+### New agenda items
+
+- [ ] [jupyter-xarray-tiler](https://jupyter-xarray-tiler.readthedocs.io/)
+    - The idea: A toolkit for developers of Jupyter interactive map widgets (ipyleaflet, leafmap, folium, ipyopenlayers) to add support for visualizing Xarray datasets without writing to a file (the typical approach). Uses TiTiler (maybe eventually xpublish-tiles) to serve map tiles. Uses jupyter-server-proxy to enable the JS map app to access the tiles regardless of where Jupyter is running ([needs testing](https://github.com/geojupyter/jupyter-xarray-tiler/issues/21)).
+    - Is this a good idea? Leafmap currently [has tooling for visualizing Xarray datasets ](https://leafmap.org/common/?h=array_to_memory_file#leafmap.common.array_to_memory_file), but it seems to write the entire array to a memory file to make this work. Does the tiler approach work better on constrained systems (e.g. JupyterHub)?
+        - Benny: E.g. on a 4GB JupyterHub instance, would the memory file approach crash the server?
+        - Benny: Will find a huge raster for testing!
+        - TODO: Compare with other approaches! https://github.com/geojupyter/jupyter-xarray-tiler/issues/22
+        - Esha & Benny: Will try some other approaches together tomorrow!
+    - Demo
+- [ ] More clear onramps for new community members
+    - Common question: "I want to get involved, but I don't know where to start!"
+    - How can we better surface startable issues for new community members?
+    - How can we better direct folks to this location :point_up: How can the website change to serve this need?
