it's just this: Gratulerer"

jinx

that's enough :)

it's 19:00 here :)

22:30 here

and i need ot make my borhday dinner. a treat for myself. and if i make it myself i cna save money and get it just the way i liek it

where are you CatQuest?

birthday*

norway jo

bye for now

CatQuest: isn't it 18?

bye! \o

yeah, it should be 18 :P

i am not observing daylight stupid time :D

and soon. so will noone else ♡

but thats what you are?

18 is normal time

whatever it's my birthday!

haha

🎂

(also if i go the normal time i'll be late for everything during summer :|)

yay!

reosarevok got one -> Express Rip

Seems fine, although no idea if it uses the FreeDB gateway or not :) But yeah, https://www.nch.com.au/rip/screenshots.html specifically shows MusicBrainz

freso told me that The FreeDB gateway will cease existing some months from now

so any services relying solely on that for MB data are not really applicable for this list

hence i was told to replace EasyTag

can i add Express Rip?

Well, as I said, I dunno if it uses the FreeDB gateway :)

Freso: are you around?

CatQuest: Sorry for having been familiar, that was friendly still.

Project bookbrainz-data-js build #939: failed in 1 min 38 sec: https://travis-ci.org/bookbrainz/bookbrainz-dat...

Project bookbrainz-data-js build #941: failed in 1 min 36 sec: https://travis-ci.org/bookbrainz/bookbrainz-dat...

Kapish_, reosarevok: ExpressRip appears to be currently maintained and updated (and commercial?), so I'd trust that it would be updated if it broke because the FreeDB gateway was discontinued. My opinion is that it should be okay to use as one of the two required for the task.

Then what rdswift said :)

reosarevok: About MBS-8932, is there any other type of IA content (score, libretto, …) that can be attached to work?

MBS-8932: please enable lyrics links to archive.org https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MBS-8932

Well, the one example is a libretto :D

And I'd expect scores to be up there too, yes

We don't have relationship type for libretto by the way.

(I mean URL relationship type)

Sure. I mean, effectively those are lyrics, so I think linking as lyrics is mostly fine

rdswift okay

It's not a very common one

The issue is that we can currently allow for either score or lyrics, not both.

Should we favour one over the other, or just wait for MBS-9902?

MBS-9902: Support auto-select/cleanup/validation of more than one relationship type for external links https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MBS-9902

(score is currently allowed, since this relationship type doesn't depend on whitelist)

rdswift i have added TigoTago and Express Rip. Can you check it

yvanzo: can't you allow without autoselect?

not sure, will check

reosarevok i wanted to ask you, what is the meaning of Style Leader

I dress very well

(no, not really)

is this something related to MB?

reosarevok: no, sorry

"Style" is all the rules and guidelines on how to add stuff to MB: https://beta.musicbrainz.org/doc/Style

yvanzo: then I guess it should wait

oh

"Leader" means I'm the one who decides if one should be changed or added and stuff like that :)

so you are incharge of that

that's great

Kapish_: LGTM. Please update https://wiki.musicbrainz.org/MusicBrainz_Enable... and submit the task.

okay

Ok for linking to the prerequisite issue and blocking itF.

rdswift i will complete designing the t-shirt tomorrow, shall i mail it to you once it is done?

Kapish_: you should talk to chhavi_ about that one :)

Especially if you want to mail an actual physical drawing (she's also in India, meaning it's probably easier / cheaper)

If you want to just scan it or take photos then it's easier :)

I suggest posting it on something like imagur and leaving a link here. Chhavi would also be interested.

i meant an email

:)

Oops, I see reosarevok beat me to it. He obviously types faster than I do. :-)

Oh, ok! :) I wasn't fully sure

That you could put up somewhere and share as rdswift said :)

okay i will :)

rdswift, task submitted

reosarevok, this is really cool -> "I'm not very stylish but I deal with Style.". How did you come up with it?

I come up with random crap all the time :p

Kapish_: Approved. Thanks.

reosarevok i wanted to ask you some things about MB.

Sure

rdswift Thank you :)

MB is obviously open source

so if any other 3rd party software uses MB, picard etc. then can do so for free

reosarevok: Could I help with MBS-9400? IIUC, you have plans for it already?

MBS-9400: tags are missing from the artist node in release request for json api https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MBS-9400

so how does MB get sufficient funding?

yvanzo: https://github.com/metabrainz/musicbrainz-serve... is the same ticket pretty much

cause i did some research and i saw that MB's expenses are more than its revenue

Kapish_: https://metabrainz.org/finances/ :) Normally we spend less than we get

oh

i will look it up

(not always, but :) )

We get some donations, but mostly we get support from data users

Oh!

so these companies fund you

as a way of saying thank you because they use your data

Pretty much

I mean, we suggest they do :p

But if they don't want to, they don't really need to, in most cases. The data is free, but we provide a few services on top

(for example, automatic updates if they have their own copy of the database)

wow this is interesting

i really didnt know how such companies run

thanks to code-in i am learning a lot :D

btw reosarevok How much do our tasks (as students) help you with the database?

i mean the research i do and the style i use is nothing compared to what you professionals do.

Hi c1e0

Hi Kapish_ . I'm impressed by how active you are here. You seem to be always available. :)

Kapish_: depends :) The tasks are mostly to help people understand how MB works (so that you understand that it's possible to not lose money with open source is probably more useful than adding one or two artists! :) )

But at the same time, we have very mediocre coverage of Indian music, for example, so Code-In info from India is usually useful

Same for everywhere outside of Europe and America, really

(ok, I guess we have a fair amount of Japanese things)

And things like researching instruments are useful, because they save CatQuest a lot of time :D

c1e0 Most of my study material is sent to me by mail and my enterance examinations start in a month so i am online almost 7 to 8 hours a day and when i am not studying, i am over here :D

so the main idea of code in is to educate the youth about open source?

Yup :)

"Google's contest introducing 13-17 year old pre-university students to open source software development." is how Google describes it

We like that it's not only about coding, but also allows people who aren't hardcore coders to understand open knowledge a bit more :)

(I'm also with Wikimedia Eesti, which is the Estonian organization that helps support the Estonian language Wikipedia and other similar projects, so open knowledge is a big thing for me :D )

yeah i read that in your profile

Oh, forgot I mentioned that there :D

yeah you just mentioned wiki Esti

so i googled it

Oh, ok :)

I haven't meet anyone from http://wiki.wikimedia.in/Home but I'm sure they're nice :)

have you travelled outside of estonia?

I'm from Spain, so yeah :D

(I just live here)

But not really much outside of Europe

Went to the US once, but that's it

so why did you settle in estonia?

I dunno :D I just wanted to leave Spain at some point and travel around, but I came here as the first stay and I liked it and didn't go further

I guess I'm lazy :p

i would say you are daring

leaving ones homeland and going into an unknown place requires a lot of guts

i wouldnt even leave my house xD

Haha. Well, this is still the European Union, so I didn't need a visa or anything, and if everything goes wrong I can cheaply fly back to Spain :)
