        (I"ve been trying to make an appointment to do it in person for about a month)
      • should have just done it online to begin with
      • Quesito
        poc a poc alastairp ;)
      • it's gonna change in a bit anyways, no? lol
      • alastairp
        I wonder if I can pay the tasa online too?!?
      • this is why I'm renewing... if it gets accepted I'll be resident in ES for 5 years

        too many cats around here.
      • reosarevok
        <bang> ?
      • Or am I in the wrong time?
      • ruaok is with reo
      • Guess we can start while we wait for Freso then?
      • Quesito
        rock it reosarevok!
      • reosarevok did support, and sent a PR for
      • reosarevok
        er.

        MBS-9469: Add autoselect for VIAF for places
      • reosarevok
        That
      • (an entire line!)
      • I'll soon add some more attributes for work-work part-of rels as per classical discussion on the forum, once orderable relationships are no longer borked
      • yvanzo / bitmap: let me know when that is in prod
      • Next! Quesito?
      • bitmap
        should be later today
      • Quesito
        vale!
      • hola!
      • reosarevok
        Dammit, too soon, now I have to work! Ok then
      • !m bitmap
      • BrainzBot
        You're doing good work, bitmap!
      • Quesito
        Last week we finalized the t-shirts first off! Woot!
      • Freso is here!
      • Leftmost trusts that his was "forgotten".
      • This of course was promptly changed, so apologies in advance as I know the community voted for white/natural color tee shirts, however we had some vendor issues and the compromise is heather grey tees.
      • Freso was finishing dinner and didn't see his alarm
      • The quality did not change. And they look pretty cool, in mind opinion--so I do hope this change suits all.
      • loujine
        I like it
      • Quesito
        I really appreciated samj1912 helping ruaok with airbnb--while i dealt with the tees changing!
      • thanks loujine! :)
      • Leftmost: I ordered one for you....we see. :)
      • samj1912
        Meeting?
      • Quesito
        Other than that, I reopened one unicorn conversation and opened up a second unicorn conversation. The later has been a bit tricky, but clean minds will prevail.
      • we are in it samj1912!
      • samj1912
        Oh, didn't see the bang, sorry
      • Quesito
        I have also continued to bring in 2 more stealths last week. The developer program I have implemented is working really well and it’s a really great way to start off supporter relationships that will hopefully lead to long term data-mances....:)
      • Chhavi_ and I are also trying to touchbase and organize UX. We will continue to try to do so--in hopes for some awesomeness and discussion at the summit!
      • Summit-wise: I await confirmation for our ‘night-on-the-town’ dinner (saturday 30th) reservations from Copesetic. If they are unable to seat us we will turn to Flax n Kale. Either have a variety of foods for all palates (although the later does not serve carne).
      • While we are planning presentations (the typical I‘ve been told--casual) is there any interest in a projector?
      • CardinalWolseley has quit
      • Freso
        (People still up: Freso, bitmap, zas, ruaok, yvanzo, samj1912, iliekcomputers; people maybe up (please confirm): alastairp, LordSputnik, Leftmost, Leo_Verto, CatQuest, ListMyCDs, ferbncode; anyone else?)
      • CardinalWolseley joined the channel
      • Quesito
        As I’ve been preparing my presentations--I’ve figured lots of data images as most think what I do is a bit boring….so projecting would be useful to me--does anyone else have interest in this?
      • Freso
        Quesito: Sounds neat! :)
      • Quesito
        I can bring mine to use--it’s also super easy to rent a set up in bcn. Let me know!
      • FIN!
      • Freso: Go Senor!

      • LordSputnik will be away today... Mostly just worked on entity editor, edition UI now done, just gotta write the form processing code which should take about an hour. Then onto the last two really simple editors :) Hoping to release a new site version just before the summit
      • ...
      • I guess LordSputnik went first then.
      • alastairp
        I have stuff to say, but am out doing papeleo, better to wait until the summit
      • Freso
        Anyway.
      • Spent quite some time on reported editors as well.
      • s/as well/again this week/
      • Did a Discourse upgrade (and had one Discourse upgrade done for me by zas :p).
      • And otherwise spent time on forums and IRC.
      • Off-clock, I also continued my MusicBrainz editing (and not a wee bit of programming) streaming.

        I'm currently traveling to the city of Chandigarh to collect my passport from the visa office.
      • Worked on two issues this week: LB-208, LB-209
      • Only kinda sorta MetaBrainz related but I gave a talk on GSoC for SFD this week and I did some MeB promotion there as well. :)
      • Other than that, busy with exams.

        I am in the process of sourcing root beer and whiskey for the summit. If anyone wants anything else from Montana, now's the time.
      • reosarevok
        Is there anything else in Montana?
      • Leftmost
        Quesito gets root beer if she's very nice. Alastair gets some anyhow. If anyone else wants some, also let me know that.

        Fin. bitmap?
      • bitmap
        hi
      • I fixed some compression issue with the json dumps...
      • after we started including isrcs in the release dump, the file size ballooned from 2+ GB to 9+ GB for some reason...I got rid of pixz and am using a compiled xz-utils now and it's back to 2+ GB
      • (didn't use xz-utils to begin with because xenial's is old and doesn't support threading)
      • worked on some PRs to add static types to our JS and port more things to react
      • relatedly was trying to fix MBS-8453 again by porting bits of the relationship editor to react
      • BrainzBot
        MBS-8453: Work parts sometimes disappear after checking "These relationships have a specific ordering" https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MBS-8453

      • bitmap
        helped with the server upgrades on thurs and fixed some stuff in the aftermath
      • some of the hourly scripts broke because bzip2 was missing from the new images, including the one generating replication packets, but I was able to recover those from the temp dirs fine
      • ruaok
        phew
      • bitmap
        fin. zas next?
      • zas
        Start of week was about preparing a series of upgrades on all servers: docker, consul, consul-template, and important cpu firmware upgrade on intel machines.
      • we proceeded with bitmap on thursday, it went pretty smooth until last upgrade ... ;)
      • we messed up main postgres server upgrade by forgetting a simple health check binary in the image
      • it was fixed as soon we figure out what it was... but the blackout was much longer than expected
      • after that we fixed minor issues related to upgrades, now everything is fine
      • Freso
        🙌
      • zas
        some of our servers were lazy at reboot time, it slowed the process
      • but overall, all servers are now in sync (same docker version, latest consul, and firmware fixes done)
      • Quesito
        !m bitmap and zas!
      • BrainzBot
        You're doing good work, bitmap and zas!!
      • zas
        apart that, i did a bunch of MB edits, and usual supervision
      • next ? samj1912 ?
      • samj1912
        Hi
      • Most of my week was spent on midterms
      • Learnt about our server deployment setup from zas an read on about solr
      • Also chhavi says
      • Chhavi says she is a bit caught up with the mid terms, but has on her mind a teeny presentation on design buzzwords/flow which she will like to present at the summit , if everyone is up for it. :)
      • Apart from that, Quesito and I will touch bases on UX. Chhavi says bye, and see you again.

      • Last week, I reviewed more PRs, fixed more small tickets, getting started with deleting spammer accounts.
      • fin
      • Freso
        (Ping: CatQuest, Leo_Verto, ListMyCDs, ferbncode, anyone else who may want to do a review.)
      • I guess no one's left then.
      • bitmap: supported browsers
      • bitmap
        oh
      • we haven't updated these in a while, so I calculated new ones
      • safari dropped to 9.0
      • chrome stayed at 44
      • edge bumped up to 14
      • Freso
        Safari... dropped?
      • bitmap
        ie stayed at 11
      • firefox stayed at 44
      • Freso
        So we're supporting an older version now than we did 6 months ago?
      • bitmap
        yeah, though I don't remember if it actually dropped or if we decided to just support the newest point release of 9.1.
      • of 9.x
      • opera isn't anywhere above 0.5% but the version with the most share is now 43
