 pdurbin | Don Sizemore: how does https://github.com/GlobalDataverseCommunityConsortium/dataverse-ansible/issues/266 grab ya? 😄 | 17:20:57 |
 Don Sizemore | @pdurbin sounds fine to me. I just subscribed to the repo | 17:40:00 |
| pdurbin | Cool. I guess we could deploy the readme somewhere. 😄 Or wait until there's actual code. -f is taken. Maybe -u for UI? I dunno. You pick. 😄 | 17:41:15 |
| Don Sizemore | @pdurbin I had an earlier question related to the GitHub stuff | 17:43:12 |
| Don Sizemore | ^^ GitHub Actions stuff | 17:43:29 |
| pdurbin | Don Sizemore: how can I help? Sorry, was out to lunch 🥪 | 18:49:21 |
| Don Sizemore | well, you all are paying for GitHub Actions. the Jenkins server isn't getting any younger, and Jon has always said he wanted the next incarnation of Jenkins to move to Amazon | 18:52:34 |
| Don Sizemore | but I'm thinking I'd rather the Jenkins node and its workers move into GCP (which is cheaper, and more straightforward to manage) | 18:52:56 |
| Don Sizemore | but if you all are paying for GitHub, I'll sit tight, don't need to do anything just yet. | 18:53:14 |
| pdurbin | I don't have a preference for AWS or GCP. Does this come down to a billing question? If so, I'm not the best person to talk to. From what I understand the Dataverse Jenkins runs on our AWS bill. | 18:55:38 |
| pdurbin | captainsifff: hi! I spun up a server with NetCDF/HDF5 extraction, if you'd like to try it out: https://dev1.dataverse.org | 18:56:17 |
 captainsifff | let's see, I'll quickly give it a spin. | 18:56:54 |
| captainsifff | the XML content is now visible from the UI, right? | 19:28:38 |
| pdurbin | yep | 19:28:50 |
| pdurbin | I already uploaded your w2dynamics file. | 19:29:17 |
| captainsifff | the metadata seems to be what you have entered while uploading. | 19:29:23 |
| captainsifff | Yes, I see it. Downloading works, and accessing the XML representation seems to be OK. | 19:29:53 |
| pdurbin | right, the only new feature so far is extracting the NcML file, showing a preview of it, and making it downloadable | 19:30:16 |
| captainsifff | Well which means, you have ncdump properly integrated. Great News, no? | 19:31:12 |
| pdurbin | well, it's a java library pulling out the NcML file, but yes, similar to ncdump | 19:31:40 |
| pdurbin | Dataverse is written in Java so it's easy to add Java libraries. | 19:32:06 |
| pdurbin | So what do you think? Useful feature? What should we do next? | 19:34:47 |
| Don Sizemore | @pdurbin Odum runs the server and the worker nodes; EC2 runs do happen on IQSS' bill, yes. | 19:40:16 |
| pdurbin | Ah, right. That rings a bell. | 19:40:39 |
| Don Sizemore | in any case, standup discussion kind of answered the question I had this morning. long-term I think I'd like to target GCP because it's cheaper compute, particularly for higher ed | 19:41:11 |
| captainsifff | Hmm, since NetCDF has a couple of common predefined fields like .environment and .config one could work on exposing them in the web interface. Another stop would be to try to extract a single observable. | 19:41:28 |
| pdurbin | Wow, let me write this down somewhere. I'll go ahead and make a doc for next week's netcdf/hdf5/geospatial meeting. Done: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mQObsdPYgmYBzO9YbNfKy6bRytK7fZrK0aHEg6VkXAg/edit?usp=sharing | 19:44:07 |
| captainsifff | I'm not sure how generic it is to extract the observables. this mapping to the axes has to be reconstructed somehow. | 19:45:59 |
| pdurbin | gotcha | 19:46:24 |
| pdurbin | vera_c: here's an update on the conversation this morning about external controlled vocabularies (funding from crossref especially): https://github.com/IQSS/dataverse/issues/9150#issuecomment-1409369535 . Thanks again for the time! | 21:31:22 |
