reosarevok: I just cant seem to get st peters up there

is it because of the comma?

I dunno

https://musicbrainz.org/search?query=church+lon... current search does put it there

doesnt seem like it

wtf

what results was I being shown then O.o

ah, I am searching for london church

sign

*sigh

well anyway

is that betteR?

" Can't connect to solr.service.consul:18983 Name or service not known at /home/musicbrainz/carton-local/lib/perl5/LWP/Protocol/http.pm line 46." not really better :D

I restarted it :P

try again

Huh, what's up with the changed by "Anonymous" in this ticket's activity? https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/SPAM-1

SPAM-1: Design SpamBrainz logo

Still getting the same

yeah, I was just fixing some other things I had broken

Leo_Verto: probably someone clicked the wrong thing, then tried to improve it

anyway, is the current one fine?

Oh, that's what you meant

reosarevok: but why "Anonymous"? Deleted user?

Well, it seems a bit better - and I generally do find places I search for fine, so that's probably OK to follow

Leo_Verto: maybe at that time anonymous could do that, or maybe a deleted user. Not sure

reosarevok: you might wanna try a couple more searches, this is way different than our current search so I dont want it to perform worse :P

samj1912: I assume you're going to make a "this is broken with the new search and I want it fixed" thread for our users to come up with wonderful edge cases? :P

which is better?

Leo_Verto: I guess so

I will do it when we make the beta announcement

or the alpha one

idk :P

ruaok: zas what is our game plan with solr currently?

what kind of place "A church in North London"?

I like indexed more

Leo_Verto: probably that's all the info they had

ah, yeah, when discogs is your only source https://www.discogs.com/de/Electric-Litany-How-...

reosarevok: hmm

let me try again then

and the next sentence is "Recorded without the use of computers." as if that's something to be proud of

Leo_Verto: well that's literally what's printed :D

What can they do

searching for a just a city name in old/newsearch is interesting

https://musicbrainz.org/search?query=hamburg&am... vs https://test.musicbrainz.org/search?query=hambu...

oddly enough oldsearch seems mostly popularity-based

or at least, what I'd expect knowing the city

and in newsearch some hotel is the fifth result

samj1912: game plan is to make a game plan. :-)

venues seem to massively drop in favour of studios

I know zas has loads of open questions that you two might be able to answer together faster.

which I guess kinda makes sense considering we don't have a whole lot of events in MB yet vs a ton of releases recorded at studios

A lot of classical releases are recorded at venues too, but

But, get solr cloud deployed and then do a deployment to beta and ask for a last round of comments... That is the rough game plan...

well, the Laeiszhalle, which used to be the concert house in Hamburg until a year ago dropped quite heavily in newsearch

then again, it doesn't contain hamburg in the name

I'm off for a concert now, should finish at meeting time but I might be a little late

Mineo: ping

ah nvm

found the answer in solr docs :P

samj1912: the plan is simple, move stuff to solr cloud, and test/tune/test/tune/fix/test/tune until we are ready for production.

but in the immediate future, i'd like you set up solr stuff on solr cloud vms so we can validate it works, and see what needs to be improved, i did a very raw and unsafe install, and i guess there are a lot of things to do before we can even go in beta

cool

we need to have an idea of the overall performance we can achieve with this setup, so once we are able to actually search on solr cloud, i'd like to measure performance under (simulated) load, and compare it to current search servers.

ugh, why did we never come up with a nice solution to integrating lobes other than just dropping the relevant files in?

oh hey, bookbrainz has a decent solution, https://github.com/bookbrainz/bookbrainz-site/b... :D

I'll follow along, but will have spotty connection/attention for the first half of the meeting. I'll check in when I have a better connection.

chhavi_: Would it be terrible if your topic doesn't make it until next week?

Freso: the gendered speech one can wait too. We have a lot of other things for the meeting.

ruaok: Yeah, that's what I was seeing, thus checking to see what can potentially be postponed. :) I'll push genders to the end.

Freso: nopes, not at all :)

chhavi_: 👍

erh

<BANG>

Hello people!

hi Freso !

\o

And welcome to the almost-21st Monday meeting of the year.

People up today: Freso, reosarevok, bitmap, zas, ruaok, yvanzo, samj1912, iliekcomputers, rsh7, bukwurm, Leo_Verto, chhavi_, kartikeyaSh_ircc, CatQuest - anyone else, please let me know explicitly ASAP. (Ping: LordSputnik, Leftmost, alastairp, ferbncode)

iliekcomputers: Go!

iliekcomputers says:

"""

Did a bunch of work on GDPR things, user account deletion and notices. Also, did a lot of code review for kartikeya and rashi, their brainzutils PRs are looking pretty good. I'll probably merge and release a new version tomorrow if they're okay.

Other than that, gonna be busy with irl stuff for the last week of May mostly, lots of people going away (and I'm in desperate need for a vacation after this semester)

"""

samj1912: Go!

hello o/

Did a lot of solr stuff this week

I basically tried fixing our search and relevance results

and they got as fixed as they could get

\o/

reosarevok: and Leo_Verto and CatQuest helped me a lot with that :D

you can test it out here -https://test.musicbrainz.org/

:DDD

freso: here

just keep the advanced mode on, since only that has the appropriate boosts

apart from that fixed a few other sir bugs

chhavi_: go

Hello :) Worked on summit artwork with invat (yeah, I know it's too early, but was excited to get started). A bit on setting up the design system, not as much as I would have liked though. Looking forward to catch up this week.

This one was a rough one (got sick and family mishaps).

Fin!

aaww

ruaok: go :)

I think maybe ruaok is on a spotty connection right now.

Let's let CatQuest go first and ruaok can go when he's on a stable connection.

:o

Pass, plz

alright

As expected, I didn't get much done this week, however it was mostly due to a sudden elevation of temperature!

To our esteemed indian colleagues it is probably not much, but if you consider that a mere month-and-a-half ago there was snow on the ground with minus 5˚, a plus 28˚ is indeed a lot! (in july one would be more used to something like this temperature :​​D)

However, I *​did​* mange to do some fixing of gong and gongs (merge the latter into the former)

Edited a few releases, added a ticket for suggestion of a new report: MBS-9712

MBS-9712: Report: Instrument credit mishmatches https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MBS-9712

Considering splitting up our "mbira" instrument which makes sense since we differentiate between very similar other instruments, but this will be an undertaking, as it will require reorganising a lot of different wikidata pages as well, anyone who knows anything about all lamellophones like mbiras, likembes, kalimbas, sansas and the ilk are welcome to talk about this! Please make some INST tickets with different "thumb piano" instruments

that are your pet thing. (yes, people reading the community "Notes from" posts, this means you!)

see INST-647 for the accompanying ticket!

INST-647: Lamellophones! https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/INST-647

Finn!

letsee freso next?

🙋

Lol, baked indian colleagues more like it. :)

it hit 45C here last week :P

ye that sounds like steaming :DDD

I wouldn't survive that

This last week I did some board related stuff, including attending this quarter's quarterly board meeting.

!m Freso

You're doing good work, Freso!

I dealt with some reported editors and some flagged forum content/users.

And generally was around and about on IRC and forums.

fin, yvanzo: Go!

(People still up: reosarevok, bitmap, zas, ruaok, rsh7, bukwurm, Leo_Verto, kartikeyaSh_ircc, drsaunder - anyone else, please let me know explicitly ASAP.)

Last week, I reviewed more PRs, reworked my code for reporting spam, updated URL handlers, helped a tiny bit with SOLR.

No release today, but a beta release soon.

fin, reosarevok?

I'm not sure reosarevok is fully home from concert…

bitmap? :)

bitmap next.
