        Let's start off with our BDFL, ruaok:
      • """
      • - Worked with Quesito to make lodging arrangements for the summit.
      • - Worked with Samj, Param and Chhavi to make visa arrangements.
      • - Started, but didn’t finish some LB code reviews.
      • - Discussed the KEXP situation with various people, trying to find a better way forward.
      • - Ate a lot of dutch snacks and saw many cute things in little Amsterdam, but didn’t do a lot of work.
      • - Back to BCN tomorrow.
      • """
      • And iliekcomputers has this to say:
      • """
      • Worked on statistics for LB this week! Opened a big PR, which calculates statistics for users, not ready to merge yet but close. Link: https://github.com/metabrainz/listenbrainz-serv...
      • Did some more work on stats too, but it isn't committed or pushed yet.
      • """

        okay :)
      • chhavi__
        hello!
      • ferbncode
        This week I worked on fixing the sentry error (https://sentry.metabrainz.org/share/issue/342e3...) which was due to sqlalchemy's autoloading and sending update queries. Working on this also solved (partially) CB-130.
      • BrainzBot
        CB-130: Add support for MBID redirects https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/CB-130
      • Freso
        (Quesito, chhavi__: do you want to add an agenda item for discussion after reviews?)
      • ferbncode
        Also, completed the PRs for using direct database access for artists (https://github.com/metabrainz/critiquebrainz/pu...) and events (https://github.com/metabrainz/critiquebrainz/pu...) (all five entites are finally done \o/).
      • Quesito
        Up to chhavi__
      • CatQuest
        \o/
      • ferbncode
        Also, made modifications to the PR https://github.com/metabrainz/critiquebrainz/pu... to sort the release groups of an artist by release year(putting release groups with no release year at the end) which is a step for solving CB-80.
      • BrainzBot
        CB-80: Artist albums don't have a discernable sort order https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/CB-80
      • ferbncode
        that's all for me. CatQuest: Go!
      • CatQuest
        :O
      • not much, just doing loads of debussy.

        (People still up: Freso, reosarevok, bitmap, Gentlecat, zas, Quesito, yvanzo, samj1912, psolanki, ListMyCDs; maybe up (please confirm): LordSputnik, Leftmost, Leo_Verto, alastairp, chhavi__; anyone else?)
      • samj1912
        Hello o/
      • Mineo
        zas (or jesus2099, if he's reading the backlog): would you mind translating https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/SEARCH-449 for those of us who don't speak french after the meeting?
      • BrainzBot
        SEARCH-449: SYMPHONIE n° 1 Gustav Malher - Yvan Fischer (erreur de saisie)
      • chhavi__
        Yes, it would be nice to discuss some design in general and maybe decide if we need a meeting to discuss design separately to fasten this process. :) What do you think Quesito ?
      • CatQuest
        Mineo: i've been thinknig that maybe we should tell peopel to include an english translation by defualt (if they write in non-english)
      • Quesito
        That sounds perfect chhavi__ !
      • samj1912
        worked on getting picard-plugin-tools online (https://github.com/metabrainz/picard-plugin-tools) the CLI is up and running and can now be used to package stuff via the new manifest plugin thing we have going on
      • will be working on its integration with picard next
      • that's it for me
      • zas ?
      • zas
        Hey
      • Freso
        samj1912: The README could use some work. :p
      • samj1912
        Freso: yes :P
      • zas
        Usual server maintainance, security upgrades mostly
      • CatQuest
        Mineo: google translate seems to indicate that this is a thing that is *editable* (ie they're coplaiing that this linked entry has errors )
      • Freso
        CatQuest: After the meeting please? :)
      • CatQuest
        yea sure ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
      • zas
        Queen was rebooted, after bunch of upgrades, in an attempt to fix an issue we have with one container (mb website vs redis), but it didnt help, no clue atm
      • Also worked with samj1912 about last step of his GSoC project, that is mainly plugins V2 stuff
      • CatQuest
        !m zas and samj1912
      • BrainzBot
        You're doing good work, zas and samj1912!
      • zas
        We had unusual traffic on the website during saturday's evening (EU time), due to some stupid scraper, issue on my radar, i'll take proper measures if it gets out of control
      • It caused significant load on bowie (db server), showing a potential lack of caching related to tags queries, we'll see with bitmap if there's something to improve
      • That's it. Next .... Quesito ?
      • Quesito
        hola!
      • zas
        Mineo: not even sure i understand the ticket ;)
      • Quesito
        last week I did the usual supporter emails, et all.
      • I also helped with airBnB's and visa stuff for the summit. AirBnB's are booked. and thanks to our BDFL hopefully the visa letters are set!
      • I also spent some time working on MeB foundation paperwork, of which still needs some help.
      • and then i got to meet some of the team out with ocharles and gemma! which was very lovely!
      • fin!
      • reosarevok
        I like that the visa stuff is basically "LOOK AT ALL THESE NAMES YOU'VE HEARD OF, LET OUR GUY IN"
      • Quesito
        reosarevok: go!
      • reosarevok
        ocharles: come cycle in Estonia next time, it's nice here ;p
      • reosarevok did support and classical editing, mostly
      • Quesito
        yeah--I mean I've beeing dealing with immigration and ucstons for 10 years...basically the more legal and impressive should work fine.... :D
      • customs
      • reosarevok
        Also reviewed the whole KEXP issue with ruaok a bit, and I'm now trying to translate the visa request letter into acceptable Spanish
      • I'm planning to deal with some style soon, I see hibiscuskazeneko has a lot of things she wants me to look into :D
      • Gentlecat
        zas: SEARCH is not SOLR
      • reosarevok
        That's about it from me. yvanzo, go if around, if not then Gentlecat
      • TOPIC: MetaBrainz Community and Development channel | MusicBrainz non-development: #musicbrainz | MetaBrainz meeting agenda: reviews, UX design opening discussion (Chhavi_ & Quesito)
      • Gentlecat
        not much apart from CB reviews
      • yesterday worked on some improvements for CAA redirect
      • got a better error tracking now and some other things
      • tried debugging an issue in CB which causes it to not work with the spotify api properly
      • upgraded jenkins and sentry
      • fin. psolanki?
      • psolanki
        ok
      • I continued the frontend work, facing some problems but will be resolved soon
      • Finding the right plugin
      • Gentlecat
        what's wrong with the current plugin?
      • psolanki
        I tried what was suggested but facing some difficulties
      • Also, that plugin is not very flexible
      • ws and docs part still to do this week
      • fin.
      • Gentlecat
        you should tell us what the difficulties are then, otherwise we cannot help
      • but let's discuss that separately
      • yvanzo has nothing to share but a wise advice: do not smash black kitten with a mirror under a ladder, and to bitmap: back.
      • Freso
        yvanzo: "nothing to share" is also something to share.
      • psolanki
        yes, I will convey them on the PR and what to do next
      • bitmap
        yvanzo: wb again :)
      • psolanki
        ListMyCDs: go?
      • ListMyCDs
        k
      • Freso
        (People still up: Freso, bitmap, ListMyCDs; maybe up (please confirm): LordSputnik, Leo_Verto, alastairp, chhavi__; anyone else?)
      • ListMyCDs
        Almost the same story as on last week. Testing and fixing some issues. Some cursing with Perl. In next couple of days I will also add Less/CSS style which is basically a copy of the style of edit search.
      • Quesito
        yvanzo: are you planning on coming to the summit?
      • ListMyCDs
        go bitmap!
      • bitmap
        ok
      • yvanzo
        Quesito: yes
      • bitmap
        I mostly worked on bringing back selenium (browser automation tool) so we can write proper UI tests again
      • there's a PR up that still needs work
      • Quesito
        :+1 yvanzo: please let me know (or update the wiki) as soon as possible with flight info etc!
      • bitmap
        I also worked on alt. tracklists, but was making a lot of changes that became very tedious to test. so, I wanted to write some basic UI tests first, and switched to selenium stuff
      • Gentlecat
        zas: oh, I didn't notice that it was attached to the solr component
      • bitmap
        fin. Freso?
      • zas
        Gentlecat: ignore, i sort it out (i think)
      • Freso
        🙋
      • Gentlecat
        we should probably remove that component since there's a separate project
      • Freso
        I've almost caught up with the meeting notes I've been behind.
      • Only last week's and tonight to do now.
      • khan_ joined the channel
      • Gentlecat removed it
      • I dealt a slight bit with some editor reports. Still all the "heavy" ones to deal with though.
      • ZarkBit joined the channel
      • Oh, and I also has drinks and dinner with former MusicBrainz dev ocharles, his girlfriend, and Gentlecat and Quesito. That was a lovely evening. Had ocharles and SO visit the office the day after. :)
      • khan has quit
      • Other than that, just catching and keeping up with IRC and forums.
      • fin. ListMyCDs, go!
      • Oh wait.
      • LordSputnik, Leo_Verto, alastairp, or chhavi__: Any of you around and want to do a report? If not we'll move on to Quesito and chhavi__'s agenda item.
      • I guess not.
      • chhavi__ & Quesito: UX design opening discussion
      • Quesito
