[CODE4LIB] position available: Public Knowledge Project - Software Developer

[Juan Pablo Alperin]

The public knowledge project has another software developer position available. 
See below, from http://pkp.sfu.ca/jobs


PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE PROJECT - SOFTWARE DEVELOPER
(April 11, 2011)

Interested in an chance to do some good before doing well? We are hiring PHP 
developers to work with the Public Knowledge Project (PKP), an open-source 
peace corps based at a number of universities that is challenging and changing 
how university research is shared with the world. Scientists in developing 
countries use our software to ensure that their journals are now seen and heard 
on a global basis. Scholars taking on daring new topics use our software to 
share what they are learning with the world for free. We provide the leading 
open source alternative for running rigorously reviewed journals, books, and 
conferences, so that the knowledge, rather than supporting the share-holder 
value of corporate publishers, can simply and effectively bring its light to a 
greater part of the world.

As a member of the PKP team, you are able to work where you want on highly 
flexible terms. You will have opportunities to travel, participate in 
conferences and workshops, and interact with a growing international community 
of users in the academic and publishing worlds. This is a fixed-term contract 
with a probationary period and good potential for continuing work. Salary is 
negotiable based on qualifications and experience.

Qualifications include:

• experience with current web development technology, especially PHP 
and JavaScript.
• experience with SQL (esp. MySQL and PostgreSQL), Apache, and Linux 
server administration.
Additional consideration given for:
• knowledge of, or experience with, PKP software (e.g. Open Journal 
Systems) or a similar open source project is valuable but not necessary.
• experience with current interface development using AJAX, JQuery, or 
similar tools.
Interested applicants should send the following:

• a cover letter containing a summary of their experience, and at least 
two references;
• a copy of their resume; and
• PHP code samples.
to Brian Owen, Associate University Librarian (brian_o...@sfu.ca). This posting 
will remain open until filled.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

The Public Knowledge Project is a federally funded research initiative at Simon 
Fraser University, Stanford University, and the University of British Columbia. 
PKP was established by Dr. John Willinsky in 1998. It seeks to improve the 
scholarly and public quality of academic research through the development of 
innovative online environments. PKP has developed free, open source software 
for the management, publishing, and indexing of journals and current 
conferences. The PKP software suite is comprised of three modules in 
production: Open Journal Systems, Open Conference Systems, Open Harvester 
System, and one in development: Open Monograph Press. Visit PKP 
http://pkp.sfu.ca/ and have a look at the software and code.

Re: [CODE4LIB] [dpla-discussion] Rethinking the "library" part of DPLA

[Eric Hellman]

The challenge I like to present to libraries is this: imagine that your entire 
collection is digital. Does it include Shakespeare? Does it include Moby Dick? 
Yes! Just because you don't have to pay for these works, doesn't mean that they 
don't belong in your library. And what if many modern works become available 
for free via Creative Commons licensing? Is it the library's role to promote 
these works, or should a library be promoting primarily the works it's paying 
for patrons to use?

That's why I thought Nate's suggestions were worthy of attention from people 
who could potentially do practical things.

The other hope is that if libraries can do compelling things with public domain 
content, there's no reason they couldn't do the same things with in-copyright 
material appropriately licensed. If the experience works, the rightsholders 
will see the value.

[GMRLIST] NLM Show Off Your Apps: Innovative Uses of NLM Information 
Challenge






Hello, GMR Members,
 
Have a nifty idea to help people find health information they need?
 
The NLM Show Off Your Apps: Innovative Uses of NLM Information Challenge 
is an initiative of the National Library of Medicine (NLM), of the 
National Institutes of Health, U.S. Department of Health and Human 
Services.  This Challenge is open to individuals, teams of individuals, 
and organizations (collectively, "Entrants").  The purpose of this contest 
is to develop innovative software applications to further NLM’s mission of 
aiding the dissemination and exchange of scientific and other information 
pertinent to medicine and public health.  Eligible software applications 
must make use of NLM’s vast collection of biomedical data including 
downloadable data sets, APIs (application programming interfaces), and/or 
software tools.
 
Read more about it and submit your idea here: 
http://challenge.gov/challenges/132.
 
The submission period starts today and goes until August 31, 2011.

Good luck!
Max

Re: [CODE4LIB] Planned changes to the VIAF RDF

[Young,Jeff (OR)]

It would make perfect sense for LC to publish the LCNAF in their id.loc.gov 
domain. I think the foaf:focus pattern is important for "name authorities", 
though, and would encourage them to coin two URIs instead of just one. For 
example:

 a skos:Concept ;
skos:inScheme < http://id.loc.gov/authorities#nameAuthorityFooBar>
skos:prefLabel "Bourbaki, Nicolas" ;
skos:altLabel "Burbaki, N."
foaf:focus  .
 a owl:Thing .

I wouldn't want to tell LC how to model the #thing resource, but I think it is 
important for them to at least coin a placeholder identifier for it so it 
doesn't get confused with the #concept.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Planned changes to the VIAF RDF

[Jonathan Rochkind]

I like that you said "when" rather than "if", heh. 

Have you guys at VIAF made it clear to LC that you'd consider them publishing 
in linked data to be a complement to VIAF, rather than duplication? I think 
maybe some people think it'd be duplication, which I think is not true.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Listserv help desperately needed!

[Bill Kuntz]

I have seen this at one of our schools.  In our case it was because
their spam filter sees the from address of whoe...@theirschool.edu, and
does not recognize our mail server as a valid sender for their domain.

We modified the from address to not be from their domain, and it now
happily accepts the mail.  We instead set the Return-Path and Reply-To
to their domain.

We get messages from the list just fine, as long as they don't come from

I disagree!  It is an elegant solution!  If I can't get some action out
of our email admins, that's exactly what I am going to do.

We use Postini too, but the problem isn't that the mail is being held up
by Postini.  The problem is that when it does make it to our mail
server, the server sends a reject message back to the origin.  In this
case the origin is the listserv who seems to be counting those rejects
and eventually unsubscribes us.

Eric, I'm not sure this is a listserv problem.  Our mail server is
rejecting mails sent to multiple employees when those mails are being
sent from an employee through the list.  I'm guessing there's a header
in those emails that claim they are somehow from oclc.org and our mail
server knows they aren't.

And too weird. I will take a closer look at these things. I promise.

This is too funny!  Devon and I just got unsubscribed today!  Probably
because our mail server rejected Jeff's messages to the list.

Subject: Listserv help desperately needed!

 

When an OCLC staff member sends a message to this list (and possibly all
lists) the rest of us in the company don't see the message.  Worse yet,
the company email system rejects the email to us and the sending
listserv eventually gets tired of that and unsubscribes us from the
list.

 

We can't be the only ones with this problem.  Does anyone have a
suggestion on how we fix it?

 

Thanks!

I can elaborate on the listserv if anyone wants to discuss the changes.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Code4Lib Wiki - anonymous edits disabled

[Jonathan Rochkind]

Thanks for minding the wiki, Ryan.  I think it's tolerable to leave anonymous 
edits disabled indefinitely, as anyone can create an account to make edits.

Anonymous edits on the wiki are temporarily disabled. You should still be able 
to edit pages when logged in with a wiki account, which anyone can sign up for 
if you don't have one yet.

Spam has been bad the last 2 weeks, but today a new wave came with edits every 
few minutes, many of them extremely destructive.  Disabling anonymous editing 
seems to have stopped it for now.
