Having options which are nimble are as important as options which >are so called "enterprise grade". I am tempted to fork this thread into defending the role of government funded laboratories in implementing technological and engineering innovation, but that would dilute the direct answer to the statement above - which is far more important. It is precisely to avoid vendor or platform lock-in that we are sifting through the proposed components to focus on open source - and pasting it on this list to gauge the response of the community in using them. Most members on this list would have the time, skills and resources to be able to click-start the portal components, fewer provide tuning and security, but probably none can provide the legal indemnity for developing such a portal. Hence the need to rely on "enterprise" builds and a framework that has indemnity built in. The nimbleness would be on how easily one can get support and extensibility to it, which - to me - is dependent on how easy it is for the community to participate. >The other problems are talent and support. Recruiting and retaining good Java >programmers/admins are a nightmare for commercial organizations in the >first place. I cannot imagine what it will be for organizations like >CSIR. This is a generic problem, especially with IT skills, and government salary scales. However, this is the first Indian Govt, funded project that I know of, that has a significant departure from the cathedral in-house model of implementation to the bazaar-style. It has in-built mechanisms of funding for consultancies, awards and rewards, credits for contribution and a Google SoC style fellowship. Would be grateful for any more ideas on how to widen the participation of the (especially Indian) FOSS community. Would anyone be interested in developing a prototype? BTW: Disclaimer - I am a volunteer contributor to the project and this is just my opinion.

The present leaning is to consider data and applications as services and use an SOA. Linking these services together to form a workflow (we use the word "pipeline" more in computational biology) is the main requirement for a workflow component to the portal.

[ilugd] OSDD Portal - request for comments from community
At Freed.in/2007, Samir Brahmachari presented his ideas on Open Source Drug Discovery - which proposes to use the principles of open source to scientific pursuit: specifically to the drug discovery process applied to neglected tropical diseases like tuberculosis. Prof. Brahmachari is now the Director-General of the CSIR, and the project has started -with its first deadline - to develop a portal by the 15th of August. The choice of components and architecture - obviously open source where available - would be largely chosen on (a) ease of extensibility and maintenance by the developer and end-user community. Placed below is a listing of the results from the first brain-storming. Please comment on your experience with any component, and suggest alternatives where possible: Requirements: Collaboration, Content-management, an Open Lab note-book, project management and workflow 1. OS Solaris Enterprise Linux 2. Application server GlassFish JBOSS Apache Tomcat Apache 3. Portal Engine Sun Open Portal LifeRay Note: Most users/developers of computational biology applications web-enable their applications using a LAMP stack. Q: Can similar portal functionalities be provided by Joomla/Drupal/etc ? 4. Ability to seperate computationally expensive applications on dedicated hardware: N1 Grid Engine 5. Accounting and Auditing can be done using N1 Grid engine OpenLDAP 6. Resource Service Broker GridBus Broker 3.0 7. Database MySQL PostgreSQL 8. Data Warehousing (Do we need this?) The only suggestions in the first cut were proprietary solutions. Data Warehouse – GreenPlum Data Integration/Extraction Tool – Informatica Design/BI - Microstrategy 9. Secured Remote Access Secure Global Desktop – For remote access. VPN or tunnels with rdesktop or VNC. 10. Workflow jBPM is built into JBOSS.

Talking about non-free tools is a non-starter, except perhaps to showcase FOSS alternatives - largely because this is not an event hoping to focus on comprehensively defining free knowledge or the "Knowledge Ecosystem" I would prefer to use the term "focus" with FOSS s/w rather than Education with reference to Freed.in/2008. There is a parallel group discussing the "Knowledge Commons", which will meet sometime in January more interested in policy. Some of us overlap in both forums.

The document on the wiki is itself raw and diffused, as expected from the initial round of brainstorming, during which we listed possible IT systems and tools to serve as a seed for the community to build on and refine. Raj has already given a response with the answer to why-open-content, and why-education in our country. A few specifics to show that the government is seized by the issue: (1) The Knowledge Commission has listed a set of recommendations under (a) Access to knowledge, (b) creation of knowledge, (c) knowledge concepts, (d) the delivery of services, and (e) the application of knowledge. [1] (2) The Indian Government will allot 19.7% of the plan resource (approximately 2,20,000 crores) for education in the next plan.[2] The first four of the recommendations made by the Knowledge Commission are almost entirely dependent on ICT, and have FOSS based components available. Can we define them? Can we participate more fully in their successful implementation? The FOSS community has voices which largely belong to system administrators and software developers. I am sure that the application of these areas would be the backbone of the systems and tools in building the Knowledge Ecosystem of our country. The difference with the organisation of Freed.in this year is not that a focus on Education has been imposed, but tracks have been left nebulous for the community to define. In parallel, a conclave on building the Knowledge Ecosystem is also proposed.

I now see invenio uses python - so i think i will try I tried both dspace and greenstone. in my youth. Now that I'm older and wiserheres what I had learnt before discarding both. Dspace is more suited for *sharing* original collections with the rest of the world. I had pdf/doc/etc/ manuscripts - largely reference material that I required to access quickly but of which I was not really the copyright owner, and there was a long lag while uploading, as each document gets a unique ID. This, however, may have been an artefact of not choosing the correct option. Greenstone was more suitable. It would take documents as pdf or doc or txt or whatever, and do a commendable ocr based index, making them searchable. Retrieval was also easy. The problem with a departmental server, was that uploading manuscripts required administrator privileges, and the sub-division into collections prevented single search operations through the database. I will set it up again.

I did a mini-project in collecting digital content development tools for e-learning a few years ago - and eventually went the same way that the Sarai team is planning - Final Cut Pro on the Mac and Adobe Premiere/Photoshop/Pagemaker for both the Mac and Windows platforms.

Re: [ilugd] OSS alternative to SPSS
We use both Octave and Scilab at JNU. Octave is more robust but has a command-line interface and a sharper learning curve. It interfaces with gnuplot to produce graphics - itself not easy to use beyond simple ine graphs...:) Scilab is faster to learn, easier to use, has a GUI interface, very neat demo programs, and can scale across compute-nodes using PVM. Both programs use numerical processing algorithms, though some engineers I know, feel that Scilab sometimes give inconsistent results. We use Scilab for interactive stuff, and Octave for batch-processing, or as embeded within our protocols. (Actually - we use Perl wrappers for both R and Octave when we have to automate processing protocols for large data sets.)

Re: [ilugd] hummingbird
Exceed is a X-emulator from Hummingbird. Very pricy. We replaced Exceed with Cygwin - which has an X server, if you go beyond the default install, and should serve the purpose.
