Action items¶

• Martin: Check with Greg about what’s stopping us from using stac-react

  • Matt: Open any necessary issues on the stac-react repo that would enable us to collaborate with them to build a common STAC engine for use in JGIS!

New agenda items¶

• Status for JupyterGIS

  • STAC Filter extension support PR ready! Matt to review

    • geojupyter/jupytergis#1035

    • Reuse / contribute to development seed STAC react library?

      • Need to chat with Greg about it!

        • Martin will follow up with Greg: What do we need that stac-react doesn’t have?

  • STAC doesn’t support symbology because it’s a custom layer type

    • Martin, Matt agree we should move towards using existing layer/source types for STAC, and move the STAC metadata for a layer (asset/item) into a new provenance field.

  • Scrolly telling map!! geojupyter/jupytergis#1061

    • Imagining a workflow that’s less coupled with JupyterGIS, perhaps using Notebook or MyST as the medium for authoring scrollytelling experiences and using Specta to deploy them! See Specta demo: https://trungleduc.github.io/specta/specta/

    • JupyterLab already has a “preview with Specta” extension! Automatically re-renders when file content changes. We could have a live preview in JLab, then deploy.

    • Matt: How does Specta integrate with (or replace) existing blogs?

      • Martin: Could write a blog index as a Notebook! Potentially generate the links to all other posts with Python?

      • Martin: Could iframe into an existing blog!

      • Martin: Build the specta post as a single static HTML build, push to your HTTP server, link to it.

  • Snapshots bot! Martin fixed it! 🎉 ❤️

    • Tested with JupyterGIS! Worked as expected, tested with users with write and without write permissions

    • ~~reusable workflow~~ composite action: jupyterlab/maintainer-tools#268

      • Matt: Pair program on exploring reusable workflows vs composite actions? Which one is more appropriate / useful? Is it worth the extra effort?

      • Matt: This actually is already a composite action, not a reusable workflow! Nevermind!

  • Matt: PR for ui testing & npm security docs: geojupyter/jupytergis#1066

    • Martin: This should be in the JupyterLab documentation!

      • Matt: We may need to do some reorganization, this relates to both extension development and contribution to JupyterLab itself.

        • Martin: Should document that it’s important to use compatible versions of JupyterLab and Galata. How to know which versions are compatible?

• Non-JupyterGIS stuff

  • Matt focusing on jupyter-xarray-tiler (currently, repo is named jupyter-microgis. will change)
