Thanks I'd like to give 🙌

• Thanks to @yuvipanda for making a bunch of PRs lately to improve the language around the managed jupyterhub services we offer 👍

Updates from last week ✔

• Much of last week I spent wrangling some grant opportunities (in JupyterHub and in Executable Books) for the next CZI EOSS round
• I also spent a bit of time learning Monday.com (a project management platform) to understand whether it could be useful in helping us organize projects
• Also did some more organization-wide stuff in the team compass, such as iterating on our CoC a bit

What I'm up to next ⬜

• I am trying to think a bit about team process and how we can improve visibility, planning, and communication across our projects
• I am trying to understand the divio documentation framework a bit to improve our team / project documentation
