Philip Durbin 🚀 (Dec 12 2023 at 17:00): Philip Durbin 🚀 (Dec 12 2023 at 17:00):Over at https://github.com/gdcc/dataversecommunity.global/pull/1 we're trying to figure out which working groups are active.
For active groups, we're linking to a website or whatever. Should we mark pyDataverse as active? If so, what should we link to? https://github.com/gdcc/pyDataverse ? https://dataverse.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/377090-python ? Something else, like a dedicated page or a Google doc?
Jan Range (Dec 13 2023 at 09:24):For now, I would suggest using https://github.com/gdcc/pyDataverse since progress can be tracked in the repo through PRs and Issues. However, I am willing to set up a website :raised_hands:
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Dec 13 2023 at 12:25):Sounds fine but maybe the README should be updated.
I'm anticipating questions like "where is the WebEx link?" or "what time is the next meeting."
Jan Range (Dec 13 2023 at 12:52):Sounds good :+1:
Jan Range (Dec 13 2023 at 12:56):Are you fine with starting 10th of January 15.00 UTC (10 AM Boston, 4 PM Germany)?
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Dec 13 2023 at 13:37):Hmm, my daughter's class is taking a trip to Boston's Chinatown and I'm thinking about chaperoning on the 10th. (I haven't signed up yet.)
Jan Range (Dec 13 2023 at 13:52):Alright, we can also move to 17th
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Dec 13 2023 at 13:53):The 17th is free for me.
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Dec 13 2023 at 13:53):We can also put the meeting on the community calendar. I just left a comment about this.
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Dec 13 2023 at 13:54):https://github.com/gdcc/dataversecommunity.global/pull/1#issuecomment-1853957564
Jan Range (Dec 13 2023 at 13:56):Thanks, just saw your comment. I will set up the meeting series now and forward to you the meeting link for the calendar.
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Dec 13 2023 at 13:58):Actually, if you don't mind adding the meeting yourself, I can give you access. You'd just need to tell me which Google account to add.
Jan Range (Dec 13 2023 at 13:58):Would you prefer bi-weekly or weekly?
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Dec 13 2023 at 13:59):I'm leaning toward bi-weekly.
Jan Range (Dec 13 2023 at 13:59):Of course, my Google Account Mail is
jan.range@simtech.uni-stuttgart.de
Jan Range (Dec 13 2023 at 13:59):I agree, let's go for bi-weekly
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Dec 13 2023 at 14:01):added!
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Dec 13 2023 at 14:14):Sounds good.
Jan Range (Dec 13 2023 at 14:39):I have just added the event :raised_hands:
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Dec 13 2023 at 14:41):Hmm, I don't see it. The 17th?
Jan Range (Dec 13 2023 at 14:49):My bad, I was logged into the wrong account. It should be visible now :-)
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Dec 13 2023 at 14:53):10am for me. Looks perfect!
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Dec 13 2023 at 14:53):Should we add a link? Maybe just to the pyDataverse repo for now?
Jan Range (Dec 13 2023 at 15:01):What do you think?
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Dec 13 2023 at 15:06):Looks great!
Jan Range (Dec 13 2023 at 15:07):Added :raised_hands:
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Dec 13 2023 at 15:09):Great. I think the last thing is to link to it from the meeting invite.
Jan Range (Dec 13 2023 at 15:11):In the calendar events?
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Dec 13 2023 at 15:12):Yeah. So that if someone ends up on the calendar event they have a link to click to learn more.
Jan Range (Dec 13 2023 at 15:13):Alright, just added a link and a heads-up on the upcoming website to all events.
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Dec 13 2023 at 15:16):Perfect. Thanks!
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Jan 05 2024 at 15:50):When and how should we advertise the first meeting?
Jan Range (Jan 05 2024 at 16:20):I have planned to announce the first meeting on Monday via Google Groups, Zulip and Slack
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Jan 05 2024 at 16:22):Perfect. I was thinking early next week as well.
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Jan 10 2024 at 14:28):@Jan Range the meeting announcement looks great! https://groups.google.com/g/dataverse-community/c/H9iXwhSjSjU/m/K99yQBKkBAAJ
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Jan 10 2024 at 14:28):Wednesday, January 17th, 3 PM UTC (10 AM ET / 4 PM CET)
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Jan 10 2024 at 14:28):Come one, come all!
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Jan 10 2024 at 14:29):Ah, also at #community > Kickoff Meeting: PyDataverse Working Group . Perfect.
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Nov 16 2024 at 13:50):I just noticed that https://py.gdcc.io shows there was a meeting last week on Nov 13th. But the third Wednesday is the 20th. Do we have a meeting then? :thinking: Did I miss this month's meeting?
Jan Range (Nov 16 2024 at 16:01):My bad, I did count four Wednesdays ahead, and this time, it was not the third. We can still meet next week :-)
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Nov 16 2024 at 16:26):Ah, I see you already fixed the website. Thanks!
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Nov 16 2024 at 16:27):Up to you. Last time you even suggested meeting more often! :grinning:
Jan Range (Nov 16 2024 at 17:18):I am fine with it, there are a couple of points on the agenda already :-)
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Nov 19 2024 at 12:44):Should we advertise the meeting? Maybe on the Google Group?
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Nov 19 2024 at 19:38):https://groups.google.com/g/dataverse-community/c/Jiajill5Y7s/m/7DmKlOE1CQAJ looks great! Thanks, @Jan Range! 
:snake:
Jan Range (Nov 20 2024 at 10:42):Bad news: I got sick overnight and am not feeling well today. I hoped it would improve until now, but it has not :sob:
Can we move the meeting to next week? I am happy to change it on the website and announce it in the Google group.
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Nov 20 2024 at 12:11):Absolutely!
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Nov 20 2024 at 13:09):I went ahead and changed the Google Calendar entry. I hope you feel better.
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Nov 20 2024 at 13:09):I just updated the agenda, the google doc. I think that's everything.
Jan Range (Nov 20 2024 at 15:33):Thanks a lot @Philip Durbin 🐉 :heart_hands:
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Nov 26 2024 at 22:01):Um. I just found out IQSS is closed tomorrow (Wednesday): https://dataverse.zulipchat.com/#narrow/channel/375707-community/topic/holidays.20etc.2E/near/484602500
Jan Range (Nov 27 2024 at 06:53):Thank you for letting me know. I also need to step in for a colleague at a seminar today, which conflicts with our meeting. If it’s okay with you, I’ll reschedule the meeting for next Wednesday.
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Nov 27 2024 at 12:40):Dec 4th works for me! Thanks!
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Dec 04 2024 at 12:34):@Jan Range we're still on, right? Want me to reply to https://groups.google.com/g/dataverse-community/c/Jiajill5Y7s/m/xWmLxutwCQAJ ?
Jan Range (Dec 04 2024 at 13:26):Yes :-) Just posted it
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Dec 04 2024 at 13:27):Nice! Thanks! That one was my fault. An extra day off! :beach_umbrella:
Jan Range (Dec 04 2024 at 13:41):Well deserved :raised_hands:
Jan Range (Dec 18 2024 at 12:18):Since we met approximately two weeks ago, there has not been any news or development. I'd propose we meet next year in January when there's more progress.
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Dec 18 2024 at 12:46):Sounds fine but heads up to @Charity Everett who was thinking about coming.
Jan Range (Dec 18 2024 at 13:10):Alright, just updated the page and will add "CANCELED" to the Google Calendar entry
Charity Everett (Dec 18 2024 at 14:01):Thanks for the heads up!
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Jan 07 2025 at 14:32):@Jan Range while I was working on the community news I noticed that the December agenda/notes was set to "restricted". I hope you don't mind but I changed it to "anyone can comment". I don't think there are any state secrets in there! :sweat_smile:
Oh, also, I added the recording to the top.
Jan Range (Jan 08 2025 at 17:15):Good catch! I didnt notice, thanks for checking :smile:
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Jan 15 2025 at 13:26):So are we meeting in about half an hour?
Jan Range (Jan 15 2025 at 13:26):Yes :raised_hands:
Jan Range (Jan 15 2025 at 13:27):Filled up the agenda :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Jan 15 2025 at 13:27):Great! I might be a couple minutes late :bike: :bike: :bike:
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Feb 03 2025 at 14:42):Same as last time I just opened up last month's agenda to viewing and commenting.
Jan Range (Feb 03 2025 at 16:38):Dang it, that worked so well with just copying previously :grinning: I have adjusted the latest docs
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Feb 03 2025 at 16:38):Cool, thanks. I get a warning when I try to send the community news, that's all. :big_smile:
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Feb 04 2025 at 14:40):I can't make it to the meeting on Feb 19. It's school vacation week. We're bringing the kids skiing. :skier:
Jan Range (Feb 04 2025 at 15:13):I am fine with moving it a week or more :smile:
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Feb 04 2025 at 16:23):At the same time I'm free the week before or after.
Jan Range (Feb 07 2025 at 20:06):The week after would work best for me :smile:
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Feb 07 2025 at 20:06):So the 26th. Sure!
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Feb 28 2025 at 15:18):Wait, did I forget to show up on the 26th? I don't think we ever moved the Google Calendar entry. :grimacing:
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Feb 28 2025 at 15:19):I'm working on the community news. I don't think we met in February. So nothing to report.
Jan Range (Feb 28 2025 at 15:19):I think that's on me, we have talked about moving it a week due to you being out of office, but I have missed updating the Google Calendar
Jan Range (Feb 28 2025 at 15:20):But most of the topics have already been discussed in the comments of issues.
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Feb 28 2025 at 15:20):Ok, well, for the next meetings, I added sekmiller and @Juan Pablo Tosca Villanueva as guests (per Stefano).
Juan Pablo Tosca Villanueva (Feb 28 2025 at 15:23)::partying_face:
Jan Range (Feb 28 2025 at 15:25):Niiiice! Looking forward :raised_hands:
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Mar 18 2025 at 20:38):@Jan Range is there a pyDataverse meeting tomorrow? I see it in the calendar but not https://py.gdcc.io :thinking:
Jan Range (Mar 18 2025 at 21:28):Pushed :smile:
Jan Range (Mar 18 2025 at 21:28):Took the agenda of last meeting for tomorrow
Charity Everett (Mar 18 2025 at 21:43):@Jan Range does that mean there is a meeting tomorrow?
Jan Range (Mar 18 2025 at 21:43):Yes, the meeting will take place tomorrow at this time
https://time.is/compare/1400_19_Mar_2025_in_UTC
Jan Range (Mar 18 2025 at 21:44):I apologize for not providing updates promptly. I'm currently busy finishing my thesis, and it's quite hectic :frown:
Charity Everett (Mar 18 2025 at 21:45):No need to apologize! Focus where you need to- thank you for responding!
Philip Durbin 🚀 (May 12 2025 at 15:45):@Jan Range do you think you'll host a pyDataverse working group meeting the week after the community meeting? That would be June 18th (the third Wednesday). I'm asking because I thought I'd mention upcoming working group meetings in my "community updates" talk at DCM25. (I'm actually traveling on the 18th and the following week so I won't be able to make it.)
Jan Range (May 13 2025 at 07:45):@Philip Durbin ☀️ I will host the meeting on the 18th :slight_smile:
Jan Range (May 13 2025 at 07:46):Btw. I wanted to ask if it's possible to reschedule tomorrow's meeting for next week. Unfortunately, there is a clash I cannot change.
Philip Durbin 🚀 (May 13 2025 at 12:03):Oh, well, the 3rd Wednesday is next week anyway.
Jan Range (May 13 2025 at 13:29):Oh true! 30th of April was a Wednesday - Close call :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:
Philip Durbin 🚀 (May 20 2025 at 13:28):@Jan Range hi! Is there a meeting tomorrow? https://py.gdcc.io hasn't been updated.
Jan Range (May 20 2025 at 15:56):@Philip Durbin yes, meeting tomorrow :raised_hands: Updated the website
Philip Durbin 🚀 (May 20 2025 at 15:57):Looks great! Should we send out an invite? :sweat_smile:
Jan Range (May 20 2025 at 18:34):Sounds good! Will drop a mail tomorrow :+1:
Philip Durbin 🚀 (May 20 2025 at 18:34):cool, cool
Philip Durbin 🚀 (May 29 2025 at 20:45):@Jan Range no rush but I have a question about the in-person meeting at UNC. It'll be hybrid, right? Also, can you please create an agenda/notes doc and update https://py.gdcc.io ?
I'd like to send out an email to the google group suggesting that people can start signing up to attend the in-person/hybrid working group meetings. For each group, I'd like a doc to link to where they can add their name.
Jan Range (May 30 2025 at 07:42):@Philip Durbin yes, I think hybrid makes most sense. I'll update py.gdcc.io and formalize the agenda in the upcoming week. To whom shall I send the document?
Philip Durbin 🚀 (May 30 2025 at 09:32):You can just let me know when the website has been updated. I'll grab the link from there. Thanks!
Jan Range (May 30 2025 at 15:12):Will ping you once done :raised_hands:
Philip Durbin 🚀 (May 30 2025 at 20:17):I opened up the notes from the last meeting: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1iFH9GTFLLbTZHv3a9P36eWQ07uywhMn9IPsL3reANJA/edit?usp=sharing
Yes, I'm working on the community news again, which is when I notice this. :smile:
Jan Range (May 30 2025 at 20:24):Okay, so the default is to make it accessible for everyone? I was under the impression, using the default link turns it accessible for the whole DV group. Sorry I am not working with Google Docs a lot :upside_down:
Philip Durbin 🚀 (May 30 2025 at 20:28):I don't see any state secrets in the parent folder so I flipped it from "restricted" to "anyone can comment". That should fix it for next time. :smile:
Jan Range (May 30 2025 at 20:29):Thanks!
Philip Durbin 🚀 (May 30 2025 at 20:30):What do you use instead of Google docs? :thinking: I have so much stuff in there. :grimacing:
Jan Range (May 30 2025 at 20:32):We use Attlassian Confluence at our institution and I personally use Notion a lot
Philip Durbin 🚀 (May 30 2025 at 20:39):Ah, I recommended Notion to my wife and she's been checking it out. I've heard good things.
Confluence. Meh. :smile:
Jan Range (May 30 2025 at 20:40):Meh is a good description :smile:
Philip Durbin 🚀 (May 30 2025 at 20:40):Atlassian is killing Trello. I'm switching to Google Tasks for some things. 
Jan Range (May 30 2025 at 20:42):What did they do to Trello? :cry:
Philip Durbin 🚀 (May 30 2025 at 20:42):https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enshittification
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Jun 05 2025 at 17:20):I just asked people to add themselves under "attendees (tentative)" for next week's hybrid meeting at UNC: https://groups.google.com/g/dataverse-community/c/ZEEBtC9Ylx8/m/f606rf-rAQAJ
Jan Range (Jun 06 2025 at 18:24):Great, thanks a lot!
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Jun 23 2025 at 18:20):Did last week's meeting happen? If so, was it recorded?
Jan Range (Jun 24 2025 at 07:05):Yes, it happened - Recording is up now at https://py.gdcc.io
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Jun 24 2025 at 11:44):Downloading! Thanks!
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Jun 24 2025 at 15:37):Nice meeting. A lot about using GitHub Copilot for PR reviews. :smile: @Juan Pablo Tosca Villanueva what was the conclusion? You got it working for pyDataverse or not?
Juan Pablo Tosca Villanueva (Jun 24 2025 at 15:44):Yes! We had to make me an admin tho lol. The feedback that provided I think was useful but very little, things that basically can cause a memory leak or things like that but it would not take into consideration the business logic if that makes sense.
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Jun 24 2025 at 15:45):Cool, glad you got it working.
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Jun 24 2025 at 15:45):Also, I agree that the refactoring should be done first, before trying to merge EasyDatavere into pyDataverse, for example. I think we have a topic on this: #python > PyDataverse Re-Vamp (unless it was for a previous re-vamp :thinking: )
Jan Range (Jun 24 2025 at 18:29):I think the original re-vamp topic was about turning pyDataverse functional again, but I think it is also suited for the refactor.
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Jun 24 2025 at 18:30):well, we can kick off a new topic if it helps! :smile:
Jan Range (Jun 24 2025 at 19:32):I think re-vamping the re-vamp is fine :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Jun 24 2025 at 19:32):ha, ok
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Jul 15 2025 at 21:08):@Jan Range meeting tomorrow?
Jan Range (Jul 16 2025 at 08:10):@Philip Durbin 🚀 I am curently in thesis writing "holiday" and I have not yet had the chance to progress any further with the refactoring and docs. Do you have anything to discuss?
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Jul 16 2025 at 11:04):not really, nothing urgent
Jan Range (Jul 16 2025 at 11:09):Alright, shall we meet in a month again? Until then I will have finished my thesis and made progress on the open tasks.
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Jul 16 2025 at 11:12):Sure, sounds fine to me.
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Jul 16 2025 at 11:12):Maybe you could add "CANCELED" to the meeting on Google Calendar.
Jan Range (Jul 16 2025 at 11:17):Yes, will add and move the date on py.gdcc
Jan Range (Jul 16 2025 at 11:20):Updated :-)
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Jul 16 2025 at 12:04):Great! Good luck on the thesis! :heart:
Jan Range (Jul 16 2025 at 17:42):Thanks @Philip Durbin 🚀 :heart:
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Aug 20 2025 at 11:41):@Jan Range I usually ask this earlier, but... do we have a meeting in a little over two hours? I assume so, since there's something on the agenda.
Jan Range (Aug 20 2025 at 11:41):Yes, the meeting is happening :slight_smile:
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Aug 20 2025 at 11:42):Great! See you then!
Jan Range (Aug 20 2025 at 11:42):See you later!
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Aug 20 2025 at 13:33):@Slava Tykhonov I just noticed that SHACL is on the agenda :smile:
Slava Tykhonov (Aug 20 2025 at 14:05):SHACL is pyDataverse?
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Aug 20 2025 at 14:33):Jan it talking about turtle :turtle:
Jan Range (Sep 17 2025 at 05:48):Dear all, the pyDataverse WG meeting had to be moved to next week 2025-09-24 due to clashes on my side.
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Sep 17 2025 at 13:05):No worries. I just moved the Google Calendar event.
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Sep 24 2025 at 13:37):I see lots of GitHub activity, so I assume we're on. :smile:
Jan Range (Sep 24 2025 at 13:38):Hehe yes we are on :slight_smile:
Jan Range (Sep 24 2025 at 13:39):Maybe a short one to discuss all the fixes, but it is good to have all the issues out of the way now
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Sep 24 2025 at 13:39):sure, sounds good
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Oct 14 2025 at 13:51):@Jan Range do we have a meeting tomorrow? If so, should we advertise it on the google group? :crazy:
Jan Range (Oct 14 2025 at 13:57):@Philip Durbin 🚀 yes we are meeting tomorrow :slight_smile:
Jan Range (Oct 14 2025 at 13:57):I can send a notification to the Google Group. The refactoring is done and I am writing tests now. Guess, this would be interesting for all pyDataverse users
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Oct 14 2025 at 13:58):Great! Or I can. Lemme know!
Philip Durbin 🚀 (Oct 14 2025 at 14:11):@Jan Range https://groups.google.com/g/dataverse-community/c/OreEyIfLUAk/m/35sXFbQyBQAJ looks great! Thanks!
