I received the honors (and the responsibilities) to kickstart the Italian chapter for the Open Knowledge Foundation Open science working group. I am so happy that I have not been alone since the beginning. Together with two OKF Italia founding members (my old friend Maurizio Napolitano and Francesca de Chiara) and two first open scientist … Continue reading “Kickstarting the OKF Open Science group for Italy”

DataDeck v0.4.0 – Creation, modification and organization of Packages
A new DataDeck version is out. In DataDeck v0.4.0 I implemented quite all the additions I developed in dpm library. In this release I focused on packages. Because DataDeck searches and downloads packages from The Data Hub, it makes sense to have those packages organized and easily managed. Therefore, DataDeck now has a Package Library … Continue reading “DataDeck v0.4.0 – Creation, modification and organization of Packages”
Announcing DataDeck v0.3.3, huge refactoring and many bugs fixed
I could not call it v0.4.0 because I did not really add new functionalities since v0.3.2. But take a look at the GitHub compare of v0.3.2 and v0.3.3.

It is switching … Continue reading “Announcing DataDeck v0.3.1”

datapkggui v0.2.1, an important bugfix
I don’t usually post about bugfixing releases, but this one is very important. It seems that nobody (including me and datapkg developers) noticed that datapkg default configuration currently points to the old CKAN Api url, http://ckan.net/api/. While developing datapkggui, I simply changed the configuration line ckan.url = http://ckan.net/api/ to ckan.url = http://thedatahub.org/api/. New users that directly download datapkg (or … Continue reading “datapkggui v0.2.1, an important bugfix”
