Hi

Made a PR to refactor the web service code so we can move to a json ws without much problems

Also added some api helpers to support api calls easily

That's about it

alastairp?

(People still up: zas; maybe up (please confirm): alastairp, LordSputnik, Leo_Verto[m]; others?)

zas, alastairp, LordSputnik, Leo_Verto[m]?

given the topics on the agenda, we should move on.

Yeah.

zas: Please poke if you come around.

Leo_Verto[m], Quesito: MB user survey.

Hello! I'll be leading the way for the MB User Survey

we are getting ready for launch-and need to pick a date and time first

I'd prefer anything after July 1st (saturday)

June 28th noon UTC?

Oh.

5th of July? :p

I think Freso we have a bit of work for the launch that still needs to get done this week

ok--confirm--5th of July?

We need a blog post written for then...any takers?

Leo_Verto[m]: ?

Leo has limited access at the moment

He will be updating the forum post

5th sounds good to me as long as I don't need to wrie :p

*write

brie?

He can still write a blog post. And if he needs blog elevation, just poke me.

I'll be making a banner for mb.org

ruaok: yes please!

just you wait.

what is blog elevation? I'll take brie....

Permissions to post I imagine

gelato wird zu deinem verhängniss. :)

and we will try to do some social media posts

Or write a post, or whatever

give people blog access if they want it,

maybe not to pankakke, but just about anyone. :)

so when you post a blog--eating brie is necessary? I need to start blogging....

We're not really stingy with giving bloc access. :)

bloc of cheese?

you're right we're not.

Quesito: So if he gets perms, he writes?

Anything else that needs to get sorted tonight?

Are we planning to translate the survey at all?

I can't confirm for him, I actually thought you had volunteered to write the blog post Freso....so i donno.

into uzbek, certainly, right?

not at the moment reosarevok

Freso: see next Monday if someone has agreed to post, if so, schedule for 5th?

Quesito: I'm pretty sure I haven't... not the least because I don't really know much about the survey.

Yeah.

Alright.

!next

ruaok: spam review

we will also do some SM weekly reminders and the survey will be available for a month of time.

yvanzo and bitmap: I've seen loads of PRs flying about.

Good with sausage. A viking's favourite!

ok. done then!

Oh. Not that kind of spam review. Sorry.

can one of you two please give a review where we stand.

have the tickets from the previous volley been implemented?

have the scripts to nuke spammers been run?

also these survey results for anyone who is interested: http://www.i-programmer.info/news/136-open-sour...

I don't think any PR for a script was submitted, but the rest have been merged. I thought they were included in monday's release, but I see now they weren't

I can hotfix those today

but the PR for the spammer removal script is still coming, yes?

IIRC yvanzo was working on that, yes

ok, great.

don't worry about the hotfix.

Unconfirmed and spammers accounts can be removed this week without notice (resp. MBS-9357 and MBS-9358).

MBS-9357: Remove editors with confirmed email, but the email belongs to a spammer domain and the spammer domain https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MBS-9357

MBS-9358: Remove existing editors with no confirmed email within 2 weeks of account creation https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MBS-9358

we've not received any more take-downs from google.

ok, when you're sure that script is solid, please proceed.

MBS-9353 and MBS-9355 have PR for next release.

MBS-9353: Do not show collections or user profiles to people not logged in https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MBS-9353

MBS-9355: Do not allow an editor to set bio/link if the user is limited https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MBS-9355

ah, good. I guess because the /collection block in robots.txt was deployed already

then I can jump in and have another look at the current state of things

(actually PRs are in master branch already)

I'll collect more info and then we should circle the wagons and plan the next wave. zas is collecting some ideas and I want more thoughts from more people as well.

please ping me after the spammer removal script has been run.

Next?

Beyond that, I have been working on an admin UI for reviewing potential spammer accounts.

perhaps have some very informal report of what the number of accounts removed was?

Freso: onward, I think this is closing now.

Alright.

Freso: Picard meetings

thanks yvanzo and bitmap

zas, samj1912, Mineo, bitmap, Sophist-UK, ...

Yes, and I will save accounts data before removing it.

Yes im here

Can you expand on the topic?

Nobody "showed up" for last week's Picard meeting. Do we still want to have weekly Picard meetings, or are we far enough along now that issues can be taken up at these Monday meetings instead?

samj1912: Yes: ^

I think we have most of the stuff sorted out. And I will have to code all of it before we can proceed. Maybe we can continue when we feel the need for them again? Unless anyone else has anything they'd like to add or discuss?

Sounds good to me.

If anyone objects, we can take it up next Monday again, but let's call tomorrow off for now. :)

Okay

6 minutes for classical. this will be great.

Quesito: people are asking on the blog what's the action plan for the classicla thing

:-D

Do we actually have one? :p

one is emerging.

Actually the only thing on agenda is Sophist-UK s work thing. But he's been absent from irc recently

yes--writing tonight to continue the org portion

action plan:

They're asking about possible meetings, ideas, etc :) We should probably post about that

step one form group if interest

reosarevok: Point them towards forum topic to being with?

step two appoint leader.

Freso: *in* the topic

step three....blah blah--I'll respond in kind this evening

Oh.

(people want a more concrete action plan to concentrate on)

Quesito: ok :)

isn't it world domination?

that should always be step 3.

reosarevok: You were talking about "on the blog" :p

I've been reading but unable to sit and get some concrete responses in order...

Freso: oh. duh. post is what I meant

Right. :)

yes--apologies ruaok step 3 is ALWAYS world domination ;)

reosarevok: can you and I have a bit of a chat on this this week?

Sure

because we talked about what was needed for classical and the conclusion was "UX, not schema changes".

has that changed?

it might be cool to have your eyes on it before i post reosarevok

ruaok: we *might* want some schema changes at some point, but UX before schema changes at least for sure

ok.

Depends on what comes out of further discussion and whatnot :)

ok.

Quesito: ping me :)

might be good to close the meeting and then reosarevok and I chat for a minute.

Freso?

thank you reosarevok!

Sure.

I don't really have any closing remarks.

Thanks for your time.

</BANG>

thanks Freso

👍

woot!

reosarevok: so, the thing we need to the most out of this conversation is some concrete points.
