        but that everything will be arranged and managed from the mothership.
      • 2016-03-21 08149, 2016

      • ruaok
        including paying taxes. which the mothership doesn't do, so thats pretty cool.

        And, today I confirmed with an accountant that there should be no headaches with the Spanish tax authorities at all.
      • 2016-03-21 08109, 2016

      • ruaok
        we also got the keys to the office, which is also fun, but rather useless.

        we first need a taxpayer id number (CIF). then we can give that to the bank. the bank will take eons to decide if they will allow us to open a bank account.
      • 2016-03-21 08151, 2016

      • chrisskye
        ...unless we hire Spanish employees, in which case we will have to do paperwork!
      • 2016-03-21 08131, 2016

      • ruaok
        once we have the bank account, we can get power, water, internet for the office. until then, we have a useless office space.

        I did invite a few people over for beers in candlelight. I thought there was a chance it might backfire, but in the end a pile of us sat i the dark til near midnight.

        I had to double check myself too.
      • 2016-03-21 08152, 2016

      • ruaok
        there were other things I did last week too, conference calls, plan my trip to london, etc.
      • 2016-03-21 08119, 2016

      • ruaok
        I also responded to a lawyer on discourse and it seems we have a new ally now. I'm going to skype with him tomorrrow.
      • 2016-03-21 08142, 2016

      • ruaok
        oh and I did the schema change announcement too.
      • 2016-03-21 08156, 2016

      • ruaok
        so, productive week, but didn't seem all that productive with the meetings and all.
      • 2016-03-21 08101, 2016

        ok, chrisskye next!

        Other than that it is the usual back and forth emails with commercial users.

        I will look at the privacy policy in my spare time. We need to separate legal, practical and community issues. I believe in the community ethics and then the practical, and avoid legal to whatever extent we can while not being negligent.

        let's say they tell us secret X. then completely independently someone in our community invents X as well and sends up a PR. we accept it and ship it.

        I opened another style discussion on discourse (no poll this time, just talk, so it's been slower, but still some useful feedback)

        Semi-relatedly, it seems like I'm going to be doing BBC stuff at least for a few more months, but it'll be only one or two days a week which shouldn't interfere much with anything :) Right now it's kinda pointless from a MB POV but I'm hoping for more relevant bits of work in the future too
      • 2016-03-21 08147, 2016

      • reosarevok
        Once the first style thread is done (pretty soon) I'll open one of the more thorny issues and see how that goes

        Basically we are losing mbids
      • 2016-03-21 08153, 2016

      • reosarevok
        I see no problem with us waiting at least the same as we would with any other recently-emptied entity
      • 2016-03-21 08157, 2016

      • bitmap
        that's tricky because the deletion is performed by a trigger on the track table
      • 2016-03-21 08103, 2016

      • reosarevok
        (which is 24 or 48 h, right?)
      • 2016-03-21 08159, 2016

      • bitmap
        if there's a delay then the trigger won't run again
      • 2016-03-21 08126, 2016

      • reosarevok
        Hmm
      • 2016-03-21 08138, 2016

      • bitmap
        we should probably remove the trigger and do this in a daily cleanup script, I guess
      • 2016-03-21 08142, 2016

      • reosarevok
        Are the recordings that do *not* get removed (because they have a rel or whatever) marked in any way?
      • 2016-03-21 08154, 2016

      • reosarevok
        (they seem like decent candidates for a report)
      • 2016-03-21 08100, 2016

      • ruaok
        how often are we losing MBIDs because of this. more like an edge case, yes?
      • 2016-03-21 08103, 2016

      • bitmap
        sure, we can determine if they're deletable or have an 'Add recording' edit
      • 2016-03-21 08158, 2016

      • bitmap
        not sure about a report though, it might be really slow across the whole recording table

        It's a fairly edge-casey thing
      • 2016-03-21 08138, 2016

      • bitmap
        I guess that's the problem with a cleanup script too. we'll just have to see how it performs
      • 2016-03-21 08144, 2016

      • zas
        I think too
      • 2016-03-21 08146, 2016

      • reosarevok
        But if there's a cleanish solution, that'd be good

        But basically, I'd love to see more tickets tagged as House that I can look into. I imagine there's not only 3 or 4, and that there must be quite a bit of low hanging fruit around

        So if anyone is bored at some point, they could go look for easy stuff :p

      • reosarevok is pretty bad at guessing what's easy despite having been around for long enough that he should know better :/

        Oh. bitmap: how does pagination work exactly? I am wondering about making work parts collapsible

        I guess it's not possible to do something like "load 50/100/whatever parent works", it'd have to be "load X works and then show the parent ones"

        if you want more of that, guestroom and office in BCN makes for a potent combo. esp when the polar vortex comes calling.
