Thanks I'd like to give 🙌

• Thanks to all for reviewing again the GSoD proposal

Updates from last week ✔️

• Worked in the GSoD proposal
  • Added the latest comments
  • I think it is ready for upload!
• Worked in the themes extension
  • I changed the focus on how I was approaching the problem to first worry about the structure and distribution of the package before doing any actual change in color.
  • Opened an issue in Jupyterlab because the current themes API doesn't have a way to have one package or plugin that includes multiple themes - Extensions can only declare one theme jupyterlab/jupyterlab#14202

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

• I'm ok!

My availability for next week

• I'll be here

Important items for discussion 💬

• Is there anything else the GSoD proposal needs? I think it is in a good place to upload it and submit it.
• There's a way to embed multiple plugins into one, so I'll continue working towards that route.

• Reviewed and suggested edits to Stephannie's Google Summer of Docs proposal

@isabela-pf

@gabalafou

- file browser PR will make it into 4.0 🎉 🏷️

@steff456

- looking into how to have multiple themes into one single package - setting the tooling + infra first
