## 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](https://discourse.jupyter.org/t/jupyter-community-calls/668/107).
## Short reports, celebrations, shout-outs
This is a place to make community announcements (without a need for discussion).
* The Jupyter Book community have submitted a paper describing Jupyter Book 2 and MyST to the Scientific Python proceedings
* It's still in PR form but ready for you to read: [Jupyter Book 2 and the MyST Document Stack](https://github.com/scipy-conference/scipy_proceedings/pull/1096)
* This was a huge amount of work and a wonderfully inclusive effort!
* We're particularly proud of the case studies from [The Turing Way](https://book.the-turing-way.org/), [QuantEcon](https://quantecon.org/), [Project Pythia](https://projectpythia.org/), and the [QIIME 2](https://qiime2.org/) Framework (Q2F) documentation ecosystem :rocket: :star2:
* The Jupyter Book community also merged some updates to our documentation, including a [pronunciation guide](https://mystmd.org/guide/guiding-principles#how-do-i-pronounce-myst) for MyST!
* [GeoJupyter](https://geojupyter.org/) hosted a really successful hackathon in Berkeley in August
* There were 4 teams that organically emerged:
* infrastructure developers exploring containers and development environment setup,
* documentation specialists filling in gaps and testing tutorials with fresh eyes,
* API developers working on Python integration and data manipulation workflows, and
* strategists zooming out to question JupyterGIS’ fundamental purpose.
* Read the blog post to find out more! https://geojupyter.org/blog/20250903-inperson-hackathon-and-design-dialog/index.html
* JupyterGIS was used as a supporting visualisation for a Nature article!

## Other Links Shared
* Feel free to connect on the [Jupyter Zulip chat](https://jupyter.zulipchat.com/)! Lots of people are joining (nearly 400 users now) and there are a lot of active discussions. Zulip has a [desktop app](https://zulip.com/apps/) and a [new mobile app](https://zulip.com/apps/) that is really nice.
* The Executive Council is running an experiment adding Plausible web analytics to jupyter.org. You can see the stats at https://plausible.io/jupyter.org.
