Re: [CODE4LIB] Call for Code4Lib 2016 Pre-Conference Proposals

[Harlow, Christina Marie]

Hi everyone:

Thank you for all the great feedback and ideas on Code4Lib pre-conference 
workshops.

The pre-conference group has started off planning for this with a focus on 
having plenty of time to liaise with the accepted workshop leaders on questions 
like when and with whom to share the workshop preparation 
materials/installation instructions/etc, as well as how to best support last 
minute installation/changes the day of (i.e. not just relying on wifi for 
downloads, having instructions easy to find and access, etc.).

We will look into the (very good) idea of having a shared virtual space for 
preparation materials provided by the leaders of each pre-conference workshop 
so that attendees can prepare in advance. Perhaps we can also use that space to 
share any questions that come up for other attendees going through the 
installation processes. We will reach out to the workshop leaders earlier than 
last year with list of registered attendees so they can get preparation 
materials to the shared site and directly to attendees as soon as they are able.

I’m uncertain that we will be able to offer a library box loaded with 
pre-conference materials for all the possible pre conference spaces, but we 
will definitely look into it. And we will recommend for workshop leaders to 
have back up downloads via thumb drive or other such device of necessary 
materials/applications/etc.

If someone wants to propose a pre-conference on preparing for pre-conferences, 
we welcome your submission.

Thanks,
Christina

[CODE4LIB] Duplicate Apache log entries for range requests

[Daniel Feenberg]

I am trying to count downloads by page using Apache weblogs.
I have noticed that partial requests require special
treatment. If I use Chrome to fetch

   http://www.nber.org/papers/w12345.pdf

the log shows three lines. The first has return code 200 for
the entire document. The next shows return code 206 for the
first 32768 bytes and the last again shows return code 206
for the remaining bytes. Note that I only make one request to
the client computer - Chrome is doing the expansion. Firefox
does something similar. I don't know about other browsers.

If I count only log lines with return code 206 requesting the
initial bytes I will miss browsers that ask for the full
document in one request. If I add log lines with a return
code of 200, then I will double count requests like the one
described above. Can I just count all 200 responses, on the
assumtion that a request for the full document is always
made? That seems unlikely. Can I use the change in the
referring field? That seems unreliable. Is there a solution
that doesn't involve correlating actions across log lines?
That would be a lot more work.

For what it is worth, here are the 3 log lines described
above:

   dhcp-7-76.nber.org - - [05/Oct/2015:16:45:10 -0400] "GET

Hello! Several of us encountered this article
http://www.theverge.com/2015/9/18/9349425/slack-future-of-conferences-xoxo-festival
and we like the idea that Slack can be used as a communication hub for
the code4lib community. We know Slack is a lot like IRC, and we have
that already. But there seem to be more features in Slack that would
help with the conference, like the easy creation and discovery of
channels. This is an experiment to see if we can expand the community
even more. How? It's is up to you! :-)
Unfortunately, Slack doesn't provide an automated sign up mechanism;
people need to be invited to join it. If you're interested in joining
code4lib.slack.com, please provide your email through this form
(goo.gl/forms/p9Ayz93DgG) or fill it out directly below and we will
send you the invitation. Thanks.

Re: [CODE4LIB] Call for Code4Lib 2016 Pre-Conference Proposals

[Fox, Bobbi]

Hi, Christina!

I don't have a workshop to propose, but I *do* have a plea for any workshop 
that is a hands-on-the-laptop experience:

That the presenter of said workshop provide links, in advance, to any software 
needed.  If the presenter would suggest the use of vagrant or docker (or 
whatever else is out there), then links to those tools, plus good, easy 
implementation instructions, should also be supplied in advance.  In addition, 
if the workshop is going to feature a particular language or framework, that 
should be specified in advance as well.  (why no, I *don't* know how to spin up 
a web server on my Windoze laptop; at work I do it in Linux!)

I have unfortunately been to too many workshops where the presenter either 
assumed a crystal-clear, fast, internet connection for the 40 participants, or 
assumed a lot more vagrant/docker knowledge than I, and several others, had.


(hmm, maybe I can find someone to propose an "everything you need to learn, 
software package-wise, to take advantage of Code4Lib hands-on workshops...)

Cheers,
Bobbi

An additional problem with slack is that it is non-free. Will the gateway 
[0] be turned on so those of us who use IRC or XMPP won't be shut out?


Best,
Jack

Yes!!! I would love a workshop/session/whatever on "everything you need to
learn, software package-wise, to take advantage of Code4Lib hands-on
workshops". That would be such a help, as it's so often assumed.  --Linda
