Gentlecat: We need to publish 8 more tasks and we're good, and we have 24 currently unpublished.

And I think there's still a bunch on the GCI/Tasks WikiPage that hasn't been entered at all.
2015-12-06 34001, 2015
CallerNo6
Freso, what does <strike> mean on the wiki page?
2015-12-06 34031, 2015
Leftmost
Strikethrough, I suspect.
2015-12-06 34031, 2015
CallerNo6
oh Leftmost, I thought we were friends. Now I see how it is.
2015-12-06 34059, 2015
Leftmost
I don't!
2015-12-06 34001, 2015
CallerNo6
worldview updated.
2015-12-06 34041, 2015
CallerNo6
I want to learn how the indexes work. Where do I start?
2015-12-06 34000, 2015
CallerNo6
Is this one of those things where if I want to bake a pie, I need to create a universe first?
2015-12-06 34004, 2015
Leftmost
Database indices, or...?
2015-12-06 34027, 2015
CallerNo6
sorry, specifically MB indexes
2015-12-06 34033, 2015
YatharthROCK
If an artist and a recording of theirs is created, without any sound fingerprinting/tagging information, does that still count as "unused information"? Are such contributions desirable?
2015-12-06 34003, 2015
Leftmost
YatharthROCK, probably a better question for #musicbrainz, but such contributions are desirable.
2015-12-06 34011, 2015
Freso
No. Yes. And what Leftmost said.
2015-12-06 34040, 2015
Leftmost
CallerNo6, I'm not clear on which indices you mean still. Probably because we aren't friends.
2015-12-06 34053, 2015
YatharthROCK
Right. I wonder if there is a nice little map somewhere of all of the *Brainz projects
2015-12-06 34002, 2015
ZaphodBeeblebrox
some stuff is hard to finger print. musicbrainz is about ALL kinds of music, we have waxroll and shellac. it's hard to finger print thoe :D
2015-12-06 34032, 2015
CallerNo6
If I were speaking to Leftmost, I'd say "I want to understand how search indexes are done in MB"
2015-12-06 34033, 2015
YatharthROCK
If there isn't and If I'm going to figure it out, I might as well try my hand at one
2015-12-06 34045, 2015
ZaphodBeeblebrox
i mean, if you rip it digitalise it and then figner print it, that's awesome! but it's not necessary, by all means
2015-12-06 34014, 2015
Leftmost
Oh. If CallerNo6 were listening to me, I'd say "There's some stuff that I don't fully understand built on lucene, but it isn't working very well right now."
2015-12-06 34032, 2015
YatharthROCK
@ZaphodBeeblebrox: That makes sense
2015-12-06 34041, 2015
Freso
YatharthROCK: There isn't a nice map yet, but it's a task that hopefully someone(s) will pick up for GCI tomorrow.
2015-12-06 34058, 2015
Freso
YatharthROCK: You don't happen to be a prospective GCI student?
2015-12-06 34028, 2015
YatharthROCK
@Freso: lol I see that y'all predicted this
2015-12-06 34054, 2015
YatharthROCK
I am, so I might end up doing that after all
2015-12-06 34012, 2015
Freso
;)
2015-12-06 34054, 2015
Freso
YatharthROCK: I'm the "lead org. admin" for MetaBrainz; feel free to ask me about stuff, here and in #musicbrainz :)
2015-12-06 34011, 2015
ZaphodBeeblebrox
andi'm jsut this guy you know. :)
2015-12-06 34027, 2015
YatharthROCK
@Freso:Is that different from a mentor?
2015-12-06 34048, 2015
ZaphodBeeblebrox
hes the mentorboss guy
2015-12-06 34003, 2015
Leftmost
Freso is both mentor and senior in-charge person.
2015-12-06 34006, 2015
ZaphodBeeblebrox
he's bot scary though. he's a dreadlocked hippie from denmark :O
2015-12-06 34016, 2015
ZaphodBeeblebrox
erh :P*
2015-12-06 34007, 2015
ZaphodBeeblebrox
a bot from denmark? heh
2015-12-06 34010, 2015
Freso
YatharthROCK: :) We're four admins; admins are *also* mentors, but have some additional powers (like assigning and removing mentors from tasks).
2015-12-06 34036, 2015
Freso
Jag kjenner en bot. Hun heter Anna, Anna heter hun.
2015-12-06 34004, 2015
ZaphodBeeblebrox
Freso: en Ann' droid?
2015-12-06 34011, 2015

2015-12-06 34023, 2015
Leftmost facepalms.
2015-12-06 34036, 2015
Freso
Did you get my reference though? (I know it's Swedish, but eh.)
ZaphodBeeblebrox: Mhm. But the song itself is about a chat bot. :)
2015-12-06 34027, 2015
Leftmost
mIRC. :|
2015-12-06 34033, 2015
ZaphodBeeblebrox
so he's inlove with the bot? :P
2015-12-06 34057, 2015
Freso
But a lot of people heard it and thought he was singing about a boat.
2015-12-06 34008, 2015
YatharthROCK
Nice to meet all of you. How's your time zone distribtuion? I'm in the U.S., but I used to live in Kuwait and I remember IRC being silent on many of the channels I used to hang out on then
2015-12-06 34031, 2015

ZaphodBeeblebrox, YatharthROCK Welcome. I am also a GCI participant this year. Best of luck!
mildused: ZaphodBeeblebrox is CatCat is CatQuest :)
2015-12-06 34058, 2015
Freso
(And not a GCI student.)
2015-12-06 34010, 2015
mildused
Oh what... Never made that connection
2015-12-06 34025, 2015
Leftmost
We're skewed toward the western hemisphere, but pretty distributed therein.
2015-12-06 34021, 2015
Freso
Yeah. We have a single mentor in the Far East (Japan), D4RK-PH0ENiX, but he's not a coder, so he's mostly going to mentor MusicBrainz editing related stuff.
2015-12-06 34026, 2015
ZaphodBeeblebrox
mildused: sorry, I do that.. I'm also "blup" and "HSOWA if freenode kicks me sufficient times
Freso, that doesn't look anything like the Sacred Chao.
2015-12-06 34015, 2015
ZaphodBeeblebrox
Freso: ja, I get that, just funny since it sounded like "båt" when he said "bot" and he's on the paddeling or whatever boat thing. made me think that was intentional
2015-12-06 34033, 2015
Freso
Nope. I don't think the Chao has been added to the Unicode tables yet.
2015-12-06 34049, 2015
Leftmost
I'll get in touch with Andrew West, try to get a proposal submitted. :-P
2015-12-06 34052, 2015
Freso
ZaphodBeeblebrox: Like I said, *a lot* of people thought it was about a boat. :)
2015-12-06 34058, 2015
ZaphodBeeblebrox
:P
2015-12-06 34019, 2015
Freso
ZaphodBeeblebrox: So I'm fairly sure the video was intentionally made in a "boat" sailing around in the canals.
2015-12-06 34027, 2015
ZaphodBeeblebrox
heh :D
2015-12-06 34042, 2015
Freso
I think I saw an interview once to the same effect, but not sure.
2015-12-06 34059, 2015
Freso
(It's been a looong time since that song was in rotation.)
2015-12-06 34005, 2015
Leftmost
Freso, what process do you want us to go through for submitting tasks?
2015-12-06 34052, 2015
ZaphodBeeblebrox
the lyrics are amusing but I just don't get
2015-12-06 34052, 2015
ZaphodBeeblebrox
"Jag är en väldigt, väldigt vacker tjej, som nu tyvärr är väldigt främmande för mig"
2015-12-06 34052, 2015
ZaphodBeeblebrox
"tyvärr är väldigt främmande för mig" främmande för mig? hæ?
2015-12-06 34004, 2015
Freso
Leftmost: Add the task, notify me.
2015-12-06 34018, 2015
Leftmost
You want a jira ticket too, right?
2015-12-06 34034, 2015
Freso
Or another admin. Or perhaps the mentor/admin hangout?
2015-12-06 34001, 2015
Freso
Leftmost: If it's relevant. I don't necessarily care about there being a Jira ticket, but I care about linking relevant Jira tickets if they're there.
2015-12-06 34059, 2015
Freso
The students should be given access to as much relevant information as possible. :)
2015-12-06 34007, 2015
Leftmost
Okay.
2015-12-06 34048, 2015
ZaphodBeeblebrox
ops probably shouldn't talk about the lyrics in here but in #mb.. tho it was here it was started the conversation :/
2015-12-06 34048, 2015
ZaphodBeeblebrox
det er så kleint å ta konteksten fra en kanal og gå ti len annen
2015-12-06 34053, 2015
Freso
(And it's a way to tie in the GCI tasks list with the community‐oriented ticket tracker.)
2015-12-06 34003, 2015
Freso
ZaphodBeeblebrox: It's alright.
2015-12-06 34008, 2015
Freso
Oh, right.
2015-12-06 34037, 2015
ZaphodBeeblebrox
yay
2015-12-06 34050, 2015
ZaphodBeeblebrox is now known as CatQuest
