13:17 pdurbin jeffspies: welcome!
14:11 pdurbin nice! these folks upgraded to DVN 3.6.2! (recently released) http://www.duanaire.ie/dvn/
14:13 jeffspies hi, pdurbin
14:14 jeffspies pdurbin: i'll hangout in this channel on occasion if you don't mind
14:16 pdurbin jeffspies: of course not! anyone from https://osf.io is always welcome! :)
14:16 pdurbin shauna: want you mention to jeffspies our idea for a new "big tent" mailing list?
14:17 jeffspies i'll be getting an irc client with bouncer setup for all of us soon, so we should have more cos folks online more often :)
14:36 pdurbin jeffspies: nice! open offer to log any channels at http://irclog.iq.harvard.edu
14:36 pdurbin backups are here: http://dvn-vm1.hmdc.harvard.edu/data/mysql/
14:37 pdurbin shauna: s/want you/want to/

15:03 shauna hi jeffspies
15:03 jeffspies hi shauna
15:03 shauna pdurbin and I (and kaythaney in #sciencelab) have talked about trying to set up a couple of "big tent" communication channels
15:04 shauna one IRC channel would be nice but obvs there are a lot of open science people who don't use IRC
15:04 shauna so a mailing list which mostly existed to have meta-conversations and alert people to interesting things happening elsewhere (other lists, twitter, IRC, real life) would be nice
15:05 shauna I think the OSF list would be nice for that except unfortunately the name does not suggest big tent
15:05 jeffspies i think #openscience does a good job of this
15:05 jeffspies perhaps just rss'ing there feed
15:05 jeffspies *their
15:06 shauna is #openscience a twitter hashtag?
15:06 jeffspies then people could consume it however they'd like
15:06 shauna or the mailing list
15:06 jeffspies @openscience
15:06 jeffspies sorry
15:06 jeffspies they have a large group of folks that keep up on openscience stuff
15:06 shauna I've liked planets for this in the past as well.
15:06 jeffspies planets?
15:06 shauna errr
15:06 jeffspies i've heard of this at some point
15:07 shauna combined feeds?
15:07 jeffspies no you're right, there's something astronomy related
15:07 jeffspies i set up a combined feed a while back--i could roll that out again under a generic name, but really just a feed of @openscience would provide significant coverage
15:08 pdurbin a planet is just a collection of blogs
15:09 pdurbin searchbot: lucky blog planet
15:09 searchbot pdurbin: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planet_(software)
15:09 jeffspies ah, ok good
15:09 jeffspies that's what i had done
15:09 jeffspies a while back
15:09 pdurbin e.g. http://planet.debian.org
15:09 jeffspies is there a way to turn a twitter stream into an RSS feed?
15:10 shauna It seems like there should be.
15:10 jeffspies or we could get the reddit subreddit going
15:10 jeffspies william gun mods /r/openscience
15:10 jeffspies they have rss for those
15:11 jeffspies and then at least there's more community involved
15:11 shauna people might be hesitant about reddit
15:11 pdurbin shauna: this is already reminding me of [OH-Dev] Alternatives to our web forum - http://lists.openhatch.org/pipermail/devel/2014-April/003533.html
15:11 shauna also maybe william gunn (I like him, but it feels a little weird to have it modded by an employee of Elsevier)
15:11 jeffspies the good thing about reddit is that we know it's feed-able so users don't even need to know it's reddit
15:12 pdurbin yoh: you like open science
15:12 jeffspies i don't have that concern with william--and others also mod it
15:12 jeffspies we could ask that you are given mod privs too
15:12 shauna I don't have that concern?  I'm concerned others would have that concern. But maybe they won't, and if there are other mods...
15:13 shauna There's Discourse, too.  But that's pretty new and mostly I just want a reason to try it out.  :)
15:13 jeffspies strange decision making by discourse regarding threading
15:15 jeffspies and on others thinking: we're an inclusive community thus far, and it would be nice to uphold that no matter if people are concerned that one mod out of several could have a bias
15:15 jeffspies we're all biased anyway :)
15:17 shauna what do you dislike about the threading?
15:22 pdurbin shauna: discourse is not threaded
15:22 shauna It's not completely flat, though.
15:22 pdurbin true
15:22 shauna I thought it was like a mixture of the two?
15:22 shauna It's been a little while since I read their faq, and I've never used it.
15:24 pdurbin shauna: you can play with it here: http://discourse.ubuntu.com
15:24 pdurbin or http://bbs.boingboing.net
15:25 shauna thanks, pdurbin
15:27 pdurbin shauna: sure. see also me trolling Jeff Atwood: Libelous quote-to-reply - Discourse Meta - https://meta.discourse.org/t/libelous-quote-to-reply/724 :)
15:28 shauna ha
15:31 shauna I actually miss web forums.  I hope a community I care about adopts Discourse soon.
15:32 shauna oh pdurbin.  any chance I could interview you (or someone else) about dataverse today?
15:33 shauna the blog needs a post this week :)
15:34 pdurbin not today. gotta ship
15:35 pdurbin shauna: I sent an email around about it though... forwarded it to you
15:36 shauna I saw it!  I presume you will let me know if someone replies.  :)
15:39 pdurbin shauna: "Very interesting and useful, Phil. Thanks!"
15:39 pdurbin I'll keep you posted. :)
15:42 jeffspies discourse looks nice, but it is completely flat i think other than the embedded quotations
15:45 skay shauna mozilla science just set up a discourse board
15:46 skay I've started idling in #sciencelab
15:46 skay http://forum.mozillascience.org/
15:47 skay jeffspies: hey!
15:47 pdurbin skay: awesome. didn't know about this. thanks!
15:47 shauna me either, thanks skay
15:47 skay I decided to leave Columbia and continue work on FLOSS open science related stuff on my own
15:48 pdurbin skay: whoa! what does that mean for Integration with Dataverse Network (DVN) · Issue #150 · researchcompendia/researchcompendia - https://github.com/researchcompendia/researchcompendia/issues/150 ?
15:49 pdurbin (and I'm glad you'll still be involved in open science! and good luck!) ... :)
15:49 skay My thoughts for the upcoming summer: contribute to sumatra -- I already wanted to use sumatra-as-service in researchcompendia, so I want to contribute to making it easy for people to use sumatra as a service
15:49 skay I was thinking of experimenting with docker/sumatra
15:49 skay pdurbin: I'm not certain at this point
15:50 pdurbin skay: ok, if you or someone could just comment on that ticket at some point it would be great
15:50 skay jeffspies: and if your group is going to be doing any experiementation with docker over the summer I'd like to follow along with discussions
15:50 skay pdurbin: I will
15:50 pdurbin skay: great, thanks
15:54 skay I didn't know about that reddit (I don't reddit much, way too distracting)
15:54 pdurbin skay: any thoughts on https://github.com/IQSS/dvn-client-python ?
15:54 skay pdurbin: I would like to contribute to that. Depending on what I do for the summer I want to be a part of it
15:55 skay I'm thinking of taking the summer off to do a whirlwind vacation of FLOSS
15:55 pdurbin skay: ok. cool. would love to continue having you involved in that Python Dataverse client
15:55 skay depends on those plans
15:55 pdurbin sure
15:56 skay I've wanted to take a FLOSS vacation for a while now!
15:56 jeffspies skay: going to chat you
15:56 skay okiedokie
16:22 pdurbin well that was exciting :)

19:24 bencomp pdurbin: can I ask a silly question?
19:26 pdurbin bencomp: of course you can :)
19:26 bencomp good :)
19:27 bencomp how are handles, err, handled?
19:27 bencomp does DVN talk the protocol itself, or do we need the default handle software?
19:31 pdurbin bencomp: I'm not an expert on this but I'm looking at http://thedata.harvard.edu/guides/dataverse-installer-main.html#handle-system
19:31 bencomp pdurbin: well, that looks like it's very easy
19:32 pdurbin bencomp: seems like you'll need to download something from http://handle.net/download.html
19:32 bencomp that was my exact question
19:32 pdurbin not so silly :)
19:36 bencomp wish I had figured this out, say, two weeks ago
19:38 pdurbin bencomp: we recently switched from handle to doi in production
19:38 pdurbin bencomp: is handle more popular in your part of the world?
19:38 bencomp so what happened to the existing handles?
19:38 pdurbin they still work
19:38 pdurbin but I'm pretty sure that new studies don't get handles
19:39 pdurbin they get DOIs instead
19:39 bencomp did the old studies get a DOI too?
19:39 pdurbin that's my understanding anyway
19:39 pdurbin yes, I believe old studies were assigned DOIs. not sure
19:40 axfelix joined #dvn
19:40 bencomp we may switch to DOI later, but in this migration from UU -> DANS and 3.3 to 3.6 sticking with handles for now seemed safer
19:41 bencomp and we needed the existing ones to keep resolving
19:41 pdurbin oh sure. makes complete sense
19:41 pdurbin one thing at a time
