So the people up for reviews: Freso, reosarevok, bitmap, zas, ruaok, LordSputnik, Leo_Verto, alastairp, CatQuest, rahulr, QuoraUK, armalcolite, hellska, kartikgupta0909
As aye, let me know if you want/need on/off.
Freso: Go!
I updated Discourse again and went and deleted some spam editors on MB.
I helped with some blog posts (Gentlecat's AB update and the GSoC student ones).
I also got my flight tickets for MB Summit 16 (and for my moving to Barcelona too)...
And I was around and about.

reosarevok: Go!

Support. More support. Not much more because I've been in Spain with the family
The general conclusions of the vocals + instruments thing from last week are "we want it in theory but it might need discussing and rethinking the UI"
Maybe something to talk about at the summit? We'll see
Fin.
bitmap
hi
Freso
bitmap: Go!
bitmap
about 75% done updating dockerfiles to use consul-template instead of m4
slinned joined the channel
fixing services so they reload properly on HUP
Freso
bitmap: Neat. :) Done this week you think?
bitmap
yeah, with that at least
Freso
Cool.
bitmap
worked on creating a container for static files which we discussed a bit in here last week
prevents some problems with deploying updated images
working out issues as they come up
I think that's mostly it. fin
zas
mainly consolidated "fix" for web service abusers, updated letsencrypt certs (and certbot, still something to improve), i fixed few broken stats (and grafana graphs)
i evaluated Kong, running tests and benchmarks, it is a micro service frontend
basically it handled auth, rate limiting etc ...
the tool is great, and works well, but not for us (yet)
because it's json-only, and patch for multiple upstreams (load balancing) isn't ready yet (should be in next release)
i will keep an eye on this, but we have to discuss web service future before
i discussed a lot with bitmap, about dockerization etc...
plus usual maintenance & supervision
we have few certs expiring soon (beginning of september), i'm thinking about moving to LE, but it doesn't support wildcard certs
so the move is possible but requires a bit more work
as each sub domain has to be handled separately
i'll tell more on this next week
fin.
Freso
ruaok: Go!
ruaok
after last week's meeting, I'm having my head examined.
thus staying out of irc and putting my head down. biz dev. LB. big query.
no energy for a summit. let's cancel. fin.
Freso
LordSputnik: Go!
LordSputnik
This week I worked on the new editing interface for BookBrainz.
I've been working on the alias editor modal, which appears when editors click a button to add more than one alias/name to an entity.
This replaces the current behaviour of asking editors to enter all aliases on one page, hiding unnecessary complexity.
I set up LetsEncrypt certificate renewal for test.bookbrainz.org, after I saw zas mention autorenwal in IRC.
I also reviewed and merged the last four of QuoraUK's GSoC PRs, bringing a number of new achievements and interface changes to the BB achievement system.
And I reviewed QuoraUK's blog post a couple of times and made some suggestions.
Finally, relaxed this week after a long summers. :P
and wrapped up the old stuff.
that it. fin.
Freso
hellska: Go!
hellska
Hi :)
Rebased PR 195 after the merge of PR 189
worked a bit on the endpoint to submit non MBID recordings
not finished the GSoC project but I’ll finish it in the nexr future
fin
Freso
And kartikgupta0909!
kartikgupta0909
Hi, did nothing last week as i needed the branches to be merged and alastair was on vacation. Will modify the client code to use the API if the branches get merged this week. fin :)
Freso
Alright!
That wraps up the reviews!
Freso: GSoC Final Evaluations
Time is almost out for the students to submit their final evaluations: 4 students have submitted and we have one straggler, armalcolite. But his blog post will be published at 8 AM UTC tomorrow, so he can submit it after that.
After their deadline, final evaluations open up for the mentors to submit before the 29th at 7 PM UTC (that is, before the meeting next week).
Again, not much to discuss, just a heads up. We'll talk aftermath of GSoC soon. :)

Freso: MB Summit 16 - cancel?
So, as ruaok noted last week, the MetaBrainz team is really crazy busy trying to get ready to move to NewHost, and not a lot of people outside of Barcelona have committed (ie., bought transportation tickets) to going yet either (chirlu, zas, and myself are the only ones), so ruaok proposed to cancel it - or possibly "turn it into a NewHost hacking weekend".
What are people's thoughts?
bitmap
hacking weekend sounds productive/useful
chirlu
Well, most of the partial tickets aren’t refundable, so it’s a bit late to cancel …
Freso
Yeah, I didn't get "cancellation insurance" either, so...
ruaok
I'm happy to pay those tickets.
reosarevok
tbh chirlu and zas sound like useful people to have around for a hacking weekend too
And well, Freso is moving anyway, so...
chirlu
If there is no event in Barcelona, it doesn’t make sense to come; but I’m not happy about that.
reosarevok
I'm not happy with a full cancellation, but I can see how a delay makes sense
Freso
reosarevok: Well, it's a return ticket for the summit, with "final flight" being Oct. 1st. But I was hoping to maybe scope out some things and get some paperwork/formalities done in the day before/after summit.
reosarevok
Oh, huh, I thought you'd just stay
Freso
*days
reosarevok
Ok
Freso
That was my original original plan.
kartikgupta0909
wont it be nice to have a hacking weekend or something like that inviting all the gsoc students too if MB can sponsor the tickets for them
or even for the summit if it happens
Freso
kartikgupta0909: I think part of the issue is that ruaok doesn't currently have the mental capacity to host/act host for a bunch of people.
kartikgupta0909
ah
I thought people not participating is the problem
LordSputnik
If there's no MeB summit this year I might try to organise a BB summit before next spring
s/summit/hack-weekend
Freso
But I guess it's ultimately ruaok's decision whether to cancel completely or turn it into a "hacking weekend".
TOPIC: MetaBrainz Community and Development channel | MusicBrainz non-development: #musicbrainz | MeB meeting agenda: MB Summit 16 - cancel? (Freso), splitting Discourse's MB category (Freso)
ruaok
we can have a hack weekend if I am not in charge of running it. if you want to run it, fine.
