        ferbncode: If you make changes based on alastairp's suggestions, please make them directly in Wordpress, rather than copy/pasting from Google Docs (or whatever WYSIWYG you're using).
      • ferbncode: Let me know once you're done.
      • samj1912
        ListMyCDs: I think you have to write a final work product report to qualify for the final eval.
      • Freso
        ListMyCDs: IIRC, you need to have some kind of public document describing what you did during the GSoC.
      • ListMyCDs
        sure but I just won't do that on MB blog
      • Freso
        A lot of people opt to do this in the form of a blog.
      • iliekcomputers
        Freso: I would like to go first with the blog posts if that's okay :D
      • Freso
        iliekcomputers: I was going to do ferbncode, then you, then psolanki, and finish off with samj1912.
      • (So the two CB ones are not back-to-back. Variety!)
      • iliekcomputers
        ah, okay then. no problem :)
      • psolanki
        Freso: cool
      • And thanks for the edit. Looks complete now.
      • iliekcomputers
        Freso: https://blog.musicbrainz.org/?p=6546 is a permanent link though, right?
      • samj1912
        I dont think its visible to the public however
      • iliekcomputers
        but it'll be as soon as it gets published (?)

        iliekcomputers: Yes. That link will work as long as "blog.musicbrainz.org" is using WordPress. :)
      • *Wordpress
      • Actually, I don't even know which of the two they use. 🀷🏼
      • iliekcomputers
        Freso: cool, thanks. I'll just fill the GSoC eval form with that then :)
      • iliekcomputers doesn't want to leave it to the last day
      • Freso
        iliekcomputers: Good call. :)
      • When's the deadline? Friday?
      • iliekcomputers
        Tomorrow :)
      • almost exactly 24 hours left :P
      • Freso

      • xps2_ joined the channel
      • ferbncode: Please ping me ASAP! I'm leaving the laptop be a bit to try and get packed some more before meeting.

        Freso: I'm not sure if I can attend the meeting today. Shouldn't really matter since I've done effectively nothing but critical emails.

      • Gentlecat
        Freso, psolanki: I might be able to today or tomorrow
      • psolanki
        Gentlecat: Perfect timing for your message
      • I was just about to submit the final evaluation
      • Gentlecat
        keep in mind that I'm pretty much completely off the grid until next week
      • Freso
      • psolanki
        If possible, can you do it today because its less than 24 hours till the deadline and I have a busy day at university tomorrow.
      • Freso
        Gentlecat: That's perfect. I plan on pushing psolanki's post live on Wednesday, so as long as it's before then, that's perfect.
      • ferbncode
        Freso: wooho \o/. thanks :)
      • Freso
        psolanki: You can submit the GSoC thing using the ?p=... URL.
      • No need to wait for us to do minor nitpicks.
      • Gentlecat
        what do you want me to look at actually?
      • if that's something not very important feel free to not wait for me
      • Freso
        ruaok: Roger.
      • psolanki
        As Freso said, I can submit the url and we can do minor changes later. No issues

      • """
      • ruaok: Go!
      • (In case your connection decides to flake out.)
      • ruaok
        mostly faffing about.
      • sitting in BFE, going hiking, enjoying mother nature.
      • keeping up with critical emails, paying stragglers, doing emails.
      • not much of substance.
      • I should be back in the office on thursday. the rather long slog home starts tomorrow.
      • fin. Gentlecat?
      • Gentlecat
        didn't do anything apart from a bit of reviews

        today I proof-read ferbncode's blog post, and started looking at the stuff that he and Gentlecat worked on the last few weeks
      • with the goal of closing up all of these PRs as soon as possible, preferably before the end of the week

        hi
      • I was fixing an issue with the json dumps, isrc codes were missing from recordings in the release dump
      • was also cleaning up the code so it can finally be merged into master, it's just been running off a separate branch

      • I will complete my final GSoC evalution later today. On my submission I will include only necessary data about the project so it won't be that reader-friendly. MB blog wouldn't be a right place for it. When the project finishes I will write a longer report which will cover more detailed experiences with it. I will share a link to my submission on next monday meeting.
      • I've enjoyed my summer with the project and believe I enjoy continuing with it even more without the deadlines. I really appreciate the opportunity I've been given. Special thanks to my mentor Bitmap who's been always available when necessary. I've been amazed about the work done by the other GSoC participiants and hope to see many of them participating also after the summer.

        Hello *
      • i fixed an issue on kiki, reported in early morning by ruaok, gateway was totally dead, the exact reason is unknown, but nginx container somehow crashed
      • while i was at it i upgraded openresty & stuff
      • some certs were updated too
      • i documented basic procedure to switch between gateways (kiki & herb) if it happens again
      • i did security upgrades on all servers
      • our whole system is pretty stable now, we had to move jenkins to williams due to lack of disk space on serge
      • but williams is slower, we'll have to find a better solution
      • i also updated few grafana graphs
      • that's all, who's around next ?
      • reosarevok: ?
      • reosarevok
        I did support, including a bit of stuff for Quesito while she was away
      • (zas, ruaok: did you see the email I sent you re: that and the search server btw?)
      • Other than that, just a loooot of keeping up with my edits
      • I'm flying to Sweden on Saturday, will find out on Monday how much time I'll have the following week, probably enough for support anyway
      • I also thought a bit about doing genres and stuff but won't have time to start anything re: that yet

        hello
      • Freso
        I've mostly been dealing with sickness and upturned sleeping schedule, but I've kept up with forums and IRC.
      • I also made an edit that's caused a lovely amount of discussion: https://musicbrainz.org/edit/47473544 - potentially merging Cat Stevens into Yusuf Islam (if it goes through).
