Thanks I'd like to give 🙌

• Many thanks to @sgibson91 for putting together the Binder tutorial for AGU 2021 :-)

Updates from last week ✔

• I spent most of my time last week giving presentations and tutorials for AGU

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

• I have a few blog posts I'd like to get out before I take time off, I would appreciate any 👀 if I can get a draft done soon enough, but no worries if others are already off and don't have the time.
• I am stressed out about gke.mybinder.org, which will run out of credits on Wednesday.

My availability for next week

• I'm around through Wednesday, though will likely be less present than normal due to being with my family. I'm prioritizing "wrap up" stuff and blog posts for the end of the year, but happy to help with anything if folks need me.
