Re: [CODE4LIB] TemaTres 1.2, web tool to manage controlled vocabularies, has been released

2011-01-13 Thread diego ferreyra
Hi dear Eric, ... today we have released TemaTres keywords Distiller
in google code. You can download it from:
http://code.google.com/p/tematres-keywords-distiller/

TemaTres Keywords Distiller is a php tool to extract terms from a text
and use it to obtain keywords from a specific controlled vocabulary.
You can do automatic categorization of texts based on controlled
vocabularies managed by TemaTres.

For some documentation about Web Services-based API, there are a
explanation in 
http://www.r020.com.ar/tematres/wiki/doku.php?id=en:tematres:web_services_terminologicos

Or, you can invoke any TemaTres web services without arguments, eg:
http://www.r020.com.ar/tematres/services.php


Please ... let me know about any problem or doubt :-) My apologies
about my english


best regards

 Diego, after a few minutes of wandering around, what I saw was pretty 
 impressive. I liked the keywords extractor interface the best. 'Have not gone 
 so far as to try to install it. Sorry.

 Consider publishing some of your work in Code4Lib Journal?

 Can you point us more specifically to the Web Services-based API 
 documentation?

[CODE4LIB] Code4Lib Community Sponsorship

2011-01-13 Thread Kevin S. Clarke
Great job Code4Lib!

You've collectively contributed $960 towards the sponsorship of our
2011 conference!  The goal was arbitrarily set at $1000, so we're only
$40 short of that... salesmans_voiceAnyway want to pitch in those
final dollars? 5, 10, 20?/salesmans_voice

Also, curious as to whether folks think we should up the goal or stay
with $1000.  I'm thinking we could take the answer from whether anyone
pitches in after we've reached the $1000 point.  If someone
contributes something over $1000, we can take that as a vote to bump
up the goal a bit ($500).  Otherwise, given a little time for people
to think about it, I'll just go ahead and send these funds into
Indiana as The Code4Lib Community sponsorship.

On a personal note, I think this level of participation is really
cool.  Thanks to Dan for the idea to have a community sponsorship!
It's been fun to pitch in and see others do the same...

[CODE4LIB] Yay, Code4Lib! Sponsorship goal accomplished!

2011-01-13 Thread Kevin S. Clarke
Hi Code4Lib,

You all are faster than I am.

In the process of typing up that last email, someone contributed
enough to put us at the 100% mark.  Yay, Code4Lib!

So, if we want to continue collecting (say set the goal at $1500),
someone else pitch in and we'll keep the fun going... :-)

I'm honestly not sure why we are fund-driving this from individuals, 
when the conference is, according to it's organizers, already 
sufficiently funded.  So, no, I see no reason to up the goal.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Code4Lib Community Sponsorship

2011-01-13 Thread Kevin S. Clarke
I think this is a good point to make (about the host saying they
aren't lacking at this point)... for me (just one person speaking),
this isn't about this year's conference being strapped for funds.

Personally, I think this is in part a gauge to see whether this might
work as a future method for (partially) funding the conference
(...though, admittedly, one year's success may not be an indicator of
an ongoing success).

It's also worth noting that money not used this year gets passed to
next year's host, so even if this year's host doesn't use this money
the conference is still benefiting and perhaps it reduces the amount
of other types of sponsorship we need for next year (or alternatively
gives us a buffer for a low sponsorship year).

And, I think, like many other things in Code4Lib, it's an experiment...

Lastly, it's just a nice way to express one's appreciation for the
conference... it's not going to waste even if it's not used this year.

Those are all just my personal opinions... others contributing might
have different reasons or motivations...

 I'm sorry if this creates a wrinkle for you, but I do not intend to
 use an assigned, shared laptop for my presentation.

 My presentation is not fully written yet, but I will not be solely
 stepping through powerpoint slides - far from it.  I intend to run
 code during my presentation:  I need my laptop to do this - it has
 all the programming software I need for it to work:  the correct
 versions of ruby and gems and so on.  If I'm brave, I might even
 write some code as part of my presentation.

 I would fervently hope that other presenters will be doing the same
 - they certainly have in the past.

 Beyond this, I am happy to be recorded, for my presentation to be
 considered public property and to use whichever microphone picks up
 my voice best (and works for my height and my outfit).

 Greetings,

 You are scheduled to present a talk at Code4Lib, to be held in
 Bloomington IN February 8-10 (conference 
 program:http://code4lib.org/conference/2011/schedule#conf)
 .

 All talks will be streamed, and following the conference the video
 will be deposited in the Internet Archive and IU ScholarWorks (IU’s
 research repository). We’ll need your permission both to stream and
 to deposit, and at some point you’ll be provided with a permission
 form. Please let me know now if you don’t intend to give permission
 to stream and/or to have your talk deposited.

 There are several logistical issues related to the video streaming.

 1)  In order to minimize technical problems mid-session, and to
 ensure smooth transitions between speakers, we’ll be loading
 presentation materials on the presentation laptops prior to each
 session. You should come to the session in which you are scheduled
 20 minutes early, with your presentation materials loaded on a USB
 drive (or be prepared to download your materials from the web), so
 we’re sure to have time to download everyone’s stuff. If you prefer
 to run your presentation straight from your USB key we can do that
 as well, just let me know. There will be volunteers contacting each
 session’s group of speakers the week before the conference to
 remind you of this. Please contact me now if you think this
 requirement will be an issue for you.
 2)  In order to have a successful recording, you’ll need to be
 mic’d. Please let me know if you’d prefer to use the podium mic or
 a lapel mic. Generally, if you like to move around a lot when you
 speak, you’re better off using the lapel mic.
 3)  Related to the previous point – will your presentation
 include audio from the laptop? If so, please let me know.

 Thanks very much. We’re looking forward to having you here next
 month!

I had a similar response. If the shared computer is exactly like mine,
I might consider it.

I have used a gadget called a TwinPact that sits between the 'puter
and the projector and sucks out the video. It also has primitive, but
useful, switching between sources and audio integration.
