      • It seems I'm slowly starting to understand what I'm supposed to be doing xD I'm currently toying with some UI code for search results written for earlier gsoc 2015 search project by ruchiranga (& bitmap). Idea is that most of the UI will be new (except search results components for artist & area entities). I still have quite little concrete to report but story continues next week ;)
      • reosarevok
        Ok I'll make sure to book a week at BCN then ruaok . That should be enough
      • ListMyCDs
        go ferbncode
      • ferbncode
        Hi :)
      • This week I worked on fixing my pull request for MB database access using the musicbrainz-test-database: https://github.com/metabrainz/musicbrainz-serve.... thanks to bitmap for all the great help.
      • ruaok
        book directly with the gelato shop. :)
      • ferbncode
        also, waving from city of Jamshedpur. roamed the weekend in kolkata and eastern India :D. so didn't do anything else :P.
      • fin!
      • yvanzo: Go!
      • yvanzo
        Well, I worked on admin tools to report spammers, but for the current job scripts will do.
      • Freso
        (First meeting we've had all five GSoC students review! 🙌)
      • yvanzo
        I also fixed an issue with admin revocation of user editing/voting, tried to debug tests renderer issue and reviewed PRs.
      • Freso: It was definitely not worth a DR. I just asked your opinion as an admin. :) CatQuest: Ticket is open to comments.
      • Finito, Leo_Verto[m]?
      • Freso
        yvanzo: Thought as much, hence why I removed it again. :)
      • Leo_Verto[m]
        Sure!
      • CatQuest
        eeh I'm just admin of instruments, nothing else :D
      • Freso
        (Do alastairp, Leftmost, or LordSputnik want to go? Anyone else?)
      • CatQuest
        or wait, i missread that :P
      • Leo_Verto[m]
        I spent most of last week preparing and then writing my Cambridge Proficiency exam which I feel went pretty well
      • Freso
        Leo_Verto[m]: English proficiency?
      • Leo_Verto[m]
        Yeah, if I pass, I'll have a certified C2 English level :D
      • I'd like to take some time during this meeting to talk about finally releasing the survey, can we add that to the agenda?
      • Freso
        Leo_Verto[m]: /topic is editable by anyone :)
      • Leo_Verto[m]
        not via matrix :/
      • Freso
        Leo_Verto[m]: But maybe it'd be better for next week with Quesito around?
      • Leo_Verto[m]
        Sure, that also works for me
      • Oh and I spent some time commenting on that HN post
      • fin.
      • samj1912
        Wrt summit, the more the merrier :D, I would love to meet everyone :D
      • Freso
        Alright, let's put it on next week then.
      • Leo_Verto[m]
        LordSputnik: go!
      • LordSputnik
        So I started this week in San Francisco
      • CatQuest
        well almost everyone
      • LordSputnik
        Met arthelon and anshuman73, which was great
      • Freso
        Did you bring chocolate?
      • LordSputnik
        We all had a fantastic time, learnt lots from Google and talked about MetaBrainz and BookBrainz
      • CatQuest
        \o/ bookbrainz
      • LordSputnik
        Freso: no but we didn't go short of food ;)
      • Freso
        Darn.
      • CatQuest
        unpopular oppinion: food is better thna chocolate
      • by just }{ much
      • LordSputnik
        anshuman73 and arthelon both gave a great joint presentation on MetaBrainz, and we got a nice mention by the guy in charge of open source stuff at Google
      • Leo_Verto[m]
        CatQuest: all food can be replaced by chocolate, as evident by the bar of Milka on my table right now
      • LordSputnik
        Then I came back, and fixed the bookbrainz-site testing
      • iliekcomputers
        LordSputnik: is there a video of the presentation somewhere?
      • LordSputnik
        And then merged a PR by arthelon which upgrades us to npm5 and fixes dependency versions that get installed. This makes the environment more reproducible between users
      • iliekcomputers: no but I took pictures
      • will upload soon
      • Now just working on fixing our coverage reporting, and then I'll be merging the new entity display pages and making a new BookBrainz release
      • iliekcomputers
        awesome
      • LordSputnik
        (the first since September!!)
      • fin.
      • TOPIC: MetaBrainz Community and Development channel | MusicBrainz non-development: #musicbrainz | Picard meeting (Tues, 18:00 UTC): Working document https://goo.gl/anENrc | MetaBrainz meeting agenda (now: 17 UTC!): reviews, MB User Survey (Leo_Verto/Quesito)
      • Oh, and one of the GCI mentors seems to be interested in helping out with BookBrainz
      • CatQuest
        whoo hoo!
      • Freso
        LordSputnik: Which one?
      • yvanzo
        LordSputnik: we are supposed to recruits students, not mentors :D
      • Freso
        (Which org.?)
      • LordSputnik
        FOSSASIA
      • Freso
        yvanzo: The GCI trip is not really the place to recruit students though. :) (And we could use more mentors!)
      • ruaok
        > the guy in charge of open source stuff at Google <- Chris DiBona. Our benefactor at OPSO. :) <3
      • Freso
        Alright. No more reviews on the table.
      • And we'll do the user survey item next week.
      • LordSputnik
        yeah Chris, he was a really interesting and friendly guy
      • Freso
        So nothing left for the meeting for tonight.
      • LordSputnik
        all the Googlers were :)
      • Freso
        </BANG>
      • Thanks for your time and attention :)
      • CatQuest

      • LordSputnik
        Yeah Chris recounted the whole Gracenote story in front of everyone
      • ruaok
        ohh, nice. :)
      • I had some people track me down in BCN the other for no other reason to hear the backstory and to buy me lunch.
      • Freso
        LordSputnik: And there's no video of it? Darn.
      • ruaok
        that was kinda nice.
      • we're starting to really make a difference in the world.
      • !m everyone!
      • BrainzBot
        You're doing good work, everyone!!
      • Freso

      • LordSputnik
        the guy I sat next to on the plane back worked in test automation and had hear of MetaBrainz
      • *heard
      • iliekcomputers
        :)
      • ruaok
        oh yeah, and we're waiting to sign yet another contract with a unicorn.
      • I think I need to quantify how much money I want in the bank before we hire another engineer.
      • CatQuest
        oh speaking of unicorns. .that reminds me of something..
      • Quesito
        Sorry-I just landed and realized I was off by an hour!

      • The meeting
      • CatQuest
        no problem littel cheese :D
      • Leo_Verto[m]
        Quesito: I was thinking that we should probably get started on a checklist for releasing the survey, stuff like linking it on social media accounts, making a blog post (?) and adding banners
      • Freso
        Leo_Verto[m]: Wednesday next week would be great for a blog post... :)
      • Leo_Verto[m]
