Re: [CODE4LIB] jobs.code4lib.org and job locations
Hi Ed, thank you for your work, it is very nice job! I have one comment: some job description too lengthy to show up in one screen size, so I have to move the map downside to see the top of the rescription.

Re: [CODE4LIB] jobs.code4lib.org and job locations
Hi Péter, I probably didn't explain myself very well at 2am :-) The Google Map was just meant as a demonstration of the underlying geo coordinates in the job data (exposed as georss in the Atom feed). Eventually I would like to get a map working on jobs.code4lib.org using LeafletJS [1] or some other toolkit, where the map can be more customized, and display more results. The feed is paged, so there's only so much that can be displayed currently. It might also be interesting to see a map for the last year of posts, to see general trends in hiring on a map. And I'd like to get location specific feeds set up for people who still use feed readers to keep up with things. They do still exist don't they? That being said, please share whatever you come up with! //Ed [1] http://leafletjs.com/ On Sun, Feb 24, 2013 at 8:39 AM, Péter Király kirun...@gmail.com wrote: Hi Ed, thank you for your work, it is very nice job!

Re: [CODE4LIB] jobs.code4lib.org and job locations
Hi Gary, Great idea, and it was easy to implement. For example you can now get tag related feeds: http://jobs.code4lib.org/feed/tag/digital-preservation/ http://jobs.code4lib.org/feed/tag/python/ http://jobs.code4lib.org/feed/tag/web-archiving/ http://jobs.code4lib.org/feed/tag/fedora-repository-architecture/ etc ... Your feed reader should be able to pick up on the feed url, but a click to the feed icon on the tag specific jobs pages will take you to the feed if not. I also added the feed URLs as a column to the tag page: http://jobs.code4lib.org/tags/ It's kind of neat to see them on a map, e.g. https://maps.google.com/maps?q=http://jobs.code4lib.org/feed/tag/digital-preservation/ Thanks for the idea! //Ed On Sun, Feb 24, 2013 at 10:44 AM, Gary McGath develo...@mcgath.com wrote: Definitely!

Re: [CODE4LIB] jobs.code4lib.org and job locations
Hi Chris,
the only think I could add to your work is a tip for display. It works
with Mapstraction library (http://mapstraction.com/) and it is
attributed to Adam Duvander, he described it in Map Scripting 101 (No
Stratch Press, 2010) pp. 109-110.
The following snippet saves the position of the map at the time user
opens a marker's info box, and restore this position when user closes
the info box. Sometime the info box moves the map, and when user
closes it, the original marker is not visible since the viewport was
shifted.
When you create a marker you might want to do like this:
var mk = new mxn.Marker(point);
...
mk.openInfoBubble.addHandler(myboxopened);
mk.closeInfoBubble.addHandler(myboxclosed);
mapstraction.addMarker(mk);
function myboxopened(event_name, event_source, event_args) {
mapcenter = mapstransaction.getCenter();
}
function myboxclosed(event_name, event_source, event_args) {
mapstransaction.setCenter(mapcenter, {pan: true});
}
Mapstraction is an abstraction library works with different map APIs
(Google, Yahoo!, MS etc.), and even if you don't use, it is
translatable into native APIs. Of course it won't work in the case
when the Jobs Map is NOT integrated into the main Google Map page
(https://maps.google.com/maps?q=http://jobs.code4lib.org/feed/), but
only if you create a distinct page, and you use the map's API.
Regards,
Péter

[CODE4LIB] jobs.code4lib.org and job locations
If you happen to post jobs to code4lib.org you'll notice that you can now add a location for the job. In fact you are required to fill it in when posting. The location input field uses Freebase Suggest just like the employer and tag fields. When you select an employer the location will auto-populate with the employer's headquarters location, but you can change it if the job happens to be somewhere else...which does happen from time to time. I retroactively applied as many locations as I could using the employer. One nice side effect (other than seeing where the job is for in the UI) is having lat/lon geo-coordinates for the job.

Re: [CODE4LIB] jobs.code4lib.org
We did something with CommentPress, catalog records, and digitized Islamic Manuscripts that was a bit more formal than what Corey describes (see http://www.lib.umich.edu/islamic/ for the site, and http://www.lib.umich.edu/islamic/getting-started for an overview). These were largely Arabic manuscripts from the 15th-19th centuries that were digitized and added to HathiTrust, but for which we had minimal cataloging information. We crowd-sourced some of the cataloging to Islamic scholars around the world -- they looked at the digital documents, reviewed the bare-bones cataloging record we had created, and suggested additions. Catalogers reviewed and corrected, and repeated.

[CODE4LIB] jobs.code4lib.org
(apologies if you already saw this on the cod4libcon list) There were some questions on #code4lib IRC today about jobs.code4lib.org. Jonathan is right, it is a bit wacky, but hopefully in a good way. I was going to grab a lightning talk slot at the conference to talk about it, but here is a brief summary that may help. jobs.code4lib.org is a Python Django application called shortimer that is on github [1]. Jobs end up on jobs.code4lib.org via two workflows: 1. posting via email: - lots of people post job ads to the code4lib mailing list, so shortimer subscribes to the list and tries to find job postings in the emails it receives - if it finds what looks like a job it extracts what metadata it can, and adds it to its database in an non-published state - logged in users can curate jobs [2] (clean up job titles, add the employer, job URL, and any tags that seem relevant) and then hit publish - when someone publishes a job it will show up on the homepage [3] - when someone publishes a job the code4lib twitter account [4] will tweet the job announcement 2. posting via website - a logged in user can go to a web form [5] and post a new job - when they hit publish an email will go to the discussion list, and will get tweeted That's pretty much it. Freebase is used as a controlled vocabulary for tags and employers which has some benefits in displaying jobs by a topic like Ruby [6]. It's even possible to get some general trend reporting [7]. This is a long way of saying: if you have jobs to announce before or at the conference please feel free to try out jobs.code4lib.org :-) Of course there is a whole lot of value in a physical board at the conference and/or a wiki with people that can answer questions in person though. There's no replacing that... //Ed [1] http://github.com/code4lib/shortimer [2] http://jobs.code4lib.org/curate/ [3] http://jobs.code4lib.org [4] http://twitter.com/code4lib [5] http://jobs.code4lib.org/job/new/ [6] http://jobs.code4lib.org/jobs/ruby/ [7] http://jobs.code4lib.org/reports/
Re: [CODE4LIB] jobs.code4lib.org
I guess it's rarely a good idea to respond to your own post, but I forgot to add that when a job is published on jobs.code4lib.org it will show up in the site's Atom feed [1]. The feed should be usable by your feed reader of choice, and could also be useful if you want to syndicate the jobs elsewhere. //Ed [1] http://jobs.code4lib.org/feed/ PS. It was kind of fun to finally use the tag link relation to mark up the job tags in the feed with Freebase URLs. For example: entry ... link rel=tag title=Unix href=http://www.freebase.com/view/en/unix; type=text/html / link rel=tag title=Unix [JSON] href=http://www.freebase.com/experimental/topic/standard/en/unix; type=application/json / link rel=tag title=Unix [RDF] href=http://rdf.freebase.com/rdf/en.unix; type=application/rdf+xml / /entry
