01:55 donsizemore bencomp pdurbin: thank you for the readme! i tweaked it a little and added a usage example
01:56 donsizemore you all absolutely won't step on my toes by ripping things out and replacing with something better. i was hoping for your expertise in the glassfish configuration section =)

16:43 pdurbin shauna: great! my version is a variation on what's already posted at https://sbgrid.org/news/sbgrid-affiliate-job-postings
16:44 pdurbin hold on while I pastebin it

16:49 pdurbin shauna: ok. here's my version. just a draft, of course: https://paste.fedoraproject.org/296695/
16:50 pdurbin what do you think?
16:51 pdurbin shauna: I tried to take to heart your feedback on a previous version where you said "It's also just a list of things you should be.  Have a PhD!  Be a strong programmer!  Be familiar with databases!  There's only a few short bits about what you're expected to *do*." http://irclog.iq.harvard.edu/dataverse/2015-11-05#i_26836
16:51 pdurbin hopefully this is better. tells more about what one would *do* on the job

18:01 * shauna clicks the pastebin link
18:02 shauna "the successful candidate will have a degree" what does this mean?
18:02 shauna It reads to me as "don't apply unless you have a degree", but it's really weird phrasing (which to be fair I've seen before) so I could be wrong.
18:02 pdurbin "the successful candidate will have a degree in a quantitative field"
18:03 shauna Yes, but does that mean people should not apply unless they have a degree in a quantitative field?
18:03 pdurbin um
18:03 pdurbin I probably should have changed that.
18:03 shauna :)
18:03 pdurbin good point
18:04 pdurbin I tried to keep most if it in the original voice.
18:05 shauna I parse the "needed experience" section as including: strong programming experience, knowledge of linux, knowledge of shell scripting, databases, mercurial and git.
18:05 pdurbin yeah, more or less
18:05 shauna I don't pass that test, because I don't know mercurial.
18:05 pdurbin whoops
18:06 pdurbin should have been an or
18:06 bencomp joined #dataverse
18:06 shauna How much shell scripting will this candidate need to do?  My experience is that it's pretty easy to pick up.
18:07 pdurbin oh, probably not that much
18:07 shauna If you want your person to have all of these attributes before applying, with no room to be trained into them on the job, then your language is good.
18:08 shauna But a lot of people, especially women, assume that statements like "necessary" and "essential" are for real and won't apply unless they have them.
18:08 shauna So someone might be a total catch, with lots of experience in many of the areas, but not realize that you're willing to get them up to speed on shell scripting, for instance.
18:09 pdurbin that makes sense
18:09 pdurbin shauna: is it at least better about describing what the person would do?
18:09 shauna Yes, definitely.
18:09 pdurbin cool
18:09 pdurbin that was my main goal
18:11 shauna Glad to be of help.  :)
18:12 pdurbin shauna: thanks again
18:22 bricas hey y'all. is there an option to disable the automatic unzip of files on upload? or am i stuck zipping a zip? (since it seems to only go 1 level deep)
18:24 pdurbin bricas: you're stuck zipping a zip
18:25 pdurbin bricas: please see To zip or not to zip · Issue #2107 · IQSS/dataverse - https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/issues/2107

20:08 bricas pdurbin: have a sec to chat DOI stuff?
20:16 LyndsySimon joined #dataverse
20:23 pdurbin bricas: shoot
20:25 bricas pdurbin: (i gotta leave soon, but just leave me a note if you could and i'll read it in a bit)
20:26 bricas pdurbin: anyway, my q:
20:26 pdurbin (me too)
20:26 bricas pdurbin: are DOIs in dataverse an all or nothing thing? we can't say these ones don't get dois, but these do?
20:26 pdurbin pretty sure it's all or nothing
20:27 pdurbin every dataset gets a DOI
20:27 pdurbin well, a persistent identifier
20:27 pdurbin only DOI is supported at the moment
20:27 bricas my org wants to use dataverse to house secondary data, which probably already has a doi at the source, but we probably shouldn't generate one (though i don't think it's all that bad)
20:27 jeffspies__ joined #dataverse
20:28 bricas pdurbin: is there no handle.net support?
20:29 pdurbin bricas: DRAFT - Handle Functional Requirements Document (FRD) https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uRSQ8874ljOk3emH7WRLaoRJ3BIKslJ9LVrN5ANaw2Y/edit?usp=sharing
20:30 pdurbin not in Dataverse 4. not yet
20:30 pdurbin bricas: it sounds like you want to use "other id" or whatever we call it
20:30 bricas oh?
20:31 pdurbin yeah. "Other ID"
20:32 pdurbin https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/blob/v4.2.1/scripts/api/data/metadatablocks/citation.tsv#L7
20:34 bricas is this an editable field somewhere?
20:34 pdurbin yep
20:36 bricas ah. there it is!
20:37 bricas so, we can mint identifiers outside dataverse and then enter them as needed.
20:37 pdurbin yep
20:38 bricas okay. thanks again. :)
20:38 bricas cheers.
20:38 pdurbin cheers
