Purpose#

Think of it as a monthly, virtual JupyterCon. It’s a place to announce and share fun things happening in the Jupyter community.

For more discussion on the format of these calls, see the thread here.

Short reports, celebrations, shout-outs#

This is a place to make short announcements (without a need for discussion).

  • Matt Fisher The GeoJupyter open source community recently announced its launch and started bi-weekly hackathons. Hope you can join us to enable more people to confidently engage with geospatial data in JupyterLab! GeoJupyter is NOT an official Project Jupyter subproject.

  • Mike Krassowski JupyterLab 4.4 beta will be released today :crossed_fingers:

  • Chris Holdgraf the Turing Way just upgraded their book to Jupyter Book 2! https://book.the-turing-way.org/
