#metabrainz

zas: There is a new translator/reviewer for the Hebrew localization of Picard which is 90% complete. He is stuck with a few strings, see comments to untranslated strings on Transifex.

everyone: here are my proposed fix-ups for the Code of Conduct, the Privacy Policy and the social contract: https://github.com/metabrainz/metabrainz.org/pu...

overall, no real changes except for consolidating it into a MeB set of policies and updating them for our current setup.

MEB-3: Update MusicBrainz Privacy Policy to reflect other projects (CB/AB/BB)

Freso: i'll be a bit late at the meeting, but i should show up before end of reviews

zas: Alright.

bitmap: Ping? Meeting in 5 minutes (in case DST is causing confusion). :)

yep, figured that out :) thanks

👍

When does DST kick in for Europe?

iliekcomputers: The 25th.

Okay :)

So it'll affect the meeting in 2 weeks.

wow..small miracles...looks like i'll make a meeting

drsaunde: :o

drsaunde: Want to do a review too?

sure i guess

(Anyone else who wants to do reviews, feel free to tell me now.)

<BANG>

Starting off with ferbncode:

ferbncode says:

"""

This week and the previous, I worked on removing old WS access code in CB (https://github.com/metabrainz/critiquebrainz/pu...). Also, sent a PR to show reviews of entities deleted in the MB database. https://github.com/metabrainz/critiquebrainz/pu...)

"""

Thanks ferbncode!

iliekcomputers: Go!

Worked a bit on helping Rob release the new LB beta.

Did some work on deleting old dumps from the MusicBrainz FTP, which we'll need really soon, I guess.

Helped rsh7 a bit with her GSoC proposal for AB, cool ideas there.

and something is stuck pushing new dumps out, but I forgot to look today.

Been trying to find how our listen counts have regressed, they don't get updated as quickly. Think this is a problem with the new caching

ruaok: I'll take a look

Fin

k

ruaok: go

heh

:)

I spent far too much time last week dealing with banks.

so, one of the problems that our tax attorneys identified is causing problems with our bank is our tax id. they've straightened that out and I should be able to submit this new ID to our bank to unblock our account.

but they are no longer taking online document submission (quite a few hours of drama sorting that)

and they closed the local office and our manager doesn't seem to ever find time for us.

Freso: I can go today

which, led me to goign to open a new bank account.

and they said we'll call you tomorrow.

that was tuesday.

Ugh.

:/

so, I've paid everyone from the US account (more or less) and even then one payment is stuck and three banks are scratching their heads wondering whom to blame most effectively.

Burueaucracy sucks

ding.

but we get the LB beta out with 100M listens, that was the high point. :)

today I worked on the CoC, and privacy policies, more on that in a bit.

Freso: go

🙋

In the last week I've spent way too much time trying to get my backup phone working after my main phone stopped working.

I've written with the organisation consultant I've mentioned before (backed up by ruaok), but haven't heard more from her since.

I'm up for meeting

I also poked the Arch packager of Picard on behalf of samj1912 about picard's packaging.

(On Arch.)

And keeping and catching up with IRC and forums.

fin, samj1912 go.

worked on couple of Picard PRs and more than a couple MBS PRs, picard reviews, and managing my travel bookings for the rest of the month

What places are you going to? :)

London, Delhi, Jaipur, Raipur Kolkata, Bangkok :P

Nice

that's it for me

chhavi_: go

Bangkok! - try to hit Khao San Road - good times

Helo, worked on the release group page, will continue working on it this week and prolly move on to the release page! That would be all

fin

bitmap: go

Woo!

hey

Freso: I am up for the meeting too :)

mostly worked on the same stuff as last week, reviewing PRs, testing react changes and fixing test failures

have any react templates been pushed live yet?

nearly finished rebasing my react sidebar PR into reviewable commits

\o/

ruaok: https://musicbrainz.org/instruments was deployed recently

I dont think any difference will be visible?

apart from the backend

ok. probably not going to notice that.

how far down the react conversion road are we now?

shouldn't that be a tree view? :P

roughly speaking?

ruaok: there's still lots to convert

more than 50%

?

for sure

yup

I guess just getting some pages out is a lot of work, doing macros and so.

but it should move faster once the major roadblocks are gone

but, when you get to a point where the difficult tricky stuff is over, we should appeal to a wider audience for more help.

it gets faster with each utility/macro/type added

yeah, basically once the common-macros are all ported its going to be super easy

(People up: reosarevok, yvanzo, zas, drsaunde, vishichoudhary, kartikeyaSh_ircc, akhilesh, manofcode[m], LordSputnik, uditgulati0[m], bukwurm_ – anyone else who wants to go, please let me know (explicitly) ASAP.)

Freso: I am up!

super easy, but tedious, no?

samj1912 submitted a PR with docs to help people with converting stuff

I also made this PR for our react crowd-source effort - https://github.com/metabrainz/musicbrainz-serve...

yeah

ok, great, thanks for the update.

also made some progress on the webpack PR, reduced our dependence on lodash to make the bundle sizes smaller

hopefully will wrap up the sidebar stuff this week and work on converting more templates that depend on the sidebars

fin, reosarevok?

Hi!

I did support

Also talked with CatQuest and opened this:

Please give feedback etc :)

Is that basically instrument family?

No, it's instrument grouping. Ensemble, basically

yvanzo: go? :)

Yup!

I worked on Markdown for *Brainz, did reviews, and got in touch with potential GSoC applicants. Otherwise, I was mostly on vacation.

Fin, go drsaunde!

okay well first off apologies to anyone who was waiting for areas

had my largest backlog i've ever had there

a combination of it being tax season and our friends at kexp taking up all of (and more) of my precious free time

anyway I bore down last night and closed a couple dozen so those should now be up to date

drsaunde: Anything I/we need to be looped in on re KEXP?

shit hi!

eh

well not really....i liken them to a herd of cows

amilate?

if you do nothing they sit there and eat everything and crap all over
