We are excited to announce the 1.0 release of JupyterLab Plugin Playground, allowing you to seamlessly experiment with the creation of Jupyter Notebook and JupyterLab plugins to add any functionality you may desire.
The Jupyter Foundation is excited to announce that we have contracted with Jason Grout to be a part-time Jupyter Foundation Community Manager. The primary purpose of this role is to strengthen the Foundation and assist the Foundation and its members in providing value to Project Jupyter.
The rise of AI coding agents has transformed how we think about developer tools. Large language models like Claude, GPT, and others are remarkably effective at using command-line interfaces — they’ve been trained on billions of lines of CLI usage from documentation, Stack Overflow, and GitHub.
A new Jupyter Workshop is happening June 15–17, 2026 in Orsay, France. Demystifying MyST Markdown in Education is a three-day workshop organized by the Jupyter community, focused on helping science educators adopt Jupyter Book and the MyST document engine for their teaching materials.
The Jupyter Book project has content in a bunch of different repositories — user docs, a blog, a team compass, and project & community pages. We recently finished an initiative to serve each set of content at jupyterbook.org, while keeping the source files separated in their repositories.
Imagine querying 420+ billion rows of astronomical catalog data — spanning 30 major sky surveys, observed over decades with telescopes on three continents — from a Jupyter notebook in your browser in seconds. No download. No HPC allocation request. No waiting.
Authors of MyST Markdown can now embed interactive JavaScript widgets directly in content using the new {anywidget} directive.
nbgitpuller now has improved UX context-aware error handling. Update to version 1.3.0 and let us know what you think by opening an issue 🚀
The Berkeley Institute for Data Science (BIDS) is the birthplace of the current iteration of mybinder.org, all the way back in 2017. In 2026, they are back as a member of the federation, joining 2i2c and GESIS in contributing to the cloud costs of keeping mybinder.org running!
The Jupyter Book team just released mystmd 1.8.2 and a new version of the MyST react theme! Below are a few things that stand out.
This is a critical moment for open source software. AI enables new contributors in new ways, but maintainers are also faced with an unprecedented volume of contributions and security reports. This speed also puts pressure on maintainers and the processes that keep projects secure and reliable.
The JupyterLab extension ecosystem just crossed 700 extensions compatible with JupyterLab 4!
The JupyterHub and Jupyter Book communities are hiring a community manager.
Since its initial announcement less than two years ago, JupyterGIS has been a growing effort to bring interactive geospatial workflows into the Jupyter ecosystem.
Hey Jovyans, we’d love for you to join us on our next community call! We want to learn all about the great things you’re doing with Jupyter. The Community Building working group is holding an open call with the community, for people to discuss and share their work.
We are thrilled to announce that JupyterLite is now an official part of Project Jupyter. This milestone marks a significant step forward for interactive computing in the browser and strengthens JupyterLite’s role within the Jupyter ecosystem.
In February, the mybinder.org service will start tracking the “origin” of requests that launch a Binder session. The website that created a request to mybinder.org will be visible in the Binder analytics archive.
A colleague sends you a SQLite file, a Parquet dataset, or an Avro snapshot. You need to explore the content, but you’re not sure what’s inside or even how to open it. You shouldn’t have to write code, craft SQL queries, or recall the syntax for read_parquet in a Python library.
JupyterLite is a Jupyter distribution that runs entirely in the web browser without any server components. Deployment and hosting are easy as JupyterLite sites are just static websites.
JupyterLab 4.5 has been released! This new minor release of JupyterLab includes 51 new features and enhancements, 81 bug fixes, 44 maintenance tasks and 38 documentation improvements. There were 51 contributors to this release.
The Jupyter Community Building Working Group is happy to announce the Jupyter Community Workshops selected for funding in early 2026. The dates, venues, participants, and specific agenda for each workshop are being finalized in the near future, so stay tuned for more details.
When I helped start 2i2c.org, one of my goals for the non-profit was to experiment with new and different ways of supporting the Jupyter ecosystem’s long term health.
We want to learn all about the great things you’re doing with Jupyter. The Community Building working group is holding an open call with the community, for people to discuss and share their work.
We are thrilled to announce the results of our first round of Jupyter Community Funding proposals. This is the first funding call from the Jupyter Foundation to directly solicit proposals from the Jupyter community.
