Hello everyone, welcome to the 24th edition of the Jupyter Weekly summary. You can find today’s short video here and the archive versions of these summaries here.

The link to the raw notes can be found here:

Weekly news by organization

here is a quick summary of across various orgs:

Weekly news is available via the Dropbox Paper files or stored in this news repo.

Documentation (Jessica)

Jessica is at a conference so was unavailable for the meeting.
Jessica started using Jason’s jupyterlab demo to build initial user documentation, and
ran into installation errors with environment build (see this issue):

  • Jupyterlab widgets needs release information in github
  • Jupyterlab-geojson needs new versions released on pypi
  • Because of dependency conflicts, I can’t run the demo as in the current repo
  • Other issues regarding ease of installation could be considered
  • Brian has moved demo to main jupyterlab repo and I have rights now
    • Brian suggests I make a new version of the demo that doesn’t include the additional jupyterlab libraries
    • Created PR to merge in Jason’s changes to Brian’s original repo
      • What’s the review process here? I just added Brian as a reviewer since I’m unfamiliar
  • I will be using videos of demos from youtube to build high level user content in the meanwhile

Notebook (Grant, Thomas)

We have a request for 5.1, and it has been a couple of months since 5.0. We want to push a new release out that brings a couple of fixes (Non English Keyboard Layout) and a couple of new features.

Services - kernel gateway, docker-stacks, nbviewer (Peter, Chris Holdgraff, Yuvi)

Kernel gateway 2.0 release (compatible with notebook >=5.0) changelog. Kernel gateway 1.2.2 release (compatible with notebook <5.0) with key bug fixes. Lots of focus / PRs against docker-stacks to make the containers easier to use in Kubernetes and Marathon

JupyterLab (Steve, Darian, Chris)

JupyterHub (Min, Carol)

Work continues on the next JupyterHub release and Kubernetes deployment of JupyterHub.

IPython (Matthias) / Disp (Matthias,Kyle)

Nothing really noteworthy under the sun. If you are a spark user, please have a look at disp it provides representation for object which do not have _repr_*_ method. If you know of any commonly use objects that woudl benefit form it, please open issues and send PRs.

Other Technical Notes (plumbing packages, etc.)

Thomas would still like to work out this proposal: https://github.com/jupyter/jupyter_client/pull/261 , but is fairly busy at the moment.
