ruaok: are you leading this or me then?

(unless Freso is magically around)

oh meeting time

totally slipped my mind :P

I'll do it.

I thought I sent an email to that effect.

So did I :p

That's why I was asking :)

Ok, all yours

ah, yes. sorry.

(let's have Freso on first so I don't forget to paste his stuff though :p)

I've been itching to power through a pile of the open issues since tail end of the meeting always seems to drag on these days.

reosarevok: go for freso and then yourself!

no bang? :(

<BANG>

Freso, go!

"🙋

In the last week I handled some reported editors, poked a bit more at the KEXP (they seem to be behaving better now).

Kept up with forums and IRC.

Prepared to go to https://musicbrainz.org/event/1412f700-e9cf-452...

And then on Saturday I went to https://musicbrainz.org/event/1412f700-e9cf-452... and am here now.

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.)

I'll be going "home" Friday (to Cph/Lund – ~1½ week then until I go home)."

reosarevok: go!

Oh, that's me. So, I did support, mostly, and I'm currently finishing a draft of the new and very short feat. artists guideline

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

(Picard is already there, thanks to samj1912)

🎉

Once that's out, I'll dedicate this week at looking properly at the events guideline discussion, and hopefully having a complete proposal for that by the end of the week

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

Fin. samj1912?

Hello everyone :D

Hi everyone :)

giraffes and flamenco in latvia? odd.

Latvia is an odd place

still up: everyone who wants to go who hasn't gone yet!

I miss Freso :P

so this week I got a ton of work done (100+ commits), first off was the mega PR gh:P#664

PICARD-558: Initial port to Py3: https://github.com/metabrainz/picard/pull/664

\o/

apart from that, I updated the plugin endpoints on PW to allow it to serve plugins for various versions, specifically gh:PW#59

Implement plugin api v2 endpoints: https://github.com/metabrainz/picard-website/pu...

and gh:PP#79

Build plugin files for specific api versions: https://github.com/metabrainz/picard-plugins/pu...

(Other people still on: bitmap, Gentlecat, zas, ruaok, Quesito, yvanzo, CatQuest, ferbncode_, iliekcomputers__, Leftmost... and what ruaok said) - iliekcomputers, happier? :p

oh hell :o

and fixed other py3 porting bugs

!m samj1912

You're doing good work, samj1912!

proud to announce we have an almost working qt5/py3 port :P

fin.

zas: go

"almost" working means "now the hard work starts"? :p

reosarevok: tons of bytes/string/bug squashing left :\

well, a lot of code review, thanks to samj1912 ;)

and testing

we released first version of Picard 2.x, work in progress, but it works mostly

apart that, i did a bunch of security upgrades

plus working on goaccess webstats container, almost finished

and went a bit further with grafana alerts, enough to say it has some annoying limitations atm

plus a bunch of MB edits of course ;)

fin. bitmap ?

hey

heh

a ninja like zas will always be annoyed by mere mortals

I fixed up & submitted https://github.com/metabrainz/musicbrainz-serve... since it contains some work useful to extending last-modification date calc. to our main WS

that aplies for most of our team tho (annoyed by mere mortals)

except for leftmost

whoo last modified

hello

the rest of the week I mostly worked on debugging unix socket issues and cleaning up https://github.com/metabrainz/musicbrainz-serve... though tests are still failing

it renders the sidebar external links with react now too

whoo less TT

seems stable so maybe it'll go on beta this week after I fix tests

less TT?

template toolkit

CatQuest: the perl templating thing we use, which is slooow

oohh

well yay less of that!

but this week I'll be focusing on finishing up the schema change work now that that's done

we're expecting react to make the site faster

fin. Gentlecat ?

I've done some changes in meb

mostly related to payment stuff

fin

(my internet connection is very bad, can someone pick for me?)

ruaok: you, maybe?

k.

last week was accounting and cleaning up invoices so that Quesito can help me with them.

then her and I met with loujine and discussed graphs and beautiful data.

aside from that I spent a lot of time on listenbrainz, chasing iliekcomputers around a lot to do my bidding.

o/

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.

there are two other problems where things are slow, but they are not as pressing right this second.

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

ruaok fixed a serious problem? iliekcomputers, go fix the two new serious problems ;)

:D

daaaaaayum. snap.

(sorry ruaok, I had to)

iliekcomputers reviewed it, so he's guilt by association!

hah

anyways, I'm now setting my focus on getting things critical before a beta release done.

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

grooming?

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.

[picard] samj1912 opened pull request #698: PICARD-1066: Fix update_constants (master...picard1066) https://git.io/vSiZB

chasing people to review them, asking questions about feasbility and how people feel about the candidates, etc.

fin. iliekcomputers!

hello everyone :)

hi iliekcomputers !

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.

LB-125: Refactor code to use MB standard release_* instead of album_* https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/LB-125

LB-147: Merge listenstore into main python codebase https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/LB-147

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.

that is fin for me. CatQuest, go!

:D

if I may have all your undivided attention for a second:

for the first time in... a very, very long time, we now have *more* closed INST tickets than open ones!! https://tickets.metabrainz.org/projects/INST/su...

jippi!

\o/

!m CatQuest

You're doing good work, CatQuest!

(nah, actually not)

neeei!

:P

this week is easter, and I will be taking a well deserved break! \o/
