11:55 poikilotherm Excited what they are gonna say
12:45 poikilotherm pdurbin I'm a vulture. Ripping apart stuff not in use since 2016.
14:08 pdurbin joined #dataverse
14:08 pdurbin poikilotherm: awesome job snagging https://github.com/gdcc

14:26 Benjamin_Peuch Hullo hullo
14:26 Benjamin_Peuch Say: wasn't there a call recently for applications for the IQSS Flexible Metadata working group?
14:26 poikilotherm A call?
14:26 pdurbin Yeah, there's a Google doc where you can sign up.
14:30 pdurbin Benjamin_Peuch: linked from here: https://groups.google.com/g/dataverse-community/c/EY0dduRj3Ac/m/EDcEQHLoAwAJ
14:30 Benjamin_Peuch Thanks a lot, pdurbin!
14:33 pdurbin Sure, the working groups haven't met yet. You haven't missed anything. :)
14:35 Benjamin_Peuch Wunderbar
14:37 pdurbin no FOMO
14:39 Benjamin_Peuch None!
14:39 Benjamin_Peuch How have things been, pdurbin?
14:40 pdurbin Not bad. We got a dog. I forget if I told you that. He's snoozing near me. How about you?
14:41 Benjamin_Peuch Doggo!!
14:41 Benjamin_Peuch How did you name them?
14:41 Benjamin_Peuch Things are great here in Belgium. We are bound to finally launch our data archive in October!
14:44 pdurbin His name is Marshall. He's 5 years old and came with that name but we like it. Lots of variations including Marshmallow. Here he is walking: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0EhzUJGwm4 . Great news about your launch!
14:46 Benjamin_Peuch Aww he's adorable.
14:46 Benjamin_Peuch What a cute tail he has.
14:46 Benjamin_Peuch Video of doggo was provided. Satisfaction was had.
14:47 Benjamin_Peuch (And there was much rejoicing.)
14:52 pdurbin :)
15:01 Benjamin_Peuch I don't have a dog but I saw those adorable cats today.
15:01 Benjamin_Peuch https://i.imgur.com/5U6hkMv.jpg
15:02 pdurbin Nice. We have two cats too.
15:02 Benjamin_Peuch And everybody gets along?
15:02 Benjamin_Peuch Orphic endeavors!
15:07 pdurbin well enough :)
16:07 pdurbin poikilotherm (and everyone): oh, I talked to Jim yesterday and he reminded me that Hacktoberfest is coming up. You lead the charge last year, I believe.
16:08 pdurbin Yep, here's the email you sent: https://groups.google.com/g/dataverse-community/c/ootwCQL-4K4/m/00QO3__8CQAJ

17:22 poikilotherm I'm getting prepared with opening PRs, pdurbin. Hoping to get them merged in time.
17:24 pdurbin Ah, so you can get a t-shirt. Ok. :)
17:25 poikilotherm And marvelous stickers 🤣
17:26 poikilotherm The booth they send me last year was great
17:28 pdurbin poikilotherm: sorry to switch gears on you, but I believe you have recent experience on this GDCC vs full DataCite membership question: https://groups.google.com/g/dataverse-community/c/__84HcuIqoA/m/QTDDftH-CAAJ
17:29 poikilotherm Btw pdurbin. While digging, moving and refactoring Gson usage, I stumbled over SWORD2 lib
17:29 poikilotherm Have you seen the DANs Easy fork of it?
17:29 poikilotherm Looks like they spend time on maintaining it
17:30 poikilotherm pdurbin: will take a look sir
17:32 poikilotherm Meh. Cannot reply from my mobile 😔
17:34 pdurbin No, I didn't know DANS forked the SWORDv2 lib. Interesting.
17:48 poikilotherm https://github.com/DANS-KNAW/easy-sword2-lib
17:49 pdurbin 80 commits ahead. Nice.
17:49 poikilotherm Maybe you can recreate your PR from back in 2014 to their repo?
17:49 pdurbin :)
17:50 poikilotherm Dunno if it's customized for easy or still usable for Dataverse
17:50 poikilotherm At least they updated deps
17:50 pdurbin Is it on Maven Central?
17:52 poikilotherm Not sure.
17:52 poikilotherm But maybe we can make them push ist
17:52 poikilotherm We're all friends, right?
17:53 pdurbin of course!
17:53 pdurbin The other thing we could do is absorb the SWORD lib into our code. Any thoughts about that? Good idea? Bad idea?
18:02 poikilotherm Only if we create a submodule for it.
18:03 poikilotherm Also: the code is really old
18:03 poikilotherm Maybe it would be better to start fresh with modern technology
18:04 poikilotherm Like using Jakarta EE instead of all the cruft
18:05 poikilotherm Yet I have no idea if all of this isn't about dead ideas, long buried in sands of time
18:05 poikilotherm New kids on the block with ro-crate
18:07 poikilotherm Sword v3 never seemed to have lift off
18:08 poikilotherm At least the 3.0 spec is in RC2 since July
18:11 pdurbin Did I tell you Richard Jones asked me if I wanted to help maintain that SWORDv2 lib?
18:17 poikilotherm Nope
18:19 pdurbin There used to be chatter on the sword mailing list. He and I talked there some.
18:21 pdurbin Anyway, we have a good relationship with him. And he seems to be a nice guy.
18:37 poikilotherm https://chanzuckerberg.com/rfa/essential-open-source-software-for-science/
18:37 poikilotherm Maybe we can apply for round 4 next year
18:38 poikilotherm We missed cycle 3
18:59 pdurbin maybe
19:03 poikilotherm He. I just claimed gdcc_io on Twitter. Thought about trying to do posts about Kubernetes stuff not from my personal account anymore, like pyDataverse.
19:04 poikilotherm Is GDCC on Twitter?
19:04 pdurbin pyDataverse has its own Twitter account? donsizemore might know if GDCC is on there.
19:05 donsizemore I don't know that GDCC has a Twitter account
19:05 donsizemore in fact, it's available.
19:06 pdurbin don't ask me about tiktok
19:06 poikilotherm Doh! I was sure pyDataverse has its own handle. Turns out it doesnt
19:07 poikilotherm Donsizemore you cannot create a 4 char Twitter handle anymore. These days are long gone :-(
19:08 poikilotherm We could share sth like gdcc_io or similar and start to tweet about the technical projects we do at GDCC.
19:08 pdurbin At least we have separate twitter accounts these days for @dataverseorg vs @harvarddv
19:09 poikilotherm Yeah. :-)
19:10 poikilotherm Are you into Twitter donsizemore?
19:10 poikilotherm I'm using it for work stuff only, so not a big tweeter
19:10 donsizemore yes but i wouldn't dare speak for gdcc
19:12 poikilotherm Of course we need to talk about this with people like Jim, Jon, Merce, .........
19:13 poikilotherm And I don't want to speak for GDCC, just about my share of value I add to it.
19:13 poikilotherm Yet people might find it more interesting when we talk more about the different tech things
19:13 poikilotherm Not just about k8s, but also about ansible and others
19:14 donsizemore oh, i'm with you
19:15 pdurbin and it should be fun
19:16 donsizemore speaking of, did you hear Facebook is reinventing itself with a space especially for college students?
19:17 poikilotherm He. Ever heard of StudiVZ?
19:17 poikilotherm That was a big social network about 10 years ago, only for students.
19:18 poikilotherm Famous in Germany at least
19:18 poikilotherm Interesting how ideas are reborn :-D
19:20 poikilotherm OMG it relaunched this year!
19:30 donsizemore originally Facebook required sign-up with an e-mail address ending in .edu
19:30 donsizemore so now they've returned full circle
19:55 pdurbin poikilotherm donsizemore: another domain that's in play is http://thedata.org . I forget if I've told the history about it.
21:03 pdurbin Ok folks, have a lovely weekend. See you Monday.
21:03 pdurbin left #dataverse
