I hope people aren't too DST confused and that we'll all be able to have a lovely meeting now :)

iliekcomputers: Go!

hi!

I worked on my GSoC proposal for LB this week.

Also, worked with ruaok on some stuff, helping to get the beta deployed

some bugfixes etc.

not much else, fin

thank you for all your help, iliekcomputers

weliekiliekcomputers

no problem :D

It's been great to see the progress on LB lately. :)

(iliekcomputers: Pick the next to go. ;))

whoops

reosarevok: go

I had a cold all week (thought I was ok now, but then I got dizzy and had a three hour nap and still feel crappy, sigh)

So I didn't get much done

Support (more MBID mail, mostly...)

Also at some point we ended up talking Wikidata, so I threw together some example queries for MB use: https://wiki.musicbrainz.org/User:Reosarevok/Wi...

🙌

!m reosarevok

You're doing good work, reosarevok!

\o

Which will be more useful once MineoBot is up and running properly

(oh yay, Mineo is here so maybe we get an update about that?)

Anyway, fin I guess

Freso: go

🙋

...

Slow blog is slow.

You can do it, Freso

Anyway.

I put out a blog post ^ with the meeting minutes of the 2016 september board meeting (where I became secretary of the board).

There's not much interesting happening at the board meetings that are not otherwise communicated, but it's been one thing that's previously been happening "behind the veil", so to speak.

So hopefully this will help to make the MeB operation a bit even more open/transparent.

+1

\o/

nothing.

secretary of state would have been more cool ;)

mb state

I've done a number of assorted miscellaneous tasks relating to jira and discourse too.

ruaok: your personal tax returns? :P

And responded to some MBID queries on the forums...

Leo_Verto[m]: tax returns? he lives in Spain, what tax!

Until I said "enough is enough" and just passed those MBID questions on to reosarevok. (Soz... not soz. 😇)

Freso: :'(

(mostly because of how many confused people we got)

I created https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/ORG earlier today.

and I even helped Quesito find tickets :D

thank you Freso!

To have a more organised (pun kind of not intended, but not unwelcome) place for Quesito's and my own tasks to get tracked.

(to put into ORG)

and CatQuest!

np

And besides being around/about on IRC and forums, I think that about wraps this week up.

Tomorrow morning I'll be headed to DK/Sweden.

see ya at the airport?

And I'll give a presentation on Saturday about open data and *Brainz:https://opensourcedays.org/community/talk?speaker_id=31

!m Freso

You're doing good work, Freso!

ruaok: Possibly. :)

y:D

oohh. so my smily had a weird hat

Anyway.

I think that's a fin from me.

ruaok: Tell us more about your flight. ;)

nope.

Aw.

I didn't even tell you right time. :)

\o/

there is a 7:55. :)

who is next Freso ?

ruaok: You!

figures. :)

That was what I was trying to see with the "Tell us more" :p

*say

I spent a lot of time working with alastairp and iliekcomputers to get the LB beta up and running:

shows the status of the system. a bit cryptic, but you can see data flowing, which is pretty cool.

!m well done ruaok iliekcomputers and alastairp !

You're doing good work, well done ruaok iliekcomputers and alastairp !!

I also spent time moving two customers forward.

met Quesito for 6? 5? hours and going over lots of stuff. including getting huffy over a faux-gantt chart. :)

you mean supporters?

:D

we were productive, even if a bit tipsy.

Quesito: old habits die hard. :)

we completed my 6 agenda points...

:)

and the other, really exciting thing, is that I worked to get yvanzo hired!

🙌

🎉

I had been working numbers to get that to work and our two prospective cust^H^H^H^Hsupporters put us over the line.

🎆

welcome to the team, yvanzo!

Thanks!

this is quite noteworthy -- we've never had 2 engineers dedicated to just hacking on MB.

Woo!

we've had 3 people, but with many more duties spead across many things, including hosting.

So we're getting everything fixed tomorrow?

You better start, yvanzo! ;p

now we have three devs and me as a part time dev of sorts. plus all the volunteers we have now... I'm quite proud of how much ass we're kicking right now.

and I'm off tomorrow. Not telling where I am going. I'm leaving some clues behind -- some more useful than others.

🎊 yvanzo 🎊

ruaok: a toothbrush?

ohh, a ruaokhunt

if anyone wants to follow along and guess where I end up, follow mayhemcha0s on instagram.

however, if you have access to our servers and check the login logs and look at my IP addresses if I have to log in, I ask that you not spoil it.

I'm not going to go as far as installing tor, ok?

:)

ruaok: ok ;)

I'm back on to work on the 23rd.

how did you know I was talking about you, zas? :)

perfect timing too. go zas!

(People still up: yvanzo Quesito bitmap Gentlecat samj1912-via-Freso – LordSputnik? Leftmost? alastairp? CatQuest? gcilou? – who else?)

Mineo: you? ;)

\o

i helped Quesito on a mail in french, upgraded servers, created a bunch of new graphs for new LB on lemmy

\m/

i continued on piwik, and i have found new isssues i'm trying to solve, for now, doesn't work reliably at all

boo.

but the sync is ok, piwik parser sometimes stops on weird log lines :(

maybe look at greylog?

i reduced the size of mb log dropping 403 on ws, dividing by 3 the actuall number of lines to parse, but piwik is still on the slow side, whatever i do

plus Picard PRs reviews/forums and of course a bunch of new releases in MB db

bitmap ?

sure

I deployed the sentry PR to beta, seems to be working

did more code review

commented on schema change tickets and the sir google doc

submitted a PR to check mbs code with Perl::Critic, since we're getting more PRs now and it saves me from having to comment on stuff

(maybe I'll look at Perl::Tidy in between schema change work too)

more PRs. <3

started looking at the alternative tracklists UI branch again, so it doesn't miss yet another schema change

\o/

fixed some style errors in picard-website and very briefly helped with LB docker issues

fin, Gentlecat
