that's hilarious, the A/C unit they used in that picture looks like the same model as I have :/

it's actually nice and quiet, when not broken :)

er, well, maybe it's just they used the same metal body for x years, or whatever. but it looks the same.

Hi. I am new to Open Source and wanted to start contributing to MusicBrainz. Could someone guide as to how to start? How to install the development environment? ANd if there are any good first bugs, that I can target to learn more about the code base?
2016-03-01 06141, 2016
JesseW
Welcome!
2016-03-01 06120, 2016
JesseW
ashutoshsaboo: Probably a good initial step for contributing to MusicBrainz is to contribute some musical data first. What genres/areas of music are you interested in? You could try looking up some artists you are familiar with, and add missing data about them (e.g. homepages, social media accounts, birth & death dates, etc.)
2016-03-01 06145, 2016
JesseW
And/or add missing albums, or (authorized) online videos, etc.
2016-03-01 06148, 2016
ashutoshsaboo
@JesseW : Ah. That's nice. Is there any link where I could go and do that?
2016-03-01 06130, 2016
JesseW
Well, start from https://musicbrainz.org and let us know where you get stuck! That in itself is very useful.
2016-03-01 06111, 2016
ashutoshsaboo
Yes, I'll definitely have a look at this website. Thanks! :)
2016-03-01 06116, 2016
ashutoshsaboo
And also, simultaneously, how should I set up my development environment? I want to contribute something related to python. If there are some other languages involved, then I am definitely ready to lean them up, and contribute using those languages as well. So, Could you help me out on this?
2016-03-01 06117, 2016
JesseW
(and you likely *will* get stuck -- we certainly don't have an ideal set of documentation yet)
Other people can speak more usefully about what languages are used -- I know JavaScript (incl Node.JS) is being used for a lot of the newer projects. I think BookBrainz is mostly in Python (although I may be wrong about that). MusicBrainz itself is mostly in Perl (although we're moving away from that, very slowly).
2016-03-01 06157, 2016
ashutoshsaboo
Once I install the musicbrainz server, then does that install your new projects like - AcousticBrainz automatically on my system as well?
2016-03-01 06127, 2016
JesseW
no, they are separate. I know less about how to get the other projects set up.
2016-03-01 06141, 2016
JesseW
(I've pretty much only contributed to MusicBrainz coding, myself)
2016-03-01 06150, 2016
ashutoshsaboo
Hmm! I see. Is there any link where I could go to learn about setting up these other projects as well?
2016-03-01 06100, 2016
JesseW
I'm heading to sleep now -- but other people (many more knowledgeable than me) will likely also pipe up eventually. You can read the logs of this channel here: http://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/brainzbot/metabrai…
I can't find any link mentioned online, as to how to set up AcousticBrainz, or MusicBrainz on linux, without a VM? Any help would be appreciated! :)

Hi , I am Bhagyashree(Bee). I am interested in contributing to MusicBrainz for GSoC. My previous work has been in Data Analytics - including Machine Learning,social media analytics and NLP and I can program well in Python , C++

I was hoping someone could help me get started - I like multiple project ideas currently including AcousticBrainz, social media features for MusicBrainz and statistics
if you want to know more about the projects, I'd suggest just taking a look around the websites :)
2016-03-01 06123, 2016

I've got a couple more ideas to add for BookBrainz, which'll hopefully be added today
2016-03-01 06151, 2016

LordSputnik : I see. I was hoping you could provide me with a link to the API documentation for fetching AcousticBrainz/ListenBrainz data ?
2016-03-01 06106, 2016

Also, do you have any suggestions for the initial contributions ? I am interested in the data analytics projects rather than development and I was hoping to do some basic data analytics with the data as an initial contribution
2016-03-01 06115, 2016

if you can't, you're not qualified to be participating in GSoC.

until your application is accepted, you should be wooing us with your amazing skills. you should NOT be asking us for help.
They do say they "prefer Nordic countries" but we also "prefer performers as recording artists for classical" and it only happens half of the time, so :p

you either owe nothing, or are responsible for the entire european economic downturn, but you won't know until you ask
