Notes:

Governance

• Propose a move to Jupyter?
• Or create own organization CoC and governance document.

Design

• New logos applied across the board.

Voila Reveal

• Marianne Corvellec wrote a new template for slideshows based on RevealJS using the same metadata for notebooks.

Full Async

• jupyter_client, jupyter_protocol, jupyter_kernel_mgmt

must be full async to handle multiple voila requests at the same time.

Kevin Bates is working on that problem in jupyter_client first for the lifetime management of kernels.

Jupyter_server

• 50-60 PRs from notebook ported to jupyter_server by Zach Sailer.
• Using jupyter_server in notebook and lab?
  • Brian involved in discussion
  • Should we do it directly in jupyter/notebook and make a major release?
  • Jason, Steve, Brian apparently onboard with the idea.
• Voila uses a hack on top of pytest to test async code. How can we

open-source directions

• November 8th at 12pm eastern

nbconvert

• break all the templates in Voilà / nbconvert to enable “hot-swapping” templates between nbconvert and voila.
  • This may be useful to the jupyter-book project as well.
