hey pals

just a reminder i'm alive :p, third year of uni is kicking my butt :(

QuoraUK, glad you're still alive. Hopefully it's kicking your butt in a useful way.

Freso: I'm also not adding any other mentors or tags

feel free to amend those

Freso: meeting?

Hi!

<BANG>

Sorry.

Gentlecat: Go :)

where?

I worked on fixing issues with MetaBrainz website last week

Oh.

yes, there was a problem with replication API

but it's fixed now

I also fixed a few other issues there and in CB

published some logos on the metabrainz website

More supporters?

yep

🙌

I think that's it so far

oh, and I've been adding tasks for GCI today

🙌

👐

(Pick the next one.)

hi

a few weeks ago I started working on bigquey support in acousticbrainz

I now have a rough sketch to upload data to bigquery, and we can run cool queries and get some neat graphs from the data

(People remaining: Freso ruaok-via-Freso bitmap zas reosarevok CatQuest? Leo_Verto? Leftmost? LordSputnik? chirlu?)

some more work to finalise the code, then I want to get the whole database up and ping people to try and query it and see if it does what they want

we'll see how that goes

not much else.

bitmap:

📈

hey

I worked on generating those two missing replication packets for most of the week

which also wouldn't have happened without chirlu's help

!m bitmap and chirlu

You're doing good work, bitmap and chirlu!

That was indeed quite an impressive endeavour.

luks gave some good ideas too though we didn't end up having to generate any empty packets

I fixed http://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MBS-9132 too, don't think there's anything else to mention

fin, ruaok-via-Freso

ruaok says:

"""

Last week I spent time on replication packet recovery code. Blogging. Catching up on email. Doing finances.

I also tweaked the search server code to fix some ISE's and tune down logging. There are loads more tweaks to be done, such as using a ram disk for index storage.

In London for a perfunctory board meeting and a mb presentation for the OMI. I'm curious to see how OMI things are going, so this should be insightful.

Next: zas!

"""

So I guess zas is next. :)

Support and a couple easy small style tickets. Still crazy with school and stuff. Took a look at all the other recently opened tickets but most seem non trivial and need discussion. Fin

Hey

(sorry I'm on a date so I hijacked you :D )

Go zas

I worked on a stat script, which parses nginx logs and inject metrics in influxdb

almost finished, i hope to put it in prod tomorrow

it will help us to measure performance, and improve thingds

apart that, nothing more than usual supervision

i also prepared few changes we need to do on current platform

because performance on web servers is quite bad atm

fin.

CatQuest ?

Leo_Verto ?

CatQuest hasn't said anything, so I don't think they're around.

I'm not around either

hey I'm around but not plural

CatQuest: Want to go?

uh well no prepaired speach but:

How was the trip?

last week I didn't add much as I had mini-vakation in dnemark!

this week i hope to add more instruments :D

chirlu: i still don't like it :)

i was also in a few conversations about

what constitudes and what does not inst type ticets

and that sometimes this crosses over in style (which is all duely reosarevoks business!)

I also wanted to say that in no way shape or form am I trying to ignore someones instrument requests vilfuly. it's just that i'm trying to do it roughly alphabetical/most voets/ easyest forst

thnak you. fin

👍

As was already mentioned, I gave some creative input to the replication packet recreation business.

I went to my girlfriend's (Sweden) on Wednesday, and then to Copenhagen for a battle and Christmas dance thing on Sat/Sun.

I've done a little bit of GCI'ing, but mostly been keeping up with IRC and forums.

[21:09] <Gentlecat> 📈 😸

I plan to do catch up on/with GCI stuff this week.

I'll be going to Copenhagen Thursday and my girlfriend and I will both go to BCN early(!) Saturday.

But.

In one week from now, the GCI will. be. on!

🙌

So that'll be most of my week this week, when I'm not spending time with GF I reckon. :)

Okay. fin.

Leo_Verto? Leftmost? LordSputnik?

Most of what I did this week was adding more GCI tickets

hy has I read that as leomost pudding

Got in one for translating our static content and finished up the documentation of code ones

I'm aiming to have 1/2 of all GCI tasks be BookBrainz tasks - at the moment I'm about 5 behind that

LordSputnik: Translation tasks aren't acceptable. :( I'll explain more after meeting or off-channel.

Oh really? Is it because it excludes English-speakers?

LordSputnik: No.

OK, well, we'll think of some alternatives, but no shortage of ideas yet

Apart from that, I did a little bit of thinking about the data module for BB and where to take that next

fin.

Leo_Verto: Leftmost?

LordSputnik: Feel free to poke stanislas_ whenever he's around and add him as a mentor if he's willing. :)

Nothing from me this week.

wadda mean excludes english speakers? i speak english?

CatQuest, native English speakers are less likely to know a foreign language (almost unthinkable in most of the EU :P)

Okay. Guess that's it for reviews.

I’ll try again then. :)

CatQuest: I mean, native English speaking students who aren't fluent in other languages would miss out on a translation task

uhm

Gentlecat: DR: MBS-8830!

[20:20:57] <chirlu> As was already mentioned, I gave some creative input to the replication packet recreation business.

I'm pretty sure there's most not-english pseaking people speaking english online, see f.ex this channel

chirlu: Oh, sorry!

I also held contact with replication users on the forums mostly.

Dammit.

CatQuest: They mean people like me who only speak English fluently wouldn't be able to do translation tasks

The updated CAPTCHA seems to work, as the number of new editor accounts created per day has dropped considerably.

gcilou: ah yea. but uh, i thikn you're in the minority? idk, maybe not

\o/ chirlu !

Let’s hope it’s removing the right portion, not the human users. ;-)

yea :o

( CatQuest: It's normal in the US :) )

but i mena, as long as they aren't spam bots we welcome any user, evne if it's a robot

gcilou: the US =/= the world :D

I also crossed the number of 250 fixed MBS tickets. There are still four missing for the binarily round number (2^8), though. :-)

fin

CatQuest: very true but there are many gci students from the US and we don't want to exclude all of them :)

Gentlecat: DR: MBS-8830!
