Link to the official YouTube channel from the web site

The YouTube channel doesn't have "Jupyter" in the name, so some people may be unsure whether it's an official Jupyter presence. Can we have a link to it in the footer, beside our other social media, and/or from the Community page? Thanks!

Should the handle be updated to @jupyter instead of the current @ipython?

Someone already seems to be using it: https://www.youtube.com/@jupyter. Maybe we can make a request to YouTube to change that, if possible?

Per the governance docs, I can reach out to the trademarks committee (jupyter-trademarks@googlegroups.com) about the case above. None of us should be making such a request on our own.

@JasonWeill reached out to the trademarks committee, which is how I learned of this discussion, so here's the response I provided there. This is currently just my take as one member of the committee, not speaking on behalf of the entire committee:

I took a quick look and it looks like this channel was registered long before Jupyter was a twinkle in anyone's eye. If you click on "About this channel", you'll find out that this person joined May 7, 2006, so that lines up between IPython 0.7.1 and 0.7.2 releases, so it's almost certainly not one we have control over. Jupyter first usage is in July 2014, for reference.

Given that the account has been sitting there idle, I don't expect it's worth pursuing. For example, https://twitter.com/jupyter is also not us, and also was registered in 2009, well before "Jupyter" began being used in lieu of "IPython Notebook".

Personally, I think it make sense if using the "IPython" channel is confusing for Jupyter users, we could either rename it to "ProjectJupyter" or make a new channel with that name, or something similar.

That sounds good, and it looks like it's still available.

Hello. I was interested in this issue and was just curious if the youtube channel name was going to be changed?

[jtpio]

@lokashrinav I sent an email to the Jupyter Media Strategy group to inform them about this change. Hopefully we can move forward with this change (updating the name of the YouTube channel to "Project Jupyter") in the coming days.
