      • there was a small stats bug stopping calculation that I fixed
      • we now have stats on beta.listenbrainz.org btw :)
      • other than that, I setup Jenkins for AB and worked with alastairp on making use of flask cli in AB

        hi
      • mostly worked on PICARD-1177 and PICARD-1184
      • BrainzBot
        PICARD-1177: Add a button to remove plugin https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/PICARD-1177
      • PICARD-1184: Currently picard shows weird things if you click install plugin option multiple time https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/PICARD-1184
      • Freso
        (Only LordSputnik is left. If anyone else wants to give a review, now's the time to say so!)
      • vishichoudhary_
        and other PICARD related stuff
      • that's it from my side.
      • LordSputnik, go
      • LordSputnik
        Otherwise you'll have to put up with me ^
      • Ok
      • Freso
        vishichoudhary_: Are you the same as darkhorse?
      • LordSputnik
        This week I did a lot more work on the BookBrainz relationship editor
      • Freso forgot
      • vishalchoudhary[
        Yes
      • Freso
        Cool. Sorry LordSputnik :)
      • LordSputnik
        Everything works within the UI now, just need to add the editing/deleting stuff for existing relationships
      • But I want to clean up the code a bit before I move on to the server processing of relationships from the form
      • I also did a schema change, and added over 40 new relationship types :)
      • (locally - this will go live when the relationship editor goes live)
      • fin!
      • Freso
        And no one else has said they wanted to do reviews, so...
      • Freso: Google Code-in
      • 🙋
      • So Google Code-in is now officially over and all winners and finalists have been published. :)
      • CatQuest
        GCI Finalists Hype!
      • Freso
        Congratulations to naiveai[m] and haruute[m] for the grand prize winning!
      • LordSputnik
        Great work guys :)
      • Freso
        And congratulations to spellew and kartikohri and Enjeck for the finalist spots!
      • And congratulations to all the other students that completed tasks for us too!
      • samj1912 got his mentor certificate too today
      • CatQuest also got this :D
      • I feel like this year was the toughest one to pick out the top 5 from so far, so sorry to all the really close contenders, but in the end, we could only choose five. :(
      • CatQuest
        indeed
      • Freso
        In all we have had 741 tasks done. *A lot* of these were data entry ones, and *a lot* of these were handled by MajorLurker who stepped in at the beginning of the contest to help us out as we realised we were getting into deep waters.
      • *All* our mentors have done great jobs, but I really want to highlight MajorLurker in particularly for stepping in and providing breathing room for the rest of the team.
      • CatQuest
        absolutely
      • Freso
        Apparently he isn't here right now though. Ah well. :)
      • CatQuest
        +100 MajorLurker
      • !m MajorLurker
      • BrainzBot
        You're doing good work, MajorLurker!
      • Freso
        GCI was also a bit crazy for me, as it happened right on top of me moving country as well, so everything was kind of disruptive. Thanks a lot to gcilou for acting as co-general-org. admin as well. She's really climbed the ladder. :)
      • CatQuest
        he's vacationing in Bali :D
      • Freso
        Ah, right, yeah.
      • CatQuest
        wtg gcilou
      • Freso
        I think that's about what I wanted to say. I hope GCI students haven't been too disruptive. :)
      • !m everyone for your patience
      • BrainzBot
        You're doing good work, everyone for your patience!
      • bukwurm joined the channel

        yvanzo: anti-spam policy
      • CatQuest
        i've got to say, iut was tiering, frustrating at times and exausting
      • and I'm really looking forard to doing it agai nnext year!
      • yvanzo
        Actually “Spam Wars - Teaser”
      • Freso
        CatQuest: ❤️
      • CatQuest
        lol
      • Freso
        yvanzo: :o
      • yvanzo
        For months there are malicious users/bots abusing the MusicBrainz database to broadcast advertisement, scam, and other unsolicited content.
      • The most commonly used spam vectors are editor profile, then URL, Artist, Release and other MusicBrainz entities. There are other potential vectors that will need to be addressed, another day.
      • samj1912 reads it in SW monologue voice :P
      • This spam should be hidden/delete/blanked from the MusicBrainz database.
      • CatQuest
        samj1912: 👍
      • yvanzo
        (This is part of our world domination plan)
      • CatQuest
        :D
      • yvanzo
        Since unappropriate deletion and blaking can make irreversible damages, such operation should not be in the hands of everyone. At Summit 17, we proposed to create new privilege “spam ninjas” for editors allowed to take action against identified spam.
      • Freso
        "The resistance are working to build tools to detect the spammers much faster to hopefully finally gain the upper hand."
      • CatQuest
        now it *really* sounds like SW
      • yvanzo
        Identifying spam entities (URL, Artist, Release, and so on) relies on public data. On the contrary, user accounts have private details such as email address. Spam ninjas won’t be allowed to read it, but SpamBrainz will.
      • To sum up, spam ninjas will have some admin capabilities (hiding/deleting/blanking illegitimate content) but won’t have access to private user details.
      • samj1912 is ready for some Jedi ninjas :p
      • ruaok
        +100
      • yvanzo
        It does not challenge https://musicbrainz.org/doc/About/Privacy_Policy at all. (Freso was worrying about that.)
      • CatQuest
        I deff wanna help fight spam!
      • ruaok
        what is the potential problem?
      • yvanzo
        Any question, concern, remark, suggestion is welcome now, but applause.
      • CatQuest
        well noone by hired/asmin should ideally see user's email?
      • Freso
        LGTM.
      • CatQuest
        lol asmin. admin*
      • ruaok
        I see no problem with that.
      • Freso
        I guess we can wrap up the meeting.
      • CatQuest
        everyone but me did really well!
      • Freso
        If anyone comes up with concerns etc. about the plan, they can poke yvanzo then.
      • yvanzo
        ruaok: It depends on who is spam ninja then.
      • Freso will probably be spam ninja for beta release, since he is already catching spam as admin.
      • Freso
        I'm looking forwards to being able to feed spam somewhere that will benefit from it rather than /dev/null.
      • CatQuest
        how does it work, i mean, SpamBrainz will fidn the spammers and then present a list of not-clear-cut cases to Spam Ninjas for them to decide difficult cases?
      • yvanzo
        CatQuest: No, _you_ will find the spammers so that SpamBrainz can learn how to do it later on.
      • CatQuest
        decisions get fed back into SpamBrainz and repeat
      • oh ho!
      • yvanzo
        (you = every editor)
      • CatQuest
        well i'd definitly want to sign up for being n a ninja :D
      • ok, waht do Spamninja do?
      • Freso
        CatQuest: :) Noted.
      • CatQuest
        :D
      • yvanzo
        You won't need to be a ninja to report spam. Ninjas are the ones beheading reported spam.
      • ruaok
        i love the nomenclature of this project.
      • "behead"
      • Freso
        Okay. If anyone comes up with concerns etc. about the plan, they can poke yvanzo then. I'm calling the meeting now. :)
      • yvanzo
        SpamBrainz will be fed with the rest of it.
      • Freso
        Thanks for the update yvanzo!
      • And thanks for your time everyone!
      • </BANG>
      • reosarevok
        Let's hope spam is not like a hydra, because otherwise, you should be using a blunt weapon, not beheading it
      • Freso
        Hail Hydra!
      • I mean, what?
      • CatQuest
        wat
      • lol
      • but i'll report spam
      • can't wait to feed the SpamBrainz :D
      • reosarevok
        Well otherwise the heads regrow
      • CatQuest
        yep
      • you need the medusa head to make it into stone
      • erh. iir my greek mythos
      • hercules did it
      • and/or perseuves
      • or how you spell his name
      • reosarevok
        Perseus I think. Which is funny because perse is ass in Estonian. And I have the sense of humor of a five year old
      • CatQuest
