#metabrainz

pristine__: we want to implement things like "thank a user" without spamming them with mail every time

But yeah, more later if we want :)

CatQuest: What options for a joke have we gotten now? Any you think we can agree on and move onwards with?

well i like the idea of saying things are cancelled becasue of chocolate. but i also thoguht that we shoudl do soemthing silly on listenbrainz

anyway i'm not the one who cna make it happen

so i think this sohuld be a joint decission

maybe a vote idk?

Mr_Monkey: change everyone's recently listened in LB to Never Gonna?

Display only, ofc

reosarevok: 👍

i like it!

no

i love it!

Make it recurring for every Apr 1, it'll catch people every time

just for a day

yes!

what is ListenBrainz ?

HAHA!

i love it

reosarevok: 12 years ago called :)

Cyna: https://listenbrainz.org/

alastairp: we are musicbrainz and it's the best music meme

alastairp: I don't know what the whippersnappers are memeing about now!

srsly

it's a good idea. I like it

Mr_Monkey: also how long would it take to make a MusicBrainz logo only with a moose instead, and then say we're renaming to MoosicBrainz?

also they stil lbe rick rolling

haha we actually had one of those

Not too long :)

a moose once bit my sister

Literally no one:

reosarevok: Let's rick roll everyone like it's still hip!

but with the old brainz logo

alastairp: Visit Norway!

YES

alastairp: sorry for the trigger

I've seen people use metabrainz rarely in India

I guess Indians dont use metabrainz

Cyna: it's not so common in general. Yet :)

alastairp/ Mr_Monkey: visit norway, we only have elg here

Alright, so we've got a ton of suggestions now.

alastairp: https://metabrainz.org/projects change MetaBrainz Projects to BrainzyGang? (BrainzyGang, BrainzyGang, BrainzyGang)?

That's only a 2 year old meme!

Freso: we shoudl write thme up and vote for it?

It would be great for data scraping... hehe

Let's try and pick one and go for it so we can close up?

yes!

1) Automated voting bots

2) MoosicBrainz

(rename)

3) Rickroll everyone on ListenBrainz

4) … ?

I think one per project would make sense if we have the time

cocolate

I don't think we do. :)

reosarevok: what?

So MB posts about bots, but LB rickrolls, and MeB announces the chocolate issue :p

chocolate is one of the best

(brainzygang??)

The chocolate idea?

hag

erh

hah*

CatQuest: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LfJnj66HVQ

Yay!

i vote for rickroll

(I'm sorry)

reosarevok: keeping on the rickroll theme... we could introduce content-based similarity in AB

Can we vote for two?

we can use BrainzBot voting!

Please post a "4) …" if there's one missing.

4) GSoC cancelled for lack of chocolate

Content base similarity to Rick roll: +1

I vote for 4

I vote for 3

!startvote AprilFools voting_bots, moosicbrainz, lb_rickroll, gsoc_chocolate

Voting has started for proposal “AprilFools voting_bots, moosicbrainz, lb_rickroll, gsoc_chocolate”.

How does this work, can you vote twice?

+1 moosicbrainz

(Format is `+option`)

Let's find out

!countvotes

[+4: CatQuest, Cyna, Mr_Monkey, pristine__] [-0: ] [\0: ]

hey Mr_Monkey don't cheat :P

lol

uhm.

Uh. Not sure if the vote plugin works…

That... didn't work much

Alright, I'll tally manually.

+1 lb_rickroll

Yea XD

!endvote

Voting has ended for proposal “AprilFools voting_bots, moosicbrainz, lb_rickroll, gsoc_chocolate”.

+1 gsoc_chocolate because it's trivial

If Mr_Monkey has the time and will, +1 lb_rickroll too

yes!

Sure

yay!

wait so are we doing those two?

I counted 3 for voting bots (myself, Mr_Monkey, rdswift), 2 for LB rickroll (CatQuest, ruaok), and 2 for GSoC chocolate (reosarevok, pristine__).

Who did I miss?

Me

wat

I voted for GSoC chocolate

and pristine__ votes

yvanzo and Cyna voted 4

I counted 3 for voting bots (myself, Mr_Monkey, rdswift), 2 for LB rickroll (CatQuest, ruaok), and 3 for GSoC chocolate (reosarevok, pristine__, Cyna).

Its tie in all three

and yvanzo ?

Maybe GSoC wins

I counted 3 for voting bots (myself, Mr_Monkey, rdswift), 2 for LB rickroll (CatQuest, ruaok), and 4 for GSoC chocolate (reosarevok, pristine__, Cyna, yvanzo).

I guess GSoC chocolate takes it. :)

pritine voted for LB too

sigh. aw well

GSoC chocolate

heh

she did

(isn't the bot supposed to tell you the votes?)

alastairp: It didn't.

Anyway, GSoC we should do for sure, since it's so easy :) I'd like the voting bots thing too, since that's MB rather than MeB, but that requires someone writing a blog post :)

bot is messed

I have hesitations about the gsoc one.

I don't mind looking at rockrolling LB

gsoc one could backfire if there are students who see one of the messages but not the cancellation

ruaok: scared people will believe it? :p

reosarevok: I don't think we should do too many "fools'"s.

Again, we don't want that to come true.

You can pass in options:

startvote optional_name [option1, option2, option3, ...] <--

At once.

Freso: I voted for rickroll

Voting boys seems a lot safer to me.

ruaok, alastairp: you could argue if a student can't figure out it's April Fools, they won't figure out how to be a good GSoC student :p
