  • Working on Phoila for dashboards, think I have to use a custom shell. A little painful, as it is hard to extend the LabShell class (screenshot hereAdd ability to clone outputs with drag and drop vidartf/phoila#6).
• Max
  • decide on the one true way to consume icons for 2.0
    • leaning towards Saul’s suggestion of one object per unique icon

  • Refactoring services and kernel architecture
  • Continuing to reviewOutput Console work from Mehmet.
• Luciano
  • @brian mentioned scenarios where kernel might not be required to start right away (e.g. just looking into the notebook contents) or kernel startup might take a little while. Below are some links around further discussions and possible ideas (mostly on the backend), particularly around kernels taking too long to start.
    • https://discourse.jupyter.org/t/scalable-enterprise-gateway/2014
    • Process starvation in concurrent kernel starts, and scaling out JEG for scalability. jupyter-server/enterprise_gateway#732
    • Some other ideas on my side:
      • UI Could (based on a switch) enable a notebook to be opened as read only
      • There were some efforts on making kernel startup a little more async, that should also help
      • Add support for async kernel management via subclassing jupyter/jupyter_client#428
      • Add support for async kernel management jupyter/notebook#4479
• Discussion
  • In-person meeting
    • planning tracked atin-person dev meeting #19 - see that issue for a poll for a good time.
  • RTC work for 2.0
  • 1.2 timeline
    • Tentative RC next Wednesday, 2 Oct.
  • Manual release checks:
    • Does the extension manager work?
