Re: Encouraging More Women to Participate on Apache Projects?

[Mattmann, Chris A (3980)]

Thank Frans. You may want to contact Jane Wyngaard about this.
She is my Postdoc, from South Africa, and has been contributing
to Apache projects (OODT, Kafka, for example). 

She also is interested in doing an ApacheCon in SA and sent some
email to the dev@community list about that before.

Some docs I wrote in Tika and Nutch about using Git at the ASF

[Mattmann, Chris A (3980)]

Hi Community,

I wanted to share these docs I wrote about using Git at the ASF for
the Tika and Nutch projects:

http://wiki.apache.org/tika/UsingGit

http://wiki.apache.org/nutch/UsingGit


If we find them broadly useful perhaps we could add them to the ComDev
web pages. Let me know what you think.

Cheers,
Chris

Re: DRAT is now scanning Apache SVN code base!

[Mattmann, Chris A (3980)]

Hey Tony,

Sorry we should have been more clear about that. We are using
svn-dump (we aren’t doing this in real-time). Karanjeet can
confirm, but from that dump file, I think we were able to
generate this interactive app using DRAT in about a week or
a little more. It’s worth noting that it’s *all* the revisions
in that dump that we are scanning so this captures the evolution
of the repo over time as well.

Thanks for the pointers to Git repos too. We’ll scan those
with DRAT and Wrangler next.

Also hat tip to the Solr community and so forth too - our DRAT
stats are powered by Apache Solr (and D3).

Cheers,
Chris

Is the agenda already filled?

FW: ESIP Update: Summer Meeting Theme Finalized, ESIP Testbed Update, Education Committee | News from AGU, Extreme Precip Hangout & USGS

[Mattmann, Chris A (3980)]

Hello Everyone,

Please note that the Summer Earth Science Information Partners
(ESIP) meeting is looking for plenary speakers to deal with
resiliency as it relates to open source software projects. There
are many people on this list and around the ASF that know a lot
about this. I encourage you to contact Erin Robinson and/or Annie
Bryant Burgess about the below if you are interested in speaking
about this important subject.

Cheers,
Chris

Re: ApacheConNA 2015 slides

[Mattmann, Chris A (3980)]

Thanks Andrea. I don’t see them there yet, so maybe they are
still delayed. Do you know how I can check if they are delayed,
or if I simply uploaded them wrong? Thanks!

ApacheConNA 2015 slides

[Mattmann, Chris A (3980)]

Hey Everyone,

Great seeing you all at ApacheCon. Quick question - I got my
slides uploaded after my talk(s) (late of course) to the website -
who should I poke at LF to make sure they are on the website? I
am not seeing them and I’m sure it’s something I’m doing wrong?

Cheers,
Chris

Re: work with you

[Mattmann, Chris A (3980)]

One thing you may consider as well is helping out the effort
in Tika to support machine translation. We are working on a
Joshua and Moses based translator and we have plug-ins to the
Google API and to the Bing API and to Lingo24.

I’m sure the Tika community would be happy to help with this -
could be a nice integration with OpenOffice too.

Cheers,
Chris

this

 low or that my initial email has not reached the right people.

Re: Content tracks at ApacheCon Austin

[Mattmann, Chris A (3980)]

+1 yes that sounds awesome. We could also get the people
from CHLA who use OODT to participate too!

[Mattmann, Chris A (3980)]

Hey Rich,

I anticipate having some good NASA/JPL involvement this time
over, so maybe we can do another Apache in Science / Space
track! Also of course will be looking to do something with
the Tika / Content track!

Cheers,
Chris

P.S. Happy Thanksgiving (this week in the US)

Call for Participation: NSF DataViz Hackathon for Polar CyberInfrastructure: NYC, November 3-4, 2014

[Mattmann, Chris A (3980)]

(apologies for the cross post, but of interest to Apache community
members)

The U.S. National Science Foundation is sponsoring a workshop related
to data visualization in the Polar Sciences. The workshop will focus
on bridging the cyberinfrastructure/data visualization and polar
communities and it is scheduled to be held in New York City at the
Parsons New School for Design November 3-4, 2014.

Improving the use and the value of existing datasets over the Polar
Regions is crucial to promote science and support new discoveries.
Ultimately, collaborations between data visualization experts and
Polar scientists will foster a greater understanding of the
spatiotemporal dynamics at play in Polar Regions and their implications
to society.

The participants will be motivated by several public Polar datasets
that will made available before the starting date of the workshop.
One of the expected outcomes of the workshop is to produce high
impact novel prototypes and data visualizations that will be made
available under open source licenses. Releasing the prototypes will
allow the NSF to make longer-term investments in technologies and
visualizations that can be adopted by the community. The workshop
will also increase cross agency collaboration between NSF, NASA,
NOAA and other Polar-related agencies. The organizing committee is
composed by both cyberinfrastructure and Polar experts, including
participation from academia, industry, federally funded research
and development centers, and from the broader open source community.

The workshop will: 

(1) recommend several sets of open source software
for data and metadata processing; scientific workflow management;
data curation; and data dissemination;

(2) identify some relevant
Polar data visualization techniques and assess the needs and
challenges of visualizing Polar datasets;

(3) package, deliver, and
make available the outcomes of the workshop via a public website;
and;

(4) provide input to the NSF Polar CyberInfrastructure program
officer through a final report.

Travel support is available for around twenty-five workshop
participants that will be selected meritocratically based on
interest and based on recommendations from the community.

An organizing committee for the meeting is being formed,
with current membership listed below:

* Dr. Chris Mattmann, University of Southern California &
Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology

* Dr. Annie Bryant Burgess, University of Southern California

* Dr. Suzanne Carbotte, Columbia University

* Dr. Bruce Caron, New Media Research Institute

* Dr. Patrick Driscoll, Aalborg University

* Mr. Christopher Goranson, Parsons Institute for Information Mapping

* Mr. Aaron Hill, Parsons New School for Public Engagement

* Dr. Daniel Katz, National Science Foundation

* Dr. Martin Lehmanm, Aalborg University

* Dr. Alan Maceachren, Penn State University

* Dr. Jonathan Pundsack, University of Minnesota Polar Geospatial Center

* Dr. Marco Tedesco, National Science Foundation

* Mr. Joel Towers, Parsons New School

* Dr. Saskia Van Manen, Open University

* Dr. Alexander Lex, Harvard

Datasets for the workshop will be made publicly available
via the Cloud to workshop participants around two-weeks prior
to the start of the workshop. The workshop format
will consist of a 2-day series of invited speakers in
Polar Sciences and CyberInfrastructure and Data Visualization
to motivate the start of the art and challenges to the
community. Four interactive "hackathons" will provide the
opportunity for workshop participants to break off into
teams and develop novel data visualizations on the provided
Cloud datasets. Hackathon results will be shared and
disseminated during the workshop read out and will be
made available to the community under permissive open
source licenses (e.g., the Apache License, version 2).

Please reserve the dates in your calendars and we
welcome your inquiries about the workshop. Please
send email to the workshop committee at the following
address and we will respond promptly to your inquiries.

nsfdata...@gmail.com

Thank you!

Cheers,
Chris Mattmann
(on behalf of the organizing committee)
