but then you should als oallow for people to *change* their username
see CallerNo6's dilemma earlier also for example.
I'd also agree with not allowing completely differnt names too
but i'd also think it's fine with *small* variation, ie : "CatQuest" vs "CatCat" but not "Barnaby McCattaracht"
(not that i'm callig myself that)
CatQuest notes that on jira he is ZaphodBeeblebrox (which could be changed i wish)
reosarevok
Well, my understanding of that is that we don't generally allow username changes for the same reason I would enforce the same username in Discourse: because it's harder to know who everyone is if they change username at will. But I'm not even sure tbh, maybe it's just because a username change feature never got written...
CatQuest
both i'd assume
but also.. I agree.
people should change their name 3 times a month (lol me saying this)
buuuut..
people change
people use names
and people associate themselves with different names over time
people are , as always, the problem
sorry that ist sentence should say "people SHOULDN'T change their name 3 times a month (lol me saying this)"

Gentlecat: flask restart from osx host works. I'm trying gulp now
CatQuest
it should be like.. mandatoryally keep it for atleast 5 years or something, and if you *do* canhe it, there should be a ledger showign all past usernames you had, and there should be an icon or stm next to your username which means "you've changed name recently"
ie, ebay does this
namechange on the while metabrainz domainsites should be something you cmiit to, not a fashion statment
whole*
OR allow *small* variation
or a *small* pool of alternate names. like Leftmost -> Leftmost cat

For internal Brainz sites, we could get away with not storing username/email in domain-specific user tables, and instead store user id. That would make central name/email changes no harder than it is now
Leftmost
It would also require storing all basic user information in shorter-term cache.
LordSputnik
But you get that information in the OAuth response anyway
ruaok
Sigh. Vueling. Late again. Some things never change, right alastairp ?
alastairp
you're technically not late until 4h after the scheduled time :D
however, it's still the morning. No idea how they're late already
LordSputnik
Leftmost: the /userinfo gets JSON basic user data for the currently auth'd user on MB
(/oauth2/userinfo, that is)
Leftmost
Right, you get it in the OAuth response, but then you need to cache it for display, at least until the next OAuth call.
Not saying this is a dealbreaker, just pointing it out.
ruaok
alastairp: I have no idea how they manage. But to Brussels it's bad airline or bad airline. Take a pick!

By the way, LordSputnik, we may want to seek out a new time for Monday meetings.

CatQuest: You were not supposed to have registered yet. I did just delete one user because I couldn't figure out what their username on MB was. As reosarevok said, it's supposed to be a continuation of MB, so we'll want usernames to be the same. I'd be happy to support a request from you to change your username on MB (and subsequently on comm.meb.o), even if I can't actually do the change myself (yet?).
Gentlecat doesn't know how to do playlists
Gentlecat creates "Good stuff (2016)"
If you (or Gentlecat) had registered now, you would not have been able to change your Discourse username in the first place.
that looks like it could avoid this confusion, since there would be no separate account creation
Freso
luks: I think we discarded that since that'd required custom-coding on MBS.
D4RK-PH0ENiX has quit
But yeah, I do think I would personally prefer that.
I guess I'll bring it up tonight if no one else wants to talk about it now.

I still can’t get it working here...
Gentlecat
in about 20 min? just started to eat
I removed it after testing
alastairp
sure
LordSputnik
Leftmost: is it a bad time for you now?
Leftmost
Yeah, I won't be able to make it at the current time any longer.

Freso: I think we should have a new “Discourse” component in JIRA. That way, we have a clear view of which old-forums ticket still need to be handled (either wontfixed if no longer relevant, moved to Discourse if still relevant, or fixed in whatever form the forums are archived).
jesus2099
yes that↗

Freso, the two community logos? svg and png?

Can you make half an hour later today?

I can make today at the usual meeting time, but starting next week I won't.
