MPDL SvM Meeting 2009-11-18

MPDL

PubMan

 * Status:
 * there was a clean up release on QA at the beginning of November -> release is not testeed yet -> will be tested with the R6 (metadata release) at the end of the year -> we have to plan that we need more or less big test resources due to the huge changes within the PubMan "structure" (we have to test very carefully)
 * TakeOver (just ideas - no "carved-in-stone" decisions ;) - out of talks with Malte)
 * with the beginning of December an email should be send to PubMan Community to inform that we try to do our best to keep PubMan Support and Migration on running and that the new position is advertised and will hopefully be filled soon
 * who "takes care" for Sylvia and Angelika after Nicole's leave? -> depends on respective tasks -> Sylvia: eDoc Support, PubMan Testing, CoLab, further tasks from Inga and Andi ... more? -> Angelika: eDoc Support, eDoc Yearbook, PubMan Support? ... more?
 * PubMan Migration: Despoina & Juliane (+ new Support Position)
 * PubMan Support and Testing: Juliane & Despoina, (Rike?)(+ new Support Position)
 * eDoc Support & Yearbook: Angelika, Katrin, (Juliane)
 * PubMan Spec: Juliane, Rike (Despoina?)
 * PubMan Help and Labels (Eclipse): Juliane
 * PubMan PR (Flyer, Blog, Poster ... etc.): Juliane, Despoina (+ new Support Position)
 * PubMan Administration (OUs, Contexts, Users, CoNE etc.): Juliane, Despoina (+ new Support Position)
 * PubMan Workshops & Trainings: Juliane, (Despoina?) (+ new Support Position)
 * PubMan Presentation & Talks: Juliane (+ new Support Position)
 * -> I currently don't know exactly how much time Despoina could really spend on PubMan; seems to be much work for Carpet at the moment; maybe she is able to predict a percent number at the beginning of next year?


 * to check with Ulla:
 * PubMan Workshop TIB-FIZ-MPDL in Karlsruhe -> Malte suggested that we both (Ulla and Juliane) should hold the workshop (see also my mails with Herrn Weber) -> the workshop should take place at the second half of January (due to SInfo not before 18th of January) -> we should offer some proper dates within KW 3 or 4
 * PubMan Schnupperkurs MPI Radioastronomie in Bonn (see also my mails with Frau Kaulins) -> I would suggest to hold the workshop at the beginning of February (KW 5 or 6) -> would you come with me? Or should I take someone else with me (Despoina?) or travel alone?
 * Other:
 * revision of PubMan Flyer needed (as all "old" flyer will likely be sent to Berlin 7)

JusCMS

 * Publication Workflow Munich
 * definition of requirements is completed
 * they want to use both simple and standard workflow -> no new requirements to implement in PubMan
 * concluding spec as soon as I find time for it ;) -> informed Kortüm that my time resources are not the best currently due to takeover activities with Nicole and further tasks I have to take over after Nicole's leave
 * Citation Styles
 * suggestion to combine CoNE Journals with respective citations style is currently checked by scientists and responsible ones in Hamburg -> no decision until now (20.11.2009)
 * if Hamburg decides to choose that solution Munich will also be fine with it
 * CoNE Persons
 * Hamburg has sent a person list to Gergana/Michael
 * person list for Munich Institute has still to be sent
 * CoNE Journals
 * Hamburg has sent a list of all needed journals to Gergana/Michael
 * journal list for Munich Institute has still to be sent
 * to check with Michael/Willi -> update of CoNE Journals?

FACES

 * cc license should be visible next to each picture (similar as on Flickr, see http://www.flickr.com/photos/qthomasbower/3511960429/)

VIRR

 * Create OU 'Max Planck Institute for European legal history' on live-coreservice? So we can affiliate the ViRR user and the ViRR context to this organization?
 * R2.6 was released! :)
 * Next steps:
 * Decided with Malte that we will successively ingest books on coreservice and constantly check performance (currently performance is superduper).
 * Still open: Update and ingest on demo server
 * Wrote email to institute to check requirements and deadline for journal project enhancement
 * Reminded dev team to check GUI v2 prototype
 * Update Homepage content (new release necessary!), would wait for feedback on current release, perhaps there is more.
 * First draft of ViRR StoA finished

CoLab/TWR

 * handed over some CoLab tasks to Sylvia: CoLab statistics + CoLab categorization (uncategorized pages, revision of categorization)

CARPET

 * Berlin Treffen am 11.11.
 * Mr. Schirmbacher would meet with the Berlin team to decide on the answer to the DFG letter
 * Last minute update: today, a first draft of the answer has been sent around, with the request to sent our feedback till friday (20.11)
 * A new survey shall take place in the (near) future, in order to collect information on tools and services. Contact groups for the survey will include developers, repository-managers (will use the DINI lists to contact them), authors (as end users) and other platforms (e.g. e-Journal providers)
 * New tools will be contacted in order to enrich the catalogue
 * WP 4 (Standars and interoperability) work needs to be intensified, our categories need to be expanded.
 * New goal: publications on CARPET
 * first candidate: call for papers for the OA issue of the New Review of Academic Librarianship - deadline for abstracts: 18.12
 * New idea: organization of a workshop, possible participants: e-publishing dev., user and provider groups. Details need to be worked out
 * Forum - wiki - blog: Blog was ruled out, forum seems to be more preferable than wiki. (details to be worked out)
 * Next VK on 25.11. (to discuss questionnaire for new survey,
 * Next meeting will be held on 11.1.2010 (was planned for munich, but the partners wish to have it in berlin or goettingen, is this ok?).
 * Paris Berlin 7 Conference status update
 * flyers for participant folders has been collected (275, expected participant number: ~250)
 * new flyers are being ordered
 * the organization committee has been contacted by us -as an answer to the call for posters- but there has been no answer. (I ll contact them again, in case they simply forgot to answer)
 * Next events we will probably attend
 * Academic Publishing in Europe Conference in Berlin (January 19-21)
 * Subject Repositories, London, (January 28-29) --> I would not be attending, Dennis Zielke and Stefan Daniel will most probably be attending
 * 4. Leipziger Kongress für Information und Bibliothek (March 15-18)

Other

 * Impressions from 3D Workshop --Friederike 09:58, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Various interesting projects within the MPG (info in CoLab will follow)
 * The most challenging problem will be the presentation of the 3D in the web. This problem was not yet solved by any project (hugh amount of data, no satisfying viewing environment)
 * Perhaps digilib will be enhanced for 3D presentation.
 * LTA of 3D scan data not yet addressed.
 * There was criticism that people would see the mediation between such projects (different approaches in various institutes) as part of the MPDL
 * Offered to use CoLab for collecting informations on 3D scanning projects within the MPG (Page created: http://colab.mpdl.mpg.de/mediawiki/3D_Scanning_Projects_in_the_MPG).
 * There is interest in a 'Lighttable' solution. Can I send the link to the TEI demonstrator as an example?
 * Enter CHO paper in eDoc? Who has account? --Friederike 08:12, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
 * CHO presentation: eSciDoc or MPDL template?
 * Presentations for the visit from Japan
