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.

  • Tim - miners :D

  • Erik - Simon have made a lot of work to make the JupyterHub ecosystem arm64 compatible, so RaspberryPI computers etc can be used!!

    • Z2JH images, CHP image, JupyterHub image, jupyter/docker-stacks etc

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.

  • Gerhard Bräunlich (10min):

    • PR 1169 – Allow dynamic repository credentials for authenticated Binderhub instances.

      • Could this provide a git ref from the cache to someone who is not authenticated?

    • PR 1255 – Proxy Support for the build pod

      • Simon to test

    • Automated deployment/testsould be nice

    • Docs on how to test would also be nice!

      • maybe in the form of a “tutorial” in the docs on how to use it

    • Action point: arrange a meeting to discuss how authenticated binderhubs work

  • Tim [10min] - new entrypoint in repo2docker

    • Original PR jupyterhub/repo2docker#1014

    • Follow up issues

    • should we try and make a coordianted effort to look at and deal with the various issues that have been opened related to this?

    • I don’t know much about them, just seen several appear in my notifications

    • Looks like they are more “annoying” than critical bugs. We should get around to fixing them but not blocking people right now.

  • Mridul [2 min] - Interest in merging persistent_binderhub with upstream?

    • Would close jupyterhub/binderhub#377

    • lots of people request/want this when they think about running a BinderHub for their organisation

    • Would be a new PR, ping @g-braeunlich

    • Support for this, ensuring that the knowledge to use and test is brought into the team

  • Yuvi [5min] - Demo of notebook publishing with ipynb.pub

    • Fastest way to publish notebooks on the web

    • Upload notebook (lab / notebook extensions soon), share link with anyone

    • Opt-in annotations with hypothes.is

    • Jupytext supported

    • Example with Annotations from Leah

    • Help wanted: Useful to run as a JupyterHub service

    • Question: Authentication?

    • some cross over/useful to talk about when thinking about the “standby pods” idea in BinderHub

    • URL support for nbgitpuller - get a repo vs see a notebook

    • Git repo: ipynb-pub/ipynb.pub

  • Tim [5min] - GitLab docker registry problems
