UT_: hi. what are your goals? Do you want to program?

Yes, I would love to program.

do you know how to program? if so, what languages do you know?

Yes, I am currently doing my majors in computer science and know C++, Javascript(beginner level) and python

python and javascript are really useful to us.

are you interested in a particular project? MusicBrainz? or?

I have done courses in python and a summer project in Javascript

[critiquebrainz] anshuman73 opened pull request #65: CB-125: Added Bandcamp Player Integration (master...master) https://git.io/v1zfS

I would like to work on bookbrainz

Hi UT_ . If you haven't seen it already, the /contribute page will help get you started. https://bookbrainz.org/contribute

And this channel is a good place to meet the devs. LordSputnik , Leftmost , Leo_Verto ^

I have gone through the link, I just want some help on how to get started

Leftmost, LordSputnik, Leo_Verto: ^^

those three goons are the main perpetrators.

Leftmost ^^^

Leftmost: ^^^

UT_, we welcome any help we can get our grubby little paws on.

UT_: have a look at the open tickets for BB: https://tickets.metabrainz.org/projects/BB/issu...

a good way to get started is to pick a ticket or have someone like Leftmost suggest one.

and then dive in. ask questions. give LordSputnik hell.. the usual. :)

UT_, any aspects in particular that interest you?

CallerNo6, let's compromise. Metadata guppy.

CallerNo6: I've using "goon" to describe the usual suspects in the music industry.

so, I guess... sorry LordSputnik. not fair of me.

I downloaded latest vm from FTP (beta2, 1st December) but it's showing up as corrupt when importing into virtualbox

Gazooo: what is the md5 of the ova file?

let me check one second.

Gentlecat: what parts would you like to exclude from SEO ? (talking for robots.txt)

$ md5sum musicbrainz-server-2016-12-01-beta2.ova a367ca4acfc9dea6f5e1a0ce6842bd27 musicbrainz-server-2016-12-01-beta2.ova

which seems to match what is shown on FTP

not correct, I think.

looks exact

anshuman73: isn't it described in the ticket?

should I try downloading beta1 and comparing

that won't help. hang on

what OS are you using, Gazooo ?

np, take your time

host is ubuntu 14 I think

let me verify

Gentlecat: On gci it says "You should talk with one of the mentors and other developers in the community to decide the exact list of parts to exclude." and on the Jira it just talks about blocking the API access and other things which are implemented for metabrainz.org

Gazooo: https://github.com/metabrainz/musicbrainz-vm

use that. takes 3 or so hours to get it moving, but it works.

my mistake, it's 15.10

this branch is even better: https://github.com/metabrainz/musicbrainz-vm/tr...

Gazooo: ubuntu is all I needed to know. as long as it isn't windows. :)

Gentlecat: most of which don't apply to critiquebrainz (for eg, /donors, /admin, /api, /profile, etc)

well, block that first and then we'll see if anything is missing

Gentlecat: sure :)

ok, but no ideas why the ova isn't working?

still investigating.

Gentlecat: also, just fyi, I put in a PR for Bandcamp integration. Let me know how it looks whenever you can :)

cool, no problem

I mean block equivalent sections/pages if they exist

and I get notifications about your pull requests, don't worry

I have gone through the tickets and was not able to decide, could someone please assign a beginners task to me

Gazooo: do you have the latest virtualbox?

well, I dont know what the problem with that OVA is, sorry.

5.0.14

let me see what latest is currently

5.0.30

well here's what I'll do if it helps, update both vagrant and launchbox to latest and retest

otherwise I'll clone

bitmap: what was the issue with website container ?

zas: pages served by queen were linking to staticbrainz.org/MB/ (no file name)

I'm not sure why...

bitmap: starting plackup with -r -- do you see any drawbacks if we make that default for our VM?

did you remove it and create again after i fixed dnsmasq ?

ruaok: I guess it's not for production purposes, so definitely ok as a default

I think some of our supporters are using it in production.

anyway, can we start production ws & website on zappa ? currently only beta on it

is that generally a security risk?

zas: yes, created again after the dns fix

does those URLs depend on consul ?

what is the drawback for using it in production?

s/does/do/

well, it's not needed, and it uses some resources to watch the filesystem

it doesn't restart gracefully either

ruaok: Awesome. :)

i.e. requests will fail while it's restarting. that's why we use Server::Starter in production

Gentlecat: The goal is to have BrainzBot pick up and link tickets.

the goal of what?

ok, sounds like I find a way for a person who wants to use the VM in a dev capacity to enable the -r on the command line

oh, you wanted brainzbot to do that

Hey, Leftmost LordSputnik Leftmost there was someone here about half an hour ago that wanted to talk BB contributing. In fact, they're still here.

UT_, any aspects in particular that interest you?

Freso, responded already.

zas: no, those URLs are generated entirely by MBS

I guess static resources were not generated correctly

Leftmost: I know. ;)

I just enjoy beating dead horses.

If I'm any ungulate, I'm a goat.

AFAIK, you're also not dead yet.

we can flog dead goats. sin problemas!

zas: I'll figure out why it wasn't working on queen

ruaok: tried with vbox 5.1.0, same deal

I think container names might conflict with beta/prod both on zappa

go for musicbrainz-vm

VMDK: Compressed image is corrupted '<snip>/musicbrainz-server-2016-12-01-beta2-disk2.vmdk' (VERR_ZIP_CORRUPTED).

Gentlecat: If you see a ticket applicable for GCI, you're free to enter it yourself as well, btw.

bitmap : i have rectified all the mistakes on the pull #405

great :)

Gentlecat: Do we want to disallow /search ? I think most search engines, including google use learn such endpoints to extract data when user is typing in th omnibox

dpmittal: I have a few more whitespace comments

I like to code in python. Writing structured codes which can be put to use excites me. In general, I would like to work for BookBrainz because reading is my all time favourite hobby

I think in revamp 86 of 2318, bookbrainz tossed all python. :(

anshuman73: you might be confusing google search and the omnibox

Gentlecat: Can I put you as mentor for MEB-* tasks?

and how robots.txt is used

Freso: depends on which ones

afaik, omnibox --> the url box in chrome; I may have expressed myself wrongly in the last message I guess

Gentlecat: The ones you linked me before.

I saw you put me on a Kodi task, which I have no idea how to do

bitmap : Sorry , i didnt understand you

dpmittal: I submitted some comments just now

Gentlecat: I don't think I put anyone as mentors for the Kodi task.

there's some whitespace issues

In fact, I'm pretty sure I didn't.

or someone else did, I guess there are no logs

The Kodi one is also not a MEB-* task.

So I'm not sure how it's relevant to my question.

bitmap : ok i saw just now . I'm fixing them any more things to be taken care of ?

UT_: best would be to pick up the easiest issue you think you can find, come back here and ask for any problems you have. Almost Everyone's willing to help here :)

Gentlecat: It would be great if you'd be a mentor for https://codein.withgoogle.com/dashboard/tasks/4...

dpmittal: nothing that I can see, though I haven't tested the changes

can put me as a mentor on MEB-50

dpmittal: did you attach a screenshot of how it looks when the artist is "other"?

Gentlecat: I linked you so you can add yourself.

but it seems like the goal is a bit unclear for now

I'm already on the next one - https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MEB-19 - which I have no idea about. I don't know how any of that works in the slightest. It sounds like it could very well be a GCI task, but I would really appreciate you entering it yourself, as I wouldn't know how to translate the ticket into "task language".

(I only see screenshots for orchestra, group, artist, and person which means we're missing character, choir, and other)

dpmittal: ^

gcilou : nope , i have attached screenshot for null , orchestra , group and choir artist types

gcilou: really sorry, but I need to run another cycle. keep the hope alive!

dpmittal: Ok, i'd like to see the others

gcilou : sorry not attached choir im attaching other types now

ruaok: ok :( kill and restart now?

no, just wait. I don't want to drag you though more BS.

I wish the cycle for this wasn't 3 hours long.
