Updates from last week ✔️

• Curate JupyterLab themes #133 preparing getting next decision step going. Based on discussion yesterday I need an update and to see if we can get an informal vote in the next JupyterLab call.
• Test out a new contribution event! #132 I made keyboard navigation event fixes based on feedback. Trying to schedule the next event on a Monday with you all, so I need to check the thread on that.

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

• I'm okay.

My availability for next week

• I'll be out of office from November 23–25.

Important items for discussion 💬

• I don't think I have anything right now.

Updates from last week ✔️

• I'm working in the hamburguer menu in jupyterlab - realized that the change must be done in Jupyterlab and not Lumino but now I'm thinking how is best to implement it.

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

• I will need to ask Mike some questions about jupyterlab architecture - I'm still not sure why there's so many interfaces for menu objects.

My availability for next week

• I'll be here

Important items for discussion 💬

• Do I need to do something for the jupytercon proposals?

Thanks I'd like to give 🙌

• Thanks to all of you for being so supportive ^_^

Updates from last week ✔️

• Focus not always visible on JupyterLab initial page #167. I put up a code fix!
  • Make focus visible (mostly CSS) jupyterlab/jupyterlab#13415.
  • Need to also put up PR for regression test.
• Improve the menubar accessibility jupyterlab/lumino#465. I've been reviewing this contribution that improves keyboard navigation in Lumino menubar.

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

• All is good.

My availability for next week

• I haven't requested time off yet, but I guess I'll be taking Thursday, November 24 off?

Important items for discussion 💬

• Can we discuss some of the things that came up in yesterday's Jupyter Accessibility meeting?

@steff456

• will be working on the hamburger menu - should be a component in the menubar
• seems all the changes need to happen at the JLab level and not lumino

@gabalafou
- focus PR is on its way -> need to iron out some kinks in the tests
- need to open the issue regarding the menubar refactoring
