PROFILE

Don Sizemore

Don Sizemore contributed to the IQSS/dataverse repository by implementing concurrency control in the beta deployment workflow, ensuring only one deployment runs at a time to prevent race conditions and deployment conflicts. He achieved this by introducing a concurrency group and disabling cancellation of in-progress jobs using GitHub Actions and YAML, which improved the reliability of beta releases. Don also enhanced PostgreSQL 16 readiness by updating documentation, testing guidance, and maintenance procedures, integrating the Data Curation Tool into the Data Explorer, and refining configuration practices. His work demonstrated depth in CI/CD, database administration, and documentation, addressing deployment and upgrade risks.

February 2025 (IQSS/dataverse) delivered focused documentation and tooling improvements to strengthen PostgreSQL 16 readiness and data curation workflows. Key enhancements include comprehensive PostgreSQL 16 compatibility updates across documentation, testing guidance, and release notes; integration of the Data Curation Tool into the Data Explorer; and updated maintenance guidance for custom-format dumps requiring VACUUM FULL. Developer guidance was refreshed with PostgreSQL 16 references in the developer guide and Python installer README, plus updated links to tooling where applicable. These efforts decrease upgrade risk, accelerate onboarding, and improve end-to-end data curation capabilities.
