Hey guys, I am working on a personal projeto for sharing Open Access papers. I am created a simple dashboard with Django where a user can view the paper metadata and download the paper itself. I currently have around 10M papers stored in Backblaze B3. I wonder if this is a type of project that may fit in OKFN, since I need some help organising the metadata, perhaps do some text analysis for categorization and so on.
:tada: We’ve just released a new tool for Power BI today. Thought it would be good to share this news on here so you’d be among the first to know :smile:
Data Package Connector (datapackage-connector) is a Power BI Custom Connector for loading tables directly from Tabular Data Packages (Frictionless Data).
Learn more about it at https://github.com/nimblelearn/datapackage-connector

If that's correct, I'd love to know the rationale for this — mostly so that I can explain it to workshop participants who will then need to make decisions re whether to use it in their classrooms.
I can’t remember if that is only option. I think initially because we needed a nice user name in the url … it would not be hard to change ...
Or rather, first: is there someone else who can confirm that currently the only way to create a TM account is through Twitter?
Hi, folks. Any idea why none of the javascript on dataportals.org are loading? okfn/dataportals.org#200
Does anyone know if the open product data project is still active or if someone could give me more information about it. I mean this one : https://product.okfn.org
If it is indeed active, I think perhaps the project could collaborate in some way with Open Food Facts. https://world.openfoodfacts.org/ What do you think?
hi folks, I'm looking at the BibJSON project page (http://okfnlabs.org/bibjson/#feedback). It mentions that a number of translators/parsers have been implemented already and are available in the organization's repo. Could someone please point me to that repo if possible? I'm unable to find it.
Probably these: https://github.com/okfn/bibserver/tree/master/parserscrapers_plugins but that repo was abandoned almost a decade ago
is there still any interest in promoting and using BibJSON or has this standard fallen by the way side?
If anyone is looking for open data day stuff there is a dedicated gitter channel here https://gitter.im/okfn/opendataday
😄
@amercader are you around today per chance? I want to try and fix some stuff on dataportals.org and may need your help deploying!
datacatalogs.org is on heroku right?
or have admin access so i can add others @amercader
