        ok, so I mostly worked on collections last week
      • 2016-02-08 03916, 2016

      • bitmap
        the catalyst for that was that we still had unfinished UI work from last schema change, from when ian left
      • 2016-02-08 03919, 2016

      • bitmap
        related to collections

        hello
      • 2016-02-08 03945, 2016

      • Gentlecat
        last week I was looking at feedback on that blog post we posted last week
      • 2016-02-08 03913, 2016

      • Gentlecat
        I'm really glad that we got plenty of comments, which cleared up some things
      • 2016-02-08 03945, 2016

      • Gentlecat
        in this area, I think I'll start working on notifications first
      • 2016-02-08 03918, 2016

      • Gentlecat
        apart from this I reviewed some stuff for MBS
      • 2016-02-08 03934, 2016

      • Gentlecat
        and started working on applying new branding on the website
      • 2016-02-08 03950, 2016

      • Gentlecat
        there are some screenshots of my mockups at https://github.com/metabrainz/musicbrainz-server/…
      • 2016-02-08 03911, 2016

      • Gentlecat
        would be nice to get some more feedback as we are experimenting

        I ended up taking last week more or less off after getting pretty drained last Monday.
      • 2016-02-08 03938, 2016

      • Freso
        I did try and handle a rogue editor though, which is still in progress.

      • 2016-02-08 03940, 2016

      • ruaok
        we hit them both with a warm response from chrisskye and a wall of technical info from me.
      • 2016-02-08 03913, 2016

      • chrisskye
        ...but first I’m trying to close on the proposal/budget to the Board on a “shared work space for the team” here in Barcelona

      • ruaok
        you really just need the mail account for that and should be working tomorrow.

      • chrisskye
        Thanks ruaok for clarifying my comments. :)

        I think that is fin.

        chrisskye: His hair is usually pretty easy to spot too, though. Even in BCN. :p
      • 2016-02-08 03921, 2016

      • ruaok
        the motion that chrisskye mentioned was a complicated bit of work, since there were some circular requirements there.

        the response we got was this:

      • ruaok
        >Thank you very much for undertaking the legal research in the manner you and Cristina have, and the manner in which you have presented it, which means I have comfort on the risks inherent in something like this.
      • 2016-02-08 03925, 2016

      • ruaok
        so, a round of congratulations to chrisskye for taking on these two roles, for which she is perfectly suited.
      • 2016-02-08 03939, 2016

      • ruaok
        she's asking for more. :)
      • 2016-02-08 03941, 2016

        the second motion was to create a representative office here in barcelona and to estblish the legal framework for that.
      • 2016-02-08 03935, 2016

        got complex fast, but we can cut out as much as two weeks by asking friends to walk into a government office, as opposed to waiting 8 days for service via mail.

        one of the things that the board has a reservation about was the office space and that it would blur the lines between contractors and employees.
      • 2016-02-08 03957, 2016

      • ruaok
        we're making the office into a collaborative space that has a greater target audience than just metabrainz hackers.
      • 2016-02-08 03907, 2016

      • ruaok
        but other open source hackers would be welcome.

      • 2016-02-08 03920, 2016

      • ruaok
        and we'd be open for doing things like Free Software BCN meet ups.

      • ruaok
        Leo_Verto: yep.
