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
ruaok groans
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?
samj1912
Hello everyone :D
ferbncode
Hi everyone :)
ruaok
giraffes and flamenco in latvia? odd.
reosarevok
Latvia is an odd place
D4RK-PH0ENiX has quit
ruaok
still up: everyone who wants to go who hasn't gone yet!
iliekcomputers
I miss Freso :P
samj1912
so this week I got a ton of work done (100+ commits), first off was the mega PR gh:P#664
(Other people still on: bitmap, Gentlecat, zas, ruaok, Quesito, yvanzo, CatQuest, ferbncode_, iliekcomputers__, Leftmost... and what ruaok said) - iliekcomputers, happier? :p
CatQuest
oh hell :o
samj1912
and fixed other py3 porting bugs
CatQuest
sorry
reosarevok
!m samj1912
BrainzBot
You're doing good work, samj1912!
samj1912
proud to announce we have an almost working qt5/py3 port :P
fin.
zas: go
reosarevok
"almost" working means "now the hard work starts"? :p
JonnyJD joined the channel
ferbncode_ joined the channel
samj1912
reosarevok: tons of bytes/string/bug squashing left :\
zas
well, a lot of code review, thanks to samj1912 ;)
samj1912
and testing
ferbncode_ has quit
zas
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
D4RK-PH0ENiX joined the channel
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 ?
bitmap
hey
reosarevok feels most of zas' week is always finding out how something or other is annoyingly limited
CatQuest
heh
ruaok
a ninja like zas will always be annoyed by mere mortals
it renders the sidebar external links with react now too
reosarevok
whoo less TT
bitmap
seems stable so maybe it'll go on beta this week after I fix tests
CatQuest
less TT?
ruaok
template toolkit
reosarevok
CatQuest: the perl templating thing we use, which is slooow
CatQuest
oohh
well yay less of that!
bitmap
but this week I'll be focusing on finishing up the schema change work now that that's done
reosarevok
we're expecting react to make the site faster
bitmap
fin. Gentlecat ?
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?)
reosarevok
ruaok: you, maybe?
ruaok
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.
iliekcomputers
o/
ruaok
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.
reosarevok
ruaok fixed a serious problem? iliekcomputers, go fix the two new serious problems ;)
CatQuest
:D
iliekcomputers doesn't dare touch new code :P
ruaok
daaaaaayum. snap.
reosarevok
(sorry ruaok, I had to)
ruaok
iliekcomputers reviewed it, so he's guilt by association!
iliekcomputers
hah
ruaok
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.
iliekcomputers
grooming?
ruaok
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.
fin. iliekcomputers!
iliekcomputers
hello everyone :)
CatQuest
hi iliekcomputers !
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.
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!
CatQuest
:D
if I may have all your undivided attention for a second:
