Open infrastructure for research and education

We’re a non-profit that believes communities shouldn’t choose between managing their own servers and vendor lock-in. We operate shared cloud infrastructure so your community can focus on its work, not its servers, and we invest back into the open source tools that make it possible.

What is a community hub?

A hub is a cloud environment where your community can access shared tools, data, and computational resources.

How we are different

Non-profit, no vendor lock-in

As a non-profit, our only obligation is to the research and education communities we serve. Your Right to Replicate means you can take your infrastructure anywhere, with or without us.

Open source collaboration

We listen to researchers and educators, then work with upstream open source projects on solutions that benefit the whole ecosystem, not just our members.

Cross-community learning

Our network connects communities across disciplines. When geoscientists and biologists face similar challenges, we bridge the gap through shared tools and practices.

Recent work

We share our progress and impact on our blog.

Rebuilding Project Pythia's gallery on reusable MyST tooling

Rebuilding Project Pythia’s gallery on reusable MyST tooling

At the 2026 Pythia Cookoff at NCAR, we spent some hackathon time rebuilding the Project Pythia Cookbook Gallery and blog on shared MyST Engine tooling, replacing the one-off custom scripts Pythia had been using before.

Allow limiting access to Dask Gateway based on group membership

Allow limiting access to Dask Gateway based on group membership

Starting with Dask Gateway version v2026.3.0, JupyterHub access scopes support has been added to Dask-Gateway. That means hub admins can now set, via JupyterHub role-based access control (RBAC), which hub users or groups have access to Dask-Gateway.

Accessibility improvements in Jupyter Book

Accessibility improvements in Jupyter Book

We helped shepherd and implement a batch of accessibility improvements in myst-theme as part of the Jupyter Book project. The Jupyter Book team blogged about it here: jupyterbook.org/blog/posts/2026/accessibility-improvements Accessibility is a key part of making technology broadly impactful and useful, and it’s increasingly a requirement for the institutions we serve.
