## Discussion topics

_Is there something we should discuss as a group? Something you want feedback on?_

_Note: If you have a usage question, our [Discussion Forum](https://github.com/orgs/nebari-dev/discussions) would be a place to ask. :)_


* [Adam] Could you all discuss and respond with next steps on [this PR](https://github.com/nebari-dev/nebari/pull/1639#issuecomment-1446572921)? The last few comments show the current state and Eskild should be pretty up to date with the status.  The PR requires existing users to run some manual commands to delete existing ArgoWF CRDs before updating.  This is a one time step, and won't be necessary moving forwards since the PR makes the CRDs to be managed by terraform moving forwards instead of helm. 
    * We can discuss next week when Adam has more time on Nebari
* [Kim] If we have time, I'd like some feedback/ideas on my playwright integration approach.
    * Will be working with Vini
* [Eskild] We are still working on fixing CI/integration tests, we will need to push the release back until those are sorted out.
* [Tania]: shall we review this month's milestone https://github.com/nebari-dev/nebari/milestone/20 and unify with https://github.com/nebari-dev/nebari/milestone/21 since we are skipping Feb's release
* [Pam] onboarding docs for maintainers/contributors
    * https://www.nebari.dev/docs/community/
    * https://www.nebari.dev/docs/community/nebari-tests 
 
* [Rich]: IOOS Next-Gen DMAC is using Nebari, Argo Workflows and deploying Panel Apps
    * https://github.com/asascience-open/nextgen-dmac#prototype-relationships
    * https://github.com/asascience-open/nextgen-dmac/issues/30#issuecomment-1443932274
        * Argo lacks a stable Python API; Dharhas used https://github.com/argoproj-labs/hera-workflows for a demo
* [Rich] -- Using crossplane for Nebari deployment?
    * Chris - It's doable
* [Rich] - Env for PyTorch + GPUs on Nebari
    * It works on GCP with a config-change, we found many small-issues, may not work by defauly
    * Need to verify on AWS
