when to deploy to mybinder after merging into binderhub (releases of binderhub would mitigate this)
review https://github.com/jupyterhub/mybinder.org-deploy/issues/225

February 2018 Video Call scheduled for February 8, 2018 6pm Zurich time. Details
Chatted with Sylvain + Loic in France, they’re interested in a JupyterHub for French unis.
French HPC/Loic have spent some effort in setting up something that looks very much like binder, interested in maybe using binder/jupyterhub
Hosting on OVH (something like google cloud/AWS but more Euro).
Some ‘JupyterHub federation’ similar to berkeley MOOC work
Prepared a draft blog post (blog.jupyter.org) for the MyBinder browser extension.
try to avoid conflicts with other posts
to get a list of other posts ask steering council/mailing list to find out what other sub-projects are doing
raise as an issue on the weekly Jupyter meeting under communications (Carol) COMPLETED
5.1 Organization highlights¶
Communications, Social Media, Conferences, Outreach
Reaching out to JOSS COMPLETED
Tim is reviewing a paper and will mention that it would have been nice to have a binder link
Ask eLife if they want to fund a project to integrate with binder for their “archive to GitHub” idea?
https://github.com/elifesciences-publications
https://elifesciences.org/inside-elife/dbcb6949/forking-software-used-in-elife-papers-to-github
Tim will send a short email to Naomi to see what they think
Jupyter Days event coming up in March in France.
Conversation with Sylvain and Loic
Date early March (5th??)
300 to 500 attendees
Prepare a blog post annouce (ask Sylvain)
Chris might be in the area, Min will probably go, who else is interested?
JupyterCon CFP website online (restricted access) let’s not try to cram blog post too close to the CFP annouce.
Hackathon with Data Carpentry at BIDS next week (Jan 9th and 10th), Chris H will work on Binder teaching material.
5.2 BinderHub projects¶
BinderHub, mybinder-deploy, helm charts, binder-examples
Security update for meltdownattack.com performed (Thanks Yuvi)
Prod cluster scaled down to 3 nodes and switched from n1-standard class nodes (equal CPU + memory ratio) to n1-highmem (more memory than CPU) based on our usage metrics (as part of meltdownattack.com fix)
npm refactor merged (yay @minrk! @rgbrk & other nteract folks)
playground.mybinder.org now redirects to play.nteract.io (yay cross-promotion) (this was down for Chris H today. Others? (is down for me too, should check with nteract folks)) I just checked again and it’s back up - CH
Works for Matthias, Tim, Chris. Is that exectuing on same machines as MyBinder.org ? (nope it’s not)
Working on fixing binder badge being blocked by privacy badger (https://github.com/jupyterhub/binderhub/issues/379)
our badge.svg is served from same host as some cookies we set which triggers a tracking warning
now served from static.mybinder.org/badge.svg but apparently still triggers warning
how to respect DNT headers?
fix that the GA cookies is set on *.mybinder.org not just the top domain
Loading page PR is almost ready (https://github.com/jupyterhub/binderhub/pull/384)
this is better than watching a washing machine
Looks like Tony Stark Visor in his Iron Man suit.
Matthias has one concern about css animations power draining.
Chris H will give a go at the BinderHub setup instructions w/ a more recent dev version to make sure they’re still correct.
Matthias will rebase the Federation PR. Thoughts on it ?
lots of details to work out, but let’s label it as a prototype
how do we keep versions in sync, how to handle when they are out-of-sync, etc
do we create a separate prototype service from mybinder.org
look into what the grant covers related to federation
which privacy policies apply when on a federated deployment
vision for federation blog post to see what others think?
make sure users see who is providing the CPU to them
step 1 before pushing the federation idea is to start having good releases that users can rely on
More eyes on this deployment process proposal https://github.com/jupyterhub/mybinder.org-deploy/issues/225

JupyterHub, authenticators, spawners, configurable-http-proxy, zero to jupyterhub
