Action items from last time:
LTER's older data has been replicated to KNB successfully - LTER should be able to change to the new PASTA-GMN node.
Draft replication policy change - need to have a sit-down with all affected parties and discuss - date/time TBD
Agenda:
0. Welcome new attendees - introductions
1. Network-wide update and issues affecting MN's as a whole
Coordinating Nodes issues - some issues with consistency between CNs; at MN Wranglers meeting last week, we expected to have issues resolved this week.
Update?? - issue was that there were inconsistencies among CNs, have been working with one CN the past few weeks; resolution pushed out to next week
Q: what happened?
A: (Bruce) It was a partitioning of the network in a fashion that we did not anticipate.
2. Open issues: MNs please add anything you would like to address here.
To ask Mike Frenock (PISCO): are other people able to add data to PISCO now to help with the volume of data? Mike checked 12/11/13 and it looks like it's good to go. (bug #4113 completed)
Bug 6183 - MN cant update system metada on the CNs. Has been worked on by Jing on dev system but still a blocker to Mike. Trying to switch from metacat APIs to system SPIs. Chris indicated that is was a problem with CNs and should be able to update, but Mike can't.
https://projects.ecoinformatics.org/ecoinfo/issues/6183 Fixed in Metacat but haven't been able to move to production this week - looking at next week. (This meant week of 18 November - update??)
3. Feature requests/opportunities for collaboration:
(From 11/14/13 MNF meeting - Kevin Webb): Issue with "only results with data" checkbox in ONEMercury search - currently defaults to checked; see redmine ticket https://redmine.dataone.org/issues/4144; no progress to data as CCIT has been dealing with CN issues.
IDCC MN workshop: Thursday Feb 27th, San Francisco, CA. In conjunction with the International Digital Curation Conference (Tuesday and Wednesday of that week). People at prospective MN's interested in getting involved with DataONE are encouraged to attend:
For details of the DataONE workshop and the other workshops, see http://www.dcc.ac.uk/events/idcc14/workshops%20
For more information about the IDCC conference and registration, see: http://store.bath.ac.uk/browse/product.asp?compid=1&modid=2&catid=28
Mark: holding off on any suggestions until after PASTA/GMN is up and running
Luke: NKN would be interested in the MN workshop at IDCC; what does attendance look like?
Bruce: current cap at 12 but we could make 13 work; want the group to be small enough to be responsive to attendees
4. MN showcase: Member Nodes who are present, please discuss your status:
LTER (Mark): hold off on GMN until after the first of the year
NKN (Luke): have some questions about Apache configuration, will take it to IRC
If you have any other comments/suggestions about anything discussed here, please feel free to post to developers@dataone.org or mnforum@dataone.org.
OTHER INTERESTING THINGS:
DataONE survey to build understanding of data needs. "You are invited to participate in an NSF-sponsored research study, in which the DataONE (Data Observation Network for Earth, www.dataone.org) organization is investigating how scientists work. Your responses will help us better understand how scientists manage their data, which will then allow DataONE to better serve their data management needs. The questionnaire should take about 20 minutes to complete" https://utk.co1.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_aWxuyT94cZBsBb7
contact points:
NEW EMAIL contact: mninfo.dataone@gmail.com - This email monitored by DataONE staff. I think we might migrate to this being the primary point of contact for MN questions so we can keep a better handle on issues/resolutions.
This isn't being used currently - most of the time we (MNs) just email the person we know or who we're working with.
Laura - lmoyers1@utk.edu 865.974-7931 and/or
