      • ruaok
        thx
      • bitmap
        fixed 4 or 5 small MBS tickets
      • edit classes are still buggy. not much news there
      • ruaok
        heh
      • bitmap
        looked into docker and started playing with separating mbs services into different containers
      • zas
        ^^good
      • ruaok
        have you looked at musicbrainz-docker, bitmap?
      • bitmap
        yeah, I have
      • ruaok
        I've gotten it to work.
      • bitmap
        it's a good start but our production setup is quite different
      • ruaok
        yeah. at least it does the tedious stuff of the perl modules and the like
      • bitmap
        I'll probably be copying bits from it though
      • ruaok
        great.
      • bitmap
        hope to make more progress on that this week, anyway.
      • fin
      • ruaok
        so, going forward, I'd like to you to do less MBS related work.
      • mostly just fire-fighting.
      • and put nearly all your energy into docker work.
      • bitmap
        okay
      • ruaok
        later this week we should have a docker meeting where we do planning for how to best do all this.
      • zas
        great
      • bitmap
        could probably use short break from MBS stuff anyway
      • ruaok
        I'm working on dockerizing LB -- once I get that to work, I'll be up to speed and then we can do an overall plan of attack.
      • once we have that we can pick bits and bobs and start building them.
      • then I think we should get instances on google cloud and try things out.
      • but, more on that later in the week.
      • in general more on this during my review.
      • next: reosarevok, virtual freso, armalcolite, kartikgupta0909, hellska, chirlu, Leftmost, LordSputnik, QuoraUK, ruaok, rahulr
      • go reosarevok
      • reosarevok
        Support and editing, mainly. And a lot of football watching.
      • diana_olhovyk has quit
      • We've had tons of questions about the FreeDB gateway, hence that topic for later
      • That's mostly it
      • ruaok
        I'm all in favor of moving it to Google cloud.
      • its a good candidate.
      • freso: go

      • ruaok
        thanks freso!
      • armalcolite: go!
      • armalcolite
        hi!
      • this week was spent in
      • finishing the track.scrobble & token fetching part
      • replaced some code with concise code and some PEP8 + pylint fixes
      • ruaok
        I'm hoping you can help me test the docker stuff once I get it going.
      • armalcolite
        documented some functions and separated common code in native_API and compat_API into separate api_tools.py
      • ruaok: would love to :D
      • and finished with generic XML -> JSON using the lastfm rules.
      • fin.

        I worked on the client being able to make request to the server for pending jobs for a user. Wrote the server and client code for that. This week I ll be evaluating different formats for data storage in AB and deciding on the best one and also need to solve some issues with gaia PPA upload.
      • fin :)
      • Gentlecat
        I made some updates to the way users are displayed on MeB.org, deployed a bunch of stuff, added new supporters. Reviewed plenty of GSoC stuff and answered some questions. And reviewed MBS PRs.
      • fin, ofc
      • ruaok
        nice cutting into line, Gentlecat. :)
      • next: hellska, chirlu, Leftmost, LordSputnik, QuoraUK, ruaok, rahulr
      • hellska
        Hi :)
      • ruaok
        go hellska
      • Gentlecat
        you didn't even have me there
      • ruaok
        I asked, you didn't respond.
      • CatQuest
        ...
      • hellska
        I worked on the AB server API endpoitn to accept submission without MBIDs
      • Also wrote the client part for the submission CLI to test the communication
      • Yesterday started to modify the schema to identify support the dataset items submission
      • fin
      • ruaok
        next: chirlu, Leftmost, LordSputnik, QuoraUK, ruaok, rahulr
      • chirlu: ?
      • chirlu
        Well, I did some somewhat unsuccessful work on reviving the VM at OSUOSL.
      • But I guess that’s a later topic, so fin.
      • ruaok
        k
      • Leftmost: LordSputnik?
      • Leftmost
        Here.
      • ruaok
        go
      • Leftmost
        I had some technical difficulties over the past couple weeks, but I've resolved them and will be more active. I've scheduled some time to speak with Quora about the status of his project.
      • I also have some upgrades to rika in my sights and some work on BB.
      • Fin.
      • ruaok
        LordSputnik: ?
      • is rika even up?
      • I think we should move rika to google cloud and be done with it.
      • Leftmost
        I'm fine with that.
      • ruaok
        QuoraUK: go
      • QuoraUK
        Hi!
      • Leftmost
        I have no attachment to the box itself and I'm hoping to move it to something dockery.
      • ruaok
        Leftmost: let me know when you want a VM for it.
      • Leftmost
        Will do, thanks.
      • ruaok
        rika never worked very well and was just a pain all around.
      • QuoraUK
        I integrated my achievement system into the profile pages, and allow users to select which badges and titles they want to display on their page, also got a bunch of new achievements added to the system that all work properly :D
      • Leftmost does not disagree.
      • Got some sql stuff merged into master, and arranged new meeting times with Leftmost and LordSputnik for the coming weeks
      • fin.
      • ruaok
        so, zas already covered what happened last week.
      • zas
        covered... not really
      • ruaok
        traumatic. loss of sleep. it was utterly fucking painful.
      • I could really do without ever doing that again.
      • zas
        ^^this
      • ruaok
        turns out all of this was digital west's problem.
      • but they never said what they fixed and they just didn't take us seriously.
      • yea, I get that we've been having a lot of problems, but we never asked them for help.
      • when we did ask for help, they mostly ignored us.
      • it wasn't until I emailed the CEO that we finally got some attention.
      • the other thing that this underscored is that we're massively living on borrowed time.
      • our machines are brittle and ready to die.
      • we knew that, but it is far worse that I expected.
      • so, rather than spend more weeks hunting down every little aspect of what might be going wrong, we're going to go all hands on deck to dockerize everything and then move to NewHost
      • zas
        to be honest it wasn't only DWNI fault, we did few errors causing even more chaos, but to be short: it was a very frustrating mess.
      • ruaok
        as. soon. as. possible.
      • yeah.
      • the kicker? the guy we hired to do the switch replacement became ill in the middle of it.
      • today is his first day back at work.
      • things went so bad, it even broke murphy's law.
      • zas
        Murphy's law²
      • CatQuest
        :O
      • ruaok
        CatQuest: we've picked on.
      • one
      • CatQuest
        oohhh
      • wich one?
      • ruaok
        but that doesn't mean we can start moving.
      • hetzner.
      • we need to do massive amount of prep work before the move.
      • CatQuest
        things needto be in order first
      • ruaok
        yes.
      • chirlu
        Also “just choose another” is not so great if changing costs a lot of money.
      • ruaok
        that too.
      • CatQuest
        chirlu: better than if that was a reason for delay, tho
      • ruaok
        but hopefully we can make everything modular so it becomes a lot less of a hassle.
      • anyways.
      • chirlu
        CatQuest: You will pay for the bill, then? :-)
      • CatQuest
        chirlu: dude
      • ruaok
        in other topics, Universal owes us $38. Google $40k.
      • and our bank account is looking pretty good due to chrisskye's work.
      • chirlu
        $38 or $38k?
      • ruaok
        k
      • chirlu
        Bit of a difference. ;-)
      • zas
        yeah ;)
      • ruaok
        so, that means that we should hire another perl developer.
      • ruaok is tired and not tracking well, sorry
      • we have the money and bitmap needs help
      • so, if you know someone, please send them to bitmap/me
      • onward.
      • not sure what Freso had in mind with the mid term evals.
      • let me look at the schedule.
      • bitmap
        well, they start today
      • ruaok
        in the meantime, reosarevok & chirlu: freedb gateway.
      • CatQuest
        :s
      • CatQuest hopes reosarevok is here
      • ruaok
        ah, thanks.
