[TRACKING] Kubeflow 1.9.0 (Notebooks WG Components) about kubeflow HOT 2 OPEN

@kimwnasptd please suggest/add things you want to include in 1.9.0 to this tracking issue.

from kubeflow.

Hello @kubeflow/wg-notebooks-leads, this is a kind reminder that Monday, March 4th will be our Kubeflow 1.9 release development checkpoint, we will be halfway through our dev cycle, and we expect most of the work to be well underway (reminder: code freeze is scheduled for Apr 15th)

Can you please acknowledge your status with respect to your roadmap, comment on the progress made so far, and provide an assessment of the work that remains?

Understandably, the design phase for Notebooks 2.0 seems to still be in progress. Is it still applicable to consider Notebooks 2.0 part of the KF 1.9 release, even in alpha phase?

Also, can you please update the above comment with the list of 1.8.1 issues that could not be fixed in that patch release, and list them out here? There are still unfinished sections above. Let's try and have a short but clear comment with all the work that is still pending for a successful release.

Please proactively let the release team know if there are delays, blockers, or uncertain situations, know so that we can align expectations and try and help you out, if possible.
