Thanks I'd like to give 🙌

• Thank you to @steff456 for submitting the conference proposal!
• Thanks to @gabalafou for user testing script review!

Updates from last week ✔️

• JupyterLab user testing for common workflows #184 I've been updating the draft script based on feedback and made the requested interest form.
• Notebook authoring tips draft is not a public PR. I also have been turning this into slides and a review checklist for the upcoming STScI hackathon.

• I don't think I have anything now.

My availability for next week

Thanks I'd like to give 🙌

• @isabela-pf for creating Google doc to put down our goals through the end of the grant.

Updates from last week ✔️

• I worked towards deliverable: Tab trap in JupyterLab notebook code cell #168. I know I said I would have the PR up before now, but I kept running into little issues and playing whack-a-mole. I promise this is going up today as PR against the JupyterLab repo.

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

• This PR isn't getting attention and has a merge conflict with master yet again: Make file browser respond to focussed elements jupyterlab/jupyterlab#13577

My availability for next week

• I'll be here!

Important items for discussion 💬

• Nothing from me today.
