it?

      • Sidecar proxy in all singleuser pods?

      • modify CHP to inject things there

    • What could go wrong?

      • Simon My main concern is for javascript heavy apps where inserting a new DOM element could break them. In other cases it could disrupt the layout.

  • Erik 1-2 min summary of new Z2JH developer setup

  • Open mic
