Nei!

you demand a shrubbery?!

NI!

THE!

IT

So I did mostly support, because I spent half of the week stressing over the final preparations for

\o/

(science people, send us photos!)

And the other half at a conference being Freso's spokesman :p

hah

:)

Which was actually very interesting and got a couple interesting contacts out of it

It seemed like an interesting conference.

It was! :)

Useful both for work, volunteering and uni

So yay

Thanks a lot for the heads up about the live stream. :)

But anyway, that's about it for me

who says next?

Freso says

🙋

I finally got around to doing OTHER-310, after chhavi_'s pestering me about it (but also since not doing it kind of held up her work, which hurts us all, so it good that she kept pestering me). More about that in a bit.

OTHER-310: Add Jira workflow for design/UI/UX/etc. tickets https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/OTHER-310

Oh and I bought nice speakers!! ;P

!m chhavi_ and Freso

You're doing good work, chhavi_ and Freso!

I asked chhavi_ to write a blog post about the summit, and she said yes, and had it done shortly after, and then I did some copy-editing and we pinged a bit back and forth and ended up (after some more proof reading by reosarevok) in the form of:

slow blog is slooow

Verily.

I (hopefully) put the last touches on getting DDG to index to MusicBrainz (for now) and gave samj1912 access to the Bing Webmaster account so that I'm not the only one with the "golden keys".

👍

Yay

I dealt a slight bit with KEXP (mostly by reading/listening to drsaunde's reports of the current situation).

!m drsaunde

You're doing good work, drsaunde!

That should probably be added to some safe team page where we can access them

The passwords

reosarevok: There are no passwords.

I would say syswiki but we can't access that

Oh, ok then

Magic Microsoft account access?

Well, there are the passwords to mine and samj1912's "personal" accounts. (My account is the freso@meb mail, so it's not really personal-personal.)

But I'm pretty sure samj1912 won't want his personal Microsoft account password stored there, and I'd rather not have my freso@meb either. (If I ever leavy MeB in a disputed way, Rob can take over my e-mail and get/reset the account password.)

Sure

But as I said last meeting (or the meeting before?), any of the MeB staff with MS accounts that want access, just let me know.

(Or you can create one with your @meb address.)

Thanks for setting all that up btw

!Freso

XD

Eh

You know what I mean :D

I also spent time on forums and IRC as per usual and answered a couple of support@ mails about GCI.

I also did some GCI coordinating, but pretty much took the weekend off to spend some time with girlfriend before going back to Catalonia tomorrow.

And besides MeB paid things, I also picked up streaming again yesterday, adding a couple of events on stream, and I spent a good chunk of my time on Wednesday and Thursday watching a live stream of this open data conference in Estonia, and made reosarevok ask some questions on my behalf.

Flying midday-ish tomorrow, but will try to catch up once I've gotten home.

Fin!!

Sorry for that long update. :x

bitmap: go!

hey

I did some code review, fixed some cron mishaps on bootsy, worked on moving important stuff to hip

thanks for taking care of bootsy

made some bugs fixes and perf improvements to the sample data dump script

no problem

discussed the search schema a bit with samj

I think that's about all from me

ruaok?

(Still up: zas, samj1912, ListMyCDs; maybe up (please confirm): LordSputnik, Leo_Verto, alastairp; anyone else?)

last week I was getting some motivation back, but still kinda hard.

I was dealing with a lot of board crap. I wrote a contractor conflict resolution protocol and the board will discuss.

finished dealing with 2016 taxes and other metabrainz crap. had a couple of conference calls.

and I did some LB reviews, but not nearly enough.

I can go next :)

and now I am getting excited about the massive data dump that McGill dropped on massive amounts of listens. that is a treasure trove. and a very large one at that.

fin. Leftmost!

Leftmost went, do you mean LordSputnik ?

I already went. LordSputnik! :)

L* go!

to L*?

Ok

LeftSputnik? Lordmost?

Lordmost!

So this week I was mainly writing unit tests for the new form validators

Going to finish that off tonight

Also wrote up a total of one GCI task

:D

!m LordSputnik

You're doing good work, LordSputnik!

(I mean did a few too but :P)

Gotta get both the task writeups and the new entity editor done before GCI starts

oh yes

So will be working on that until the end of November

fin.

Leo_Verto: maybe? If not back to Freso

zas: Go!

Hye

Hey*

zas says

CatQuest: Is that supposed to be an agenda item/topic?

eehh kinda?

i nmessed up : didn't I?

samj1912: I just went to the first one in my list. :)

i finished the move of Nagios to gcloud, made a bunch of security upgrades, dealt with few failures (and watched bitmap moving stuff from boingo to hip...)

(Still up: samj1912, ListMyCDs; maybe up (please confirm): Leo_Verto, alastairp; anyone else?)

(^ that list, you're first now, samj1912 ;))

usual PR reviews, ip (un)blacklisting, upgraded grafana

fin. samj1912 ?

Hello

Oh, I forgot to announce: we did a great job with Mahler, blog post coming soon!

Fixed a bug in solr related to some mbs schema updates which is currently not in search server

Discussed other such schema bugs with bitmap a bit

Took a FOSS lecture in my institute this week

samj1912: How was that?

Planning on a live MeB bug solving and hacking session this weekend

Freso pretty good :D

That sounds awesome

150 peoples attended and about 90 joined the iitg specific irc channel

:)

Wow.

nice!

!m samj1912

You're doing good work, samj1912!

Also submit my first mbs ws pr

samj1912 is on fire :O

And a picard bug which I am saving for the live session

!m samj1912

You're doing good work, samj1912!

Fin

IITG == IIT Guwahati?

ListMyCDs: Go!

Yes

Nice. :)

k

Yes :p

Kinda

wait wat

Little status update. Autumn has been extremely busy with my studies. Thanks to the lack of university funding the amount of group work has been increased and suddenly it's not only my personal effort that affects my schedule. This madness seems to end for a while and I finally have time to continue my earlier work.

I will limit editing if necessary to free more time for this. If flu isn't going to kill me I will continue later on this week.
