TLJH blog post series - Githubissues

GeorgianaElena commented 4 years ago

Hey all!

A blog post about TLJH is just around the corner :rocket: (ref: https://github.com/jupyterhub/team-compass/issues/95) There will probably be a TLJH series if everyone believes is a good idea to split the info about TLJH in multiple blog posts (more info about this idea here).

Although initially there were supposed to be 3 technical posts, the first blog post turned into a superhero kids story inspired from this video of Kubernetes :yellow_heart:

There is a draft of the superhero story on Medium here and the hackmd with this story + the first technical blog post.

I would love if people could share their thoughts on this.

This is great! I will take a look tomorrow

I love the medium story, how clever! You should also make it a talk, I think it would play really well at a python meetup or something like that :-)

A few questions/thoughts:

Where did those GIFs come from? Those are neat!
I wonder if, instead of using the word "relocate", we could say something like "decided to rent a house" or "sent a friend to check it out". JupyterHub didn't really "leave" its old home, it just opened more offices elsewhere ;-)
What's your goal from blog post 1? I think it's fun to read, and gives a high level view of some of the major pieces in the JupyterHub community. It isn't going to leave readers with a clear view of what, exactly, TLJH is, but maybe that is fine since we'll follow up with the subsequent blog posts. Just wanna see what you think about this.

For blog post 2, I think this is a good topic to focus on...dig into some information about what these tools are and when to use them. I'm happy to iterate on that one after post 1 goes up

I wonder if this could be illustrated one day, kind of like how @kirstiejane and @sgibson91 do with The Turing Way :-)

I'm very happy you liked it @choldgraf :sparkles:

It would be amazing if we could illustrate the story. To be honest I tried to do it myself and failed (obviously) :smile:

For the GIFs I've spent some time (maybe more than necessary :woman_facepalming:) watching some tutorials and used Pencil2D to make them. I thought they look a bit funny and wasn't sure if I should add them :eyes:

Sure! I really like "sent a friend to check it out".

My initial idea was to have the story be just a short introductory paragraph. But I started having fun writing it and couldn't keep it short. So I believe the goal would be that people have fun reading it (like I did writing it) and get an idea abut how cool TLJH and Z2JH are before presenting the technical side of it.

@choldgraf @GeorgianaElena There's an awesome new Jupyter illustration on Zenodo here (called Jupyter.jpg): https://zenodo.org/record/3695300#.XmEXBpP7QWo

GeorgianaElena commented 4 years ago

It would look amazing in the superhero story :heart: Mind if I use it?

sgibson91 commented 4 years ago

Absolutely not, just use the attribution at the top of the Zenodo link. It's all CC-BY 😄

I've added the awesome illustration recommended by @sgibson91 (thanks :yellow_heart: ) and submitted the draft to Jupyter blog for review :rocket:

choldgraf commented 4 years ago

Hey @GeorgianaElena - I think it's a nice little story :-) I made some very small edits, but I'd be fine publishing next week. What do others think? Maybe @sgibson91 can decide if the TW illustration looks good in there?

What do folks think about adding a short paragraph at the beginning like:

This is the first of a series of posts describing tools in the JupyterHub ecosystem, written by our wonderful Contributor in Residence, Georgiana. For our first post, we'll share the lore of Jupyter-land, and tell you a story of how it all got started...

sgibson91 commented 4 years ago

I think the illustration looks great!

choldgraf commented 4 years ago

Posted the first entry! Please share and re-tweet etc! Thanks @GeorgianaElena for putting together such a fun story :-)

I believe this can be closed.
