      • This week I mostly worked with LordSputnik and Leftmost to do mockups for BookBrainz
      • We made quite a progress :)
      • That's it. Will update later once we have more detailed mockups.

        this week I spent a lot of time on sir live indexing
      • which culminated in a problem for our postgres master :P
      • so we are thinking of scrapping the current live indexing method
      • ruaok
        so, that was the culprit? I never saw the ending.
      • CatQuest
        somehow i'm thinking anout ninja's and gurus whne i hear "postgres master"
      • ruaok
        samj1912: remember, batch updates are not an option.
      • samj1912
        we will be brainstorming this week on how to deal with it live indexing
      • yes :P
      • that's it from me
      • ruaok: go
      • ruaok

        I banged my head at deploying the metabrainz site, answered a few emails.
      • did a few PRs.
      • Wizzup joined the channel
      • not terribly much, this week I'm jumping back in. I already got the MeB site updated and tweeted about the 2015 report.
      • LB is my goal for this week to get a beta version running... and to help samj1912 figure out how to make the index updater work.
      • fin.
      • iliekcomputers?
      • iliekcomputers
        Lb beta would be great to get deployed.
      • Hi
      • Been busy with irl stuff this week, a few LB PRs and some code review. Nothing much else. Should be back in a few days. 
      • That's it for me.

      • Freso
        Trying to keep up with GCI and IRC and such, but haven't been as much around as I wanted.

      • I've been working with chhavi_, who has put together some great wireframes for BB. Things are progressing quite well there.
      • CatQuest
        :O
      • Leftmost
        I've also done some prelim work on dockerizing, which is going slowly because I have no idea what I'm doing, but it'll get there.
      • CatQuest
        bb mookups soon?
      • reosarevok
        Yay B

      • bitmap
        hello
      • I spent some time reviewing sir/solr stuff and helped with deploying things
      • submitted a bunch of PRs for converting things to React and improving Flow types
      • started cherry-picking changes from my alternative tracklists branch so I can get that in in smaller chunks; mostly related to Flow types it needs
      • Freso
        (People still up: anshuman73, zas, yvanzo – maybe up (please confirm!): LordSputnik, Leo_Verto, alastairp, ListMyCDs, ferbncode; anyone else?)
      • bitmap
        submitted a PR for metabrainz.org to improve the consul-template usage
      • ruaok
        thank you!
      • bitmap
        helped tame bowie yesterday, which was fully resolved after we did a VACUUM ANALYZE; so I think the problem was possibly due to the hot_standby_feedback option being enabled, in combination with heavy activity from sir
      • ruaok
        woah.
      • bitmap
        after than spent time reading about pgpool-II which is something we must switch to eventually in order to have a sane PG cluster that supports failover (which right now is impossible for us with our current docker setup)
      • ruaok
        is this another reason for us to get a move on to kubernetes?
      • zas
        it will not solve this
      • ruaok
        k
      • bitmap
        it doesn't depend on kubernetes but that might be a good time to switch it over
      • ruaok
        is pgpool a replacement for pgbouncer or yet another thing?
      • bitmap
        it replaces pgbouncer, it has connection pooling builtin, but also does many other things pgbouncer doesn't
      • ruaok
        ok, good, I like the sound of this.
      • bitmap
        like handling repliction, automatic failover, online recovery, etc.
      • ruaok
        great
      • bitmap
        it's much more complicated than pgbouncer though, and can have a high write performance overhead, something like 10-30%
      • ruaok
        ouch.
      • bitmap
        I guess we'll have to investigate it more
      • that's all, fin. zas next?
      • zas
      • first part of the week was about fighting myself (or my stupid body)... i feel better now
      • ruaok
        woo!
      • CatQuest
        awwwww
      • zas
        i upgraded many stuff: grafana, influxdb, nagios, and almost all servers
      • we have issues with size of docker logs, please, as dev, try to keep your logs not too verbose
      • i'm thinking about a solution, i'll tell more about it when i'll finished to evaluate the possibilities
      • bitmap
        I'll look into the mbs warnings soon
      • zas
        i helped with few server issues: bowie pg master overload, and yehudi freeze yesterday
      • i reviewed/merged a bunch of Picard related PRs (plugins/website/picard)
      • next ? yvanzo ?
      • yvanzo
        hi
      • I mostly reviewed JS updates (Lodash, React) and migration to React
      • fixed two small issues; continued the spam thing (delaying beta by one more week)
      • looked into bowie overload issue
      • finito; anshuman73?
      • anshuman73
        hi !
      • this week I mostly looked into GCI and handling my exams with it
      • Freso
        (Last chance for anyone to speak up if they want to give a review!)
      • naiveai
        me
      • anshuman73
        CB finally got some activity going on GCI wise which makes me happy, and we're picking up the pace
      • hopefully we'll try and finish out all the small tickets this GCI
      • next week shold be more productive with my exams over
      • should*
      • fin
      • naiveai: go
      • naiveai
        dunno if this is particularly important but anywho
      • last week was not as productive for me as I planned it to be
      • Freso
        naiveai: It's always nice to hear what community members have been up to. :)
      • naiveai
        upgraded the Cb editor to SimpleMDE, and got it merged, which is my first significant contribution to open source!

      • anshuman73
        yay \0/
      • naiveai
        also came up with the idea of language detection and implemented it
      • CatQuest
        \o/
      • naiveai
        thanks to excellent advice from anshuman73
      • anshuman73 is trying to test that rn
      • i'm going to be working on many non-coding tasks this week
      • also experimenting with the SQL charts thing
      • all in all committed to making this week a huge success and being more productive
      • finito.
      • Freso
        Alrighty then!
      • No one else has said they wanted to go for reviews, so let's move on!
      • naiveai: Consolidated contributing guidelines video
      • naiveai
        so
      • due to the high number of new contributors coming thanks to GCI
      • I was thinking that we should consolidate all our contributing information into one big video/document
      • right now, the spread out information may be confusing to newcomers
