01:31 iamtimmo Good! Hope you’re relaxing then. Just getting myself reconnected with DV communication channels.

03:01 adam_____ and here i am
03:01 adam_____ old skool. havent used irc for a while :)
03:02 pdurbin adam_____: I set up a friendly interface for newbies: http://chat.dataverse.org :)
03:02 adam_____ nice!
03:02 adam_____ i love irc but recently been very much enjoying mattermost
03:02 pdurbin adam_____: so you're into good product design? https://botbot.me/freenode/opensourcedesign/msg/59725193/
03:03 adam_____ im into that yes, and also building a model that can work for other oss projects to enable good product design
03:03 adam_____ eg http://www.adamhyde.net/leadership-diversity-and-sector-change-in-open-source/
03:04 adam_____ im not just after good product design im looking to work with people to change OSS so it workds better for user facing products
03:04 adam_____ i believe in this case OSS culture is broken
03:05 pdurbin well, #opensourcedesign is a great place to hang out
03:06 pdurbin good find. if you find other places, please let me know :)
03:06 adam_____ there are a few
03:06 adam_____ and some good thinkers http://mushon.com/
03:08 adam_____ but mostly i see projects struggling to argue for more design in oss user facing products
03:08 pdurbin with our recent rewrite we emphasized UX and usability: http://datascience.iq.harvard.edu/uxworkflows-upgrade-40
03:09 pdurbin hmm, I'll have to check out http://mushon.com/blog/2015/06/15/data-stories-podcast-55-with-me/ ... I'm an occasional listener
03:09 adam_____ yeah. hes a good chap
03:09 adam_____ wrote a lot about collaborative design processes
03:10 adam_____ also, http://opendesignnow.org/
03:10 adam_____ http://openusability.org/
03:10 adam_____ http://opendesign.foundation/
03:11 adam_____ https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2010/09/the-case-for-open-source-design-can-design-by-committee-work/
03:11 adam_____ (by Mushon)
03:14 pdurbin adam_____: I'm still reading your sector change post :)
03:14 adam_____ :)
03:17 pdurbin adam_____: typo. should say "John's case"
03:17 adam_____ :)
03:17 adam_____ thanks
03:17 adam_____ there will be lots. a friend will clean it up soon i think
03:17 pdurbin iamtimmo: isn't this relaxing? :)
03:31 pdurbin adam_____: nice article
03:31 adam_____ thanks
03:31 adam_____ im now doing research into how to improve open source models
03:32 adam_____ looking into software development lifecycles and oss and working out where it all went wrong
03:32 pdurbin at https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/blob/develop/CONTRIBUTING.md we try to emphasize that we are interested in ideas as well as code :)
03:32 adam_____ ( dont read this, just a bucket for those embryonic thoughts. working on it in the next dats http://www.adamhyde.net/collaborative-product-development/)
03:32 adam_____ yeah
03:33 adam_____ i think thats cool
03:33 adam_____ but it comes also down to culture, tools, processes the whole shebang i think
03:34 adam_____ so, i was looking for people to work on ux that would work also to help us build a designer culture into our projects
03:34 adam_____ which is why i popped into opensourcedesign
03:35 pdurbin cool. I think you'll find some good eggs in there. you could also make a pull request against https://github.com/opensourcedesign/jobs
03:36 adam_____ so its active, the community
03:38 garnett joined #dataverse
03:39 pdurbin yep
03:39 garnett joined #dataverse
03:39 adam_____ cool
03:40 pdurbin lots of Europeans who are probably asleep by now... and I'm drifting off
03:40 adam_____ heh
03:40 adam_____ yeah
03:40 adam_____ ok, really nice meeting u
03:40 adam_____ will be back :)
03:40 adam_____ thanks for the tips
03:40 pdurbin likewise
03:41 garnett joined #dataverse
03:45 garnett joined #dataverse
04:34 garnett joined #dataverse
05:09 garnett joined #dataverse
08:14 bencomp joined #dataverse
14:00 bencomp pdurbin: if I added classes in Dataverse that are JPA entities, is it normal that the JPA connector does not create the corresponding tables during deployment?
14:03 pdurbin bencomp: did you undeploy and then redeploy?
14:04 bencomp I didn't create them myself, let me ask Eko. I think he might have redeployed
14:05 bencomp pdurbin: if you undeploy and redeploy, it should work automatically?
14:06 pdurbin should
14:06 pdurbin you're talking about a whole new class, right?
14:07 pdurbin if you're adding columns to an existing table, you'll need to write a migration script
14:09 bencomp yes, a whole new class
14:09 bencomp I remembered there being a migration script
14:10 bencomp thanks
14:10 pdurbin sure. we don't bother writing migration scripts for new classes
14:10 pdurbin we instruct everyone to undeploy and then deploy the new war file
14:13 pdurbin bencomp: it looks like other projects have received that email I forwarded to you: Re: Code Quality Improvements for gremlin - https://www.mail-archive.com/dev@tinkerpop.incubator.apache.org/msg07136.html
14:17 pdurbin Daniel Dietrich on Twitter: "who else got mail from devfactory?" - https://twitter.com/danieldietrich/status/684857010068807685
14:17 bencomp hehe
14:18 pdurbin bencomp: why do we need devfactory? we have you! :)
14:19 pdurbin bencomp: so I created this issue yesterday: Shibboleth: Remote Authentication Phase 1 · Issue #2939 · IQSS/dataverse - https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/issues/2939
14:19 pdurbin bencomp: do you plan to run in "shib only" mode? or will you have a mix of shib and builtin/local users?
14:21 bencomp pdurbin: I convinced our partners that it's okay to have external users register builtin/local accounts, because by default they wouldn't get any role - interesting roles are reserved for partners' users
14:22 pdurbin bencomp: does that mean you're potentially interested in this? Shibboleth: Add superuser API endpoint to migrate Shib user to builtin/local account · Issue #2915 · IQSS/dataverse - https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/issues/2915
14:24 bencomp but if it's available, we might decide to not open up registration for anyone
14:25 pdurbin so you'll need a fix for this: Local account creation URL ignores :AllowSignup · Issue #2838 · IQSS/dataverse - https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/issues/2838
14:25 bencomp we *might*
14:25 bencomp :)
14:25 pdurbin at least two installations will need that fix
14:26 pdurbin sounds like maybe three :)
14:26 bencomp it is one of the things we (or rather the former DataverseNL provider) cut out of DVN
14:27 bencomp (the possibility to sign up for a local account, that is)
14:27 bencomp or tried to :/
14:29 pdurbin yeah, pretty common configuration, I think
14:29 pdurbin "no local accounts"
14:29 bencomp it wasn't trivial in DVN, AFAIK
14:30 pdurbin I believe it.
14:52 * iamtimmo pdurbin: Quick clarifying question: What is the latest 4.x release to which I can directly migrate from 3.6.2?
14:52 * iamtimmo The  instructions here mention 4.0: https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/blob/4.2.3/scripts/migration/migration_instructions.txt
14:52 * iamtimmo These mention 4.02: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JJks0PCHK16iFZJlUmLxjmiA4QWTpa8JvR4l4JT2xfU
14:52 * iamtimmo These mention 4.1 w/ some 4.0’s sprinkled through the text:  https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NAuMn6wfgkNJPnJTnoq-EPW24vCzRkOYtq8pLJlKJbE
14:53 pdurbin iamtimmo: you have to do all the upgrades in between: http://guides.dataverse.org/en/4.2.4/installation/upgrading.html
14:54 pdurbin you migrate to 4.0, then upgrade to 4.0.1, then 4.1 then 4.2 etc at https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/releases
14:55 * iamtimmo pdurbin: Understood. Just want to know which 4.x release I can hop to directly before doing all the in-between migrations.
14:55 pdurbin from what I understand you have to migrate to 4.0
14:55 * iamtimmo okay. then these instructions should probably be corrected: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NAuMn6wfgkNJPnJTnoq-EPW24vCzRkOYtq8pLJlKJbE
14:55 pdurbin iamtimmo: you *might* consider sending us your database and we'll migrate it for you
14:56 pdurbin iamtimmo: where is that linked from?
14:57 * iamtimmo pdurbin: Kevin sent them to me back in November in response to support request regarding migration
14:58 pdurbin oh. ok. do you have an open ticket tracking this?
14:58 * iamtimmo #229533
14:58 * iamtimmo https://help.hmdc.harvard.edu/Ticket/Display.html?id=229533
14:58 pdurbin thanks for the link
14:59 pdurbin iamtimmo: actually that issue was marked resolve in November so the first step would be to reply to the email which will open it back up
15:00 * iamtimmo from that response, I have multiple sources of migration doco that don’t entirely agree with each other, thus the clarifying question, though not as quick as I thought it would be ;-)
15:00 pdurbin iamtimmo: hey, I don't believe you're on the map at http://dataverse.org . Do you want to be?
15:02 * iamtimmo pdurbin: I’m Tim DiLauro at Johns Hopkins University. Technically, we are not on the map because the map says “John”, rather than “Johns”.
15:02 pdurbin whoops! you are on the map. I know who you are :)
15:02 pdurbin ok, so https://archive.data.jhu.edu/dvn/ cool
15:03 * iamtimmo pdurbin: Of course you do. I am Timmo!
15:03 pdurbin heh
15:04 pdurbin it's like how my nieces were upset with me once... "I know your cat's name!"
15:05 pameyer joined #dataverse
15:06 * iamtimmo You forgot the evil laugh\
15:06 pdurbin :)
15:07 pdurbin iamtimmo: I put a reminder here: https://trello.com/c/tEqcyLER/24-fix-john-hopkins-on-map
15:07 * iamtimmo pdurbin: thanks!
15:08 pdurbin oh sure
15:11 pdurbin iamtimmo: in our spreadsheet I moved you from trial to production :)
15:12 * iamtimmo pdurbin: cool! We’ve been up and running for a couple of years. Freeman Lo was our previous contact. I’m the main contact now.
15:13 pdurbin ah, I think I've seen Freeman's name
15:17 pdurbin iamtimmo: there are a bunch of open issues around migration: https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/labels/Component%3A%20Migration
15:19 pdurbin iamtimmo: when you reply to that ticket to reopen it, you are welcome to drop a hint that maybe we could migrate your database for you. If you're into that.
15:20 * iamtimmo pdurbin: Yeah, I saw those. I was paying the most attention to this one: https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/issues/2462
15:21 * iamtimmo I don’t think the migration process will be too onerous. I’m doing the initial migration so that our RDM team can evaluate DV 4.
15:22 * iamtimmo We have a couple of concerns especially around branding and migration from fake Handles to real DOIs that already exist.
15:23 pdurbin hmm. ok
15:23 pdurbin well, I don't personally know much about migration. Re-opening the ticket and asking questions there would be best. Not that I mind reading what the issues are! :)
15:24 pdurbin iamtimmo: map is fixed: http://dataverse.org
15:24 * iamtimmo pdurbin: Noice!
15:25 pdurbin heh
15:25 * iamtimmo Branding-wise, we need something that looks like this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/dn6war7mzqlinsk/Screenshot%202016-02-08%2016.55.25.png?dl=0
15:25 pdurbin iamtimmo: do you keep typing `/me foo bar`? you're "emoting* at lot from the IRC perspective :)
15:26 pdurbin iamtimmo: did you have to change the code to get that look and feel?
15:27 * iamtimmo No, I’m not, but I don’t know what my IRC client is doing. It’s Colloquy.
15:27 pdurbin heh. don't worry about it
15:27 iamtimmo Just changed a setting. This better?
15:27 iamtimmo Yes, yes it is!
15:28 pdurbin much better :)
15:28 pdurbin not to be an IRC snob
15:28 pdurbin you can use /me in gtalk and other places too. slack, probably
15:30 pdurbin for all your emoting needs
15:34 iamtimmo pdurbin: Back to branding… Okay, so yes. I changed Bundle.properties to hold some configuration for the instance branding banner and to add an instanceName parameter to deal with an issue reported by bencomp (https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/issues/2003); modified dataverse_header.xhtml to use the instanceName on the left top navbar; modified to dataverse_template.xhtml to conditionally ui:include my instance branding c
15:34 iamtimmo (instance_header.xhtml and/or instance_footer.xhtml).
15:35 pdurbin iamtimmo: if you had to change the bundle to do what you want, you should probably leave a comment to that effect on the issue. I'd also upload your screenshot.
15:35 iamtimmo My  instance_header.xhtml also overrides some of the css for other existing components.
15:36 iamtimmo pdurbin: I didn’t have to change the bundle, that’s just how I decided to deal with it for now.
15:36 pdurbin iamtimmo: sorry, I mean any code change. such as that xhtml file
15:37 iamtimmo I needed to prove to our team that we could *somehow* manage branding. Once we get migrated and I can hand off to the team for consideration, I’d like to come back to the DV community to figure out the right (or best) way to actually accomplish what we need.
15:38 pdurbin ah, ok
15:38 pdurbin well, that issue is the one to rally around
15:38 iamtimmo Right now, I just have a bunch of patches that I would apply.
15:40 iamtimmo I’m not a css or jsf/jstl guru, but I’ve gotten past the worst of that now. On to migration, so that our folks can see what DV 4.x can do!
15:40 pdurbin cool that you're in the code
15:41 iamtimmo yeah, fun. but I’m not a java dev (or really a dev at all anymore).
