Hi all,

Summary of Tuesday meeting, I was busy so didn’t found time to polish
this one until today.

After two weeks of absence we are back from JupyterCon! It was an
awesome conference, stay tuned for more. As ususal I do my best to do
these weekly summaries, I of course miss many weeks, but our meetings
are public, and the notes on a collaborative document so feel free to
participate. Video meeting is at 9am PST every Tuesday, this week
video can be found here.

Weekly news by organization

IPython
Jupyter
JupyterLab
Jupyter-widgets
JupyterHub

Note: weekly news is available via the Dropbox Paper files or stored
in this news repo.

Migration of the Blog

The blog has been (partially) moved to Medium (here is the new blog,
we need to make an announcement on the old blog and/or make redirect
using CloudFlare. Kyle says it’s possible. We also need to document
how to publish a blog post now. Apparently you need to create a Medium
acount, write a draft and submit it to the Jupyter-blog collection.

We updated ghost (current/old blog engine) to 1.0, during the update
many images got lost. We should pull them out from an old backup.

The importation of the old blog post into medium removed authorship
(everything appear as ProjectJupyter). It should not be the case for
new posts
.
Matthias is not happy about medium nagging him that he has read more
than two medium post this month, and wonder if we can deactivate it as
an org for jupyter-blog articles ?

We are wondering if it is possible to write medium articles offline
using markdown and import them. IT should be, but it is not native see

And how it works:

renaming of License files.

Some breakage occured, we decided to rename Copying.md to License as
many tools look for License, though this broke downstream packaging.
Indeed, some sdists are created with Manifest.in to tell which file to
include and this file was not changed to reflect the renaming of
Copying, leading to sdists without licenses, which some downstream
packagers (linux/mostly) will reject.

We need help to re-review all PRs that renamed Licenses.

How to test with CI / should it be tested with CI ? One possibility is
to use check-manifest.

Documentation (Jessica)

Sprint was great success, following up on outstanding PRs
https://github.com/jupyterlab/extension-cookiecutter-ts/issues/24 CC-0
for cookie cutters?
Need to follow up on details from user testing
Figure out how to move older language and document changes in
licensing standards e.g.
https://github.com/jupyter/nbconvert/blob/master/LICENSE

JupyterLab (Steve, Darian)

We released 7.0 (and several follow-up patch releases). We also
