SciPy 2024 conference Jupyter project update

[ivanov]

In recent years, the SciPy Conference has had a Tools Plenary that gives short (~3 minute) talk slots to a bunch of the projects in the ecosystem. Jupyter was again invited to participate this year, and the SciPy conference runs next week, with the Tools Plenary running on each of the three days of talks (July 10th-12)

Last year, @willingc and I (@ivanov) gave the update ( video ), and the year prior I believe it was @jasongrout and @marthacryan (video)

Who is coming to SciPy this year and would like to give this update? I will send an email out to get this issue some extra visibility.

Please leave a comment if you'd like to help put together the slides and/or present, but if you just want to indicate that you'll be at SciPy, you can leave a :rocket: reaction. <3

I will be at SciPy and would love to help out with any announcements about the inclusion of JupyterBook / MyST in the Jupyter Project. We will also (hopefully) be giving a lightning talk about the proceedings, which is running on Curvenote / MyST.

[ivanov]

I should have said that I'll also be at SciPy, but want to let others step up to the opportunity.

There are some other MyST/Jupyter Book folks joining as well, and I encourage jupyter people to give them all a friendly hello as newcomers to the jupyter community!

[marthacryan]

I'll also be at SciPy! I also want to let others step up but I'll be around to help if needed :)

[mwcraig]

I'll be at SciPy and am happy to help. I'm willing to present but also content not to.

@gabalafou did you end up dragging this into "Done" as it was discussed at the SSC working meeting, and did anyone at the meeting want to pitch in to make this presentation happen?

I haven't heard from anyone other than those who chimed in on this issue. I started a presentation document in the Jupyter Governance shared drive, but others will have to populate the content, as I have other responsibilities to take care of this week.

[marthacryan]

When I was working on this 2 years ago, I remember the toughest part was just getting a concise update from all of the subprojects. Maybe we can tag all of the subprojects and ask them to comment a few bullet points about the last year / what's coming up for them in this thread?

[jasongrout]

A thought: maybe the SSC reps can drive the updates from each subproject? (Not that they have to do it themselves, but they can ping people and make sure it gets done?)

[marthacryan]

I like that idea! Anyone tagged below: Can you comment a short update on recent updates for the subproject you represent in the SSC?

@gabalafou (Accessibility), @ivanov (Foundations and Standards), @JohanMabille (Kernels), @jtpio (Frontends), @marthacryan (DEI), @martinRenou (Voilà), @minrk (JupyterHub and Binder), @rpwagner (Security), @SylvainCorlay (Widgets), @vidartf (Server)

[ivanov]

I also just sent out another email, this time to the union of councils seeking updates. Anyone who doesn't have access to the presentation yet can just add a comment for what they think should go in the updates here.

[ivanov]

An update: we will need slides ready by end of day Thursday, and our talk slot will be on Friday. Those that expressed interest and are the conference have been invited to a private channel on the SciPy2024 conference slack.

[Ruv7]

Thanks for coordinating! I added a few slides of content from the EC directly into the deck. The team who is presenting should feel oki to move that content around as the deck starts to get built. Note that the section for technical updates is not meant to be comprehensive, simply a starting point for folks to add highlights from the subprojects.

[fperez]

Excellent, thanks @Ruv7!

[JasonWeill]

I'm at SciPy, and while I don't have corporate approval from my employer to present this update, I can help prepare it. Met up with @ivanov and @marthacryan, happy to help!

Hi all, here is a short summary from the jupyter server subproject. Due to the time-sensitive nature here, I wasn't able to run this by the server team. I kept it high level, so it shouldn't been raise any issues from folks. No pressure to use this if you feel it's too late.

Jupyter Server is thriving!

• We meet on Thursdays, at 8am Pacific on Zoom. Come join us and meet the team! Everyone and anyone is welcome to join.
• This year has been focused on building the server-side architecture for real-time collaboration (as an extension)! Try it out!

We've got a few points from JupyterHub on https://github.com/jupyterhub/team-compass/issues/731 feel free to pick/choose/edit if you haven't already

[ivanov]

one of the big things that I think should be talked about is the proposed move away from NumFOCUS and to Linux Foundation as a fiscal sponsor, along with a creation of a 501c6 industry tradegroup - which is a vote that's currently under way: https://github.com/jupyter/governance/pull/226

[ivanov]

Thank you everyone who pitched and helped us out. Update delivered!

Here's a photos of us at SciPy!
