chhavi_: :)

jwf: Anything more?

some of those things are really good, like the PR template

Anyways, cool, just wanted to bring that up. :) I'll work on adding the file to popular repos

If not, let's let Leo_Verto have his review and we can close the meeting a bit early and kartikeyaSh can have their word. :)

I might be able to do a PR template for LB too

<eof>

These are standard recommandations we almost already apply, fitting GH hooks is bs but if it enlights the project to potential contributors, sure :)

!m jwf

You're doing good work, jwf!

jwf: Thanks for bringing it up! I think it may well be worthwhile to do this, even if we're not 100% githubbers.

Yep, no problem :)

Leo_Verto: ... go? I guess. :p Or not.

I took the ping as my cue to go, sorry :P

I have a question about SpamBrainz… what is it for exactly? Fighting massive waves of spammers invading the MetaBrainz world?

Unless anyone feels like I missed them, let's call it a night.

What happened to warrant its creation?

jwf: Post-meeting discussion. :)

Which I guess it's time for now!

Thanks for your time everyone!

</BANG>

nice and short! :)

Leo_Verto: Do you want to explain SpamBrainz from your mobile?

kartikeyaSh: Meeting's over now. You had some question about our logos?

jwf: I guess that describes it pretty accurately. We've started seeing spammers on MusicBrainz that mostly post spam URLs in their editor bios but have recently also started creating spam entities

LB-212: Show the MetaBrainz logo on the listenbrainz footer.

which logo to use?

Probably because MB is very well indexed by Google and used by a bunch of services

kartikeyaSh: the only changes for v2 were text ones. For non-text logos like here, use the v1 logo with no text (the equivalent of the current MusicBrainz one in the footer)

ok

kartikeyaSh: https://github.com/metabrainz/metabrainz-logos/... :)

I see.

That said, that's assigned to jwf

Make sure he's not working on it before submitting stuff

Ahh, yeah, I did have the commits ready for that.

Anticipating this spam to get worse and possibly also affect other MeB projects, we're currently assembling a top spam ninja squad and working on automating spam fighting. SpamBrainz will handle the latter.

I was waiting to test in my development environment pending a fix by iliekcomputers

In that case, it might be better if kartikeyaSh works on a different good first bug :) Do we have more for LB?

But I could take a pass on that one, if kartikeyaSh wants to grab it :)

reosarevok: There are a few highlighted on the GCI page actually.

I wanted to handle that ticket but ruaok told me to leave it for GCI :P

kartikeyaSh: Are you here for GCI or GSoC or did you come across us in some other manner? P)

Leo_Verto: I'm not sure if this is helpful at this point, but in Fedora, the security officer for Fedora Infrastructure built a framework for dealing with spam when we got hit with it really hard (WordPress, wiki, Fedora user accounts, etc.). He built a tool called Basset that has worked really well for fending off spam using artificial intelligence. Perhaps this might be interesting for you. https://pagure.io/basset

It's worked really, really well for us… we haven't had major issues with spam since it was implemented

Plus, if you had questions, the maintainer is active here on freenode, either in #fedora-admin or directly as puiterwijk

Thanks, I'll definitely take a look at that!

Yeah, I think he was interested in helping other communities use it too

I think GNOME is using Basset as well now because they also got sneak-attacked by waves of spammers

Looks like it does have a mediawiki module too, so it could be easy to set up on the MusicBrainz wiki, but I don't know much about the technical details. Just thought it might be helpful because we literally went through the same problem last year

It would definitely be nice to make use of some tool that we're not the sole developers of. :)

Our wiki has military-grade spam protection already.

Freso: Yeah, this is being actively maintained by Fedora Infrastructure at the moment too.

jwf: if you are fine with it, i'll try to work on it. sorry, i didn't see the assignee field, i'm new to this

Freso: I honestly laughed at that

Leo_Verto: :)

Freso: for GSoC

kartikeyaSh: Cool. Nice to see you approaching us early. :)

kartikeyaSh: Feel free. :) On the ticket, you can remove me from the assignee and take it on yourself!

Or I can get it later, or maybe someone else in channel. I'm about to jump off now.

Freso: just wanted to get to know about the work environmet here :)

jwf okay

mom's spaghetti, best spagetthi, right freso?

[19:51] <Freso> Our wiki has military-grade spam protection already.

hah. hahahaha

[listenbrainz-server] kartikeyaSh opened pull request #273: Show MetaBrainz logo at listenbrainz footer (master...kar) https://git.io/vdDjh

We need a quote bot :)

jwf: https://github.com/metabrainz/botbot-plugins feel free to make a ticket and plugin :P

Oh, hmm, will have to take a look :)

To display random quotes or something else? I recently wrote a Sopel module to display quotes from a database, so could fairly easily convert it to this type of bot.

on that note, is there a small easy IRC logger service/bot I can use to log a channel?

one useful thing woldbe for any given mb entity (or bb for that matter) it would reply with the name of that entity

so if i say https://beta.musicbrainz.org/release/56896a34-6...

bot will reply with

"Gustav Mahler: Complete Edition"

I can probably do that

and something else, there are atleast two xkcd comics that are refrenced in here quite a lot, to be able t osay a thing to the bot and have i just fetch a link automaitcaly

lol :P

or even give us links ot things like guidelines whne asked

we need a key value store basically

Leo_Verto: any progress on this?

I use Sopel to do logging on my Canadian Football League Pool channel. The bot is available at https://sopel.chat/ and you can add/remove modules as required.

rdswift: I was thinking like the Quote plugin in Limnoria / Supybot: https://github.com/ProgVal/Limnoria/tree/master...

So you can take quotes from people in the channel and store them, and then get random quotes once you gather a few over time. :)

i thought that the fetch entity name uuid given ones would work similar to STYLE-111

STYLE-111: Add "Mixtape/Street" as a RG subtype https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/STYLE-111

jwf, different from what I was thinking. Thanks for clarifying.

Yup!

I like jwf idea too, infact, i love it

It's really fun for the channels I'm in :D

Makes for good memories and out-of-context quotes :D

could you be able to give it old quotes someone had said long time ag

Yeah, you just do: %quote add <text here>

since I've saved some in text files for a while. if anything funny happens i tend ot save it as text

well not all funny things :P

heh

ask perhaps.. hmm. maybe freso or ruaok or who is in charge of this

i for one wouldn't have a problem with it

Just let me know and I can invite the bot if that would be alright :)

(I'd hope I could pm it some old quotes though, since i have a few i'd love to add but i don't want ot spam the channs with old memories until it's time to quote hem :D)

Heheh, yep, you can :)

sweet

that would work for a xkcd thing too maybe

maybe not

but yea. ask day time tomorrow maybe. or evne next meeting

jwf: how does it work bte, can you make it come with a spesific quote by giving it e.g. a number?

CatQuest: Yeah, every quote is assigned an ID number, so you can also do: %quote get 25

And it would give you 25th quote.

sweeeet

If you'd like to poke around with it, the bot's nick is Fanshawe

so we could actually save a few often refreed to things

Yep :)

but would these quotes be chan spesific? i mena, if it has quotes for mtoher channel it'd make no sence

but tnhe agia nsharing between mb and meb makes sence

The quotes are channel-specific, but I think there's a way to have a global quote database…

Need to check on that.

meh "Fanshawe" doesnt respond at all :/

oh, how do you remove a quote?

Huh, really?

yea :/

maybe i'm not doing it right

CatQuest: Try "list" to see the different modules and plugins, and then "help <plugin name>" for details about it.

Can also see here: https://limnoria.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

huh

it says "Error: There is no command "quote". However, "Quote" is the name of a loaded plugin, and you may be able to find its provided commands using 'list Quote'."

great it's totally responding now

wat, it has a command "derp"

hahahaha
