Where do you see this happening exactly?

For the meeting later, I have these people on my list of people to do reviews: Freso, ruaok, bitmap, Gentlecat, chrisskye, reosarevok, alastairp, zas, chirlu, Leftmost, LordSputnik, stanislas, CJ_, kartikgupta0909, armalcolite, QuoraUK, rahulr

Freso, No news from me, unfortunately.

We will go in that order and have at most 3 minutes per person, so please be ready beforehand.

If anyone wants off or on that list, let me know, preferably before the meeting.

CJ_: Noted.

Freso, no news from me either sadly, too much school work :/

QuoraUK: Roger.

Meeting is in ~1 hour?

ok

gcilou: Yep.

An hour and five-ish.

ok! I've been confused since daylight savings :\

Freso: add me to the list.. We need to share what we did in this week wrt MB, right?

adesh: Yep, and will do. :)

Thanks :D

Project musicbrainz-server_master build #364: FAILURE in 18 min: https://ci.metabrainz.org/job/musicbrainz-serve...

Got it.

gcilou: There is a short period when the US has already switched to DST and Europe not yet, but after those two or three weeks, it’s the same as before.

gcilou: it's documented on https://musicbrainz.org/doc/Development_Chat#Re... :/

List/order for the meeting reviews is now as follows: Freso, ruaok, bitmap, Gentlecat, chrisskye, reosarevok, alastairp, zas, chirlu, Leftmost, LordSputnik, stanislas, kartikgupta0909, armalcolite, rahulr, adesh

I'll repeat again once the meeting starts. I'll try and find some food now. :)

alastairp: would be nice if you could look at https://tickets.musicbrainz.org/browse/AB-120 and AB-121 and give some feedback

11 minutes.

it's the Fresos countdooooown

great thanks guys!

gcilou, ooh, violin. Very nice.

:)

lol I'm not so good at fiddle, mostly just violin ;)

LordSputnik, good that you didn't say that. We'd think you're weird.

not like we don't already

:(

LordSputnik, look at the other people here. We're all weirdos. <3

Leftmost: What? There are no more languages left, so now you're learning all the instruments?

Yep.

I'd actually wanted to learn fiddle for a very long time. Then it turned out that my (Norwegian) great-great-grandfather played and my grandmother still had his fiddle.

So she gave it to me.

LordSputnik: I know that Leftmost also wants to learn to whack the goat properly.

<BANG>

Darn. 4 seconds late.

Freso: failure

:P

I'm losing my grip.

Yeah. Sorry. Meeting cancelled. I'll get better for next week. D:

Not really.

Freso, ruaok, bitmap, Gentlecat, chrisskye, reosarevok, alastairp, zas, chirlu, Leftmost, LordSputnik, stanislas, kartikgupta0909, armalcolite, rahulr, adesh is the list and order of people for reviewing.

At most 3 minutes (but preferably less!) per person.

I'll start out:

In the last week I have…

Written up notes from last week's meeting: https://community.metabrainz.org/t/notes-from-m...

Did some GSoC administration, as we got our slots. Only 4 more days until everyone knows! :D

I went to a festival to perform over the weekend ( https://musicbrainz.org/event/dc6ab123-d724-467... ), but I also still managed to do some Jira administration:

Jira is now called "MetaBrainz JIRA" (instead of "MusicBrainz JIRA"), MBH is now "MetaBrainz Hosting" instead of "MusicBrainz …", and the Jira e-mails getting sent our now use https:// links.

Oh, and almost all the projects have actual MetaBrainz icons now, with AREQ and INST using gcilou's new icons. ( https://github.com/metabrainz/musicbrainz-serve... )

And I spent a fair amount of time reading Discourse posts, Twitter, IRC, … - being around and available.

ruaok's up next.

"""

Last week I:

- Chatted with Google about BigQuery.

- Wolfram Alpha about monies with Chrissky.

- Had lunch with BMAT and Chrisky trying to iron out a misunderstanding.

- We went to the bank to setup the bank account.

- Lots of office stuff, including meeting electricians

- On Thursday I went to Ikea and bought a bare minimum starting set of furniture and kitchen supplies for the office.

- Met with our Artist to discuss the murals for the office.

bitmap: Go.

jeez that was fast

Super sonic Freso....

Freso: request for more time to read before moving on :P

bitmap: Okay. Take a breath. :)

:D

I worked on the editing UI for alternative releases/tracklists all week

Freso: I guess we should rename "MusicBrainz JIRA" in our Alpha banner then?

LordSputnik: And move to use the new logos too. ;)

not much to show still, ironing out all the bugs and implementing the medium editing stuff

fin

bitmap: Still, exciting. :) Will it be testable somewhere soonish?

Freso: new logos? Not the ones in metabrainz/metabrainz-logos/final-logos?

LordSputnik: No, those ones.

if it's not within two weeks then that's a sign of trouble

LordSputnik: The current Jira banner is using the old brain logo.

:)

bitmap: :)

Gentlecat: Go.

Freso: oh, I was referring to the one on https://bookbrainz.org/ which has no logo

LordSputnik: Oh.

LordSputnik: Yeah, sure. :D

finished some that were incomplete and abandoned, closed some

biggest is probably builds for static files, similar to MBS and AB

then I implemented a fix for MEB-34 💰

and upgraded sentry

that's it. nothing else

chrisskye: Go.

I can’t recall if we mentioned it last week, but Monday was a conference call with Dart music.

Gentlecat: Still, it's a worthwhile endeavour getting cleaned out in old PRs. :)

chrisskye: I don't think it was.

nobody else is going to do that, so

They are building a database, that started with a focus on Classical music. They’d like to share/trade. ruaok was reviewed some stuff they sent us.

Cool.

We had lunch with BMAT. Determined that they aren’t using the database that much, because they need to use the label’s own databases.

Legal reasons. But, interesting to talk to them.

We also spoke with WolframAlpha.

🙌

I believe they agreed to give us a retroactive support payment, and some support going forward.

Neat.

AND, to build something to help spot commercial users of our database and notify us, maybe.

And time's up. :)

We need to get their logo up.

reosarevok: Go.

The rest was trying to get Electricity!

I opened a style discussion. That was about it. A hard one too!

https://metabrainz.org/supporters probably needs some updates

reosarevok: what on?

Box sets and 2-in-1s

I'm on the phone, can anyone get the link?

But yeah, 2-on-1 comp

chrisskye: sometimes it's easy to spot websites using MB data by search for the musicbrainz test artist :-)

alastairp: Go.

Or not.

chirlu: Go.

Mineo: yeah. Wolfram is interesting though....serious tech... ;)

Uh, I thought zas was first?

Oh, sorry.

zas: Go.

OK

Anyway, nothing visible, but I have to finish some schema change things. Fin.

i installed and updated many SSL certs, and did a lot of clean up related to this

then i did a lot of cleanup in our gateway nginx confs

on Friday, with ruaok, we went through MBH tickets, and closed obsolete ones, plus fixed few

usual maintainance, server updates, nagios rules fixes

i also fixed a very annoying issue related to corosync and dns

it was responsible of very bad things after any corosync package upgrade

Leftmost: Go.

Worked with LordSputnik to get the April BookBrainz release debugged and out the door. It's out in prod now and we've found more bugs (surprise), so I'll try to get those fixed up this evening.

I've also been digging through the current MBS code trying to find all of the places we fetch barcodes from the database to get those fixed up for my schema change ticket.

I will probably end up stealing a bunch of someone's time to make sure I get everything.
