      • LordSputnik
        The import system and collections are both good project ideas
      • Freso
        Leo_Verto: Sure. :) Like reosarevok, most discussion should be going on in here, so all of us should chime in on helping students out as much as possible. :)
      • Leftmost
        Leo_Verto, I'm sure that we could use the help. :)
      • ZaphodBeeblebrox
        and hopefully. even me
      • Freso
        The more people chime in on helping out, the less we're stressing the designated mentors.
      • Leftmost
        LordSputnik, are you still considering applying as a student?
      • ZaphodBeeblebrox
        I'll try ot update my browser again..
      • i shall overcome!
      • LordSputnik
        Leftmost: no, I prefer getting other people to do the work ;)
      • ZaphodBeeblebrox
        :successkidface:
      • Leftmost
        Ha.
      • Freso
      • Leo_Verto
        Good night, slightly rotten prince.
      • Bookzombie has quit
      • Freso
        🙋
      • Leftmost
        Denmark-approved.
      • LordSputnik
        Not much change on my end since we split up the direct db tasks last week
      • Leftmost
        Same. I've started poking around, but nothing to push yet.
      • LordSputnik
        I'll give a bigger update in the MeB meeting
      • Blog post was well received :)
      • Leftmost
        Yay blog!
      • Leo_Verto
        Freso, by the way, I noticed my Trello ToDo board isn't part of Metabrainz anymore, any idea why?
      • Leftmost
        I'd suggest we come up with one or two more ideas for GSoC and write up the ones we have. (I can get started on the writeup.)
      • Freso
        Leo_Verto: Nothing I did.
      • Leo_Verto: Did you move it to the "new" MetaBrainz when we made a new MetaBrainz one?
      • LordSputnik
        Leftmost: I think the students are meant to write them up
      • reosarevok
        Oh, I should read that blog post :p
      • LordSputnik
        They produce proposals based on our ideas and their own, AFAIK
      • Leftmost
        The ideas? I just mean a quick paragraph discussing what we mean with the ideas.
      • I'm not talking proposals, just descriptions.
      • LordSputnik
        Oh yeah, we should write that
      • Freso
        LordSputnik: The ideas should come from the community, proposals should be made by students.
      • And there's currently no BB related ideas on our ideas page.
      • Leo_Verto
        Freso, uh, when was that? I remember moving from the BB one to MB, but I'm not sure whether I moved again after that
      • Freso
        A looong time ago, it feels like.
      • Leftmost
        I'll throw something together for the ideas we have and keep brainstorming other ideas.
      • LordSputnik
        Yeah, I can add some import stuff to the wiki page tonight :)
      • Freso
        I'm not very good at using Trello. :(
      • LordSputnik
        If you want to cover Collections
      • Leftmost
        Sure.
      • Leo_Verto
        We talked about gamification in BB a long, long time ago and possibly even made a Google doc about it
      • That might be a suitable GSoC task
      • Freso, I think you can just add me as a MetaBrainz member
      • Freso
        Leo_Verto: Possibly.
      • Leftmost
        Anything else on the ol' agenda?
      • Freso
        Remind me to look at it some other time? :)
      • Leo_Verto
        Sure
      • Our plan for the next few months in written form?
      • Leftmost
        Ahh, right. *touches his nose* Banana.
      • LordSputnik
        Eh, it's mostly just "finish direct-db"
      • Leftmost
        And do UI/UX stuff!
      • I can do an outline. Do we need anything more than that?
      • LordSputnik
        plus the stuff from the blog post
      • TOPIC: MetaBrainz Community and Development channel | MusicBrainz non-development: #musicbrainz | MeB meeting agenda: Reviews, schema change (bitmap), EU mirror (Freso), GSoC (Freso), EAA (reotab)
      • kahu joined the channel
      • Leo_Verto
        Okay, this is what we came up with two meetings ago http://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/brainzbot/metabr...
      • reosarevok
        Two meetings is a long time in BB, it's time to migrate it to something else already :D
      • reosarevok hides a lot
      • LordSputnik will be at a proper keyboard in 3 mins
      • LordSputnik
        reosarevok: damn right :P
      • Leftmost
        Oh yeah, announcement. We're rewriting from scratch with a pascal/couchdb stack.
      • Freso
        XD
      • Leftmost
        Well, I've run out of things to talk about. :)
      • LordSputnik
        Nah Prolog <3
      • reosarevok
        Do published scores belong in BB?
      • Leo_Verto
        Um
      • Freso would say yes
      • Leftmost
        I had to read a bunch of Prolog once. It wasn't fun.
      • Freso
        I've added songbooks.
      • Leftmost
        reosarevok, I'd say yes.
      • Leo_Verto
        That's a great thing to discuss :P
      • Freso
        Or at least one songbook.
      • LordSputnik
        reosarevok: example?
      • b
      • Leo_Verto
        Currently, BB stands somewhat separated from the rest of MeB (except for possible CB integration)
      • opatel99 joined the channel
      • reosarevok
      • LordSputnik
        Leo_Verto: and audiobookd
      • Leo_Verto
        Storing that kind of data would make BB more useful in the MeB sphere and could attract some editors
      • of course
      • ZaphodBeeblebrox
        oh, what about manga dokuban (sp)
      • I have some of those .. norwegian ones
      • Leo_Verto
        I mean, songbooks are publications
      • Freso
        So are published scores.
      • ZaphodBeeblebrox
        and comics.. i have comics
      • LordSputnik
        Yeah I think songbooks and scores are good
      • And comics are definitely, we've already considered those
      • ZaphodBeeblebrox
        i mean. hell i have a comic book with lwgo here
      • Freso
        ZaphodBeeblebrox: I think it was established a long time ago that comics are kosher. :)
      • ZaphodBeeblebrox
        yaay!
      • Leftmost
        Comics have ISBNs. I'd say that means they belong in BB. :)
      • ZaphodBeeblebrox
        hell this one has an isbn
      • LordSputnik
        Leftmost: if it's printed on paper it belongs in BB
      • ZaphodBeeblebrox
        Leftmost: not all do
      • reosarevok
        Well not all books do either :)
      • LordSputnik
        I would say
      • TOPIC: MetaBrainz Community and Development channel | MusicBrainz non-development: #musicbrainz | MeB meeting agenda: Reviews, schema change (bitmap), EU mirror (Freso), GSoC (Freso), EAA (reotab), genres (reotab)
      • (and sometimes even if it isn't)
      • Leo_Verto
        LordSputnik, nope, posters and tickets do not :P
      • ZaphodBeeblebrox
        aand soem things who are not books have isbns
      • Freso
        LordSputnik: I don't think something someone randomly prints out at home necessarily means it's appropriate for BB. :p
      • Leo_Verto
        those are EAA stuff
      • ZaphodBeeblebrox
        I have a bound empty writings book with an isbn
      • LordSputnik
        Leo_Verto: posters could possibly be, I wouldn't rule that out too soon
      • reosarevok
        Freso: what about a fanzine someone prints out at home? :p
      • LordSputnik
        Though that's a style matter
      • ZaphodBeeblebrox
        hey i have one of those
      • an they where distributed and stuff
      • Freso
        reosarevok: eBooks are already appropriate for BB. If someone prints out the eBook, that's fine.
      • ZaphodBeeblebrox
        there are few ebooks that are not dtf as well tho, right? but more wil eventually come, i'm sure
      • Leo_Verto
        Are we currently able to have BB works contain MB works?
      • opatel99
        Freso: Is there someplace I can see the GSoC contributions?
      • Freso
        opatel99: What do you mean?
      • ZaphodBeeblebrox
        what do you mean "contain" ?
      • LordSputnik
        Leo_Verto: I believe you can relate BB works to MB works
      • Leo_Verto
        ZaphodBeeblebrox, The same way an anthology contains other works
      • ZaphodBeeblebrox
        .. like a cd in a book?
      • or a songbook with "owrks" of msuical
      • works of musical
      • opatel99
        Freso: The applications for GSoC* that have been suggested so far
      • LordSputnik
        OK, unless anyone has any mor agenda points, let end the BB meeting here
      • Leftmost
        </BANG>
      • Leftmost just wanted to be gavelman today.
      • Leo_Verto

      • ZaphodBeeblebrox

      • Freso

      • ZaphodBeeblebrox
        accomplished
      • reosarevok
        Leftmost: I couldn't find any pics of people dressed up as gavels :(
      • Freso
        Grab snacks, drinks, whatever you need!
      • reosarevok
        Google has failed me
      • ZaphodBeeblebrox
        I'm heading out
      • wtf is a gavel?
      • Freso
        opatel99: It's fine. Quick, explain now before next meeting starts!
      • reosarevok
        A judge's hammer
      • ZaphodBeeblebrox
        uh...
      • oh
      • opatel99
        reosarevok: That's it!
      • ZaphodBeeblebrox

      • nvm
      • I'm heading out because mb distresses me thee times
      • these*
      • anyway, good night
      • Freso
        Leftmost reosarevok: I was part of an anti-EU protest some years ago. I recall some of us being dressed as gavels, but maybe we just used some to hit on Ireland.
      • reosarevok
        natta :)
      • Freso
        Bona nit, ZaphodBeeblebrox!
