15:00	pdurbin	donsizemore: good morning. First, please check this out. You're not the only one who likes the new "persona" labels: https://twitter.com/aecoppock/status/885507430041440262 :)
15:11	donsizemore	i heartily approve!
15:14	donsizemore	@pdurbin so, a guy from WCU wants to swap metadata and he sent me ADFS metadata. before I even pester Jan, are you aware of any other institution running Dataverse and federating with ADFS for shib?
15:41		jhand joined #dataverse
15:50	pdurbin	donsizemore: I'm afraid that this is all I've got on ADFS: https://github.com/IQSS/dvn/wiki/configuring-ADFS-relying-party
15:52	donsizemore	@pdurbin i can send you the XML he sent me (if you'd like it for reference?) but I suspect I'll be running this by Jan and possibly (but hopefully not) telling the gentleman no.
15:56	pdurbin	donsizemore: I don't particularly want the ADFS XML personally. I have enough XML in my life. Did that wiki page help at all? I'm asking because a long long time ago I did get Shibboleth working with the ADFS setup of the guy who created that wiki page.
15:57	pdurbin	donsizemore: you could try asking in ##shibboleth too
16:19	donsizemore	@pdurbin thank you!
16:23	pdurbin	oh sure

21:10	dataverse-user	Hello!
21:10	pameyer	hi dataverse-user
21:11	dataverse-user	I support a federal government research organization that produces data and tools.
21:11	dataverse-user	And I've been asked to look into the submission requirements and whether there are any costs involved.
21:11	dataverse-user	They have several projects that reach maturity each year or two.
21:13	pameyer	It sounds to me like your question is related to depositing data in https://dataverse.harvard.edu (rather than installing the dataverse software and hosting a server your group) - is this correct?
21:14	dataverse-user	Correct. they wish to provide data and tools as part of the previous President's Open Data Policy Initiative
21:15	dataverse-user	Are there costs to hosting the data (and tools)?
21:15	dataverse-user	What are the submission/approval requirements?
21:15	dataverse-user	ah. That's link to more info?
21:16	pameyer	some institutions install the dataverse software at their own sites (it's free and open source from https://github.com/iqss/dataverse) - but that's the Harvard Dataverse
21:17	pameyer	I'd don't know the answers to your questions about costs and submission/approval requirements - but supportdataverse.harvard.edu should
21:17	dataverse-user	The link just sent was "Page not found"
21:17	pameyer	sorry - probably typos on my part
21:17	pameyer	hang on a few
21:17	dataverse-user	OK. Thanks. I will ask. Is it on GitHub or uses GitHub?
21:18	pameyer	https://dataverse.harvard.edu/ is the URL for Harvard Dataverse
21:18	pameyer	data isn't stored on GitHub; but software development happens there
21:19	pameyer	supportdataverse.org is the "typo-free" support email
21:19	pameyer	does that help?
21:38	pdurbin	pameyer: you're helping me. Thanks! :)
21:38	pameyer	no problem :)
21:39	pdurbin	There are actually three installations of Dataverse around the world that let anyone create an account.
21:41	pdurbin	I believe I last wrote about this at https://groups.google.com/d/msg/dataverse-community/HqnMk1RzNzo/UoHD1yEwAAAJ
21:42	pameyer	I hadn't known that - but you keep closer watch on the map than I do
21:42	pdurbin	I'm not sure if the map reveals this very well.
21:43		donsizemore joined #dataverse
21:44	pdurbin	I'd like there to be an API to hit to get a list of all the installations of Dataverse. I wrote about this here: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/dataverse-community/ybGAz3y3Cws/G69Fz6fhAgAJ
21:45	pdurbin	They're already in a database. That's what powers the map. You can't get a list via API though.
21:45	pameyer	sounds like my recurring theme of "I should put any db query I do regularly into an API because somebody else might want to do it to"
21:46	pdurbin	yeah
21:53	dataverse-user	THank you!
21:53	dataverse-user	Thank you!
21:53	pameyer	@dataverse-user - You're welcome!
21:56	pdurbin	:)
