        people can still participate in that survey if they are interested
      • Mineo joined the channel
      • chirlu
        Freso: Didn’t you want to speak to Mineo? He has just joined.
      • Freso
        chirlu: I did... but I can't remember what it was about, other than it being related to Places.
      • chirlu
        The map of all places?
      • Freso
        Oh! Right, probably.
      • Mineo: ^ does that map still live somewhere? The link I have "bookmarked" doesn't work anymore.
      • Thanks chirlu :D
      • Mineo
        atm it's not available anywhere. it was just a cron job on rika that generated a json file and an html+js file in ~mineo/public_html
      • it's pretty easy to set up from the repo (https://github.com/mineo/mb-places-map), but I don't have any place I could host it on
      • Freso
        Mineo: Alright. Thanks. :)

        bitmap: i'm pretty sure they'll accept any good patch, but yes we already have too much things to do imho
      • bitmap nods

        I wish it was less tedious and repetitive to set up consul-template in every Dockerfile
      • trying to put it in a base image

        Mineo: Oh, and I updated the picard-git PKGBUILD so that it'd actually build (and for the "new" pacman hooks).

        Yippee, build fixed!

        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.
      • fin.
      • reosarevok: Go!
      • reosarevok
        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.
      • fin. :)
      • Freso
        Leo_Verto: Go!
      • alastairp: Back from vacation?
      • Guess not.

        I got my final branch sorted out this week
      • and then worked on my blog which was put up last night here: https://blog.musicbrainz.org/2016/08/21/bookbra...
      • And submitted my final evaluation last night :D
      • Freso
        🙌

        I'll be off grid for the next 4 weeks to rest up before the next year at uni

      • 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. :)
      • fin.
      • 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.
      • CatQuest
        uhm is the meeting still on?
      • Freso
        CatQuest: Yes.
      • LordSputnik
        CatQuest: in progress
      • CatQuest
        sweet
