Thanks I'd like to give 🙌

• Super thankful for @sgibson91 powering through the Pangeo Hub deployments :-)
• And equally thank for @rabernat to provide helpful feedback and helping guide the infrastructure

Updates from last week ✔

• I unfortunately have gotten caught up in some somewhat unpleasant debates with the executablebooks world about the next steps for the project. This has been quite draining for me, so apologies if I've been a little bit less available than normal.
• I did make progress on some more stuff to finish the CS&S transfer (even wrote a blog post draft!) and we finally have a Zoom room :-)

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

• General encouragement is most welcome when it comes to Executable Books stuff, that is a slog right now haha
• We have an incident report open for the Grenoble hub ([Incident] Diminished service for MEOM IGE / Grenoble hub infrastructure#680) I'm not sure exactly what's going on and it'd be helpful if somebody could investigate a bit.

My availability for next week

• I'll be around all week!

• Some admin stuff

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

My availability for next week
