• Frederic

  • JupyterLab GitHub org clean-up
    Issues opened on the repositories
  • I'll open discussion on the team-compass about:
    • Member rights on GitHub: org owner, release power
      [Darian] Suggestion for the release group to add people that volunteers for doing the release and then once a year (TBC)
      [Nick] Need to spread the release power accross multiple stakeholder (+1 from Mike)
    • Versioning: changing principle to move away from bumping the major version from all packages to align with Python package. We should discuss a bit more in details what will be the new way to adapt the maintenance tooling.

• Accessibility call 15 min after this call slot

• Mike

  • Making extensions depend on JupyterLab v4 and Notebook v7 without depending on either, e.g. spellchecker
    • dynamic install_requires in setuptools
    • should we an option to generate it dynamically in hatch-jupyter-builder?
  • Unassigned regressions in 4.0:
    • Styling issues in console (Python)
    • "Create new view for output" in jupyter lab 4.0.0 not working as before
    • Syntax highlighting for Python built-in functions does not work with JupyterLab 4.0.0
    • Horizontal scrolling unavailable in Firefox
  • Needs review:
    • Open files from errors [Frederic] Looking into this by Friday
    • Propagate command changed signal in semantic commands. [Frederic] I cannot review it as it is mine
    • Make package importable in node.js - should we remove the label from this one? [Frederic] Yes - we should probably close it.

2.1.2 No Keyboard Trap: If keyboard focus can be moved to a component of the page using a keyboard interface, then focus can be moved away from that component using only a keyboard interface, and, if it requires more than unmodified arrow or tab keys or other standard exit methods, the user is advised of the method for moving focus away. (Level A)

There is issue to fix linked to textarea in outputs (needed even if the style changes are removed from the PR).

• Frederic

  • Member rights on GitHub and other web service: PR opened to clarify some process for the different level of rights

• Nick

  • Mermaid rendering in Markdown
    Any last comments on the feat'? [frederic] otherwise we should merge (thanks Nick for pushing on this)

• Mike

  • VIM integration into core
    • Keymap switching but it should be larger than the editor one.
    • But it is probably larger that just a keymap switch to integrate in core.
    • Cons: size (Nick mentions it was a large chunk before, need to check)
    • We will discuss this as 4.1 or 4.2 item (while porting extension to support JupyterLab 4.0)

[fcollonval]

Eric G: Why did we switch from cookiecutter to copier?

@ericsnekbytes as the notes did not have any comments, here are some reasons; copier is much more powerful than cookiecutter. The inputs asked to the dev are typed, can be documented (not simply the variable name). And also importantly, it supports update. Meaning that if the configuration of extension for testing or packaging needs to be slightly change, you, as a dev, won't need to figure out what to adapt in all your extensions. But running copier update should update the configuration for most extensions.

A side effect of the update feature is the ability to extend a pure frontend extension to a frontend+server extension by running update and changing your choices.

Agenda

• Isabela

  • What's the current Jupyter Blog post submission process? Someone reached out to me looking to submit a post and I don't know how to help.
    • There is intention to build a media-focused working group to manage this process (among other things). Right now, there is still no formal process; reach out to individuals with permissions on the Jupyter Blog.
  • Is there a way to check, contact, or figure out who has merge rights on Jupyter repos without explicit governance? I'm especially looking for support with jupyter/surveys where I have one user testing PR still open.
    • There is not a singular way at the moment. Some suggestions include checking the repository contributor graph, checking the people in the parent organization for that repo, and checking for any GitHub organization teams (this may not be publicly visible). The long term goal would be that all repos are owned by some kind of group and have an associated team listed as the contact point in the readme.

• Frederic

  • ⚠️ JupyterLab 4.0.4 breaks integration tests using galata -> see issue; fix is merged (I will do a release likely tomorrow)
  • unmaintained jupyterlab repositories -> repositories archived
  • member rights proposal: Brian made really good comments (thanks for those 🙇 ). He propose to drop the inactive status of council membership. I support that; but it means changing existing part of the membership policy. So council members, please look at that proposal.
    So I will keep it open for discussion for another week to see if consensus is reachable before calling for a vote.
  • Mermaid PR; vote in progress (one week to go dear council members)
    For info, we already have reached simple majority (Victory Nick 😉 ). But I will leave the vote open for another week as participation is required to compute active status of council member.

• Eric G

  • Trying to merge Dual Compatibility Guide document (4 PRs)
  • Help with code-linking to examples repo, integration tests, welcome
  • Doc PR: Lab/NB7 extension compatibility docs jupyterlab#14838
    • (Example 1 PR) Toparea widget: Added jupyterlab-toparea-text widget example. extension-examples#240
    • (Example 2 PR) Shout button widget: Added shout-button-message widget example. extension-examples#243
    • (Example 3 PR) Third example PR coming, Clap Widget

• Jason W

  • Plug for weekly triage

• Ely

  • Jupyter Open Studio Day in NYC Monday, August 28
    • https://go.bloomberg.com/attend/invite/jupyter-open-studio-day-august2023/

• Tony

  • Accessibility meeting tomorrow @ 9am PST https://github.com/jupyter/accessibility#join-our-jupyterlab-accessibility-meetings-

Agenda

• Gabriel

  • Keyboard brainstorming. What are some good dates? I was thinking:
    • August 23, 17:00 UTC - next week immediately after this meeting
    • August 30, 17:00 UTC - two weeks from now after this meeting
    • Or does anyone have an alternative suggestion?

• Frederic

  • JupyterLab 4.0.5 released - it solves the bug of 4.0.4 with galata (unable to start a test)
    Some additional troubles have been seen with filebrowser.open: follow-up PR
  • member rights proposal: I updated the proposal by removing the notion of inactive members and that bi-yearly active commitment will be done on the private council repo to limit the diffusion of who has release and/or admin rights. So council members, please look at that proposal.
    So I will keep it open for discussion for yet another week to see if consensus is reachable before calling for a vote.
  • Mermaid PR; vote in progress dead line is August 20th

• Ely

  • Jupyter Open Studio Day in NYC Monday, August 28
    • https://go.bloomberg.com/attend/invite/jupyter-open-studio-day-august2023/

• Frederic (I won't make it)

  • JupyterLab 4.1.0-alpha.1 released
  • Mermaid PR;
    • the vote has ended; the majority is in favor to add that feature
    • The PR has been merged
    • The feature has been released as part of 4.1.0-alpha.1

• Eric G

  • Extension tutorial is broken
    • M: are you referring to Extension Tutorial Bug: Copier Broken jupyterlab#14994?
  • Making a Jupyter documentation subproject
    • A group that coordinates docs across all subprojects
    • Possible major focuses:
      • Content (writing docs)
      • Discovery/community engagement (getting users info they need)
      • Feedback (what needs to be documented? what info do people need?)
    • Possible early targets:
      • Characterize documentation needs across subprojects (what needs to be added, improved, made consistent across each)
      • Capture/store (possibly automate) readthedocs traffic stats/CSVs for last 90 days on a regular basis to get rough metrics on what's important to users
      • Add some easy CI tests to ensure commands in the tutorial run without erroring (would have helped prevent the docs from breaking this time as mentioned above), other CI tests
      • "Get Help" effort spanning multiple subprojects, to consistently communicate to users how they can get help from different documentation sites
      • Add homebrew recommendations to the docs (so users don't encounter recent errors discovered for homebrew installations)
      • And more!
    • analytics from jupyter.org got removed in remove analytics jupyter/jupyter.github.io#408

• Gabriel

  • Looks like August 30 after this meeting is best time for keyboard brainstorming. How do I go about reserving it, putting it on the calendar?
    • Jason W added this to the shared Google Calendar
  • I will also advertise the event on Discourse.

Additional discussion

• Jason W: Bringing AI-based completion in core
  Integrate Copilot-like completions with JupyterLab jupyterlab#14267
  Integrate Copilot-like completions with JupyterLab jupyterlab#14267

  [Mike] It will be good to bring to core an API to handle multiple extensions providing completion

  How to distribute models
  [Nick] Wrapping them in an existing completion source (LSP or kernels) substantially reduces the amount of rework
  [William] I would very much want to make it so jupyterlab as hosted by cocalc has access to ChatGPT, but with the calls to openai proxied through an api I provide, in order to securely protect my api key and also meter usage. Similar remarks for other LLM providers, and I bet other jupyterlab hosting providers also could have similar requirements.
  [Jason W] It is now possible to specify a proxy to inforce API limitation for example
  [William] Maybe off topic, but cocalc jupyter has had extensive openai integration for a while and I get to look at usage stats, and by far the most popular feature is "Help me fix this", which is a button that appears next to any traceback, which when clicked, suggests a fix as a conversation in a side chat (so user can follow up). I implemented a lot of things, then looked at stats, and didn't know what would be popular, but that is what is.
  [Jason W] We implemented "%%ai error" and it is similar to this.

• Should we create additional chat-baseed communication channel like Slack or Discord due to better usability vs Gitter, more relevant people using it

  • they have community managers and developer advocates to moderate it.... not an easy thing to do when the space grows
  • Zulip (https://zulip.com/) actually looks nice
    • Zulip now has public read-only logs, which is nice for oss communities. and oss projects get a free hosted account at zulip
