what is the enum change doing then?

I just unwrapped SUPPORTED_CURRENCIES list

hmm, ok.

seems like sqlalchemy is not interpreting it correctly

k, approved. let me know if you want me to do another donation.

ruaok: sure. now would be a good time

on it

done

"Thank you for making a donation to the MetaBrainz Foundation. " \ø/

what about the IPN message?

ah, there

still need me to look at it?

no need

something strange is going on, not sure what

IPN is not getting validated

I'll revert it for now and set up a test instance

[metabrainz.org] gentlecat closed pull request #270: Currency-related schema changes (master...currency) https://git.io/v9Lvr

ok, reverted

can I get a test.meb.org domain or something like that? pointed at the gateway

k

done.

DNS propagated too!

alright, I'll look at it tomorrow

ruaok: https://www.dropbox.com/s/gt1j2xo3s9d7xlo/json-...

100 entities per type = 29MB uncompressed / 2.1MB compressed

ruaok: see email--need a bit of advice on that one

reosarevok: I'm still planning to do that, can't really give an ETA thoug

h

I wouldn't mind if someone else were to take the ticket

Leo_Verto[m]: whats the scoop on deployment of the User Survey? what can I do?

The survey's pretty much done except for the UX part

getting in touch with someone who does UX and asking them what we should ask our users could solve that

ruaok knew someone IIRC

ok

Well, I'm hoping Quesito and/or gcilou could become our resident experts...

gcilou: any thoughts we can contribute to this together? ^

I do have UX thoughts and notes...but not quite an expert yet...

Quesito: I'm all for it!

awesome--so what questions do we ask users to get the most UX information to help us?

(I'm at work now, I will get back to you asap :/)

i think as this is within a broader survey--maybe we should stick to 3 questions

ah! no problem!

lol--sorry!!! whenever you have time is fantastic!

Hey who's leading the meeting today?

Hi sam

I am not sure if I'll be up

Hi Sophist-UK

I was hoping that a few Picard developers will be on hand tonight to discuss support for multiple Work tags.

Had a busy week and just got over with all my end sem lab assignments

Can I send you a VR caffeine fix?

Lol, don't think that will help much, been pulling all nighters for the past couple of days

samj1912: do you have an update for us? I can pass it along to the team

sounds like you need to crash! i'm having flashbacks to those days...

Ok - how many hours ahead of Zulu are you? 4? 5?

Its 6:27pm here in UK

Quesito, just reviews. I spent most of the week busy with college end sem assignments. Apart from that did code reviews for picard and PW. That's about it. Now gearing up for theory exams. And will get back to coding picard stuff tomorrow.

I'll will share your review tonight! :)

Sophist-UK 11 pm here

Just about to crash :p

So it will be well past midnight by the time the meeting starts. Sleep well. ANd I hope your labs went well.

I'll check the logs and reply back tomorrow

nn samj1912!

Yup. Thanks :)

Nn :D

Sophist-UK: you had a post you wanted us to preread, no? Did I miss you posting it?

No - agreed with ruaok that I would copy and paste into IRC during the meeting. Its lengthy only because of the need to set the context not because it is difficult to understand.

Strategic rather than technical.

ah, right on! so i did miss the resolution! :P

Quesito, almost forgot, I was thinking of applying to fedora flock 2017 for a talk proposal about MB and Picard. I'll need help with that if possible and would like to know if MeB already has any plans about flock 2017

Added to your review samj1912!

Not even sure if it will be relevant at flock or if I'll be accepted. Just passed by that and I have been wanting to get involved with FOSS events so thought about applying.

Right on!

Quesito, ruaok & others interested in data visualization: I pushed a few ongoing tests with d3js/plotly on github/bitbucket

e.g. https://github.com/loujine/musicbrainz-dataviz/... about musicians family (=teacher/student relations) tree

or https://github.com/loujine/musicbrainz-dataviz/... for instruments tree

or https://loujine.github.io/musicbrainz-dataviz/7... for some interactive histograms/timelines

❤️

Great stuff loujine - I particularly like the who taught who one. Many years ago - Ok, Ok, many decades ago - a school mate drew a diagram of how musicians moved between bands which was along the same lines and fascinating.

Sophist-UK: I know a french amateur did that for classical pianists and sells posters

That is why the relationships part of the MB data is so important.

that one I think: https://thepianistscorner.com/

As an aside, I once worked for the IT department of the UK Parliament. It was surprising how little semantic data they had on UK laws - and I tried but failed to persuade them to create a proper legal database which would enable them to map and navigate the legislative connections.

I wonder how many years of data gathering went into the piano poster as a single application, and whether (and how quickly) we could recreate that using MB data. (I suspect we couldn't as whilst we probably hold artist data for composers going back centuries, we tend to hold performer data for e.g. pianists based on the recordings in the database. And any pianists who pre-date audio recordings

and who were not composers or arrangers in their own right probably aren't in there.

I may be a few minutes late getting to the meeting as dinner is a little late today. But I will be there by the time people have gone through their weekly reports.

wow, the Neuhaus teaching tree is really impressive, so many high profile artists in there! good job loujine!

Sophist-UK: stupidname has been adding a lot of teaching rels so it might be better than you think

ruaok: confirmed on mobile (forgot my laptop cable in school, sigh) so please you run it

K, can do.

If freso doesn't want to if able...

Leo_Verto[m]: thanks

Sophist-UK, reosarevok: I'll have to apply the script to the main composers/teachers of the 19th century (Chopin, Liszt...) and see what's missing to reach the current generation :)

I suspect Liszt and Chopin should already reach it

Apply it to Boulanger!

Update: we're about to take off, and I don't know if we have plain Wi-Fi yet. So I will definitely miss the start of the meeting, but hopefully I'll catch you in 20-30 min... 🙏

reosarevok: excellent idea

While ruaok appears

bitmap?

hi

Coming

my turn?

yes.

Sure

thanks reosarevok

I worked on this script for dumping the db as json

thanks for that. I'll forward that in a bit.

(after recompressing it to something non-die-hard-geeks can uncompress)

to speed up the script I worked on MBS-6459 as part of it

MBS-6459: Allow multiple MBIDs for lookups in the webservice https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MBS-6459

but idk if we're going to allow that publicly

also, I spent a lot of time profiling the ws with NYTProf and made a bunch of improvements, which helped a lot

!m bitmap

You're doing good work, bitmap!
