Hi,

Iā€™m Tony, an academic an optimistic technologist, been helping run a distance ed HE course for 3 years that uses Jupyter notebooks in a VM as a key part of a final year undergrad course. I just launched the Tracking Jupyter newsletter at https://tinyletter.com/TrackingJupyter and am happy to add [Contributed: ] flagged posts to it from here, and a standing ā€œCheck out the Jupyter discourseā€ link if thatā€™d be useful.

would love this! keeping up-to-date with Jupyter is difficult indeed. Our hope is that Discourse can make it easier for people to stay in the loop (or discover activity from the past)

Hello all. Iā€™m Jason and Iā€™ve been using Jupyter/Jupyterhub in teaching and research at RPI for the last few years. I have been working with some students at the Rensselaer Center for Open Source Software on a Jupyter centric framework called Carme. The goal of Carme is to make it easier for data scientists to work with containers, manage infrastructure, and (eventually) build data applications.

Iā€™ve really benefited from the awesome work of the Jupyter team and this discussion forum is a great addition!
