Re: [Blue-obelisk] Planet down for the count?

2006-11-14 Thread Christoph Steinbeck
I've moved BO to a new domain hoster, but that should not make a difference.
The URL http://blueobelisk.org gave no problems for me.

http://blueobelisk.org/planetbo might indeed be a problem now, but I wonder how
it might have worked before, because the redirection rule stayed the same.

Cheers,

Chris

Re: [Blue-obelisk] Looking for structure enumeration code

Rich,

this is just wonderful :-)
Thanks so much.

If we only had more of these articles.
I certainly begin to realize the value of scripting languages for using the CDK,
especially in teaching.

Peter,

thanks a lot for contributing to the Blue-Obelisk List :-)

I can only second what Rich already replied. Open Access *is* the model of the
future since it gives us back the rights for our work.

The problem with disappearing content is also one of the regular publishers -
where are their archives going when they die. It's just a question of likelihood
of dying :-)

Also, I think, it is a responsibility of societies (as in: all the people in
Germany) to make sure their knowledge doesn't die. Certainly if they consider
themselves to be a "Wissensgesellschaft" ("knowledge societies").

One way towards this is putting things in institutional repositories - the
University of Cologne has a much higher likelihood of being around in 100 years
than any of the regular publisher that I know.

A second way is national libraries and their archival initiatives. The German
National Library is now required by law to archive whatever appeares on the net
in Germany (Within certain boundaries, but scientific articles certainly are
part of this mission).

On remark at the end: the fact that the IJC site is down and that the archive
has not been made accessible somewhere else is *very* depressing.

Cheers,

Christoph

Re: [Blue-obelisk] Re: 3D structure generator

2007-01-16 Thread Christoph Steinbeck
I would like to add that the CDK *did* develop a 3D generator in the
mean time.
It works similar to the the Bustr3d approach and can be tested on
http://www.chemistry-development-kit.org
Note that there is currently a bug with the ring perception.

Cambridge and the CDK team had plans of merging the two approaches, but
so far we did not do that.

Cheers,

Chris

Hi everybody,

we are in the process of setting up a Blue Obelisk meeting in Chicago -
same style as last time (beer, food, fun).
Rajarshi, Egon, Stefan and myself will be there - who else will join us?

Rajarshi suggested a Chinese Sezchuan Restaurant in Chicago's Chinatown.

[Blue-obelisk] Blue Obelisk Meeting in Chicago

2007-02-08 Thread Christoph Steinbeck
Dear All,

our planning for the Blue Obelisk meeting in Chicago has yielded first
results.
The following people have confirmed their participation:

- Jean-Claude Bradley
- Warren Delano
- Rajarshi Guha
- Peter Murray-Rust
- Stefan Kuhn
- Henry Rzepa
- Christoph Steinbeck
- Egon Willighagen

It looks like Tuesday, 7 pm, would be a good time for the meeting. I
suggest that we now collect suggestions for a nice place to meet.
Rajarshi has suggested a Chinese restaurant already.

And additional ideas for nice places in Chicago (beer, food, fun, but
not too loud, so we can talk)?

Cheers,

Chris

As the owner of the domain "blueobelisk.org" and current host of the BO
sites, I agree with all that has been said.
The most important thing: We need a stable location.
My choice would be SourceForge and I've taken the freedom to register
the project *blueobelisk* at SourceForge.
SF allows us to assign as many admins, developers, etc. as we like.
Everyone has access and the stability is excellent - certainly better
than any of our local sites.

Provided that the project gets approved, we can start moving things
over, if everyone agrees.

Let me know who wants to take responsibilities.
I have added PeterMR and EgonW to the project as project admins, but

A minor question: Is [EMAIL PROTECTED] ok for our new

only choose the "something" part :-)

Hope that'll work, but since both systems are mailman based, it might.

Hi Tobias, Noel, and everybody

when we move this to Sourceforge, which will require some investigation,
we can take care of these things.
Currently, the Wiki lives on my site at Cologne.

I remember that there were some limitations for running mediawiki on SF.
Not sure if they still exists.
If someone has time to install mediawiki in our bo webspace on SF, I'll
really appreciate it. Then, the existing MySQL tables can easily be move
from Cologne to into the SF MySQL.

cheers,

Chris

Re: [Blue-obelisk] Wiki has moved to sourceforge

Thanks, Noel, for doing the work :-)

BOers: It should be mentioned that if you use the same username, the
system will connect this username with your old edits!
It worked nicely for me. So, if you want to keep connected with your
past, there is a good reason for choosing the same username :-)

I have switched the BO wiki at CUBIC to read-only but will keep it
online as long as possible for reference.

I've redirected http://www.blueobelisk.org to
http://blueobelisk.sourceforge.net, a switch which may take a while to
be recognized by the name servers.

Cheers,

Chris

[Blue-obelisk] SourceForge and WikiSpaces

2007-06-10 Thread Christoph Steinbeck
sorry for crossposting.

SourceForge now provides a Wiki for every project.
http://web.sourceforge.com/news_archive/2007/1820.php

The cdk wiki would, for example, be at cdk.wiki.sourceforge.net.
It's not Mediawiki, but maybe it is usable.

If we can find tools for migrating things from Wiki type to another,
maybe it is easier to use the build-in one for the new CDK wiki.

Cheers,

Chris

I just want to mention here - although this is a bit off-topic - that
NMRShiftDB *is* curated. A reviewer looks at every dataset entered by a
user.
You may argue it is not *well* curated (if you want to be nasty), but
that accusation hold for any kind of curation. :-)

Cheers,

Chris

I was aware of that but I just could not resist to make my (pointless)

Same here - although I will finally have to summarize things and comment.

That's why I can't get that smile out of my face when I read the
respective blog fight. I take the reports about errors very seriously,
but not the ones about our model. That was exactly the moderately
original point in our grant proposal for NMRShiftDB - can we transfer
the ideas of open source development to communally developed databases.
It did not work until Wolfgang jumped in :-)
I will blog about this.

Very well said. I have nothing to add here :-)

I don't seem to have this information, but I contacted Wendy Warr to see
if we can recover it.

Very soon, the manuscript will be freely accessible anyway.
