        Hello people! :D
      • ruaok runs away
      • I have Gentlecat, ruaok, alastairp, chrisskye, Gentlecat, zas, chirlu, reosareveok, LordSputnik, Leftmost, bitmap, kartikgupta0909, Quora, armalcolite on my reviews list. Let me know if you think you should be on it and isn't or if you think you should not be on it and am. :)
      • Freso goes first
      • In the last week I have…
      • Been slacking quite a bit (I feel in the Ark: Survival Evolved trap -.-).
      • Got our GSoC slot request ready (deadline was today at meeting start time). Google will tell us how many slots we get on Wednesday and then we'll have ~a week to pick the projects we want and then Google will publicly announce the accepted projects/students on Friday the 22nd of April at 16:00 UTC (that's Friday next week). We're not really allowed to say anything before that. Sorry, prospective students.
      • :)
      • I revised the Bot Code of Conduct, but we'll get to that in a bit.
      • Spent a fair amount of time reading Discourse posts, Twitter, IRC, … - being around and available.
      • Oh, and I wrote up notes from last week's meeting: https://community.metabrainz.org/t/notes-from-m... - got some feedback on IRC about them, which I'll consider when I write up the notes for this meeting a bit later. (The reason for my minimal editing last week is mostly a time/effort thing.)
      • fin. ruaok's run off, so bitmap, go. :)
      • bitmap
        k
      • ruaok smirks from his hiding spot
      • I finished a basic UI for the alternative release editing, now I'm working on the Edit classes so you can actually submit the changes
      • ariZon_a has quit
      • also fixed some beta issues with the new AC editing stuff, still some more I need to get to
      • maybe I'll have something to put on my sandbox for MBS-4501 at the end of the week
      • yeeeargh joined the channel
      • fin. ruaok if he's no longer hiding, or Gentlecat

      • last week I had to show up at the office at 8:30am. effectively in the middle of the night. it was traumatic.
      • but the office then had a new power box installed.
      • and today we had the 300mbit fiber optic installed.
      • still no power, but we have fiber. priorities, right? :)
      • Freso
        🙌
      • ruaok
        I'll let chrisskye get into the details of how and why. some bits are truly comical.
      • Freso
        (Seems like we're *finally* getting fiber in this building, just as I'm heading off to foreign shores. FML.)
      • ruaok
        I did the monthly finances and am happy to report hat we've had the best first quarter ever!
      • I wonder if this is correlated to chrisskye's efforts. :)
      • I did loads of the usual little of this little of that.
      • chrisskye
        sorry I’m late!
      • ruaok
        also got myself embroiled in two conferences in the UK in the near term.
      • Freso
        chrisskye: You're only late if we'd called your name and you weren't around yet ;)
      • ruaok
        so, I was coordinating the travel and other logistics.
      • I have to say, booking a trip to london now takes me about 2 minutes flat.
      • I know exactly where to sit, which flight, which this, which that.
      • kinda odd, but there was this blog post....
      • enough for now. chrisskye, go!
      • chrisskye
        I feel like I was fairly unproductive last week...
      • ruaok
      • chrisskye
        The comedy of trying to coordinate utilities for the new office...not so funny...
      • Gentlecat
        ruaok: is that secretly you?
      • ruaok
        nope.
      • but everyone told me about that blog post when I said I was moving.
      • chrisskye: its so bad its comical, really!
      • chrisskye
        Seems like a lot of calls and meetings with potential supporters got put off...
      • Story? I write to the landlord for the key to the roof...for Movistar.
      • She says we can’t install fibre optic without building management approval...
      • ...won’t give me contacts...tells me to go get a quote from Movistar to present to council...
      • and round and round...
      • ...until she finally send me the contact phone of the tech...which she got because I gave him HER number...
      • vice president seems nice, but told me to call the president...
      • Freso
        ❤️ Spain
      • chrisskye
        Long story short...the tech calls at 9am this morning to say...he’s up on the roof...no worries...
      • ...now I need to beg for the mailbox key!
      • ruaok
        and for the second traumatic experience in as many weeks...
      • chrisskye: there is no mailbox for us.
      • maybe it is one the cubbies that didn't have door?
      • chrisskye
        but there are two holes free...for boxes...no?
      • ruaok
        unclear what they are for.
      • I'll 3d print us a door. with orange filament. :)
      • chrisskye
        Probably the President is hiding the box in his flat...
      • ^that
      • Leftmost plays the Benny Hill theme.
      • Maybe they’re angry we didn’t invite them to the pre-electricity party?
      • Freso
        But you couldn
      • 't even get their contact info... ?
      • outsidecontext joined the channel
      • chrisskye
        Took me a couple days to get contact info...
      • ruaok
        Leftmost: yep, fitting.
      • chrisskye
        ...and that guy passed me off to someone who won’t phone back.
      • Nothing else is new from last week.
      • fin
      • ruaok
        we swear, we're going to do real work, real soon now.
      • chrisskye: pick the next person!
      • chrisskye
        ...well...there is the Russian bugging me all weekend for access to the live feed for his music rating project.
      • gentlecat?
      • Gentlecat
        I didn't do it 👀
      • chrisskye
        your turn
      • Gentlecat
        most of the week I wasn't doing anything metabrainz related, but yesterday decided to finally do some things
      • Freso
        :)
      • chrisskye
        :)
      • Gentlecat
        finished work on MBS-8720
      • CatmanIX joined the channel
      • set up a bot (https://github.com/brainzbot) for jenkins to update build status and ask about builds
      • so now we can build every pull request for MBS
      • and AB, CB
      • I also reviewed some pull requests
      • fin.
      • bitmap thinks we're gonna need a faster build machine
      • alastairp?
      • alastairp
        why does it have to be a github user?
      • I finally released a new version of pymb, after *2* years
      • Gentlecat
        because it needs write access to repos
      • alastairp
        at least now we're only 2 schema releases behind, instead of 3
      • Gentlecat
        and post comments occasionally
      • alastairp
        though that'll change again soon; but I hope to keep on top of changes a bit more this year.
      • The_Catman has quit
      • fin. zas?
      • Freso
        Or maybe not...
      • Leftmost until zas is here.

        I did a bunch of hacking on BookBrainz this week, working with LordSputnik to get a release pushed out with our direct-database branch.
      • With any luck, we'll have a production release this week. It won't have much that's user-facing, but there are a handful of bugfixes that come as a consequence of that work, and some other ones as well.
      • I also got some work done on my schema change ticket (multiple release barcodes). I need to make sure the current code can accommodate the schema changes, but I should have a PR out in a day or two for review.
      • Fin.
      • Freso
        LordSputnik: Here?
      • reosarevok: Go.
      • reosarevok
        I did my actual job!
      • Freso
        :o
      • reosarevok
        Two style discussions closed and applied this week
      • ruaok
        woah. a first!
      • ruaok runs for the red pen
      • reosarevok
        So we now have a specific way of dealing with multi-layer/side mediums
      • And actual guidance for copyright rel dates
      • We also got rid of the [religious music] "artist"
      • Freso
        🙌
      • reosarevok
        Thanks mostly to ListMyCDs.com who entered a few thousand edits to fix that mess
      • Freso
        Well, it's currently in merge. It's not entirely gone yet. :)
      • reosarevok
        (well the merge is still open, but basically)
      • Freso
        :p
      • Link to merge perhaps?
      • reosarevok
        No need, I think it just needs to wait the 2 days now :p
      • This week I'll be opening another easy and hard discussion
      • Haven't decided which ones yet
      • So we'll see :)
      • Other than that, the usual support stuff
      • Freso
        Engineers for events!
      • LordSputnik is here
      • reosarevok
        And I think that's about it
      • I've now started my internship which will last a couple months but I should have more time there than I had when in school
      • So that's good :)
      • LordSputnik: go
      • LordSputnik
        Worked with Leftmost on the next release, which is going well. One thing to finish off tonight hopefully, then lots of testing
      • Freso
        (I have zas, chirlu, kartikgupta0909, Quora left on my list.)
      • LordSputnik
        I also learnt to use InfluxDB and Grafana, which may or may not be useful here in future ;)
      • ariZon_a has quit
      • And I played around with ES6 modules, learnt a bit about Flux and React best practices, and made some improvements to BB following that
      • That's it from me :)
      • zas: go :D
      • Or chirlu, if zas is not about
      • kartikgupta0909
        Freso: I have started working on AB - 63
      • zas
        I tried to make Letsencrypt work with our gateways setup
      • kartikgupta0909
        alastairp has already made a basic table of the public datasets
      • Freso
        kartikgupta0909: You'll be called in a bit :)
      • kartikgupta0909
        oh okay. I ll wait for my turn :)
      • zas
        but it is overcomplicated to get a proper setup with chef and HA in the way (at least for now)
      • apart that, i supervised few PRs for Picard and userscripts, did the usual maintainance on servers (mostly upgrades, cleanup)
      • nothing that exciting,but i started to look at our requests / usage, which is abnormally high since sometimes
