Second GSoC evaluations are open.

<BANG>

Hi people!

Hello Freso

I'm sitting here, sweltering away. Good times. :)

Let's see, who's up? Freso, reosarevok, bitmap, zas, ruaok, Quesito, yvanzo, Gentlecat, samj1912, psolanki, ListMyCDs, iliekcomputers, ferbncode; maybe up (please confirm): LordSputnik, Leftmost, alastairp; anyone else?

Let's start off with psolanki!

Alright

o/

I finally completed the data access part. So backend part of the project is done.

Have started working on frontend.

Fin. iliekcomputers?

Okay

Quiet week for me mostly.

Fixed LB-194 and LB-191

LB-194: 404 error probably because my MusicBrainz username contains a space https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/LB-194

LB-191: report http500 errors on the API in json, not html https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/LB-191

Hey o/

Spent a bunch of time looking at the beta listen count in anticipation :)

Rest of the week consisted of acclimatizing to college again.

Fin.

ruaok: go :)

k

last week was a hodge podge of things.

LB PRs and updating the beta. fixing LB docs, tweeting about LB.

and preparing my slides for my keynote on saturday.

they slides came out well and thanks to all of you who helped spot typos and other issues.

the talk went well and the requisite hair cut to go with the talk was muchly retweeted.

the KDE group is a nice bunch of folks, who all knew or had used MusicBrainz.

;)

:)

\o/

in comparing how the two orgs work, we're both very different.

a lot of people came up to me to thank me for our ongoing efforts.

praise upon praised was heaped upon doing the right thing from the get go.

As it should be :)

:)

so, please, everyone pat yourself on the back for kicking ass and doing what you do. people appreciate it, even if this group of people can only ever find more flaws and problems with out projects.

our

and we should be grateful that it is this way and not the other way around. :)

<3

!m people

You're doing good work, people!

sadly, I was fighting a cold all week and my body was kind enough to let me get on with they keynote.

but later that evening I tipped over like a slashdotted server.

I spent half of the second day at the hospital getting some antibiotics sorted.

back home, on the mend, but I could've done without the getting sick part.

Ouch.

fin. freso, go.

🙋

are you feeling better now ruaok?

not really, no.

:(

Pretty slow week for me as well. I've been trying to keep up with IRC and forums, and poked ever so slightly at some reported users.

Fin.

samj1912: Go.

Hey o/

This week, I did a major revamp of WS code (again ) :P and refactored it and introduced retries for requests and support for advanced rate limiting

a lot of it was based on gh:P#473 I believe

PICARD-807: retry on temporarily failures: https://github.com/metabrainz/picard/pull/473

ah, yes correct pr number

Yup, thanks samj1912, you did a good job on this :)

apart from that, fixed a couple fo small bugs in the ws code after the migration to json

and spent a couple of days in hospital fighting vertigo :P

back in college with better internet

and gsoc evaluations done

that's all from me

fin

iliekcomputers: go

iliekcomputers already went. :)

Quesito!

oh sorry

hola!

hola!

I dove back into more industry reading, as well as reading up on W3 and semantic web info.

I also finalized some more accounting stuff.

Still up: reosarevok, bitmap, zas, yvanzo, Gentlecat, ListMyCDs, ferbncode; maybe up (please confirm): LordSputnik, alastairp; anyone else?

I chatted with a few more new user sign ups, although most last week were stealth start ups, and so not public quite yet.

I got back into the data visualization work--learning D3js.

Freso: me

I made a pretty stupid move of not configuring git correctly and lost 68 files--so that was a bit of a ‘facepalm-self’ moment last week....

I’ve fixed that now...and this is as far as I’ve gotten into learning d3, so still a ways to go.

You can follow/help me here: https://github.com/eebigger/LearningD3

Can someone help me with getting some data to play with for continuing on?

Lots of circles! 🙌

Right now I’m using some data on Iris species...it’d be cooler to use our data....

Fin!

loujine: go! :)

wait what now? :)

just wanted to say that I wrote a topic on the forum about dataviz

Link?

following what was discussed with Quesito and ruaok in April

Cheers. :)

thanks Quesito

:)

so I hope it's going to help motivate people work on dataviz

loujine: :)

!m loujine

You're doing good work, loujine!

🙌

and I try to come to the September meeting to talk about it and work with Quesito

loujine: (Pick the next to review when you're done. ;))

uh... who's left?

yvanzo ?

I'm not sure whether yvanzo is around or if he still has net issues.

zas, go.

Well, i fixed yehudi server

\ø/

and reported the issue to hetzner (it is related to new amd cpus / bios)

then i mainly reviewed samj1912's amazing PRs ;)

i upgraded all servers, upgraded grafana

thanks :D

atm, all is working ... i guess something will break next week, when i'll be in semi holidays

i also experimented internet access at 2 kb/s ... thanks to mom's dsl line, i was back to 1997 or smt....

I keep forgetting I'm three hours ahead of normal here! *is around for once*

I was getting better thoughput in 1993. :)

ruaok: or 1993 ;)

that's all, reosarevok ? (since you are here)

Oh

I am still on holidayish

The Azores are very very pretty

I'm just keeping up with support these days

Will be back at the start of next week

For now it's natural volcanic spas and the like

bitmap?

I fixed MBS-9409 to deal with an edit modbot has been complaining about for a while

MBS-9409: Error merging mediums with and without pregap tracks https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MBS-9409

then was fighting our tests, mostly

proposed some changes to stop validating our markup as XHTML

Moving to HTML5?

and worked on fixing these randomly-failing UI tests by moving them to a headless chrome setup

but that still needs work

Freso: already been using HTML5 for a while

Yeah, I meant for the validating. :)

ah, we've been doing both

Or have we been testing for XHTML and HTML5 both? Or stopping to test altogether?

Right.

the xhtml was needed for rdfa pages, but that's been gone for a while

we also use xpath in tests, but I found an HTML5 parser that can make XML::LibXML docs

fin. ListMyCDs

During the last week I got search results components done (well seems I forgot instruments) and started to focus on writing input components for search conditions. This week mostly with these topics and I would also like to improve error handling of fetching function which fetches data from the search server.

go ferbncode
