First BSDCan Operations Team Meeting
I’m posting this here because I’m posting it everywhere. I’ve just sent an email everyone who volunteered to help make BSDCan 2024 happen. I suspect some of you have not received that email. If you haven’t seen it, please check your spam folder. We need to start organizing now to make 2024 go smoothly.

JupyterLab 4.0: a development environment for education and research
JupyterLab is a web-based development environment widely used by data scientists, engineers, and educators for data visualization, data analysis, prototyping, and interactive learning materials. The Jupyter community has recently announced the release of JupyterLab 4.0, introducing lots of new features and performance improvements to enhance its capabilities both in research and educational settings.
JupyterLab's umbrella project, Jupyter, focuses on creating free and open-source software for interactive computing across all programming languages, using the three-clause BSD license for all of its projects. Jupyter evolved from IPython, which is an interactive shell for Python that later added support for other interpreted languages. Jupyter's core concept is the computational notebook: a shareable document that combines computer code, plain language descriptions, data tables, visualizations, and even interactive controls like sliders for changing parameters.
