This project was designed to integrate with Statistic Canada’s The Zone platform. In The Zone, users can create individual workspaces with Kubeflow Notebooks. To persist their work, users can attach volumes to their notebooks. These volumes are not automatically deleted when a notebook is deleted. Users are free to move them or to reuse them. As a result, over time, users tend to amass several unused volumes. These volumes sit on the cloud and result in unnecessary costs. The purpose of this project is to design an automatic system that detects these unused volumes and safely removes them, reducing unnecessary expenditure. Despite being primarily designed for Statistics Canada, this project strongly values open-source practices. The codebase is available for public use and the entire development process is documented on the issues page. The volume cleaner was designed to have as little coupling as possible so it can easily integrate into projects outside Statistics Canada. Using open-source and being open-source was an important development philosophy.

Jupyter Book is an open-source tool for building publication-quality books and documents from computational material. Jupyter Book allows users to write their content in Markdown files or Jupyter notebooks, include computational elements (e.g., code cells) in either type, include rich syntax such as citations, cross-references, and numbered equations, and using a simple command, run the embedded code cells, cache the outputs and convert this content into: a web-based interactive book and a publication-quality PDF.

Notification Documentation is an open-source project or repository maintained by Canadian Digital Service in Canada.

Common Document Generation Service is an open-source project or repository maintained by Government of British Columbia in Canada.

An Indy Tails Server is file server that is designed to receive, store and serve Hyperledger Indy Tails files. Indy tails files are generated by an issuer of Indy AnonCred verifiable credentials when a Revocation Registry is created and must be published to a location accessible by all holders that receive a credential referenced in that Revocation Registry. The generated file is static, it does not change, and the credential holders use the tails file to produce a zero-knowledge proof of non-revocation about their credential and include it when responding to a proof request with a proof that includes claims from a revocable credential. If you are new to Indy AnonCreds Revocation, please review this document to understand how Indy revocation works, and where tails files fit in. An Indy Tails Server is a customized file server that makes it easy for AnonCred Issuers to publish tails files and for holders to access those tails files. A tails file does not have to be published to an Indy Tails Server, they can be published anywhere as long as there exists a URL accessible to all holders to access the tails file. If holders are mobile iOS or Android apps, the URL must use SSL (e.g. must be https:) due to the restrictions in those OS's. Support for publishing tails files to an Indy Tails Server is built into Aries Cloud Agent Python.
