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.

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
