      • Freso
        So Zulu time, not Zero. :)
      • samj1912
        TIL :p
      • It's out?
      • Cool we're in Gsoc :D
      • ferbncode
        yay!! :D

        "MetaBrainz operates the MusicBrainz", eh? :)
      • I assume that's supposed to be parsed like "MetaBrainz operates the MusicBrainz (and a number of related open data) projects", but it's really awkward
      • darren
        Freso: /join #musicbrainz
      • fk
      • SothoTalKer
        maybe it should read "companies" instead of "company" in the Freso link :D
      • can u still change it?
      • samj1912
        Lots of new orgs this time round
      • samj1912 expects the Gsoc students to start flooding the channel soon :p
      • github
        [musicbrainz-server] y-van-z opened pull request #477: Fix running tests in browser (master...fix-tests-for-browser) https://git.io/vyLoR
      • Freso
        Given a CDDB id, can I look up a release in MB? Or do I need the full CD TOC? (Did it used to be possible, but is no more due to loss of freedb indexes?)
      • SothoTalKer
        samj1912: some are already here, eh? :)
      • Freso
        zas bitmap, would it make sense to change https://musicbrainz.org/doc/Development/XML_Web... to be https:// ?
      • bitmap
        sure
      • zas
        +1
      • Freso makes it so
      • Freso
        Quesito: Hey :) Sigita came across http://youreshape.io/reshape17/ and was wondering whether it was something you're participating in?
      • SothoTalKer
        and i thought it's something about body format =X
      • samj1912
        SothoTalKer: ;)
      • SothoTalKer
        :-)
      • Quesito
        Freso: I was a juror last year. It is purely a $ competition and has no further value, educational or otherwise (all IP goes to the organizer). After last year, I have no further wish to participate with the organization (this is the polite short answer). ;)
      • Freso
        Quesito: Alright. I've forwarded your answer to her. :)
      • Quesito
        If she has any questions--please have her email me!
      • But there are much more worthwhile conferences/exhibitions, etc
      • :)
      • Freso
        legoktm: I think https://github.com/metabrainz/musicbrainz-serve... was what you asked about re: the transclusion stuff?
      • Ah.
      • Forcing http://
      • CatQuest
        :/
      • Freso
        So that's why there are no API requests showing in the wiki log, because HTTP requests now get rejected before they make it to the PHP.
      • So either DBDefs should take the protocal as well, or WikiDocIndex.pm:101 should refer to https...
      • Freso makes a ticket
      • BrainzBot
        MBS-9263: Transclusion Table on MB.o is broken
      • Freso
        zas: ^ also. Not sure if just changing the redirect type would work.
      • reosarevok
        I would expect nobody really has set up, but...
      • Maybe something to ask on the meeting?
      • Freso
        reosarevok: I'll try and mention it during my review. Not sure it needs a whole topic for itself, at least not until bitmap has had a chance to look and comment on it.
      • CallerNo6
      • samj1912 prepares his meeting notes
      • Freso
        sampsyo: Ever got a chance to poke at https://github.com/alastair/python-musicbrainzn... ?
      • gcilou
        ruaok: https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/brainzbot/metab... just saw this, and yeah, uni will probably take up a lot of time for a while, but that doesn't start till August!
      • SothoTalKer
        i won't be attending the meeting tonight :)
      • Freso
        ruaok: Any chance we can get/have a user admin mail(list) that I can CC in replies or forward to for dealing with reports?
      • <BANG>
      • Hello.
      • ferbncode
        hi :)
      • Freso
        ferbncode: Go ;D
      • samj1912
        hey
      • ferbncode
        ok
      • This week I worked on the two PRs I sent last week for getting them merged. And started work with one more migrating :P. Nothing much due to exams :D
      • fin!
      • ruaok
        Freso: reports, like when a user is reported?
      • Freso
        ruaok: Yes.
      • ferbncode
        samj1912: Go
      • ruaok
        sure. make an MBH ticket with all the details for making the list. name of the list, description, who should be admin, etc.
      • samj1912
        hi
      • reviewed picard PRs, did minor PW code fixing.
      • Exams, so busy IRL to code much
      • Freso
        (Other people up: Freso ruaok reosarevok zas Gentlecat bitmap Quesito CatQuest? gcilou? LordSputnik? - anyone feeling left out, raise your hand. :))
      • samj1912
        Freso: go :)
      • Freso
        I've been keeping up with forums and IRC. I came home from Sweden late Wednesday and caught up on reported editor from the last few days. Just got a reply back from one of them, so their editing rights were reinstated.
      • I also published my skeleton for a small data-adding script earlier: https://github.com/Freso/freedb2musicbrainz
      • s/skeleton/outline/
      • Oh, and I posted something on the forums, but more on that shortly.
      • Freso feels like he's forgetting something... oh well.
      • reosarevok: Go.
      • reosarevok was mostly dealing with support this week
      • reosarevok
        Especially a lot of issues about the BBC suddenly forcing people to enter their MusicBrainz ID, and not making clear what that is
      • (which, to be fair, neither do we, anywhere very obvious, probably because we never expected people to come specifically looking for their own without knowing what it is)
      • LordSputnik is here
      • reosarevok wonders if the "MBID" in Details should at least be renamed to MusicBrainz ID to be a bit more clear, although that's still kinda hidden
      • Freso
        Right. I get a number of those on the forum as well.
      • ruaok
        thanks for doing this reosarevok. its been a heavy week.
      • reosarevok
        Other than that, I made a script for nikki's bot and ran it to do the spotify URL change we talked about last week
      • Freso
        !m reosarevok
      • BrainzBot
        You're doing good work, reosarevok!
      • reosarevok
        I think that's *mostly* done, there might be a few URLs left that we could probably just change by hand
      • And a couple URLs that shouldn't exist in the first place, because they don't have any rels
      • And I sent a couple more fixes and improvements for the editing-username code, which IIRC bitmap merged, so yay
      • That's about it, so: CatQuest!
      • CatQuest said: "I've not got much to report, still looking for hybrid instruments (if anyone knows of any, please link the MB instrument link in https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/STYLE-723...;
      • yvanz
        reosarevok: About this, I am looking into MBS-9080
      • BrainzBot
        STYLE-723: new instrument-instrument relationship: is a hybrid of
      • MBS-9080: Create a report of clean-up-able and invalid URLs https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MBS-9080
      • reosarevok
        yvanz: yay :)
      • yvanz: go!
      • yvanz
        It has been a very busy week IRL, so I did not have much time for MBS unfortunately.
      • reosarevok
        :) We all have those!
      • yvanz
        My main occupation was to document myself and improve my dev environment.
      • Will have more time this week to contribute again.
      • reosarevok
        Devs documenting is rare, but documenting *themselves*? :p
      • chirlu
        reosarevok: You can edit the URL to make it go away.
      • yvanz
        Quesito: your turn!
      • Quesito
        hola!
      • reosarevok
        chirlu: I know, but that still crashes the bot as it's written now, so meh
      • Quesito
        I started off the week with a meeting with ruaok, for further understanding of MetaBrainz foundation, priorities and goals. I learned quite a bit about our ecosystem, how it is continuously growing and how this merges with our supporters of all sizes.
      • I began digging into learning about each of our products, although halted a bit while attempting to update the logo on the CAA website. This seemingly simple small update, lead to an education in wiki edits and a discussion about our wiki pages in general, of which I still have a lot to learn about. I will be continuing my education on our products this
      • week.
      • reosarevok
        !m Quesito
      • BrainzBot
        You're doing good work, Quesito!
      • Quesito
        thanks reosarevok!
      • I spent quite a bit of time untangling the saga of zvooq and attempting to try to make sense out of a very soap-opera-drama-esque business. I have attempted at fairly deep intelligence on the matter and am hoping this gives us a positive direction at recovering the funds they owe us, which would help us immensely.
      • reosarevok
        Is all this further understanding going to be documented somewhere? I wouldn't mind getting some further learning myself!
      • yvanz
        reosarevok: Frenglish idiom ;)
      • reosarevok
        (as much as it's open knowledge)
      • Quesito
        reosarevok: yes of course!
      • Freso
        🙌
      • Quesito
        fin!
      • zas! go!

      • zas
        i continued hacking on piwik stuff, without much success. Our logs are fat ;)
      • ruaok
        you just called our logs fat!
      • wait wut?
