• Frederic

  • GSoC 2024 update
    • Treeview PR ready for review
      • It adds some keyboard navigation and interaction with some slight visual changes - we loved to hear feedbacks
      • I'm not able to update the snapshots through comments - is it expected with the latest security changes? Should we relax the condition on the status of the commenter?
    • Builder is making good progress, we got jupyter labextension build/develop/watch
      • Next steps is gonna be to include jlpm and @jupyterlab/builder within that repo.
      • I have a question of code organization. That idea started as a PR in the hatch jupyter plugin. And seeing the link that that hatch builder will be tightly link to the new builder, should we use a single repo for both? I recall some counter arguments from Nick but can not find them any more
  • Make the services manager PR a plugin

• Andrii: JupyterLab PR 14375 "Settings Editor: remove pluginslist grey background" is ready for review, has green CI, and was approved by Jason W. Looking for more reviews or consensus that it's good to be merged.

Agenda

• Andrii: PR 14375 "Settings Editor: remove pluginslist grey background" is merged. We wanted to release this settings editor UI change early as a part of an alpha to allow for user testing and feedback. Is there a plan for 4.3.0a3 before 4.3.0b1?

  • Mike: yes, we are in alpha we will switch to beta on August 5th as per 4.3 Release Plan jupyterlab#16315
  • Would be nice to wait for more PRs to be merged before doing another release, let's touch basis on new alpha release next week

• Mike:

  • CVE on extension-template/cookiecutter
    • GHSA-rc7c-v5qg-g3vw
    • GHSA-45gq-v5wm-82wg
  • jupyter_ydoc and jupyter-collaboration packages
    • https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyter-collaboration/releases/tag/v3.0.0beta0 released
    • Add cell execution_state jupyter-server/jupyter_ydoc#197

• Jason W:

  • Vote on the move to the Linux Foundation has closed and has passed

• Frederic:

  • in-app translation extension
    • Demo - compatible with lab and notebook 7; main remaining point is to create a Lite version
    • Question: Integration in Lab?
      • I'd like to add menu entries in the language menu to Install a language and Help with translation. The former is not related to the extension but the latter would install the extension (another possibility is to redirect to the Lite instance or the extension repo).
      • Should that extension be in the jupyterlab GitHub org? - for now it is in lab contrib
  • Request for 4.2.x release following ws bump backport
    • What is the status of 4.2.x?
      [Mike] We can cut a new patch release - no-blocker

Agenda

• Frederic (won't attend)

  • New security rules and update snapshots job
    I looked at how best handle the current situation that prevents the update job to be executed on non-member PRs. It looks like the easiest would be to create a team with Read access (aka nothing more than what you can do on public repo) in which we invite trusted contributor as outside collaborator.
    For example I invited a GSoC contributor for test purpose (should be dropped at the end of this meeting if the approach is deemed wrong):
    
    Then on one of her PRs, the first update snapshot comment failed (she was not yet a collaborator). The second passed (she accepted the invitation).
  • Follow up in a JupyterLab issue?

• Jason W

  • Request for comments: remove the move up/down buttons from the cell toolbar?
  • Draft PR: add a per-cell "run" button?
    • Added issue to not show cell toolbar without disabling the plugin. Add option not to show cell toolbar, without disabling plugin jupyterlab#16609

• Jeremy

  • Use @jupyter/chat in Jupyter AI? Use @jupyter/chat as chat UI jupyter-ai#862

• Mike

  • jupyter-ai default model for magics Default model for %%ai magic command jupyter-ai#372
  • JupyterLab 4.3 beta/feature freeze approaching
  • Pull requests with "Needs Review" status: Needs Review
    • Add functionality to upload folder by dragging to file browser jupyterlab#10596
  • Issues with important labels: Needs Design and Needs Discussion

First Wednesday of the month; Accessibility topics?

• Jason W

  • Hacktoberfest this year?
  • 4.3.0 blockers?
    • Particularly File browser columns are not consistently positioned jupyterlab#16712, which has two open PRs

• Gabriel

  • I am the current representative of Jupyter Accessibility for the Jupyter Software Steering Council
  • The representative term length is 1 year
  • I started in October 2023
  • My term is ending this month
  • We need to run a nomination and election process
  • I'm not exactly sure where to start
    • Suggestion: Team compass issue

• Mike (cannot unmute today)

  • Still looking for review on "Fix overwriting shortcuts" Fix overwriting shortcuts jupyterlab#16721

• Jeremy:

  • Updated the quick open extension for JupyterLab
  • https://github.com/jupyterlab-contrib/jupyterlab-quickopen
  • Related issue: quick open jupyterlab#4767
  • Does this belong to core JupyterLab?

Auston:

• What tips would you share with faculty to help them make their notebooks accessible?
  • Gab: Here are a few resources:
    • Notebook authoring accessibility checklist
    • draft Accessibility Tips for Creating & Publishing Jupyter Notebooks
    • slides for Accessibility best practices for authoring Jupyter notebooks - SciPy 2023
• What are some of the accessibility barriers currently present with the application?
  • Gab: this is a complex question but here are a couple of good places to start
    • JupyterLab: Accessibility Issues Needing Addressing for WCAG 2.1 compliance (As of Version 2.2.6) #9399
    • Jupyter Notebook: Accessibility Issues Needing Addressing for WCAG 2.1 compliance (As of Version 7.0.0a15) #6800
• Can you export from Jupyter Notebook to an accessible HTML?

    • nbconvert is the place to start, I think
    • this same question motivated much of the work done by the Notebooks for All (2022-2023) project
  • Balaji:
    • nbconvert-a11y?
      • Gab: ah yes, looks like this was forked from notebooks-for-all
      • Gab: it should be mentioned that most of this work was experimental
      • Balaji: Thanks, good to know!

[tonyfast]

it is so awesome that after the accessibility meeting shuffling y'all were finally able to focus on accessibility during front-ends call. it feels worth it to have shown up solo the last two months to remind y'all that accessibility is important.

i watched the accessibility part of the meeting and took a look at the notes. it is great to see notebooks-for-all mentioned in the notes, but the fact that it was not shared in the meeting is an oversight. notebooks-for-all was funded by the space telescope science institute, and is the first co-design effort ever created with the goal of improving the notebook experience for disabled people. during this effort we made our first couple drafts of accessible authoring experiences. designers and developers worked directly with disabled testers who were compensated to hear about their experiences. all of that work is documented as issues in a progressive open-source way thanks to @isabela-pf's incredible thoroughness.

i really want to thank @gabalafou for acknowledging the experimental nature of nbconvert-a11y. it is indeed one of if not the only reference implementation for the accessibility object model of a notebook. further, it includes python pytest fixtures for testing html(vnu) and accessibility of the documents like @bollwyvl mentioned in the meeting. this project has been developed unfunded and i continue to work directly with disabled notebooks users to improve the reference implementation. as far as i know, this is the only effort to develop a reference implementation for experiencing static, html notebooks with assistive technology. the provenance of notebooks-for-all and the continued inclusion of disabled notebook users means that this is one of the only jupyter/notebook programs centering disabled people and assistive technology users. how can this not be experimental?

nbconvert-a11y is extremely relevant to nbconvert, table of contents, and even jupyter lab/classic. i have been looking for platforms to share this work. i'd love it if anyone could reach out if that are interested in making space for me to share it.

i don't intend to return to jupyter meetings so i'd really appreciate it if the community can ensure some of my labor in accessibility isn't dismissed or erased. it is very hard to continue these efforts when they have not been equitably acknowledged. that doesn't mean we stop, but it makes the unfunded work of disabled people much more difficult.
