kartikeyaSh_ircc: you can go now!

Freso: I am up for the meeting! :)

Freso: I'm up too

kartikeyaSh_ircc: Ping?

I worked on my initial draft of the proposal and posted it. Got a few reviews from ruaok. And will work on them asap

(People still up for reviews: Freso, reosarevok, bitmap, zas, ruaok, yvanzo, samj1912, vishichoudhary, akhilesh, bukwurm, Leo_Verto — anyone else who wants to give reviews, please let me know explicitly ASAP.)

me!

kartikeyaSh_ircc: Pick the next to go.

:D

chhavi_: you can go now :)

helo :)

This week, worked on the second version of Release Group page. Going smooth and nice there!

Apart from that, helped ruaok a bit writing a blog about our redesign :)

Also looked into LB graphs, which we plan to discuss this week. Created a short user survey to see what our users will like to see.

Project bookbrainz-site build #10: failed in 3 min 47 sec: https://travis-ci.org/shivam-tripathi/bookbrain...

My laptop is acting up, so I plan to give it for repairs tomorrow. Hopefully, the issue isn’t big and doesn’t affect much work. :/

fin! samj1912 go!

(Reminder: Please try and keep reviews somewhat short and be quick to respond when getting called out and to call out the one after you. Lots of people are up for reviews, but we also have a number of agenda items that would be good to get through.)

:( that sucks chhavi_ , hope it is fixed fast

hello peeps o/

Hello, I'm up for meeting

Worked on picard bugs, planned beta 2 release with zas, reviewed picard PRs, cleaned up pending jira tickets for picard, reviewed lots of bitmap's mbs PRs, worked on my own MBS prs, patched an upstream mbs dep.

zas: go

Hey

Usual server maintenance, i upgraded influxdb & grafana (v5)

Picard PRs & fixes (beta 2 soon)

fin. reosarevok ?

Hi!

Project bookbrainz-site build #11: passed in 4 min 3 sec: https://travis-ci.org/shivam-tripathi/bookbrain...

Support. Another wave of people who need their IDs, for whatever reason

(not sure why they come in waves but eh)

Other than that, nobody complained too much at the stuff I shared last week about instrument groupings / ensembles so I'll add that in a bit I think :)

Maybe BBC has seminars or something about getting artists added? A singer/songwriter friend of mine talked at one point about attending a BBC something-something while she was in London.

Project bookbrainz-site build #12: passed in 3 min 40 sec: https://travis-ci.org/shivam-tripathi/bookbrain...

I hope then they would teach them about IDs :p

lol

instrument ensembles :o

And we need to officially close the hyperion cleanup soonish, and I should write a post, but I'm waiting a bit in case loujine finds time to throw some visualizations at me

lol still working on that >_<

<--

Well, the tools are going to stay there and are still useful :)

loujine: link them on the label annotations! ;)

ok, that's it for now. Freso?

🙋

I did some reviewing or ruaok's PR to move our policy documents from MB wiki to MeB.org as well as bring them up to date a bit. (They look good to me now, for anyone wondering.)

I've had no further feedback on those. I should merge/deploy them.

I also had a report about a feature missing from our Discourse instance that apparently "every other Discourse" install has. Turns out that it is "as intended" since we have Discourse's internal messaging disabled, due to not wanting a lot of different ways to do this.

https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MBS-8721 is the relevant ticket.

MBS-8721: Messaging platform for editors

I also found out that apparently IA's Wayback Machine doesn't properly archive forum topics, so I also looked into this. Seems like it's a bug on IA's, but no known way of letting them know where they seem to be responsive.

imho that's a good thing. but MBS-8721 shoudl be on our roadmap

I also added otter71 to the Auto-Editors group on the forums, per their request.

Freso: bitmap is still in a slack group with some IA people, that might work?

And talked a bit with ruaok about the EU "right to be forgotten", resulting in him posting on the forums: https://community.metabrainz.org/t/musicbrainz-...

Other than that, IRC and forums pretty much.

I could ask them. I try to only bother them about one thing per month since they are very busy :P

Freso: i met a guy working for IA Wayback machine during last GSoC summit, i'll try to find the contact if it helps

Note: next week I'll be volunteering at a folk music camp, so I will likely not be around for meeting. ( https://musicbrainz.org/event/3719b2a1-4365-46f... )

fin! ruaok, go!

k

most of what I did has already been reported on, I feel.

I did however cause massive travel chaos in our little group for meeting up in india.

bitmap, zas: Let's talk post-meeting. :)

I'll try to actually make it india tomorrow. :)

Freso: nothing to report from me tonight

🙌

Good luck ruaok!

india :o

Yo

later this week, thursday and friday, ferbncode[m]1, iliekcomputers, chhavi_ and I will meet in Delhi and chat about LB, graphs for LB and recommendation engines and the like.

:)

:)

and we also had the kick off meeting with the consultant who will review our organization's hiring process and conflict resolution.

fin. yvanzo, go!

:O

Hi!

!m consultant (hopefully)

You're doing good work, consultant (hopefully)!

Discussed the project SpamBrainz with 3 potential GSoC applicants, whereas many other GSoC task ideas for MusicBrainz have not been discussed at all.

Worked mainly on debugging the MB WS memory usage issue which sometimes happens (like right now) and reviewing PRs.

As long as it's real applicants and not spammers trying to reverse-engineer the idea ;p

That’s about it, go vishichoudhary!

thanku yvanzo

hi all

reosarevok: on no!

hi!

(People still up for reviews: bitmap, akhilesh, bukwurm, Leo_Verto, uditgulati0[m] — anyone else who wants to give reviews, please let me know explicitly ASAP.)

this week i worked on issue PICARD-1126

PICARD-1126: Unhelpful error message logged on network request errors https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/PICARD-1126

oops *PICARD-1226

PICARD-1226: Different fonts in the plugins dialog https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/PICARD-1226

ehm. Freso ?

and now working on PICARD-1228

PICARD-1228: Remove button is still enabled if there aren't any unclustered files. https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/PICARD-1228

but got some reviews on my proposal

and now updating that proposal.

that's it from me.

bitmap, go :-)

CatQuest: Is that you explicitly telling me you have an update?

I mostly did code review and fixed my react prs

tested the search results one more and fixed several bugs I found in it

it's super easy to introduce 20 new bugs in every conversion, so I'm trying to test everything more, which slows down the process a bit

worked on adding types to our most oft-used components and functions (EntityLink/i18n stuff) to avoid more bugs creeping in. opened a PR for EntityLink

Project bookbrainz-site build #13: passed in 4 min 6 sec: https://travis-ci.org/shivam-tripathi/bookbrain...

hey better slow and steady than fast and buggy, i say

reosarevok (Freso, addendum): The issue is we won’t be able to mentor more than 1 GSoC student for SpamBrainz.

cleaned up my sidebar conversion branch more, I just need another day to split up a large commit and then I'll push

reosarevok: lol

fin, akhilesh ?

Hey all!

In this week most of my time got consumed in the second draft of GSoC proposal.

Thanks to @LordSputnik for reviewing and merging my pull requests.

I have pushed all the changes as needed.

Currently, I am working on adding more stats tables on statistics page of BookBrainz website.

That's all!

fin :)

\o/ stats pages

bukwurm: go :-

Hey!

Ok, so this week I started off working on some userscripts.

Then I wrote my proposal

I would love reviews from @LordSputnik and other members of the community.

I opened a pull request https://github.com/bookbrainz/bookbrainz-site/p... few minutes ago.

Presently I am working on analysing the structure of the dumps so that I can explain more about them in the proposal.

That's all.
