Thanks I'd like to give 🙌

• To everyone 😉

Updates from last week ✔

• Finally merged Docs about AWS hubs and CI/CD automation infrastructure#717 🎉
• Catch up on EBP-related issues and PRs
• Cold down the PaleoHack cluster: Cold down the 2i2c cluster removing the paleo-specific nodes infrastructure#802
• Debug and fix Grenoble issue with some high-resource nodes: [Incident] Grenoble hub (meom-ige dedicated k8s cluster): failure to spawn "very large" or "huge" servers infrastructure#806 and Reduce guarantee memory to avoid going beyond the allocatable value infrastructure#804
• Explore issues listed at https://github.com/pydata/pydata-sphinx-theme/projects/1
• Some new admin-related stuff

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

• I had plans to focus mainly on pydata theme-related issues but, in reality, I worked mainly supporting our Hubs. I do not think this is inherently bad because those communities needed our help at that time and I think those issues currently have higher priority, but still, I am feeling not that happy about the fact I had to shift my plans a little bit 😉 .

My availability for next week

• 100% although working mostly during morning and early afternoon so I can spend time with my son the rest of the day
• Btw, related to the above, I might be a few minutes late to our monthly and sprint meeting (I need to pick up my son from school close to the time the meetings start).

Thanks I'd like to give 🙌

• Thanks to @GeorgianaElena and @damianavila for being so thoughtful in their feedback about how the support steward + meeting facilitator roles could be improved!

Updates from last week ✔

• Attended the CZI EOSS meeting and represented @sgibson91 on a panel talking about our JupyterHub "Community Strategic Lead" grant
• Polished up the "alpha service document" so it was ready for CS&S to approve and begin invoicing
• Worked on forging some collaborations with @jhamman and potentially the GESIS team around better environment management

My availability for next week

• I'm around all week, but will be a little bit AFK on Friday afternoon.
