Modeling Bootcamp Friday Noon-2PM Central time
by Christopher Henry 07 Feb '13

07 Feb '13

Dear colleges, I'll be holding the second Model Bootcamp tomorrow from noon-2PM central time. This time the plan is to hold the bootcamp on Webex and conference call. The conference call number will be: US/CAN Toll Free: 1-888-850-4523 Participant Passcode: 913601 I will have the outreach team set up the webex for me. As soon as I have the info, I'll pass it along. We'll see how that goes. If all else fails, we will fall back to Google Hangout. In this boot camp, we will use IRIS!!!! http://140.221.84.183/iris/Iris/# Oh yes… it is working and it is awesome (yay Bob and Jim)! Also prominently featured will be the workspace browser: http://140.221.92.49/ It is also working and it is also awesome (yay Paul)! So load up your phenotype data… warm up your Globus KBase account… pick out your favorite genome, and get ready to have some modeling fun!!! And bring a notebook and sharpened pencils… because I want feedback damn it! I got comments from only three people last time. The whole purpose here is to try and make sure this doesn't suck by the time we get to February. Chris

Workspace Browser
by Paul Frybarger 30 Jan '13

Hey all, So here's the workspace browser, as it currently stands: http://140.221.92.49/ You can view all the workspaces you own, as well as the ones for which you have permission. Most of the workspace management functions are implemented, for instance changing the global permission, deleting, etc... There is a problem with giving other users permission that I hope to figure out today, so that feature is not working yet. You can also create new workspaces, and soon will be able to clone other's workspaces. For dealing with objects, right you can only view object metadata and download the object data in raw form. I'm not sure how much I'll be able to get done before the build next week, but I hope to have object management (delete, copy, move) and a better viewing system done by the demo. Please let me know about any questions or comments. I will send this prototype out to the dev list tomorrow, but wanted to see what you guys think first. There is still some work I need to do regarding styling, error handling, and workspace selection, but I think it's in decent shape. Thanks, Paul

Hi all, I've got a conflicting call, so I can only attend today for the first 10 minutes.

Hello everyone, The first modeling bootcamp went pretty well I think, although I ended up talking the whole time so maybe others feel differently. I will strive to make this much more interactive and "workshop" like. This time, I was trying to cover as much of the tools and vision as possible. We made a video of my terminal and audio the entire time. Those videos, and the commented text from my terminal from the bootcamp are here: http://bioseed.mcs.anl.gov/~chenry/KBaseVideos/ModelingBootcamp/ I'll add the text from Sam's captionist as well, as soon as it's available. Again, please send comments and suggestions. It didn't go perfectly, and not everything is quite ready or a polished product, but this was a decent portrayal of the fulfillment of much of what I envisioned for the KBase microbes demo, so if I'm way off the mark on something, I want to know. We probably shouldn't share this first video with the community… I wasn't being careful enough with what I said to make this public. Also, there were bugs and flaws. The plan right now is to hold this bootcamp again on the following dates: 2/8: ~1-3PM 2/15: ~1-3PM 2/22: ~1-3PM The goal is to polish the tools, flag problems, identify areas for improvement, and improve the look, feel, and presentation of the workshop. This will evolve into the modeling demo we give at the GTL meeting. Sam already provided some great feedback. On the 15th or the 22nd, I think we'll produce videos and transcripts that are worthy of being shared and disseminated to the scientific community. For example, but then, we'll be running the whole thing in IRIS. I will open up the invitation for people to join the remaining bootcamps via google hangout. This time was a bit of a select crowd (microbial people who really need to see this workshop). Enjoy the videos and script (beware, it's two hours long). Hopefully we can build a tutorial from this.

We'll be going over the modeling tools in KBase. We'll hold it on google hangout. I'll also be recoding my screen in video, and Sam's captionist will be there (meaning we'll get a meeting transcript in writing). I'll also record the screen text of the demo. I'm hoping some of you can make it. This will be a documentation boon. > > This will be the first of many such bootcamps, which I will probably hold on Fridays around the same time every week until the demo (except next week, when I'll be at Notre Dame). > I expect this to evolve into our modeling demo on February 25th. > > I don't expect it to go smoothly. If you want to attend one that goes really smoothly, don't come to this one… or the next one. But I do hope a core of you will come with comments that will help us to polish these services to make them "production ready". > (strangely, the students in my thermo class this year didn't like it so much when I said the same thing to them) > > If you can't make it because of time conflicts, then let me know.

It comes down to that there's only so much time before the demo and I have a lot of things to do, so if it's not required for the demo I'm not doing it. > Based on the current structure I should expect a function in this spec > a la 'returnFitnessDataForBiclustering' and > 'returnExperimentDataForBiclustering'? Even 'returnTabData' or > 'returnDataMatrix' would be fantastic. Is this necessary for the demo? If so, if you have a use case write it up and I'll see what I can do. If not, do the same but don't bother sending it to me until Mar 1 :P -g On 1/16/2013 3:14 PM, Marcin Joachimiak wrote: > > >> Do you have a short spec in plain English? > I'm not convinced that'd be helpful.
