Talend On Demand was upgraded to 3.1.2

2009-06-23T12:59:41+00:00

Hello Talend Community,

We have deeply upgraded Talend On Demand service. Talend On Demand is based on a centralized and shared repository, facilitating collaboration. Get more details about Talend On Demand.

Signing up automatically gives you 1 account with 2 users and 4 projects.

The main new feature is the new repository backend. We have switched from relational database to Subversion repository. This enhancement makes Talend Studio much faster when dealing with shared items like jobs, metadata or routines.

If you have any question about Talend On Demand, feel free to ask them in this topic or create a new topic in the forum section dedicated to Talend On Demand.

svn+ssh

2009-06-10T09:28:34+00:00

How to avoid that svn+ssh always asks for the password:

1. create a ssh key: ssh-keygen (without a passphrase or it will be asked each time you do an update)

2. connect to the remote server via ssh

3. edit or create a file “.ssh/authorized_keys” and put the content of your local “.ssh/id_rsa.pub” file (if the “.ssh” folder does not exist, execute “ssh-keygen” in order to generate it. Then remove the generated key files: “id_rsa” and “id_rsa.pub” which are not required)

Quantum Data Quality?

2009-05-31T15:34:28+00:00

What’s the link between quantum physics and data quality? In a recent discussion, Jim Harris suggests that data quality projects yield to a measurement problem as there is in quantum physics. He asks:

“When does a data quality project stop existing as potential success or failure and become one or the other?”

The question makes sense, but I don’t think there is any paradox in it. In my opinion, as long as we do not measure the data quality, nothing can be said about the success or failure of the data quality project. It’s like with any probabilistic issue: as long as the throw of a die is not read, we don’t know the outcome but there is an outcome. In other words, the status of the data quality project is in an undefined state, but it is certainly not in both states at the same time as the Schrödinger’s cat.

Now what could be common to quantum physics and data quality?

I think that something which could be common to both fields is that a context is required in order to perform the measurement. Data quality is contextual. We cannot speak about the quality in an absolute manner (see this discussion). In some context the data will be of good quality whereas in other contexts they could be of bad quality. It depends on the intended use or purpose as says Henrik Liliendahl Sørensen. But it’s not sufficient yet to be quantum. Other features are required before we can speak about quantum quality. I suppose that we would need to identify non-commuting contexts in data quality projects. This would mean the order of the measurements of data quality would play a crucial role. I am not sure that we can exhibit this kind of behavior. And we need probably to define more precisely all the concepts before we can show that data quality has something quantum.

Talend Community Fund, advertisement on the forum

2009-05-27T12:27:08+00:00

Hello Talend Community,

Talend is using Google advertising to raise funds for its community

Did you know that with over 3000 registered members, tens of thousands of unregistered readers, and 130,000 pages viewed per month, the Talend Forum is the leading source of community information for open source data integration?

In June 2009, Talend is introducing Google advertisements on the Talend Forum. The goal of this new initiative is simple: raise funds for the Talend Community - the thousands of users of open source data integration solutions who contribute one way or another to the value of the solution. These contributions take many forms: source code, feature design, beta testing, component creation, Talend Babili translation... But ultimately, they bring value to the entire community.

100% of the funds received through this program will go toward the Talend Community Fund. Talend will not benefit from a single dollar or euro of these funds.
