I worked on AB a lot this week, had a quite productive discussion with alastairp on what we need to do to get AB data dumps working again. I then spent a some time reading AB code and understanding the schema. Working on AB-315 for now. Also opened a few small PRs on LB, but now that stuff is being reviewed again, I'll start focusing more on LB again.
The MetaBrainz Foundation had a board meeting on Friday, so as Secretary of the board, I also did some work surrounding that.

We got the news on Thursday that we're in for another round of Google Code-in, so that also took some of my time. I'll talk more about GCI later (expect that to be a recurring agenda item for the next several weeks :)).

So this week I worked with bitmap to complete the rest of Solr project.After 115 commits and 40 PRs this month, We are now at feature parity with the current search server and I have also solved all the blocking bugs and tickets.Atleast the ones Mineo and Gentlecat told me about and the ones me reo and bitmap figured out. Only Just https://github.com/metabrainz/sir/pull/53 Is left to be merged. Apart from that I also learnt a lot

I also helped bitmap with creating a test dump

Which involved me going through our entire db

I mostly explored the "release" pages. Edited a personal video about a summit during the weekend. Link is here: https://youtu.be/sxCzHCOb4NA
