#metabrainz

Set up a newly made mailing list for mb user/account admins, which is basically irrelevant to anyone but me, but eh.

Dealt with some reported editors.

Published the first set of meeting notes (for last week's meeting) in several months!

woo! :)

!m Freso

You're doing good work, Freso!

... I think that about sums it up. I've also poked a bit at my freedb script (mostly moving it to GitLab) and whipper. Oh, and I went to the office over the weekend to try and get ob.o back up, but it failed. Seems ruaok got the fixed now though. 👍

ob?

office brainz

And, as said, I've got my ticket for my next trip to DK/SE. It seems the passport renewal process is going to be much more painless than I was hoping for. I guess I'll see next week. :)

!fin

!next CatQuest

:O

I've been slacking. tho I *have* been adding and fixing up releases! and scanning loads of cd liners (accidentally at 1200 dpi tho >_<)

hopefully I'll be able to add the remaining linked "hybrid" instruments in https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/STYLE-723 and then continue with more instruments this week \o/

STYLE-723: new instrument-instrument relationship: is a hybrid of

helmax Egon!

next is.. reosarevok?

Yay for more scans! 🙌

I answered a few more "what's my MBID" questions

On Twitter, support, everywhere

:(

I pinned a tweet with a link to the guide, hopefully that will help on the Twitter front

reosarevok: I wanted to look into getting you looped in on the Discourse welcome messages so you can answer it there as well. :p

Other than that, the standard support

And I ended up on a local open/linked data day thingy on Sat so I gave a short "look, MusicBrainz has a lot of data and it's linked from WD and links further!" during their talk on Wikidata and LOD

(Other people still up: samj1912 ruaok Quesito bitmap zas Gentlecat alastairp? LordSputnik Leftmost? Leo_Verto? — anyone I missed, raise thy virtual hand.)

reosarevok: 🙌

Not much time for more than that, but still, it's nice to have two different orgs showing you can do open data and not lose money at the same time to people who are confused about the whole thing :p

(and a bit of the data itself, of course)

They were speaking about SPARQL, which makes me wonder if ruaok talked with Barry anymore about that :p

But fin, otherwise

samj1912: go

hi

will report in a bit

(Oh, yeah, I was also at a dinner with zas and the BCN MeB crowd on Wednesday.)

so, this week was spent mostly on exams, didn't have much time to code. Mostly did code reviews, made a few PRs today, doing a few bug fixes from 1.4 for the 1.4.1 release. Have an early morning flight to home tomorrow. Will be working on picard2.0 this week once 1.4.1 is done and over with and will also work on my proposal

fin

ruaok: go

ruaok?

Gentlecat: Go, while we wait for ruaok to return?

[picard] samj1912 opened pull request #644: PICARD-998: Fix toolbar toggle action (master...picard998) https://git.io/vyBT2

I took a bit of a break last week

worked on the indexer a bit, sadly nothing new to report

reviewed some code

fin. bitmap?

ok

had a similar week to last week

(sorry)

spent a lot of time on code review

tested sentry more and fixed several more issues I found. going to deploy that to beta today and move on to other things

(Sentry is... error reporting, right?)

yeah

also fixed an issue in compile_resources.sh people keep seeing and went through schema change tickets

fin, ruaok

sorry, the person in the flat next door had a plumbing emergency and I was drafted to mitigate the situation

last week I spent a bunch of time working to get LB into production.

🙌

I was reminded of how much incredible work zas, bitmap and Gentlecat did towards getting our stuff dockerized.

there is a lot to do and this is after everything has been figured out, so thanks guys!

!m LB team

You're doing good work, LB team!

and last week Hugh at Spotify announced a recent listens API for spotify which is a heaven-send for LB.

this is a *really* big deal.

I also did some work with Quesito and went to the dinner, which was really nice.

chatted with alastairp about the sparql endpoint and we come to a conculusion.

I'll make a VM for barry and coordinate with zas to get things monitored appropriately.

then on thursday I went for a 4 day intensive swiss-german course in Switzerland.

it involved lots of burners, snow, hot tubs, booze and an wall of fun and incredible people.

and yes, I did actually understand a few sentences of swiss german.

fin. Quesito ?

Last week I finished most of the reading portion of MeB product education. I feel I have enough of a knowledge base to continue implementing some overarching messaging and verbiage updates. I will (fair warning) continue to ask questions!

(Other people still up: samj1912 zas alastairp? LordSputnik Leftmost? Leo_Verto? — anyone I missed, raise thy virtual hand.)

I’m compiling all this MeB info into a larger scope plan (yes, world domination) so that our messaging / PR / and social media are clear, consistent and aid in the growth of our ecosystem.

Freso: I am done :P

I began reaching out to users who should ethically be supporters. My communication is of a gentle and friendly, ‘push in the right direction’ nature, thus far the response is interesting.

samj1912: Yeah, I realised just as I posted it. :x

Quesito: Looking very much forward to seeing what you come up with :)

Mid-week I met the team BCN was nice to see some faces live and got to meet zas!

I also welcomed a new supporter to the mobile tier late on friday eve/saturday--which is always a nice way to end the week!

Freso--hope to get docs to sharing point asap!

fin!

LordSputnik: go!

Is the new one Soundirok?

yes

Quesito: thanks ;)

This week I was ill for a few days, and then busy the other half, so not much done.

:)

However I had a good chat with Leftmost on Saturday, about our future plans, and we've agreed a way forwards on some of our docker issues, and server management. We're planning to take test.bookbrainz.org down soon, and use the main site a bit more adventurously, since it'll expose bugs to users quicker and let us get better feedback.

Apart from that just been continuing cleaning up code

!m LordSputnik & Leftmost

You're doing good work, LordSputnik & Leftmost!

Then I'll be working on improving entity display and editing

There is a dependency there, however tenuous

fin. zas, perhaps?

Or maybe yvanz_.

Yep.

I loaded bitmap with code reviews by working on a variety of small MBS issues, starting with recent ones, mostly display bugs and auto-edit improvements.

I had a quick look at schema change tickets as well.

Leftmost then?

i'm here if there's still time

alastairp: go :)

No word from alastairp, Leftmost, or Leo_Verto, so I assume not. zas, still not around?

Ah.

hey. just back

last week lots of SoC stuff

we've had a lot of reviews come in for AB - our good-first-bug tag is working really well

2 ready to merge, 2 still waiting on feedback

🙌

I also spent some time digging into iliekcomputers' open tickets for LB and giving feedback on those

thank you!

and clearned up LB jira and added good-first-bug tags there too

started some messybrainz hacking to clean up some long-standing issues now that we're starting to need the data

that's it from me. not sure who else is next

zas, if he's around...

I doubt it.

zas normally needs a staycaction after a vacation. :)

sleepy zas

But if not, maybe let's move on and see if he comes back and we can squeeze him in later.

oh

I think it would be a good idea to proceed with the schema change and found a few tickets I'd like to get in

have you collected them into a jira version?

hi

not yet, but going to

MBS-8973: Carry over intermediary schema changes to next release

can you please do that soonish?

Is MBS-8393 part of them?

MBS-8393: Extend dynamic attributes to all entities https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MBS-8393

MBS-5452: Support multiple lyric language values for works

MBS-9271: Prevent usernames from being reused

yvanz_: yes, that is the last one
