02:38 pdurbin skay: re-reading through the log (busy day) I see you had some questions that may not have been answered
02:39 pdurbin I'm gonna run out and shovel snow but if there's any lingering question, please let me know
05:06 axfelix joined #dvn
09:38 balo :D
14:11 pdurbin balo: what are you smiling at? ;)
14:39 balo pdurbin: you ran out and shovel some snow :D
14:40 balo it weren't any snow yet in this winter around here
14:52 pdurbin snow day today. I'm home with the kids
15:05 balo good to hear
15:26 pdurbin they're pretty excited
15:38 skay having grown up in Texas on the gulf coast, and rarely seeing snow (the most exciting snow we had was enough to fill our slide, but with no sticking on the ground)
15:38 skay I love living in Chicago where we get snow for free
15:39 skay It helps that I do not need to drive
15:39 skay we set up a house cam for my mom
15:39 skay well, actually we set up a house cam out of curiosity to see if a neighborhood cat is handling hte snow okay
15:42 skay ultimate challenge is to set up something like what the spacemon irc bot does for ps1 https://wiki.pumpingstationone.org/Spacemon
15:43 skay but my spouse and I have all these other things we want to do and that one is down the list
16:01 axfelix joined #dvn
16:04 pdurbin heh. snow for free
16:07 posixeleni joined #dvn
16:13 posixeleni skay: Good mid-week morning! I maintain the Dataverse Network Project site and was wondering if your team would be ok with us listing your current work with us on our Apps page http://thedata.org/book/apps? Thought it would fit well on there considering its similar to our collaboration w/ OSF.
16:15 skay posixeleni: I am okay with it. let me ask my PI! She will probably be okay with it too.
16:17 skay we should have a news/blog section on our site so we could discuss these types of things
16:19 posixeleni skay: thanks! sounds good. All we would need is a brief description about Research Compendia and the name of the plugin or add-on that you are creating to connect with us. Maybe a link to your git repo?
16:21 LyndsySimon joined #dvn
16:25 pdurbin posixeleni: maybe a link to a github issue a la this one: integration between OSF and Dataverse Network (DVN) · Issue #112 · CenterForOpenScience/openscienceframework.org - https://github.com/CenterForOpenScience/openscienceframework.org/issues/112
16:26 pdurbin skay: if you have such a link already :)
16:28 posixeleni that would be perfect!
16:30 skay posixeleni: Victoria things that would be great. Would you also like to be listed on our partners page?
16:30 skay things
16:30 skay arg. I make type at computer
16:30 * skay plays animated gif with crazy typing
16:31 skay pdurbin: I should make up a nice issue to track versus the quick todo I made https://github.com/researchcompendia/researchcompendia/issues/150 let me edit that
16:32 posixeleni skay: no worries! we would love to! let me know whatever info you need
16:32 skay posixeleni: I think a vectorized logo would be good
16:33 skay we don't have any designers to make our site have a consistent look and feel and all of the other goodness tht would result from having a designer ... so I do not have a good request
16:33 skay such as -- do you have branding logos that are appropriate for b/w, color, light/dark etc
16:33 skay right now our page looks like this: http://researchcompendia.org/partners/
16:34 skay so whatever logo you think is appropriate
16:34 skay and then we can add verbiage as appropriate if you like, or just have hte logo
16:34 skay btw, I approached rackspace to ask for a community account for open science related endeavors and they allowed that
16:35 skay so if you folks have something that would not push it over 2K per month talk to us about it
16:36 skay right now I only am using a couple of vms for research compendia, some cloudfiles, and a couple of vms for the scipy conference site, as well as a vm where I have graphite
16:37 skay pdurbin: do you use jenkins or something like that?
16:37 pdurbin skay: jenkins. yes
16:37 pdurbin skay: so... do you have an "integrate with dataverse" github issue?
16:38 skay I am trying to think of what kinds of computing resources to offer, and I think maybe running jenkins for open source science projects could be nice
16:38 skay pdurbin: making that now
16:38 pdurbin +1
16:38 posixeleni skay: would this work for a logo http://thedata.org/files/thedata_new2/files/thedatabanner4_1.png ?
16:39 pdurbin skay: I bet you'd like this: Scientific Python - Community - Google+ - https://plus.google.com/communities/108773711053400791849
16:39 pdurbin you could float your jenkins idea there
16:39 skay good idea
16:40 skay posixeleni: Perhaps, do you have one that is transparent?
16:40 pdurbin skay: I could probably log #hackingscience for you if you want
16:40 skay posixeleni: we can use tht one for you
16:41 skay pdurbin: let me think about that.
16:41 pdurbin ok
16:41 skay s/that one for you/that one for now
16:41 skay pdurbin: I remember someone being hesitent to ask questions in #openhatch due to it being logged
16:42 skay which has me pondering whether I'd want to log channels -- I think logs are very useful but I am weighing that against reactions like that person had
16:42 posixeleni skay: thanks! I will check with my colleagues to see if we have a transparent one
16:47 pdurbin skay: this is why I log this channel: http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2007/05/maximizing-the-value-of-your-keystrokes.html
16:47 skay pdurbin: we logged jabber rooms at work -- particularly the operations chatroom
16:48 skay (which was called the soc)
16:49 skay that room was like mission control with big flat planed monitors hanging on the wall, and one of them would tail the soc chat room
16:49 skay it makes me want to do a project for our hackerspace where we do something similar
16:51 pdurbin sure
16:52 skay posixeleni: pdurbin: updated issue https://github.com/researchcompendia/researchcompendia/issues/150
16:54 skay pdurbin: I see a lot of groups using https://botbot.me/ for irc logs
16:59 posixeleni skay: i got a transparent png logo for ya. Want me to email it or prefer if we host it on our end?
17:00 pdurbin skay: the issue looks great
17:00 pdurbin posixeleni: you saw it?
17:01 skay posixeleni: neat. I've been taking hte logos and hosting them with our other static assets on s3 (and probably later cloudfiles CDN)
17:01 skay but I'm not an expert in that type of thing, so let me know what is better for you
17:02 skay go ahead send me an email with it for now
17:02 posixeleni pdurbin: skay: yes saw the issue and looks good! will add a link to our Apps page. Will send a draft of what we would likely post on that page to you by tomorrow? Sound good?
17:02 skay posixeleni: sounds great. thanks for thinking of this!
17:03 skay posixeleni: let me know if there is a guideline for whether we should host the logo or you should
17:06 posixeleni skay: totally fine with you hosting our logo; just sent it
17:08 skay Cool!
17:10 pdurbin posixeleni: who me? I'll rubber stamp it ;)
17:11 pdurbin "ship it!"
17:11 posixeleni pdurbin: skay: for both of you to approve! ;)
17:11 pdurbin :)
17:11 skay pdurbin: while you are in this mood, will you accept my pull request?
17:11 skay :D
17:13 skay pdurbin: do you know rliebz? that person forked the project and has some changes
17:14 skay they have not made a pull request
17:14 pdurbin skay: hmm, probably Robert_Liebowitz from yesterday: http://irclog.iq.harvard.edu/dvn/2014-01-21
17:14 pdurbin right?
17:15 skay sounds very likely! I am wondering if he will want to do a pull request at some point, and also, I am sure he would have opinions on how best to package things
17:16 skay it doesn't look like he hangs out in #openscienceframework
17:16 pdurbin skay: how about if I give him push access to the upstream repo so he can merge in the change if he wants to?
17:16 skay I suppose I can ask him next time he shows up
17:17 pdurbin skay: or should I give you push access so you can merge it yourself? jeff and josh from OSF already have push access
17:17 skay I don't know him that well, have you worked with him before?
17:17 pdurbin LyndsySimon: you can have push access to if you want
17:17 skay I will totally love to have push access
17:17 pdurbin skay: he works for OSF/COS... that's good enough for me :)
17:17 skay I am going to be conservative at first
17:17 skay I think I'll ping them to ask for a sanity check before I merge anything
17:18 pdurbin the dvn api python library was OSF's (great) idea to begin with
17:18 pdurbin skay: those guys are smart wtih python. me... not so much
17:18 pdurbin i rewrote my sword api testing scripts from python to ruby. fits my brain a little better. though perl was my first love
17:19 skay pdurbin: where are those checked in?
17:19 skay I went from perl to tcl to python
17:20 skay I have nothing against ruby. It just happens that I encountered python first
17:20 LyndsySimon joined #dvn
17:20 pdurbin skay: do you want to make fun of my python and ruby? ;)
17:21 skay I am also not wedded to django. I picked that as a reasonably stable framework to run with when I got hired
17:21 pdurbin skay: here they are: https://github.com/IQSS/dvn/tree/develop/tools/scripts/data-deposit-api
17:21 pdurbin wow. tcl
17:21 skay I thought at first they would have me extending/refactoring a java app but the collaboration never provided all of the legacy java code and we eventually went our route since we wanted to make an open source project
17:22 skay and I'm glad that happened because I did not want to refactor/extend a struts app
17:22 skay hey, I really liked tcl
17:22 axfelix joined #dvn
17:23 skay very friendly people too
17:23 skay which is also true for python and I am sure for ruby folks too
17:23 LyndsySimon Just saw the notification for this channel, catching up.
17:24 balo I'm a ruby and a java people. So am I double as friendly? :D
17:24 skay :)
17:24 skay I'm java, python, and jython!
17:24 LyndsySimon OK, gotchya. @rliebz on Github is with COS.
17:25 skay I'm @codersquid, with researchcompendia
17:25 balo I plan to work with jruby. but it doesn't make it a language :b
17:25 skay balo: I also was reading groovy (not writing much) because at my last job we were starting to use gradle rather than ant
17:26 skay balo: are you familiar with glu? it also uses groovy. we were using that for deployment
17:26 skay I am not sure why they picked glu over some of the other frameworks
17:27 pdurbin LyndsySimon: yeah, he emailed me yesterday morning. I'm glad he popped in here
17:27 pdurbin javaeebot: lucky glu groovy
17:27 javaeebot pdurbin: http://pongasoft.github.io/glu/docs/latest/html/
17:27 skay I would also like to spend some time on javascript
17:27 pdurbin "glu is a free/open source deployment and monitoring automation platform"
17:28 pdurbin neat
17:28 skay and I wish I had done everything in say, django-rest-framework with angularjs on top or something like that
17:28 skay pdurbin: it is not bad. checkout some demo videos online or people talk about it
17:28 pdurbin skay: well, for now we're happy with jenkins. gets the job done
17:28 skay and it was developed by linkedin so it has to survive under crazy conditions -- well, also by orbitz where I worked
17:29 skay we used a combo of jenkins with glu and some other things
17:29 LyndsySimon @pdurbin I don't think I have a reason to have push access at this point - and the paranoid sysadmin in me says that I shouldn't have access I don't need :)
17:29 skay btw, do you use graphite? we used an orbitz internal library with erma to send to streambase to send to graphite
17:29 skay it's very useful, so I wanted to suggest it if you were not aware of it
17:29 skay pdurbin: but rather than streambase you'd probably want to use statsd
17:30 pdurbin skay: folks in #crimsonfu use graphite
17:30 pdurbin LyndsySimon: ok. no pressure :)
17:30 skay pdurbin: I was about to pste https://graphite.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ for you
17:31 skay because if you look for graphite docs you might find some old crufty wiki
17:31 balo i never heard of glu before
17:31 pdurbin javaeebot: lucky erma streambase
17:31 javaeebot pdurbin: http://www.streambase.com/news-and-events/press-releases/pr-2008/orbitz-unveils-new-open-source-software-for-high-speed-event-processing-application-monitoring-analytics-and-graphing/
17:32 skay pdurbin: balo: we had some jenkins jobs that would work with git commits on release (I think? it's been a while, can't remember exactly) and would automatically package releases, and then work in conjunction with a glu fabric file to deploy that stack to an environment, whether it be an integration one or not
17:32 skay we were in the middle of having that work everywhere
17:33 * skay looks up crimsonfu
17:33 skay ha, I am a coder who vaguely sysadms
17:33 skay which I need to do more of due to being only one person on Victoria's team with this type of experience
17:33 skay I'm the industry fu person
17:34 skay ooo salt, I just learned about that hte other day when one of hte salt guys (lives around here) gave a talk for us at our linux user group
17:34 pdurbin javaeebot: google crimsonfu
17:34 javaeebot pdurbin: crimsonfu - sysadmins who code: <http://crimsonfu.github.io/>; Philip Durbin: <http://crimsonfu.github.io/members/pdurbin/>; crimsonfu (crimsonfu) · GitHub: <https://github.com/crimsonfu>; IRC log for #crimsonfu, 2012-11-05: <http://irclog.perlgeek.de/crimsonfu/2012-11-05>; IRC log for #crimsonfu, 2012-04-13: <http://irclog.perlgeek.de/crimsonfu/2012-04-13>; IRC log for #crimsonfu, (1 more message)
17:35 skay pdurbin: okay, so if youw ant to play with graphite yourself, one of hte maintainers created a repo that installs a graphite example stack https://github.com/obfuscurity/synthesize which I found to be really helpful
17:35 pdurbin ok
17:35 pdurbin thanks :)
17:35 * pdurbin is too busy to play ;)
17:35 skay oh okay
17:36 skay btw, do you use aspects? I don't know if that is something spring people do only -- aspect oriented programming can make want to kill people
17:36 skay on the other hand, it's really nice for some things... so speaking of graphite
17:36 skay and logging -- monitirng stuff basically, you can make some aspects to do monitoring and logging crap for you
17:37 skay some of the guys who worked on our lib-monitoring library created annotations for us to do nice crap like that
17:37 skay I want some for python (I think I found some in perfmetrics)
17:37 skay I am less familiar with non-spring based things
17:38 skay we had some legacy j2ee ejb stuff but I didn't have to spend too much time on it.s pring/hibernate
17:38 skay that's what I mostly did
17:38 skay I will stop blathering now. sorry about that
17:38 skay I tend to get excited about graphite and monitring
17:45 pdurbin heh
17:45 pdurbin AOP? not really
17:49 skay AOP, I know. I had people at work overuse it and it filled me with stabby rage. (just kidding)
17:50 skay debugging is painful in that case
17:54 pdurbin :)
17:55 skay (I'm a technical co-chair for scipy btw, hence providing vms for the conference site)
17:55 skay that is another way to ask for commit rights
17:55 skay I have commit rights on scipy-conference, see? I am not a complete flake
17:55 skay I only sound like one
20:14 pdurbin javaeebot: lucky scipy
20:14 javaeebot pdurbin: http://scipy.org/

21:07 pdurbin LyndsySimon: Dataverse Network - Suggestion #3426: Allow for Dataverse to send a notification / synching service (web hook) to an application that is using our Data Deposit API - Project Management at IQSS, Harvard University - https://redmine.hmdc.harvard.edu/issues/3426
21:08 pdurbin LyndsySimon: that's new. can you please show it to your people when you get a chance?
21:08 LyndsySimon Absolutely! thanks :)
21:08 pdurbin jwhitney: it's something you guys requested
21:15 pdurbin skay: you're having decent success with dvn-4, right?
21:15 jwhitney pdurbin: cool, thanks for the link
21:15 skay yes, though I am taking a day off from doing dvn stuff to add a crude citation thing
21:20 pdurbin jwhitney: sure
21:21 pdurbin skay: great. thanks. noted in the internal ticket
