Hello all, 

As you might have seen, last week was SciPy2016 in Austin, so most of us 
were
overwhelmed during a week, it will take us quite some time to catch up with 
the
back-log. If you've asked a question, opened an issue, and still don't have 
a
response, it probably slipped through the crack, so as usual feel free to 
ping
us after some time, or open a new one !

We can and will do better ! If you are a new user looking to start 
contributing
a few new issues on IPython and JupyterLab are easy for a beginner and would
have a high impact ! Feel free to come by!

I feel like I'm seeing more and more answer on the mailing list and on 
GitHub
done by many who are not among the main developers. Thanks to all of you who
pitch in on Stack Overflow, Reddit, HackerNews, Twitter and the various 
mailing
list, and even to those that do Jupyter Tech Support in person ! We try to 
blur
the line between developers and users, and seeing a good chunk of the 
knowledge
to be in the community hands is great ! 

Many of side projects I have seen last week are of really good quality and 
it
would be worth discussing integrating then into the main repositories by 
default.

SciPy was an extremely extremely useful event, to meet with our user base, 
and
even to be able to work with other developers we only have the chance to 
meet
every now and then. Thanks to all the sponsors who allowed that to happen.

I want to send big thanks to all the JupyterLab team who worked hard behind 
the
scene, and did a fantastic job before SciPy and an even better one during
SciPy, literally fixing bug and rebasing PRs at the last minutes before the
JupyterLab presentation. 

Afshin, Chris, David, Jason, Steven, Sylvain as well as Ryan who help with 
one
of the first JupyterLab plug-in before the Main presentation, and have been
pushing JupyterLab and Phosphor forward for a year now. 

Huge thanks to Brian and the CalPoly folks that are also doing a lot of work
that often does not end up in GitHub metrics. In particular a huge chunk of
SciPy was spent doing user testing on the new JupyterLab, so thanks to:

Charnpreet, Elliot, Farica, Katie, Matt, Reese, Roshan, Spoorthy, as well as
the ~30 users that gave us some of their time to be guinea pig and tried the
new JupyterLab, while they were recording [they got a new triblend Jupyter
Shirt]. 

We also had various kind of feedback from users, like for example concern 
about
wether the notebook format would change (No it will not), and various other
comments and questions we will try to address during the next few weeks 
while we
catch up and get through all the notes we have taken.

If you were there you might have met Ana who took care of the organisation
(we/you wouldn't have Jupyter T-shirt without her), Jamie our project 
manager,
who is making sure we keep our head on our shoulders, and Carol our
Documentation grand master.

Let's not forget Min, who gave a multiple talks on ipyparallel/Dask, Jess
who gave an extremely popular talk about nbflow, and Mike who is slowly 
starting
to get up to speed on the project. 

We missed many of you who couldn't made it this year, like Fernando, Thomas,
Kyle, Jon, ... And hope to see you next year. 

Don't forget to subscribe/ check the newsletter, that should get more
information and links soon ! (https://newsletter.jupyter.org/) 

And don't forget to join tomorrow JupyterHub MiniWorkshop:

> https://github.com/jupyter/jupyterhub-2016-workshop

I'm  sure I've forgotten something/someone and will realize just after
posting this, apologies if it's the case. 

Thanks to all,
