In [a recent Jupyter Blog post](https://blog.jupyter.org/national-scale-interactive-computing-2c104455e062)\*, Jim Colliander described a project in Canada to provide interactive computing environments at scale to educators and researchers. This was accomplished by providing customized JupyterHubs running on national and cloud infrastructure that were tailored to the use-cases of groups around the country.

The post raises a lot of interesting questions and ideas for how we can scale open infrastructure for interactive computing and provide these environments for people in a vendor- and workflow-agnostic manner.

We’d love to hear any thoughts, ideas, concerns, or comments that folks might have about this topic. Please do chime in here with any thoughts!
