#metabrainz

I had a lot of plans for this week, and I got pretty much nothing done. :/

I did get the first few(!) lines of code written for a script to import Spotify releases into MusicBrainz (using editor form seeding), but still a long way to go on that.

A bit earlier today I met up with Rob in Copenhagen and had him haul the first part of my stuff for Barcelona back to his place.

We also talked a bit about recent (and less) recent events in MusicBrainz and MetaBrainz.

One of the things we talked about was job openings - right now we're looking for 2 people:

a) 1 business developer/bizdev person to take over from Christina, and

b) 1 Perl developer to help the development of musicbrainz-server.

We're not going to actively go hunt to get these positions filled until we're live at NewHost, but if the right person for either of the jobs suddenly appears, we'll jump on it. So if you know anyone, let them and us know! :)

reosarevok!

Support and editing, mostly

bitmap!

Oh.

And I just added https://community.metabrainz.org/t/artist-creat... (a CatQuest request) for discussion, so feel free to give your opinions there :)

Fin

:D

bitmap! (f'realz)

I was working on https://github.com/metabrainz/musicbrainz-serve... more which is mostly done but I still need to dockerize the caa indexer

also worked on replacing memcached with redis to simplify deployment @ newhost

fin

...

Gentlecat!

I fixed some MEB issues, finished updating logos

zas!

Security upgrades on all servers, recovered a bit of space on wiley backup disks, usual supervision (systems are pretty stable at the moment), fin.

reviewed pull requests for MBS, LB, and AB

This is going to be a quick meeting...

made some more updates for docker-related stuff in CB

continued looking into making jenkins work with docker

Or I guess my connection is really flaky tonight. :(

Please just go in order.

improved docker setup in LB

and started looking into doing that with CAA redirect

hello, is it me now?

Yes.

um ok so

so the previous week I did add some instruments

(including the Māori instrument ensemble Taonga pūoro)

but again I was limited by my cat being sick, and, unfortunately on tuesday, he died ;(

and it seems this week wont be much either as I've developed a cold, I'll work hard once it clears up.

fin!

Taonga pūoro!

:)

that's a nose flute, right?

its an ensemble of various instruments

Aww, poor cat :(

among them a flute that seems nose flut-y

And poor CatQuest. Get better!

yes, it was all very sudden

yes, i hopw so, thnak you reosarevok

But thanks for picking up on my slacking on INST :)

no prob :) thanks for doing artist create instruments style request already

It's waited ages for me to take on it, so it can wait until you're feeling well

both my body and soul is sad :(

It'll pass :)

yes

Anything else for now or should we let the next one go? :)

no nothing esle

(hopefully the style thing will be in by the time you get well btw)

\o/ hopefully

ok, LordSputnik!

or not. Leftmost?

Nothing from me today.

Leo_Verto?

(not sure where Freso is, so :) )

lol

he quit

not exactly

alastairp?

I worked a lot with armalcolite last week, we did really well on polishing up all of his PRs. Hopefully rob and I can coordinate this week to start getting them merged. There are quite a few dependencies, so it may take a while, but there's some good stuff there

Yeah, I guess his network *was* flaky

A bit on AB, but not much. hellska's first patch is ready, a really major schema change, that Gentlecat and I finished reviewing today, and I'll try and merge tomorrow

That's about it

\o/

That sounds pretty good on both fronts :) Nice to hear gsoc is going well!

rahulr: your turn it seems :)

Yeah.

Added refresh functionality to the track dialog, and got it working as expected.

Improved error displaying in the dialog.

Fixed some nits as suggested on PR.

The track dialog is final from my side, looking forward to getting that merged.

Worked on the album dialog, got it running. I'll open up a PR by the end of this week after discussing with bitmap.

That's all. Fin. :)

all the gsoc peopel doin' good :D

CatQuest: sorry about your cat :(

thank you bitmap

QuoraUK

Got all my unit testing and cleanup done on the profile page branch, that is now up in a pull request that LordSputnik is going through, the rest of the week has been working on the next branch to merge, getting tests done and documentation :D

armalcolite

Worked on a lot of things, i'll brief about each.

1. Opened a new PR that adds "playing_now" feature and displays them. (https://github.com/metabrainz/listenbrainz-serv...)

2. Updated the instructions for running the proxy-last.fm API (api_compat), and then created a PR to add support in MBH. (https://github.com/metabrainz/listenbrainz-serv...)

3. The listens on the user profile did not specify the correct time. Resolved the issue and a new PR (https://github.com/metabrainz/listenbrainz-serv...)

And finally realized the truth about the timezones!

4. Addressed the feedback on the "splitting of listen -> listen + listen_json table" PR. Its ready for the merging.

5. Continued work on the GSoC project, api_compat branch. (https://github.com/metabrainz/listenbrainz-serv...) Tested and added new methods as used by the official lastfm client. Also, made the methods compatible for both audacious & lastfm-client as some use the old API. Also tested it on the windows client.

Spent quite a lot of time discussing with alastairp and Gentlecat regarding almost all the PR's on improving the logic and workflow of the code. The end products were tickets, short-notes, code-reviews and the improved code. :D

Also i spent quite some time in addressing a lot of feedback this week on all of my branches. Most of the issues were related to formatting/logic/simplicity in all the PR. And by lot, i really mean a lot!

Gentlecat: Nothing from me.

Eh.

IRC notifications

ah, yeah

so we have these notifications enabled for LB

for pushes and pull requests IIRC

I was doing a bunch of work on the project and it gets quite spammy

1. I'm not sure why we have them enabled just for LB, there's nothing special about it

2. all this stuff is visible on github and it sends out email notifications for those interested anyway

true, but it's als onice sometimes to get "there's been work done " messages in general on irc

I just ended up muting it, wanted to ask what others think

that's why I'm asking why not other projects too then

yes, that' a fair point i agree with

I think I can get behind having notifications for PRs, but pushes are just too much

yea, that makes sense to me

I tend to push a lot for example, but that's not finished work

I think ruaok's point back when was that LB was the newest project and that the notifications helped keep it in mind people's minds(?).

But that's just a vague recollection, which might well be wrong/off.

pr's are.. again what ?

push requests. maybe too much

pull requests

Personally I don't find the messages to be too overwhelming yet, and I'd also be happy to see other projects post to the channel.

i agree with freso on both accounts

I like the idea of enabling pr notifications for all projects and disabling them for pushes

I'd also be fine with that. :)

Yeah, that sounds good to me as well

Anyone else?

though I'm not sure if there's a way to have that just for PRs

There is.

If there is, I'd say do it. If not, I don't mind either way whether to remove all or leave LB

We had them because when we did our hack day we had them in our original hackday channel and they stayed

GitHub's IRC notification system is actually pretty flexible/powerful.
