      • Freso
        <BANG>
      • I hope people aren't too DST confused and that we'll all be able to have a lovely meeting now :)
      • iliekcomputers: Go!
      • iliekcomputers
        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
      • ruaok
        thank you for all your help, iliekcomputers
      • reosarevok
        weliekiliekcomputers
      • iliekcomputers
        no problem :D
      • Freso
        It's been great to see the progress on LB lately. :)
      • (iliekcomputers: Pick the next to go. ;))
      • iliekcomputers
        whoops
      • reosarevok: go
      • reosarevok
        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...
      • Freso
        🙌
      • !m reosarevok
      • BrainzBot
        You're doing good work, reosarevok!
      • CatQuest
        \o
      • Freso didn't see that wikipage before
      • reosarevok
        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
      • Freso
        🙋
      • ...
      • Slow blog is slow.
      • reosarevok
        You can do it, Freso
      • 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.
      • CatQuest
        +1
      • Leo_Verto[m]
        \o/
      • ruaok notes that there is literally nothing else we *can* share.
      • ruaok
        nothing.
      • SothoTalKer
        secretary of state would have been more cool ;)
      • CatQuest
        mb state
      • Freso
        I've done a number of assorted miscellaneous tasks relating to jira and discourse too.
      • Leo_Verto[m]
        ruaok: your personal tax returns? :P
      • Freso
        And responded to some MBID queries on the forums...
      • reosarevok
        Leo_Verto[m]: tax returns? he lives in Spain, what tax!
      • ruaok chuckles
      • Freso
        Until I said "enough is enough" and just passed those MBID questions on to reosarevok. (Soz... not soz. 😇)
      • reosarevok
        Freso: :'(
      • (mostly because of how many confused people we got)
      • Freso
      • CatQuest
        and I even helped Quesito find tickets :D
      • Quesito
        thank you Freso!
      • 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.
      • CatQuest
        (to put into ORG)
      • Quesito
        and CatQuest!
      • CatQuest
        np
      • Freso
        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.
      • ruaok
        see ya at the airport?
      • Freso
        And I'll give a presentation on Saturday about open data and *Brainz:https://opensourcedays.org/community/talk?speaker_id=31
      • reosarevok
        !m Freso
      • BrainzBot
        You're doing good work, Freso!
      • Freso
        ruaok: Possibly. :)
      • CatQuest
        y:D
      • ruaok is off at 7:55
      • oohh. so my smily had a weird hat
      • Freso departs at 9:00... so may only just get there when you've started boarding
      • Freso
        Anyway.
      • I think that's a fin from me.
      • ruaok: Tell us more about your flight. ;)
      • ruaok
        nope.
      • Freso
        Aw.
      • ruaok
        I didn't even tell you right time. :)
      • CatQuest
        \o/
      • ruaok
        there is a 7:55. :)
      • who is next Freso ?
      • Freso
        ruaok: You!
      • ruaok
        figures. :)
      • Freso
        That was what I was trying to see with the "Tell us more" :p
      • *say
      • ruaok
        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.
      • CatQuest
        !m well done ruaok iliekcomputers and alastairp !
      • BrainzBot
        You're doing good work, well done ruaok iliekcomputers and alastairp !!
      • ruaok
        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. :)
      • Quesito
        you mean supporters?
      • Freso
        :D
      • ruaok
        we were productive, even if a bit tipsy.
      • Quesito: old habits die hard. :)
      • Quesito
        we completed my 6 agenda points...
      • :)
      • ruaok
        and the other, really exciting thing, is that I worked to get yvanzo hired!
      • Freso
        🙌
      • 🎉
      • ruaok
        I had been working numbers to get that to work and our two prospective cust^H^H^H^Hsupporters put us over the line.
      • Freso
        🎆
      • ruaok
        welcome to the team, yvanzo!
      • yvanzo
        Thanks!
      • ruaok
        this is quite noteworthy -- we've never had 2 engineers dedicated to just hacking on MB.
      • Leftmost
        Woo!
      • ruaok
        we've had 3 people, but with many more duties spead across many things, including hosting.
      • reosarevok
        So we're getting everything fixed tomorrow?
      • You better start, yvanzo! ;p
      • Freso
      • ruaok
        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.
      • CatQuest
        🎊 yvanzo 🎊
      • reosarevok
        ruaok: a toothbrush?
      • Leo_Verto[m]
        ohh, a ruaokhunt
      • ruaok
        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?
      • :)
      • zas
        ruaok: ok ;)
      • ruaok
        I'm back on to work on the 23rd.
      • how did you know I was talking about you, zas? :)
      • perfect timing too. go zas!
      • Freso
        (People still up: yvanzo Quesito bitmap Gentlecat samj1912-via-Freso – LordSputnik? Leftmost? alastairp? CatQuest? gcilou? – who else?)
      • ferbncode waves
      • reosarevok
        Mineo: you? ;)
      • CatQuest
        \o
      • gcilou passes. Too busy in the semester
      • zas
        i helped Quesito on a mail in french, upgraded servers, created a bunch of new graphs for new LB on lemmy
      • CatQuest
        \m/
      • zas
        i continued on piwik, and i have found new isssues i'm trying to solve, for now, doesn't work reliably at all
      • ruaok
        boo.
      • zas
        but the sync is ok, piwik parser sometimes stops on weird log lines :(
      • ruaok
        maybe look at greylog?
      • Leo_Verto[m] also has stuff to report
      • zas
        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 ?
      • 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)
      • ruaok
        more PRs. <3
      • bitmap
        started looking at the alternative tracklists UI branch again, so it doesn't miss yet another schema change
      • CatQuest
        \o/
      • bitmap
        fixed some style errors in picard-website and very briefly helped with LB docker issues
      • fin, Gentlecat
