I think the most critical things I did last week involved playing bike courier for a dodgy metadata outfit in california.
2016-03-14 07448, 2016

they were too cheap to pay for a courier so I jumped in.

Paypal broke the format in which you download the transactions, so I've been fighting with that.

lots of crazy paperwork stuff that needs doing, none of it is fun.
2016-03-14 07405, 2016

but, as chrisskye said, we have keys to the office, including having to take the pictures of keys down from twitter.

while there is a lot of not-fun stuff happening right now, I have to say that things in metabrainz land look very different from what they did look like 9 months ago.
2016-03-14 07400, 2016
CatQuest also wants to know
2016-03-14 07417, 2016

Very much so. :)
2016-03-14 07427, 2016

amazing that.
2016-03-14 07451, 2016

Yeah, what specific GSoC project within MBS though?
2016-03-14 07437, 2016
alastairp
But we'll have to test them ourselves too, and check for bugs, so we won't be able to merge them immediately
2016-03-14 07441, 2016
chirlu hasn’t seen any proposals.

I've been looking at the tickets for the upcoming schema change.
is the plan for bitmap to take some? is there a plan?
2016-03-14 07422, 2016
ruaok
bitmap: great, please claim it.
2016-03-14 07441, 2016
ruaok
ideally, I would like to see a ticket or two be done by Gentlecat.
2016-03-14 07445, 2016
Gentlecat
I can try to work on some that are more easier, need to take a closer look
2016-03-14 07450, 2016
bitmap
most of those are ones chirlu wanted to look it, but I didn't assign them in case he got busy
2016-03-14 07450, 2016
ruaok
bitmap, chirlu: got any suggestions for some?
2016-03-14 07404, 2016
Gentlecat
I have another list, and I don't think it includes any from schema change
2016-03-14 07416, 2016
ruaok
yeah, this is only schema change stuff.
2016-03-14 07429, 2016
bitmap
I'd love for Gentlecat to look at some of the smaller ones
2016-03-14 07450, 2016
ruaok
bitmap: I wonder about 8805. it isn't a schema change ticket per-se. it just needs to be done before the release.
2016-03-14 07406, 2016
bitmap
true
2016-03-14 07409, 2016

I'm inclined to move it out of the fix version for now.
2016-03-14 07412, 2016

did you see my question earlier?
2016-03-14 07422, 2016

2016-03-14 07444, 2016

chirlu: there are a number of tickets that don't read very actionable.
2016-03-14 07457, 2016
ruaok
"we should" or "maybe we can" kinda stuff
2016-03-14 07458, 2016
chirlu
The “consider” tickets?
2016-03-14 07409, 2016
ruaok
yea.
2016-03-14 07433, 2016
ruaok
it would be ideal to decide the tickets either way and update them to reflect that decision.
2016-03-14 07445, 2016
Freso hopes chirlu didn't disappear on us again :/
2016-03-14 07412, 2016
ruaok
the issue I am facing is writing a blog post detailed what we are going to do, but it is unclear from the tickets what that is.
2016-03-14 07412, 2016
Freso
Oh, he's right there.
2016-03-14 07421, 2016
ruaok
which makes writing said blog post quite hard.
2016-03-14 07428, 2016
Freso confused by chirlu and bitmap having the same colour in his client
2016-03-14 07442, 2016

any chance you could review the tickets in the next 24 hours?
2016-03-14 07455, 2016

Well, most of them are mostly index issues that shouldn’t really affect people.
2016-03-14 07420, 2016

*s
2016-03-14 07457, 2016

I might add one more small ticket related to area_containment. but I'll post comments on all the ones I'm assigned to today
2016-03-14 07419, 2016

but, really try to work up the tickets in the next 24 hours so that I can go write my blog post about them.

any tickets left unassigned at the end of tomorrow, will be removed from the fix version and will have to wait until autumn.

we're getting our ideas page updated and into shape since the application phase started today.

our goal is to get one student on each of the participating projects.
2016-03-14 07432, 2016
ruaok
whatever left over slots we have, will be dedicated to the best proposals.
2016-03-14 07447, 2016

our goal is to have 6 slots, but we'll ask for more, given out lengthy ideas page.

*our
2016-03-14 07444, 2016

also, given that the time to submit proposals is quite short now, we should make sure that qualified students showing promise submit *something* before the deadline. proposals can be edited after the deadline to submit proposals is over. THIS IS IMPORTANT!
2016-03-14 07405, 2016
ruaok
so, the key for us in the next week or so is to identify students and to ensure they get proposals in, even if they are not perfect.

2016-03-14 07412, 2016

we should let people know that LB and AB are impacted and that if people want to work with MetaBrainz that they should consider MB, CB or even BB.
2016-03-14 07422, 2016

though I think BB is doing fine now.
