[10:18:14 EDT(-0400)] <apetro-_> server-to-server calendaring protocol

[10:53:28 EDT(-0400)] * apetro-_ (n=apetro@72.33.23.236) has joined ##uportal
[10:54:07 EDT(-0400)] <apetro-_> Eric on portlet web flows for uP admin portlets
[10:54:48 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> yay, you're back!
[10:55:07 EDT(-0400)] <apetro-_> (back from coffee break. Still have consumed entirely too little caffeine)
[10:56:09 EDT(-0400)] <apetro-_> Nick Blair integrating with Oracle calendar
[10:56:27 EDT(-0400)] <apetro-_> Nick wrote Calendar Key. A simple application integratin w/ Oracle calendar
[10:56:35 EDT(-0400)] <apetro-_> get calendar data from Oracle
[10:56:50 EDT(-0400)] <apetro-_> (showing in acion on screen)
[10:57:38 EDT(-0400)] <apetro-_> re-implementation on integration developed at Bristol
[11:01:51 EDT(-0400)] * EricDalquist (n=EricDalq@static-210-59.vpn.wisc.edu) has joined ##uportal
[11:02:02 EDT(-0400)] <apetro-_> Nick Blair's goal for this week is to implement Oracle / Calenadar Key plugin for Yale-developed Calendar portlet
[11:02:33 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> what's Calendar Key?
[11:02:37 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> oh
[11:02:40 EDT(-0400)] * athena7 scrolls up
[11:03:11 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> nick might be interested in taking a look at the manchester-developed oracle calendar adapter in the contrib directory of the calendar portlet
[11:03:16 EDT(-0400)] <apetro-_> bridge to Oracle Calendar, exposing data in reasonably standardsy ways including iCal, RSS,
[11:03:20 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> my impression was that anthony colebourne has it very much working
[11:03:22 EDT(-0400)] * uwnick (n=nblair@boost.doit.wisc.edu) has joined ##uportal
[11:03:36 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> and there is nick
[11:03:37 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> although i may have broken it slightly in recent updates (might just need an extra method or two)
[11:03:43 EDT(-0400)] <uwnick> hello
[11:03:50 EDT(-0400)] <apetro-_> uwnick , meet athena7. athena7, meet uwnick
[11:03:51 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> i suspect that likely uses web services or the oracle api rather than ical/rss
[11:03:55 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> hello uwnick!
[11:04:21 EDT(-0400)] <apetro-_> Benn Oshrin on IdM
[11:04:29 EDT(-0400)] <apetro-_> OpenRegistry
[11:05:01 EDT(-0400)] <uwnick> brief intro - I'm the author of calendarkey, the main site (for now) is https://mywebspace.wisc.edu/npblair/calendarkey
[11:05:18 EDT(-0400)] <uwnick> looking forward to working on the great yale calendarportlet!
[11:05:29 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> that sounds great!
[11:06:12 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> before you came in, i mentioned that Anthony Colebourne (Manchester) developed an Oracle Calendar adapter for the calendar portlet that's distributed in the contrib directory of the project
[11:06:21 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> it may need an update or two to bring it in line w/ the current api
[11:06:58 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> although you could certainly probably just use the existing adapters to connect to the iCalendar functionality you've written already
[11:07:01 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> that's really cool (smile)
[11:07:41 EDT(-0400)] <uwnick> i was looking at the calendarportlet this morning; it should be straightforward to extend the httpicaladapter
[11:07:56 EDT(-0400)] <uwnick> the trunk version of calendarkey includes a rest style web service to deliver data
[11:08:04 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> oh cool (smile)
[11:08:16 EDT(-0400)] <uwnick> the urls look like /calendarkey/ws/username/startdate/enddate
[11:08:20 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> there's functionality built in to create custom edit screens as well, if you want to use it
[11:08:31 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> yeah that sounds very doable
[11:08:48 EDT(-0400)] <uwnick> we should talk about ideas for securing those requests, but the functions work
[11:08:59 EDT(-0400)] <apetro-_> an edit screen letting users select those dates (from happy javascript calendar widgets) that then composed the right query URL might be cool
[11:09:07 EDT(-0400)] <uwnick> we could even generate a separate kind of "share" for accessing them
[11:09:51 EDT(-0400)] <uwnick> eric just pointed out to me that uw's svn is now accessible via the internet, i've granted anonymous readonly access to calendarkey's svn
[11:09:53 EDT(-0400)] <apetro-_> on, second thought, less with the calendar widget – it's relative dates that matter
[11:10:05 EDT(-0400)] <uwnick> https://svn.doit.wisc.edu/svn/wisccal/calendarkey/ - trunk has the rest functions
[11:11:16 EDT(-0400)] <apetro-_> Benn Oshrin presenting on OpenRegistry project
[11:11:20 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> the calendar portlet has been used to do both CAS and basic auth
[11:11:24 EDT(-0400)] <higpetter> ja-sig.org died?
[11:11:27 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> so such things are certainly possible
[11:11:40 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> i think there are some examples of both of those in the project already
[11:11:54 EDT(-0400)] <EricDalquist> works for me ...
[11:12:04 EDT(-0400)] * holdorph (n=holdorph@wsip-98-174-242-39.ph.ph.cox.net) has joined ##uportal
[11:12:05 EDT(-0400)] <higpetter> just woke up again (wink)
[11:12:45 EDT(-0400)] <apetro-_> http://idms.rutgers.edu/openregistry
[11:13:28 EDT(-0400)] * holdorph wonders why apetro needs such a complicated nick
[11:13:56 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> complicated fellow?
[11:14:20 EDT(-0400)] * apetro-_ underscores my dashingness
[11:14:24 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> lol
[11:15:13 EDT(-0400)] <apetro-_> Tyler from USD on content management integration in portal
[11:15:53 EDT(-0400)] <apetro-_> my dahes and underscores are generated by Linkinus trying to find a non-colliding username on re-connections when prior connection is still live
[11:16:47 EDT(-0400)] <apetro-_> integrating with CommonSpot
[11:18:01 EDT(-0400)] <uwnick> question about private Set<CalendarEvent> getEvents(CalendarConfiguration calendarListing, Period period) in HttpICalAdapter
[11:18:33 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> what's the question?
[11:18:40 EDT(-0400)] <uwnick> it gets the url from the CalendarConfiguration's definition's Map named parameters
[11:18:47 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> yes
[11:18:55 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> that's the user-configurable http ical adapter
[11:19:07 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> so we let the url be a parameter so the user can type it into a form
[11:19:12 EDT(-0400)] <uwnick> could we extract that function to an overridable method?
[11:19:26 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> yes
[11:19:43 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> although it's kind of more complicated than that, potentially
[11:19:52 EDT(-0400)] <uwnick> well, it may not quite work solely in that method - because in the portlet, we'll need to extract the user's "username" attribute in order to construct the rest url to retrieve
[11:19:56 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> for instance, the cas auth adapters will have to further modify that base url
[11:20:02 EDT(-0400)] <uwnick> exactly
[11:20:11 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> right
[11:20:39 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> but probably still possible to factor that out
[11:20:51 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> just need to pay some attention to caching
[11:21:01 EDT(-0400)] <uwnick> sure
[11:21:30 EDT(-0400)] <uwnick> what is the difference between the "downloadUrl" and "url" parameters stored in the definition?
[11:22:11 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> so there was a requirement at yale to be able to let users click on a calendar to download it
[11:23:01 EDT(-0400)] <uwnick> ah - so if i want the user to be able to download it with a link, I use that; if not I focus solely on url (I'm thinking I'd not allow the download, since the user may not have access to the data url, depending on how we secure it)
[11:23:03 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> for calendars that were ical feeds, we put a little "download" button on the edit page
[11:23:12 EDT(-0400)] <apetro> Scott Cantor presenting on Shib
[11:23:19 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> yeah, more or less
[11:23:31 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> potentially you might have a url and a download url, since they could potentially be different
[11:23:40 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> w/ cas auth the real url would have a cas token on it
[11:23:54 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> the download url we'd probably leave it off and just let the user authenticate when they clicked on the link
[11:24:31 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> please do feel free to make suggestions and propose changes and such
[11:24:51 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> the code really needs to be tried out by others and cleaned up a bit so we can declare a release someday
[11:25:12 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> i think it would probably also be worthwhile to refactor the database a little - group all user calendars under one calendar set
[11:25:30 EDT(-0400)] <athena7> since that would make it a lot easier to someday implement features to have different sets of data for each portlet instance, if people wanted that
[11:28:29 EDT(-0400)] * apetro wishes Howard Gilbert had been able to come to the UnConference
[11:29:57 EDT(-0400)] <apetro> Shib n-tier authentication swamp
