Hi, I’m Chris Holdgraf 👋

Something that has bugged me for a long time is that [MyST](https://mystmd.org) doesn't have a lot of support for *authors* to write MyST documents more effectively. MyST documents have a ton of rich metadata inside them, but it has mostly been used for making the *reader* experience more interesting, rather than

Max Weber famously wrote that politics is "a strong and slow boring of hard boards." In [Why it took 4 years to get a lock files specification](https://snarky.ca/why-it-took-4-years-to-get-a-lock-files-specification/), Brett Cannon demonstrates how the same principle applies to technical coordination in open source.

This post is a quick summary of a system I've found helpful, based on [this paper](https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fphys.2019.00927/full).

This is an annual meeting for all of the Linux Foundation member organizations and projects. I joined because of my new role [on the Jupyter Executive Council](./jec.md), and so I tried to go into this meeting with the

This is a question that I've been asked many times now that I'm serving on the JEC and the JF. I'm writing up a quick response so that I have something to refer back to and align my own thinking on. **How most Linux Foundation projects seem to be structured**. Linux

The Jupyter Foundation has a pot of money and it aims to use that funding quickly to support the Jupyter Project. But what should it use the funding _for_? There are many things to do, and not enough time or money to try everything. This is a brief brainstorm and

This year, I decided to nominate myself for the [Jupyter Executive Council](https://jupyter.org/governance/executive_council.html). This is a brief post explaining my rationale for doing so, the kind of service I'd hope to provide the project, and where I imagine the project moving. The [Jupyter Executive Council](https://jupyter.org/governance/executive_council.html) is the highest governing body within the

Some quick thoughts on moving from Twitter/X to BlueSky and how I'll try to use social media after being burned once by Twitter.

On my journey to learn more about writing with [the new MyST engine](https:///mystmd.org), I built upon [my recent update to my blog infrastructure](./programmatic-myst-with-jupyter.md) and made some improvements to my blog post list. Here's what it looks like now: ````{note} Click here to see how it looks now :class: dropdown ```{postlist} :number: 3 ``` ```` Here's a quick rundown
