Move https://pypi.org/project/ipywidgets/ to be jupyter org owned.

[Carreau]

As far as I can tell most other jupyter projects are under the Pypi jupyter org, but not this one.

Other that might need moving:

• ipywidgets
• pythreejs
• ipydatagrid
• ipyleaflet
• jupyterlab-sidecar

Matthias, it looks like you are a maintainer of the package.

CC @SylvainCorlay (as ipywidgets SSC rep) and @martinRenou (who has been doing some recent releases).

How exactly would we move the project under the jupyter org?

[Carreau]

an owner should go to https://pypi.org/manage/project/ipywidgets/settings/, click on "Transfer Project", select "jupyter" (person need to be part of the org), and valid.

I can do it, but don't want to overstep.

Ping @martinRenou and @SylvainCorlay for their thoughts

[Carreau]

Ping on this. Can the EC be proactive about this and regularly check with people until they give an answer ?

[martinRenou]

Sorry for the late answer. I just looked into it and it seems I can't move the project under the jupyter organization.

[Carreau]

I guess the question is: "is it ok if it is moved" (I believe I can move it)

[martinRenou]

I believe it makes sense to put ipywidgets and other jupyter-widgets org packages (pythreejs, ipydatagrid, ipyleaflet, jupyterlab-sidecar) under the jupyter organization, as they are official jupyter projects.

[Carreau]

Well then let's have a list of project that should be moved.

[jasongrout]

@Carreau - I emailed the jupyter widgets council and CCd you.

[Carreau]

Thanks.

Hi @Carreau, thanks for the nudging. We're doing our best on the EC to keep up with tasks. I know it doesn't feel like it at times, but I promise you, we're working hard and putting in lots of time 😅. The load far outweighs the number of hands we have.

I think staying proactive on everything is likely not possible. It's helpful to have folks keep raising awareness like you're doing. We appreciate you and your help a ton ❤️

[Carreau]

No worries ! I hope the move to the LF and raising funds will help to maybe hire someone to handle some of those task more regularly.
