Love this vision of "Backseat software". We need more software that's useful on its own right, and doesn't constantly try to inject itself into your life.

I'm really excited to see 2i2c leaning more into open product development practices by building a public roadmap. This is a way for us to find more common ground between the needs of our member communities, and opportunities to support open source.
We’re proud to share a public roadmap for 2i2c's team - it's a step toward more participatory, transparent open development with our member and upstream communities.

It's been so cool seeing new contributions in jupyterhub from @jnywong.github.io . She's brought a creative and collaborative spirit that I really appreciate! Congrats on joining the team!
We’re incredibly proud to announce that Jenny Wong was invited to join the JupyterHub team as a contributor and maintainer!

Check out Angus' talk about the Jupyter Book re-write, and the new MyST Document Engine! Thanks for repping the jupyter book project at FOSDEM, Angus!
This was an exciting round of UX improvements to nbgitpuller thanks to feedback from the team at UC Berkeley. Thanks to the CloudBank team and @ucbids.bsky.social for facilitating collaborations like this!
🛳️ New release of myst-theme ! This is a patch release to fix a bunch of UI/UX bugs that we uncovered after the last minor release. Thanks to everybody for testing and quick feedback!

This was an interesting experiment in using JupyterHub to deploy a *data science design* environment, for a user workshop, rather than a typical "notebook analytics" environment. You can serve all kinds of interfaces and side-applications with JupyterHub!
Another release of Jupyter Book and the MyST document stack! Thanks to everybody for all of the testing, bug reports, and bug fixes :-) it gets better each month :-D
We're proud to announce a new release of the Jupyter Book stack! This brings in a number of fixes and UI improvements! Check out release notes for each here:
mystmd 1.8: github.com/jupyter-book...
myst-theme 1.1: github.com/jupyter-book...
jupyter-book 2.1.1: github.com/jupyter-book...

I'm proud that 2i2c is able to make space for more people to participate in open source leadership and community building in this way! Jupyter is lucky to have April helping out :-)

I find this kind of thing really exciting - 2i2c is basically a centralized shared infrastructure team, running independent community hubs, in a way where we can directly give others control over their own infrastructure in a safe way.
We improved jupyterhub-home-nfs so that admins can see per-user home directory usage within minutes and get quota limits as metrics, so it’s easier to spot disk usage problems early.

2025 had a lot of learning for us - in part, we learned that it is really hard to balance both a shared infrastructure platform *and* a collaborative development service! Here are a few thoughts about the tension between these, and our plan to leaning into that tension in 2026.
"Who is using the most resources?" is a common question for cloud admins. With our new user group cost dashboards, you can answer that question with more granularity!

We recently pushed Jupyter Book 2, which was a breaking change for many of our users! We considered publishing a completely different package (e.g., `jupyter-book2`) but decided against it. Here's a quick rationale why:
This is a pattern I'm excited to lean into - many communities get opportunities to use cloud resources ad-hoc. We'd like our membership to be an easy way to quickly get resources when you need them, when credits / access / etc is available by government/state resources.
I'm really excited to welcome BIDS as our founding premier member organization for 2i2c. It has been one a key strategic partner ever since our creation and I look forward to many more years of impact!

Brett Cannon has a fascinating blog post about how community-wide enhancements take a *lot* of slow, methodical, diligent work behind the scenes. This kind of thing is so under-appreciated and so important

I try to post on my mastodon account as well (choldgraf@hachyderm.io) but will follow this account as well !

It's really exciting to see Min back on the BIDS team. He's been a huge leader and contributor in open source over the years, and I'm excited to be able to work with him more closely in his new timezone and role! bids.berkeley.edu/news/min-rag...
I'm really excited to announce the first partner in our new membership model for @2i2c.org - BIDS has been a huge ally over the years and I'm excited to keep improving open infrastructure together with them
📣 Thurs, Oct 16 @ 3:30pm PT -> Launching the BIDS membership of @2i2c.org !
With special guests @choldgraf.com and Yuvi from 2i2c - Help shape the future of open source at UC Berkeley at a fireside chat, a Q&A session, and community gathering time with snacks and drinks! 🍿🥤
We've learned that our member communities care a *lot* about cloud cost transparency and reliability, so we're working hard to drill down into user data about costs and usage for community leaders to access.
