Max Weber famously wrote that politics is "a strong and slow boring of hard boards." In [Why it took 4 years to get a lock files specification](https://snarky.ca/why-it-took-4-years-to-get-a-lock-files-specification/), Brett Cannon demonstrates how the same principle applies to technical coordination in open source. Python recently adopted [PEP 751](https://peps.python.org/pep-0751/) for lockfile specification. Doing so
I travel internationally a lot, which means I deal with a lot of jet lag. This post is a quick summary of a system I've found helpful, based on [this paper](https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fphys.2019.00927/full). The basic idea is to shift your body's internal clock by timing your exposure to light, exercise, and melatonin around
This is a brief reflection on something that I've been hearing consistently from the Linux Foundation and its member projects as part of serving on the [Board of the Jupyter Foundation](https://jupyterfoundation.org). Here's a point that originally surprised me when I heard it: > Most foundations within the Linux Foundation network recommend
This week was my first time attending the [Linux Foundation Member Summit](https://events.linuxfoundation.org/lf-member-summit/). This is an annual meeting for all of the Linux Foundation member organizations and projects. I joined because of my new role [on the Jupyter Executive Council](./jec.md), and so I tried to go into this meeting with the
This is a question that I've been asked many times now that I'm serving on the JEC and the JF. I'm writing up a quick response so that I have something to refer back to and align my own thinking on. **How most Linux Foundation projects seem to be structured**. Linux
The Jupyter Foundation has a pot of money and it aims to use that funding quickly to support the Jupyter Project. But what should it use the funding _for_? There are many things to do, and not enough time or money to try everything. This is a brief brainstorm and
This year, I decided to nominate myself for the [Jupyter Executive Council](https://jupyter.org/governance/executive_council.html). This is a brief post explaining my rationale for doing so, the kind of service I'd hope to provide the project, and where I imagine the project moving. The [Jupyter Executive Council](https://jupyter.org/governance/executive_council.html) is the highest governing body within the
Some quick thoughts on moving from Twitter/X to BlueSky and how I'll try to use social media after being burned once by Twitter.
On my journey to learn more about writing with [the new MyST engine](https:///mystmd.org), I built upon [my recent update to my blog infrastructure](./programmatic-myst-with-jupyter.md) and made some improvements to my blog post list. Here's what it looks like now: ````{note} Click here to see how it looks now :class: dropdown ```{postlist} :number: 3 ``` ```` Here's a quick rundown
While I've been [converting my blog to use the new MyST engine](./mystmd-with-the-blog.md), I discovered a useful MyST feature. It's not yet possible to [natively parse Jupyter Markdown outputs as MyST](https://github.com/jupyter-book/mystmd/issues/1026) but there's a workaround if you don't mind generating a temporary file. The trick is to _write to a temporary file_
