The notebooks in the BigBang examples directory have been version 3 since the project started. In the most recent version of IPython, the notebooks have been updated to v4 to include (among other things?) the language-agnostic Jupyter branding. I'm going to update these notebooks in a commit soon, as per this issue: https://github.com/sbenthall/bigbang/issues/174 Please update your IPython packages in your Python environment so that you can use the new notebooks. Thanks, Seb

Standardizing notebooks with Git data

by Sebastian Benthall

I wanted to bring up something Aryan mentioned in this ticket in on the subject of recent contributions by Ven and himself visualizing Git data https://github.com/sbenthall/bigbang/issues/136#issuecomment-75007815 There are now a few different Git-related notebooks in the repository. It would be good if we could standardize on: * coding patterns -- will we be creating new objects to represent Git data or will we depend on the preprocessed Pandas dataframe? I see advantages to either. * notebook idioms -- we should come up standards for what gets including in notebooks and what gets pushed to underlying libraries so the notebooks stay clean is possible. * visualization idiom -- the out-of-the-box networkx graph visualizations are a good start but not pretty. We have some options for graph visualization, including more artful use of what networkx/matplotlib gives us, use of d3 within notebooks, etc. It would be cool to have a coherent set of design principles for this.

BigBang: version control analysis

by Sebastian P Benthall

Hi guys, Just an update, mainly for Aryan's benefit since he couldn't make the meeting today. Ven -- please sign up for the development mailing list here, where I will be sending emails like this in the future: https://lists.sudoroom.org/listinfo/bigbang-dev Aryan -- Ven is starting to dig into analyzing Git repositories by unpacking the Git commit network. This is the network you see in visualizations like these <https://github.com/sbenthall/bigbang/network>. He's working on these tickets for next week: https://github.com/sbenthall/bigbang/issues/135 https://github.com/sbenthall/bigbang/issues/136 What we discovered while looking at the GitRepo <https://github.com/sbenthall/bigbang/blob/master/git_data/GitRepo.py> code is that the Pandas dataframe does not yet have in it two kinds of data about the commits: * information about which commit each commit is a descendant of in the network. It might be the descendant of more than one commit if it is a 'merge' commit, for example. * the information about the 'diff' of each commit. Could you take a look at this and see if it's feasible to add this to GitRepo? I've made a ticket for this and assigned it to you. https://github.com/sbenthall/bigbang/issues/137 Looking forward to seeing you both on Wednesday, Seb

We need to put data storage paths into a configuration file

by Sebastian Benthall

An upcoming development priority for us will need to be providing a configuration file as the place to put paths to data storage folders (I'm thinking where we are keeping archived email lists, git repos, etc.) Currently those paths are hard-coded, which is poor form and is started to lead to bugs. https://github.com/sbenthall/bigbang/issues/113 https://github.com/sbenthall/bigbang/issues/129 There are a number of options for how to do this. We could use a YAML file for configuration, or the .cfg format which uses Pythons ConfigParser. We could also do what Django does have have a settings.py file for configuration constants. I'm pretty indifferent to which method we use myself; my high-level understanding is that they all do pretty much the same thing. But I was wondering if anybody else had a strong preference. Thanks, Seb
