Freso: thanks. Was nice. :-)

Surprised by my friend being on the same flight as I.
Freso: my understanding is that both software freedom conservancy and the free software foundation are still talking to GitHub to get things fixed, but currently it's a bad situation.

(probably the analysis on mirbsd is slightly alarmist, and it isn't _that_ bad,... but it's still bad)

kuno: Reading now. Thanks for the heads up.

ruaok / Freso: do I even bother to answer the latest gsoc email at support, given they didn't bother to look it up themselves?
ruaok: the LB one specifically? (since that's the most relevant one I guess)
2017-03-02 06110, 2017
reosarevok sends a link to the main GSoC bit and the LB one for now, hopefully they won't pester me much about it
2017-03-02 06136, 2017
Freso idly wonders how many BBC artists add themselves without any URLs or other relationships and thus end up getting purged again... :| (Hopefully not too many.)

reosarevok
That's part of the guide too, if they can't read that...
2017-03-02 06114, 2017
reosarevok sighs at the GSoC person also just writing "Sir," because obviously no women ever use computers

alastairp I'm interested in contributing to the Machine Learning Project, "New Machine Learning Infrastructure", I'd really appreciate it if you could tell me what are the skills I would require, and how I could start working on my GSoC 2017 proposal. Thanks in advance!

Forgive me for sending the same message twice.

grassknoted: do not send private messages to people in IRC
2017-03-02 06104, 2017
alastairp
it has a habit of annoying them and they feel less inclined to helping you
2017-03-02 06121, 2017
Freso
Also, sending private messages show that you failed to read, or at least failed to comprehend, the "how to get started with GSoC" notes.

Freso : I apologise, it's not that I failed to comprehend the notes, it's actually my first time using freenode. I'm more comfortable with the slack or gitter clients. I'm sorry, I will not happen again.

zas np! I hope the places I picked were enjoyable for all! :)

Hm. Or maybe it was on another page that I'm mixing up now.
A simple recaptcha could be implemented. It could be done at the User data-entry page rather than a prompt.
2017-03-02 06106, 2017
samj1912
it also has recaptcha, but needs api keys from google
2017-03-02 06120, 2017
Freso
I don't think that will be an issue.

That wouldn't take too long to get

Freso: what's our mid-term plan with google cookies?
2017-03-02 06146, 2017
alastairp
and does recaptcha use any?
2017-03-02 06109, 2017
Freso
(I think we're also already using recaptcha for MB.org. And we actually do get a bunch of spammers signing up there. The wiki seems happily void of spammers though, so the HTTP Auth at least seems to be working. :/)
2017-03-02 06127, 2017
akashn97
Is it alright if I assign myself to the bug, or do we adhere to a decorum here at MusicBrainz?
2017-03-02 06150, 2017
Freso
akashn97: WP:BB! :) (That is, go ahead and assign it if you're going to work on it. ;))

akashn97: you can take up any issue if its unassigned :)

Freso
alastairp: I don't think we've gotten any further in that discussion.
2017-03-02 06103, 2017
alastairp
akashn97: I recommend that you start a discussion on the ticket as well
2017-03-02 06116, 2017
alastairp
Freso: right. and since we already have recaptcha, not much of an issue for now
2017-03-02 06127, 2017
Freso
We were going to look into it because the EU cookie law...
2017-03-02 06133, 2017
Freso
But that cookie law might be going away soon.

Well, "soon".

akashn97: it's good to take the initiative, however most of the implementation of this task will have to be done by metabrainz employees, because it involves configuration, not coding
2017-03-02 06136, 2017
alastairp
however, if you can provide a push to make someone enable this plugin, then that's great too!

Alright, I'm sorry I got a little carried away, my main intention here was to just introduce myself. I heard about MetaBrainz because of GSoC, and I'm really fascinated by it now that's I've started reading about it and getting to know it better.

Hope to work with you all this summer! :D

I'm sorry if this is a bad question, but does MetaBrainz use Git?

akashn97: from our side it's nice that you came in with a problem, discussion, and willingness to work with us, instead of asking us to tell you how to start contributing :)
