hello :)

Freso: Could I go next? I'm digging up a link, will be ready in 5 mins!

I thoguht \o was enough ot confirm :(

i can go

?

Freso: I'm about

iliekcomputers: go for it!

jwf: I already told you to go. :)

Oh, right.

this was a pretty productive week for me.

o/

Working on data dumps for both AB and LB

Opened a PR that should make it easier to have test dumps for dev environments in AB

Then, worked with ruaok on data dumps in LB, addressing code reviews and making changes accordingly

2-3 big PRs about that

Also, worked with jwf on his PRs (thanks!)

\o/

then, added a few LB GCI tasks

!m iliekcomputers

You're doing good work, iliekcomputers!

more to come

that should be it for me fin

!m iliekcomputers

You're doing good work, iliekcomputers!

My email has been on fire this week for the LB repo. :D I've been trying to follow the changes as they come in to understand the changes.

jwf: go

jwf: :D

So, three things from me:

(1) New-ish blog post from me about things I've been up to: https://blog.justinwflory.com/2017/11/listenbra...

Hi, I'm not here. Nothing to report

hi, not there.

(2) My next goals are to look more at the statistics side of LB. I've been playing around with one statistic to try and understand how they're composed, but it needs me to do research with the database structure of LB.

dad jokes 🤪

:D

Once I get an idea of writing one statistic, I want to write a proposal to evaluate what statistics are helpful to collect and then try to create a development plan around those statistics (feedback will be very welcome in this process).

Statistics are always lovely

!m jwf

You're doing good work, jwf!

jwf: I'd be happy to work with you on that

(3) Continuing to work with Freso on new LB posts for the blog too. I have one that I think is ready, but need to look again this week. I also have the LB development environment how-to on the blog, so we can publish that there too.

dumps are tricky to get right

Otherwise… <eof> :)

Oh, wait!

statistics for LB = AWESOME

Freso: Any work back on the WordPress.com sponsorship? Did you send that email?

jwf: No, and no.

CatQuest: That's really my passion for the project :) https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/LB-243

LB-243: Add support for tagging music with "emotion" words

Not a huge priority. But definitely helpful to have!

Matt, the creator of wordpress is an MB fan and has donated in past.

Okay, <eof> for real.

reosarevok: Go!

if that is relevant to this discussion.

ruaok: Oh, that's good to know… :)

that.. would be ?:O

Hi!

(People still up: bitmap, zas, ruaok, yvanzo, samj1912, Leo_Verto, chhavi_, CatQuest, LordSputnik – other people maybe up (please confirm): Leftmost, ListMyCDs, ferbncode; anyone else?)

hi!

I did https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/STYLE-856 and sent a PR for https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/STYLE-854

STYLE-856: Add Style / Cover Art

STYLE-854: Add http://laboiteauxparoles.com/ to the lyrics whitelist

(the cover art style is very basic stuff on Style/Release, nothing specific about cover art sizes or anything)

reosarevok: puh!

I also set a couple more tickets as depending on https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MBS-3993 which probably means won't happen in ages but eh, a human can dream

MBS-3993: Add medium format attributes

Other than that, support, a lot of editing

Oh and the poll on https://community.metabrainz.org/t/planning-for... is still open, last few days to comment on it!

Well, vote

reosarevok: when you have a decision lemme know. I will do a quick poster-ish thing to put on social media/blog :)

hmm dvorak!

Might be the last composer in a bit, I'm half-tempted to go with a label for the next one (either New World Records if loujine is ready with his part of that, or something like Chandos, Hyperion or the like with full booklets online)

But let's see what people think about that after this one :)

reosarevok: I liek that!

hyperion FTW

chhavi_: that sounds great :) Will do

Ok, I think that's it for now, CatQuest go

\O/

Still working on gci tasks.

!m reosarevok

You're doing good work, reosarevok!

fixing the long wrong "Rock Furore" release (notifinished)

leaving a hecka long feedback on the artist-redesign ticket (eh sorry everyone?)

jwf: No reason to use [off] for non-sensitive messages.

let see..

chhavi_ says?

CatQuest: Hope everything is okay!

CatQuest: I hope you all good :)

Hii

Freso: Ah, okay. I was doing it to avoid clutter in the meeting logs.

jwf: janno, *that* was sensitive :P

but anyway, yes

lolol, right :P

This week, after the discussion we had on Artist Overview page, I updated the mockups. More like redo it, since we are now making it more overview-y.

👍

We have had some amazing feedback so far. Especially CatQuest yvanzo zas and few other MB community members :)

I haven't had time to carefully go over the stuff but the comments I read sounded promising :)

So thanks to everyone who has actually had time to do that! :D

I also wrote a blog explaining our entities in simplest way possible. It's a narrative by a singer version of me in an alternate reality :p

:)

Here is the link: https://medium.com/@chhavi.justme/beginners-gui...

I really liked it chhavi_ !

link it!

I loved it :D

bah you beatm e to it :P

it's great

I like it a lot too. :)

maybe we can use this in gco it explain how the mb data links together?

Apart from that I set up a MusicBrainz Server for front-end development with help of samj1912 and bitmap . They were both very patient.

erg gci

At one time I might or might not have asked, "okay so how do I open my text editor?" :p

better to ask thna never know

haha

hehe yes! I guessed so too :p

there i no such thing as "stupid questions" etc

that would be it. fin! samj1912?

hello o.

\O/

CatQuest: yes me and Freso, also talked about the possibilities with it. maybe after meeting :)

most of this week, I was busy with IRL stuff, end sem times and all

👍

managed to sneak in a few hours to finally get https://github.com/metabrainz/sir/pull/55 merged

bitmap: thanks for the reviews :D

👍

nothing much apart from that

we are trying to come up with a better way to represent paths since this seems to be clearly getting out of hand

and I really want to find time to discuss the search schema

for the oslr search?

(sorr I 'm dumb)

helped chhavi_ with her MBS install

fin

bitmap: go?

hello

(People still up: zas, ruaok, yvanzo, Leo_Verto, LordSputnik – other people maybe up (please confirm): Leftmost, ListMyCDs, ferbncode; anyone else?)

CatQuest: yup

:D

!m samj1912

You're doing good work, samj1912!

I made some improvements to the caa-indexer's error handling and logging, which hopefully means it will crash less (and have more useful messages when it does), but we shall see

\o/ bitmap :)
