  • Katy Börner's Information Visualization MOOC starts January 22 and is now open for registration
  • Implementation Fest plans beginning to take shape
    • Policy track – how does VIVO with with other tools supporting faculty reporting, institutional reporting, campus web strategies, data and publication repositories, and other significant elements of the research university ecosystem?
    • Technical track – community building: working together to fill gaps in the VIVO community infrastructure, address documentation and configuration issues with Solr and Fuseki, and coordinate data ingest and data maintenance strategies
    • In person or via web conference?  Sentiment on yesterday's ontology call stressed the value of meeting in person, and UC Boulder is graciously willing to host again this year. Should we also make an effort to set up high quality video conferencing for some sessions, or would Webex be adequate? 
    • How many people think they might be able to attend a 2-day event in mid to late April?
  • Other announcements?

Notable development list traffic

  • As documented in this mailing list thread, UF's problem with re-indexing it's data in 1.5.1 hasn't been resolved.  Possible root cause is bad data in MySQL evidenced by repeated errors in logs, but there the logs just point to what should be a way to trap for certain characters and not have either Jena or VIVO allowed escape characters (linefeeds) that should not cause Java, Jena or Solr to throw exceptions. Should this be the topic of dedicated development meeting?  Who wants to be involved and what time slot would work – does the 2 pm ET Thursday slot work for people?
    • Chin Hua also needs to have this bug resolved to be able to debug the visualization issues Florida and Penn have been experiencing
  • Problems with non-Roman characters – make sure your server.xml contains URIEncoding="UTF-8" in the active <Connector> element. more
  • Transport error in connecting to Solr
  • Updating Solr to be able to use new modules/add-ons
  • Connecting VIVO to a REST-style web service to migrate existing profiles to VIVO
  • Generating a list of keywords from VIVO
  • Last data update date
  • Other issues
