Shame shame

I do think that in general I wouldn't want people to change their username to one that was used earlier (because I don't want to get confused thinking this editor is the one I knew, when it's someone else)

reosarevok: +1

But I guess that might only matter for a few, more active usernames, since I won't remember the other ones anyway :/

reosarevok: but when would that happen?

i think that's the main reason not to reuse them, actually

Gentlecat: if a prominent person quits in a huff and deletes their account.

a spoofer could come in right after.

ah, right

Gentlecat: When you decide to change your MB username to RomanT and we get a new cat that wants GentleCat

ruaok: FB uses an internal ID for the user, as does MB ;)

common, cool names, and some one renames thmeselves inot soem other name thne someone else takes that oold name

I was mostly thinking about spam accounts

saiy if i renamed myself "blup" tnhe someoen else went and took "catcat"

sure, fair enough

on the other hand if soem spam account has a super cool name it woudl be a shame that it gets used up by it

I dont have a good feeling which way people are leaning.

perhaps there can be some kind of period where a username stays "reserved" and after that it can be taken

least confusion option seems to be not to reuse user names....

i think names recently used should be prevented to be reused, old ones not

We could do it in a case per case basis ("this username has been used, but it isn't in use now, if you want to use it, contact an admin") but it might be more work for nothing

I think the default should be to prevent reuse, but unused or spam accounts can be purged to allow them to be reused later.

and people who cue not othis might g oand make lots of accoutnts with "desirable" names and (offsite) be all "do this and this and yo ucan have that ccount"

What reo said, basically.

Leftmost++

reosarevok: that is pretty ok, I think.

+1 zas

perhaps just prevent re-using names used within last 3 months

oh i like reo's idea

Leftmost +1!

+1 for reo if he is the admin contacted ;)

zas: I'd say 3 months is too short, but the specific time is bikeshed paint.

let me sum up: "We should prevent re-use in general and implement 9271. However, if someone contacts an admin with a request to re-use and that request is reasonable, it will be granted"

how do we feel about that?

+1

+1

+1

ruaok: +1

+1

+42

hahaha

+zo

nice

lol

+1

bitmap: seem pretty clear, then, yes?

+s

s? wtf

+1

yep, sounds good

As a first case: do we then agree I can remove the PUID-only user, and rename the main user of this guy to it?

the s vote stands it

ok, great. thanks. I will write the blog post after the meeting.

So we have 49zos as the tally.

Freso: onward.

reosarevok: i say go

reosarevok: +1

reosarevok: Sure.

Okay.

So.

We have ~3 minutes left.

Leo_Verto[m]: Do you think it's enough for BrainzBot?

Alright. Go go. :)

Okay, so samj1912 did most of the work editing the existing github plugin to fit our needs

the desired use case was looking up PRs similar to how we can currently look up JIRA issues

so assuming the repo is part of the MeB org, you can add an abbreviation using @gh:abbreviation=repo_name

and then get commits using gh:abbreviation#PR_number

for example gh:P#642

PICARD-1000: Show album/cluster cover art: https://github.com/metabrainz/picard/pull/642

um

(1½ minute)

it's still in beta and subject to sudden data wipes :P

That looks good! What's the question?

the brain plugin is currently disabled until I finish rewriting some backend stuff

fin.

Heh. Alright then. :)

something about !blup keys access

Gentlecat: We'll do your DR next week!

poor Gentlecat :/

Thanks for your time everyone. And welcome again to yvanzo.

See you next week, same time and place. ;)

</BANG>

(but don't diss gcilou)

Freso: same mb place, same mb channel ?

alastairp, sorry for the delay, https://wiki.musicbrainz.org/Development/Summer...

the brain plugin is for storing any sort of text/url and easily accessing it at any time, the new github plugin broke the botbot one :P

ah

the brain one wasn't used much at all

CatQuest: It was only enabled for...

An hour? Two?

well, it only worked for a few days

Same Brainz time, same Brainz channel.

ja

For once? I am _amazing_.
