Tonight I will have just given a talk about "metadata and MusicBrainz for musicians and music fans", which I hope to inspire a couple more Danish (and maybe non-Danish) contributors. I guess we'll see. (I know at least a couple of the people here are already MusicBrainz fans, so I'm not in the toughest crowd.)

(I also earlier today talked with a music manager that's involved with the Irish Traditional Music Archive who will put me in touch with some people there who are about to start a metadata project of their own. We'll see what (if anything) comes from that.)

Once that's done, I'll write a blog post too, in case some other tagger makers or whoever want to know about the changes and adapt to them

And Friday to Sunday I'll be in Latvia waking up way too early to take nature photos at dawn, and seeing giraffes and stuff. And Spanish flamenco, because of course the main folk bar in Riga would have *that* the day I'm there :D

the important thing he did was create a stress tester script that allows us to figure out where the scaling bottlenecks are.

I found one serious problem that would've really screwed us later. I got that fixed up and deployed today.
2017-04-10 10039, 2017

there are two other problems where things are slow, but they are not as pressing right this second.
2017-04-10 10053, 2017

as long as we address them in the next 6 months we should be fine.

I also spent some time grooming our gsoc applications and the results are so far not terribly surprising.

grooming?
2017-04-10 10038, 2017

the people who have been part of our community for a while submitted great proposals. those who wandered in in the last days before the deadline, less so.
chasing people to review them, asking questions about feasbility and how people feel about the candidates, etc.

This week I worked on LB as always, specifically LB-125 and LB-147. LB-147 involved breaking the listenstore file into three parts, which was something I had wanted to do since some time.
Also, I wrote a script to stress test influxdb for the usage that we expect from it, but ruaok already mentioned that. Nice to see that it was helpful in finding bottlenecks

Not much else, I'll probably be away this week mostly (a hackathon), but I think I'll be sporadically online for sure.
