        Freso: do you have any preferences for when to roll out the survey? last time you mentioned Wednesday but I'm not sure if that was just that specific one or in general

        Gentlecat: weird, it works here. maybe docker-compose is unable to find the entrypoint script and shows help for `docker-compose run`? Is this run with the updated image?
      • Gentlecat
        which image? musicbrainz db? yes

      • Leo_Verto[m]: I like thinking that doing announcements on Wednesdays and Fridays are nice. (~50% of Mondays already have server release notes.)

        Hello :)
      • Freso
        Last week of June and first round of GSoC evaluations are up, I hear. Good luck! ;)
      • ferbncode: Go!

        This week I worked on the PR for using direct database for place entity. Updated the PR to use the mbdata project
      • Also, worked on showing external links and related place on place pages on CB. https://github.com/metabrainz/critiquebrainz/pu...
      • There were also a few misses in the ORM work which I fixed this week.
      • will try and fix the errors incoming in mb setup
      • fin!
      • iliekcomputers: Go! :)

      • Hi :)
      • A bunch of bug fixes and a cool feature addition to LB by me this week, also we have a community beta up \o/
      • Freso

      • iliekcomputers
        dunno if it's officially named that though

      • some other issues were LB-180, LB-183.
      • BrainzBot
        LB-180: Account for duplicates in the same RabbitMQ batch in influx-writer https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/LB-180
      • LB-183: Revert to old deduplication in influx-writer https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/LB-183
      • iliekcomputers
        Also, opened a PR for running queries on BigQuery although that is on the backburner for now until the beta

      • last week was a common theme: LB.
      • mostly chasing iliekcomputers with endless bugs and things to fix.
      • we've been damn fussy over getting things right and I think i tis paying off.
      • I'm pretty happy with the state of the codebase and think we can soon call it an official beta.
      • iliekcomputers

        that said, Quesito and I got together and did some planning.
      • culinko has quit
      • both short and medium term -- in particular we started talking about the summit.
      • Quesito always planning MeB World Domination.....
      • the only interesting thing that we agreed on so far, is that we should have a team meeting on thursday before the summit and then a community "break-out" day on friday.
      • during the breakout sessions we can have longer sessions on things like visualizations, ws/3.4.3, genres and other deeper topics.
      • the other thing we're realizing is that with so many new customers coming on, we really need to hire a part time UX person.
      • and to have this person really be integrated into the daily workflow of our projects.
      • some of the motivations behind this are interesting, and I'll let Quesito share those.
      • Quesito, go!
      • Quesito
        Hola!
      • samj1912 joined the channel
      • Last week I did a bunch of follow up accounting work. Got a few new supporters (although stealth so not public) into the QB system & invoiced. Also negotiated and finalized our renewed deal with BBC.
      • I finally (after a month)--finished the last of the accounting transition to following the fiscal calendar! So while we have about half a dozen accounts that still need a bit of clean up--our financial system is really organized and ready for the quarterly system of ease (I hope!).
      • ruaok
        !m Quesito
      • BrainzBot
        You're doing good work, Quesito!
      • Quesito
        :P
      • Other than that another unicorn has galloped through the door! And while the accounting side of things slows down, Iā€™m turning my focus to data vis, user survey and our home page, and our classical music enthusiasts!
      • Freso
        Public unicorn?
      • Quesito
        If we can conquer some of the more complex UX matters of classical music--perhaps the rest will be solved for, it an idea at the moment--and a lively discussion is happening on the forums!
      • ruaok
        not yet
      • Quesito
        Freso: when signed I believe so, currently negotiations
      • ah....I think thats a fin for me!
      • Freso
        It would be great to have classical people stop reinventing MusicBrainz with much less data. :)
      • Quesito
        Zas go!

      • he was busy. with loads of interesting stuff that can't really be public yet.
      • zas? you around?
      • maybe move on for now, pick one Freso
      • Quesito
        reosarevok: go!

      • reosarevok
        samj1912: go if around, I'll go after
      • Aeromarine
        I am looking for Zas as well
      • reosarevok
        Aeromarine: meeting now, wait 40 mins :)
      • Freso
        Aeromarine: We're in a meeting right now. Try pi... what reosarevok said. :)
      • reosarevok
        Ok, I guess I'll go
      • Mostly support and editing, but
      • I also finally took a good look at the data from NWR/CRI / DRAM
      • It's good. Worth looking into importing it. loujine: would you be maybe interested in looking into that?
      • Aeromarine
        Got it :) someone pass this message to him as I am at work, qnap just released a firmware update! And I will get hold of him after I get home.
      • reosarevok
        If so, let me know post-meeting
      • Other than that, I started my mini-work for the BBC, taking a quick look at how their classical editors are doing and improving anything they mess up :p
      • So far, not too awful, thankfully
      • colbydray has quit
      • A couple mistakes but nothing too bad
      • (Freso, maybe you can convince KEXP to do the same?)
      • (probably not but eh)
      • Freso wonders when drsaunders will be back from holiday
      • And I think that's about it
      • Freso
        reosarevok: I think the BBC has a lot more money than KEXP though :/
      • reosarevok
        Other than being active on the classical thingy that I will mention later
      • Gentlecat: go?
      • Freso
        drsaunders: Has still acted as unofficial "proof-editor", but if they don't take his comments/edit notes to heart...
      • Gentlecat
        didn't get to do much this week
      • Freso
        Eh. s/: H/ h/
      • Gentlecat
        done a bit of gsoc reviews and helping in the past couple of days
      • looked into indexing issues a bit more
      • bitmap: ?
      • bitmap
        I wrote a bunch of tests for dbmirror
      • including one for the issue that broke the replication packet a few weeks ago
      • Aeromarine has quit
      • and a few other tests the C code fails with (but not really issues we'd hit in practice)
      • Freso
        (People still up: zas, yvanzo, samj1912, psolanki, ListMyCDs; maybe up (please confirm): alastairp, Leftmost, LordSputnik, Leo_Verto[m]; others?)
      • bitmap
        also wrote a test implementation of pending.c in PL/pgSQL which passes all the tests, and did some benchmarks
      • samj1912
        o/
      • ruaok
        bitmap: I think this is really going to pay off in the future. :)
      • bitmap
        on my machine it runs within 91.5% of the performance of the C code, so I think it's worth testing further
      • especially 'cause it's 1/10th the size and in a safer/strongly-typed language
      • ruaok
        91.5% of slow is still slow. :)
      • loujine
        (reosarevok: probably yes)
      • Leo_Verto[m] is only here on mobile
      • bitmap
        I'm looking to narrow that gap further
      • but yes, I hope it pays off :)
      • other than that I fixed some issues with the template renderer going haywire (lsof was missing from the containers) and helped with other small sysadmin things
      • fin... ListMyCDs ?
      • ListMyCDs
        k
      • Still my main focus is on writing UI components and refactoring some of my earlier code (identifying potential stateless functions).
      • go psolanki!
      • psolanki
        hey
      • Continued my work on db queries and testing
      • It is close to completion
      • Freso
        šŸ™Œ
      • psolanki
        nothing more
      • go zas
      • Freso
        If zas has come around... no messages since last he was called on.
      • Lets go with yvanzo.
      • yvanzo
        Made first release of MusicBrainz Server, which mostly fixes bugs for work lyrics languages, that's about it.
      • Freso
        šŸ™Œ
      • samj1912
        o/
      • yvanzo
        Rescheduled measures against spammers, to be discussed with bitmap.
      • Otherwise have been very busy IRL.
      • samj1912: go!
