I want to stop finding more things for us to do and release the beta.

ruaok: that's up to the api server to accept/deny, but we always have the possibility to add rules on gateways if needed (but that's not my preference, since gateways should not do too much processing). For MB we do a lot of stuff on gateways that should be made on backends (because they scale better therorically), for example for rate limiting stuff we have
on mb ws is hacky because we generate api responses, and it duplicates code somehow). There are historical reasons, but that's something we'll need to improve for next gen ws

(touring the national archives - just saw some original document signed by Napoleon, fancy!)
ruaok
k.
thinking about New World/CRI... do you think their metadata might be good enough to actually do a mass import?
reosarevok
I'll need to see it first
Do we have an email sample?
ruaok
no, I'm wondering wether to even consider that option.
let me not put it on the table for now.
reosarevok
I'm willing to consider it
I'm definitely interested enough in the data to try and massage it a bit
ruaok
should I ask for a dump and then see?
reosarevok
So if there's no hurry, this is the kind of thing where I wouldn't mind adding some stuff myself every week if it can't be autoadded
Yeah please :)

Hi people!
Welcome to the first meeting at the new meeting time. :)
CatQuest

Freso
CatQuest: Go! :)
CatQuest
:O
This week I released the "next" fix version, started writing up the upcoming instrument blogposts, and finished the Taonga pūoro instruments! Thanks to Freso and reosarevok for helping me!
Thank you everyone that voted and helped make this a great consensus!
* extra thanks to freso who voted no to keep it open but "for the record: agreed with this edit. "
reosarevok
:)
CatQuest
\o/ lækkert!
next is... why not freso?
Freso
🙋
Spent time on IRC and forums, went through a bunch of spam accounts and deleted them while collecting data, handled some reported editors, upgraded Discourse, removed some DMCA reported spam and spam on Jira, attended Picard meeting.
I think that's about it. ruaok, go!
ruaok
hola!
last week was a lot of BS contracts, paper work and silly shit. not terribly interesting.
but, we have JSON data dumps starting to appear now.
which is really really cool and something that people have wanted for a long time.
on top of that we have incremental JSON dumps that will be happening soon.
Freso
Are we doing Excel dumps next? :p
CatQuest
ಠ_ಠ
Quesito
will json dumps be avail for all supporters?
ruaok
so, soon people will have two choices for staying up to date with, which may get us more customers, since our data becomes easier to consume.
Quesito: yes!
Quesito
awesomesauce!
ruaok
Freso: interestingly enough, the artist dump, which is most requested, could conceivably be imported into excel.
which, shudder, may make some people very happy.
Freso
Heh.
CatQuest feels reosarevok should make a "(J)Son" dad-joke here
ruaok
oh, we have a kitchen sink at the office now.
so we can do dishes and fill up the brita without doing contortions.
CatQuest
everything and the kitchen sink too?
Freso
Yes, it is very handy. 👍
ruaok
and there is another unicorn on the horizon, which makes me very happy.
Freso
🙌
ruaok
but, we have a lot of BS stuff moved out of the way, so I should have more time for LB stuffs.
CatQuest
less BS stuff, more LB stuff!
ruaok
also, I'll be AFK from June 8 - June 16.
I'll be working minimal hours -- mostly checking email and such. but really mostly eating. :)
iliekcomputers
where to? :)
ruaok
also, our finances are looking really nice. thanks to Quesito!
CatQuest
FoodLand?

BrainzBot
You're doing good work, Quesito!
Quesito
thanks! :P
ruaok
I've promised the board to go easy on expenses for a while and hoard a little more cash, but if things continue we have more money for another engineer. also, we should start doing UX stuff soon.
fin!
Quesito: go!
Quesito
hola!
last week, jet lag hit me pretty hard, and I slacked a bit...
mainly kept up with emails and accounting q's
and did some help with ruaok on the BS stuff, which was exciting to see finalize
I'll be setting up the social media banner contest this week!
and need to get back to some forum discussion too...
fin!
reosarevok: go!
reosarevok
I did support, made a few changes to style/artist since someone added a ticket notifying me of it being inaccurate
Finally submitted my graduation paper (only the defence left)
CatQuest
defence?
zas
\O/
reosarevok
CatQuest: talking about it for 10 min in front of a panel
CatQuest
:s worst part
reosarevok
Nah I'll bullshit something, writing it was much worse
Today and tomorrow I'm checking an archivism conference in the National Archives here in town, which is pretty cool
(also lots of good cake)
That's about it
I talked to bitmap about maybe doing a bit of TT to react work now that I have more time
Let's see how that goes
zas, Gore|woerk
... just go, sorry Gore|woerk
zas
ahah
well, usual supervision and minor fixes, security upgrades
worked on a tool to extract interesting numbers from our fat mb logs
started a deep analysis of it, looking for heavy low hanging fruits to reduce unneeded/unwanted traffic on our resources-hungry website
found out that Yahoo Slurp is 25% of hits
ruaok
sheesh
CatQuest
slurp???
zas
and i'm working with bitmap to modify robots.txt
slurp is the yahoo bot indexing pages
CatQuest
lol wtf
zas
it indexes /track/ which are mostly redirects (303)
CatQuest
oh dear
zas
and don't even get the target url
ferbncode
Freso: o/
zas
so we can skip 87k hits a day
CatQuest
wow
Freso
ferbncode: Darnit. I'm sorry. >_<
zas
just for this bot
also worked a bit on Picard, attended to tuesday's meeting, answered few bug reports
fixed (partially) plugins api issue on new picard website
ferbncode should have kept a nick close to his name ;)
i think that's all
bitmap ?
bitmap
hi
samj1912 is here
CatQuest
\o
bitmap
mostly worked on finishing the json dumps, those seem to be working fine now so I enabled cron in the container and the incremental ones have been generating for the past couple days
