[14:19:49 CST(-0600)] <holdorph> i wonder if it's surveymonkey i'm thinking of

[14:20:59 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist1> back on in a little bit folks, have to run home

[14:21:51 CST(-0600)] <athena> surveymonkey, yes

[14:21:57 CST(-0600)] <athena> that sounds like a useful thing

[14:28:48 CST(-0600)] <holdorph> hmm.... the free option at surveymonkey only supports 100 responses. While, i doubt we'd get that many, still seems like a frustrating limitation.

[14:30:38 CST(-0600)] <athena> that does indeed seem silly

[14:31:26 CST(-0600)] <holdorph> the first tier up from free, is a $204 annual subscription

[14:31:27 CST(-0600)] <athena> i think you can maybe make them using google docs?

[14:32:04 CST(-0600)] <holdorph> probably. i have no idea how easy or hard it is with google docs. but worth checking out, i suppose if it is quick

[14:32:19 CST(-0600)] <athena> looks plausible: http://www.online-tech-tips.com/google-softwaretips/how-to-create-an-online-survey-for-free-using-google-docs/

[14:32:27 CST(-0600)] <athena> i think that's how we're powering the current portal registration thing

[14:34:21 CST(-0600)] <holdorph> hmm... that guide is old, my version of a google doc spreadsheet doesn't look the same

[14:34:46 CST(-0600)] <holdorph> I don't have that second image "print, discuss, share, publish". style tabs.

[14:35:07 CST(-0600)] <holdorph> i have a share button, but clicking on that, doesn't give me the "to fill out a form" option

[14:40:19 CST(-0600)] <holdorph> ok, try this: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dFBSVjQ5RFFrOTV4QmVPc0owOGU2S2c6MQ

[14:49:35 CST(-0600)] <holdorph> Arvids1: can you test that survey for me: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dFBSVjQ5RFFrOTV4QmVPc0owOGU2S2c6MQ

[14:53:25 CST(-0600)] <Arvids2> ok, just a minute

[14:53:49 CST(-0600)] <Arvids2> ahh... very nice

[14:53:59 CST(-0600)] <holdorph> let me know when you've submitted

[14:54:12 CST(-0600)] <Arvids2> looks like VPN connecting/disconnecting spawns a lot of clones (big grin)

[14:54:21 CST(-0600)] <Arvids2> submitted

[14:54:21 CST(-0600)] <holdorph> nod

[14:55:01 CST(-0600)] <holdorph> ok, nice. I didn't see any option for 'sharing' permissions, so wanted to make sure it was accessible to public, before posting the link to the mailing list.

[14:55:02 CST(-0600)] <athena> looks like a nice survey

[14:55:13 CST(-0600)] <athena> do we want to maybe ask what the institution is?

[14:55:35 CST(-0600)] <athena> my suggestion would be to add that

[14:55:47 CST(-0600)] <athena> and then maybe a checkbox to decide whether to allow us to list them as a uportal adopter

[14:55:48 CST(-0600)] <holdorph> i was going to just do one question, so people would be more likely to answer it.

[14:55:49 CST(-0600)] <Arvids2> +1 from me

[14:55:52 CST(-0600)] <athena> and then we can make a map of responses

[14:55:59 CST(-0600)] <athena> i know we don't want to add too much

[14:56:13 CST(-0600)] <holdorph> i'm worried there's some relationship to length of survey to number of responses (smile)

[14:56:18 CST(-0600)] <athena> but from a practical standpoint, it'll probably be more useful to those of us doing development and planning to have a sense of which schools are running which versions

[14:56:49 CST(-0600)] <athena> because then we can infer things about institution size, java expertise, etc. that can help us actually do something useful with those responses

[14:56:58 CST(-0600)] <Arvids2> Hmm... portal registration portlet serves for that purpose

[14:57:15 CST(-0600)] <athena> right - we don't need to ask all those questions all over again

[14:57:34 CST(-0600)] <athena> but if we know which institutions are planning to upgrade to uportal 4, we can have a sense of how big they are, etc. from information we already have

[14:57:51 CST(-0600)] <Arvids2> That reminds me that I should fill in that form (smile)

[14:58:04 CST(-0600)] <athena> and . . . that's the reason i suggested we maybe add a checkbox too

[14:58:10 CST(-0600)] <athena> then we could create a map, update the public data

[14:58:15 CST(-0600)] <athena> since i think we all know it's really out of date

[15:00:56 CST(-0600)] <Arvids2> btw, there are still two lists of deployments: https://wiki.jasig.org/display/UPC/Deployed+uPortals and http://www.jasig.org/uportal/deployments

[15:01:14 CST(-0600)] <athena> and we also have a google spreadsheet, which should probably replace both those things

[15:01:19 CST(-0600)] <athena> i'll poke the steering committee about that

[15:01:26 CST(-0600)] <holdorph> ok, sent. I know it would be nice to have the institution name, i wanted it as well. But I just worried too much that it might be just enough to cause someone to not fill it out. I rather like the anonymous nature of it, in it's current form.

[15:02:01 CST(-0600)] <athena> i guess - could have been optional

[15:02:32 CST(-0600)] <athena> as a developer i'm worried i won't be able to do much with the resulting data

[15:03:24 CST(-0600)] <holdorph> 'much' sure. i agree. but the idea only occurred to me, in terms of being able to answer Arvids question earlier.

[15:04:23 CST(-0600)] <holdorph> "is anyone else running uPortal 4". Sure I won't be able to say which organization is running it. but at least I'd be able to say "yes, about 4 schools are running it in production" or something like that

[15:05:48 CST(-0600)] <holdorph> wow, already got one response, besides Arvids. nice.

[15:06:04 CST(-0600)] <Arvids2> that was fast

[15:06:16 CST(-0600)] <holdorph> oooh, one more. up to 3. exciting.

[15:06:46 CST(-0600)] <holdorph> 4

[15:07:47 CST(-0600)] <Arvids2> ok, time to sleep. Thank you for your time. Good night (smile) I´m looking forward to see those results, because it could speed up some possible bug detection.

[15:08:10 CST(-0600)] <holdorph> g'night. later.

[15:11:24 CST(-0600)] <holdorph> 3 responses so far for up 3.1.x (current), 2 for up 3.2.x. All 5 responses plan to upgrade to up 4.0.x. 3 in jan-march, 1 in april-june, 1 in oct-dec

[15:32:12 CST(-0600)] <holdorph> 12 responses. now with 2 of the 12, saying their plans are upgrading from 3.2.x to 3.2.x. still have the 1 response with no plans to upgrade, the other 9 all plan to upgrade to up 4, this year. currently no one is running up 4 in production.

[16:14:14 CST(-0600)] <pandisaurus> hey I am trying to import some channels into uPortal 4 (the channels should be upgrading from 3.2) and I occasionally get an error (occasionally because I can run the import and get the error, then run it again without changing anything and sometimes no error occurs)

[16:14:34 CST(-0600)] <pandisaurus> the error is: Caused by: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: cvc-pattern-valid: Value ' dailyUniverseMultimedia ' is not facet-valid with respect to pattern '[\w-_]+' for type 'fname-type'.

[16:14:48 CST(-0600)] <pandisaurus> the value is arbitrary, it changes randomly (that's the name of one of the channels)

[16:14:56 CST(-0600)] <pandisaurus> that is a portlet, in this case

[16:15:24 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist1> hrm

[16:15:30 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist1> not sure how that error would just go away

[16:15:51 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist1> so you're saying that on try 1 the import fails on foo.channel

[16:15:59 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist1> but then on try 2 foo.channel imports correctly?

[16:16:13 CST(-0600)] <pandisaurus> that is correct

[16:16:21 CST(-0600)] <pandisaurus> and bar.channel fails another time

[16:16:34 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist1> that is very strange

[16:16:39 CST(-0600)] <pandisaurus> where foo.channel and bar.channel are completely arbitrary because it could be any of the channels

[16:16:43 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist1> yeah

[16:16:48 CST(-0600)] <pandisaurus> and sometimes it just goes through all of them claiming successful

[16:17:25 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist1> I'm just about to sign off for the day … could you create a jira issue at issues.jasig.org and paste in the full output of a failed run?

[16:17:31 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist1> that would help in tracking down the problem

[16:17:40 CST(-0600)] <pandisaurus> I'll note, it says "INFO Importing 104 files of type <channel-definition script="classpath://org/jasig/portal/io/import-channel_v3-2.crn"> " then it does not say upgraded 104 times

[16:17:55 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist1> ok, that sounds correct

[16:18:14 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist1> even better if you can also attach the .channel file that failed in the example you post

[16:18:21 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist1> I realize it is different channel files each time

[16:18:28 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist1> but having the correlation for one failed run could help

[16:18:56 CST(-0600)] <pandisaurus> I can do that no problem, its just odd

[16:19:06 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist1> I agree

[16:19:21 CST(-0600)] <pandisaurus> what determines whether it says 'upgraded' next to the channel or not?

[16:19:58 CST(-0600)] <pandisaurus> since I have you here

[16:20:35 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist1> it should say it for all of them

[16:20:43 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist1> since you are importing .channel files from 3.2

[16:20:57 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist1> the XML file has to be transformed into the 4.0 format

[16:20:59 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist1> and then imported

[16:21:10 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist1> that transform step is what prints out the upgraded message

[16:21:54 CST(-0600)] <pandisaurus> I'm showing 24 "upgraded" messages, but it says it found 104 files to import (104 should be accurate) is there a way to see what files its skipping and why?

[16:22:08 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist1> is that after a failure?

[16:22:16 CST(-0600)] <pandisaurus> no I'm counting when its successful

[16:22:19 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist1> hrm

[16:22:23 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist1> that sounds like a bug

[16:22:35 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist1> you should be seeing either the same numbers all the way through

[16:22:40 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist1> or it should fail with a reason

[16:22:49 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist1> stuff shouldn't get silently ignored

[16:23:39 CST(-0600)] <pandisaurus> hmmm, that's troublesome because it is silently ignoring. "git checkout" just updates to the most current version of the trunk right? If I'm not specifying a branch?

[16:25:16 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist1> sorry

[16:25:40 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist1> "git checkout branch-name" checks out the specified branch

[16:25:41 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist1> locally

[16:25:50 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist1> to updates to the branch you are currently on

[16:25:57 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist1> do "git pull"

[16:26:18 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist1> which is a shortcut for doing:

[16:26:18 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist1> git fetch

[16:26:19 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist1> git merge origin/current-branch-name

[16:26:34 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist1> you can determine your current branch via "git status"

[16:26:41 CST(-0600)] <EricDalquist1> have to run though
