        I think we decided early that we don't want to do that
      • CallerNo6
        oh, if we install that extension, then http://tickets.musicbrainz.org/browse/MBS-8374 is fixed too.
      • reosarevok
        We'd have to be careful that people don't spam around by redirecting to their crappy pages but
      • CallerNo6
        yeah, it might cause more problems than it solves.
      • Gentlecat
        maybe we can just add a redirect manually in MBS, but that might be ugly
      • and replace wiki content with a message that it has been moved
      • reosarevok
        And hmm. It feels to me like if we want foreigners who use our data to donate too we might want to translate MeB at some point
      • But dunno :)
      • Gentlecat
        I'm not saying that it's a bad idea
      • makes sense if musicbrainz is going to finally get some localization
      • reosarevok
        I'll add a ticket but let's not work on it for now
      • And we can discuss it in the meeting at some point
      • TOPIC: MetaBrainz Community and Development channel | MusicBrainz non-development: #musicbrainz | MeB meeting agenda: Reviews, CAA-84 requirements (reo), MEB-44 desirability (reo)

      • bitmap appears from somewhere above iowa
      • CallerNo6
        that was a weird suporpower to choose.
      • Gentlecat
        :D
      • bitmap
        CallerNo6: lol
      • Gentlecat
        it's probably easier to deploy things into clouds from there
      • that's how it works, right?
      • CallerNo6
        lol
      • zas
        bitmap: cloud networking ? ;)
      • samphippen has quit
      • bitmap
        yes, but the internet is very laggy up here, so there must not be enough cloud coverage today

        hello there
      • is that the rigth place to discuss what "seems" to be bugs?

      • jesus2099

      • lefreut

        bitmap: still online?
      • bitmap
        Gentlecat: connection is spotty, but I seem to be now :)
      • Gentlecat
        :)
      • CatQuest has quit
      • so if this filtering by subscriptions is based on artists, does it actually make sense there?
      • if everything is linked to VA
      • CatQuest joined the channel
      • bitmap
        oh, right. I guess it doesn't make sense for that report
      • the 'random artist credited as VA' one would
      • Gentlecat
        yeah, I still need to look at other reports proposed in that ticket
      • legoktm
        Gentlecat: yes, it's possible to redirect to an external site from the wiki (without an extension too!), we just need to add the website to the interwiki database
      • ruaok joined the channel
      • Gentlecat
        legoktm: is that something one of admins needs to do?
      • CallerNo6
        legoktm: oh, cool, I need to read up on that.
      • Gentlecat

        still didn't receive a shirt for completing gsoc 2015 :(
      • most important reward
      • Leftmost buys a t-shirt, writes "Gentlecat Summer of Code 2015" on it, and mails it off.
      • that works
      • legoktm
        :/
      • did you ask google? I got mine like 2 months ago
      • Gentlecat
        guess it's a good time ask someone
      • JonnyJD has quit

      • ruaok
        Gentlecat: what t-shirt size do you need?
      • I'll see about snagging you one.
      • Gentlecat
        Small, of course
      • alastairp
        hi ruaok
      • ruaok
        hey
      • diana_olhovik has quit
      • zas
        ruaok: nomo is short on disk space, is there a mean to extend it ?
      • Lotheric has quit
      • ruaok
        yes, though it involves down-time.
      • 1) make a snap shot.
      • 2) turn off VM
      • 3) spin up new VM with snapshop with newer size.
      • 4) restart.
      • I guess now would be a good time to give you access to the google cloud hosting.

        ruaok: so, what’s the plan today?
      • ruaok has no plan
      • I didn’t sleep well on the plane, so I’m a bit confused as to everything regarding the time
      • where are you?
      • Leftmost still hasn't adapted either.
      • ruaok
        Alviso.
      • alastairp
        ah, cool
      • I’m trying to work out if I can get the shuttle from the Aloft to the Sheraton
      • because I’m near there today
      • but I don’t know if they’ll only let people with a badge on (my badge will be at the Sheraton…)

      • ah, there’s a bus that goes directly between my hotel and the sheraton (y)
      • I might just go there then
      • hang out in the lobby (woo)
      • Leftmost
        alastairp, if you need any help with the language, feel free to ask. :-P
      • alastairp
        awesome, thanks
      • I might need to translate some things
      • at breakfast they had these things with a label “Biscuits” next to them
      • but they were definitely not biscuits
      • reosarevok
        Gentlecat: I'd leave the subscription filtering there for consistency - if you're subscribed to VA it shows all, if not nothing! :D
      • But yeah, it's not particularly useful
      • So if you'd rather not offer it at all that's probably fine :)
      • Leftmost
        Ahh, yes. Those are a sort of savory quick bread.
      • Gentlecat
        the thing is, I'm not sure if it's actually working
      • Leftmost
        Definitely not to be confused.
      • reosarevok
        Heh
      • Yeah dunno. If bitmap says you can skip it then skip it :p
      • Gentlecat
        when I turn on filtering, it just shows me everything
      • and I'm pretty sure that I'm not subscribed to VA
      • reosarevok
        Hmm
      • Gentlecat
        anyway, I'm digging into this right now
      • reosarevok
        That's a bit strange
      • Ok!
      • (gah I wish we had "this seems ok" report filtering too)
      • (one day!)
      • Gentlecat
        what kind of filtering is that?
      • alastairp
        man, the internet is all different since I got here
      • I can watch video online, gmail lets me send money to people, I see different things on search
      • reosarevok
        (the stuff we mentioned at the summit where one or more users say "this is fine and there's nothing to check" and then it's hidden from the report)
      • zas
        ruaok: yes, please give me the access before nomo runs out of space ... ;)
      • ruaok
        ok, I'll do that now.
      • darwin
        does listenbrainz do spotify playlisting yet?
      • Gentlecat
        reosarevok: ah, right
      • darwin
        that is my MVP
      • ruaok
        pm me your gmail addy again.
      • darwin: no. :(
      • reosarevok
        Playlisting as in?
      • "Create a playlist of my top listened tracks?"
      • darwin
        or "create a playlist of recommendations" or etc.
      • last.fm has 3 "mixes" you can listen to via spotify
      • my ideal would be something like that, or former multi-artist radio, or etc.
      • also the last.fm stuff barely works
      • ruaok
        grrr. the US is really hostile to visitors in so many ways. including sim cards.
      • darwin
        and plays you random songs from.. youtube... which... sucks
      • alastairp
        ahhh, simcard
      • ruaok: are you planning on getting one? as I understand, tmobile does good prepaid now?
      • ruaok
        they are the ones who just ripped me off for $50.
      • not keen on giving them more of my money.
      • kuno
        I haven't had any trouble with US t-mobile prepaid
      • alastairp
        ugh. $50
      • ruaok
        kuno: as long as you give them more money every 30 days.
      • alastairp
        for 5 days, thats not worth it
      • ruaok
        I want a SIM that I can re-use everytime I come back.
