Updates from last week ✔️

• Rendered notebook user testing - Round 2 #147 I am doing user testing with Space Telescope work this week, so that has been where my main progress is.
• Curate JupyterLab themes #133 Was a tie, so I'm going to be the tie breaker. I need to comment on the JupyterLab issue.
• Rendered notebook user testing - Round 1 #146 Turned results into a little slide deck per request and shared at the accessibility meeting this week.

Challenges I faced and things I'd like assistance with 🙏

• I don't have anything right now.

My availability for next week

• I'll be out of office from December 2–6.

Important items for discussion 💬

Thanks I'd like to give 🙌

• Many thanks to @isabela-pf for helping me think through UX questions!

Updates from last week ✔️

• File browser has numerous keyboard issues, some newly surfaced #182 - Same as last week: I've been heads down on this issue. PR forthcoming. Sneak peek of code changes can be seen here: https://github.com/gabalafou/jupyterlab/compare/fix-focus-visible...file-browser-focus?expand=1

Challenges I faced and things I'd like assistance with 🙏

• This UX work is difficult because I have to make decisions. Isabela has been helping me think through these.
  • Example: the "go up" command is registered on the filename node class. But this means that when the directory is empty, go back fails. So should I get rid of the command and handle the backspace key in the class?

My availability for next week

• Here.

Updates from last week ✔️

• I'm still working on the hamburger menu, found an issue with Lumino examples where I was testing the changes in the menu bar. I need to test it against Jupyterlab to see if I'm able to track the new features that I'm adding. The tasks I'll focus on:
  • Open an issue in Lumino with the issue I found in the examples
  • Test my changes with jupyterlab
• I started checking the template for the talks in Jupytercon, but I'm not sure in which category should the talk/poster go. Maybe community ?

Challenges I faced and things I'd like assistance with 🙏

• I'm still sick, took tuesday off but still not feeling my best

My availability for next week

• I hope to be here and be better 🤞

Important items for discussion 💬

• I don't have anything for today

@isabela-pf

• finishing the User testing phase 2 this week
• will need to act as a tiebreaker for the Zoom voting issue (there were no other folks from the JLab meeting voting) -> cleaning up existing experience 🤷🏽‍♀️ we will do what we can do with what we are optimising
• after finishing user testing -> move to clean the JLab accessibility statement
• where would we want to permanently keep the Space telescope usability resources (do we want to do some outreach?) -> Jupyter/survey
• plan to do user testing in January - TODO: open an issue to keep track of the tasks and the such
• also reviewed https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GkA-66AoDS31EsHGuyYpYivqoJdHANG2/view from the Lab meeting

@steff456

• has been working on the 🍔 menu after coming back from a sick day

@gabalafou

• finish focus PRs and tests
• work on JupyterLab CFP (the only proposal for now)

All share drafts for PyCon and JupyterCon talks.
