Hi!

I did support and a looot of classical cleanup stuff

Both diversity database related and not

Found a lot of nice music while doing that :)

Other than that, still relaxing, trying not to melt, swimming in lakes and playing Witcher 3

Freso: ?

"Swimming in lakes and playing Witcher 3"?

I hope your hardware is well insulated. :x

Anyway.

🙋

(Maybe he's swimming in lakes *in* Witcher 3?)

ass? comedy? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAGcDi0DRtU

Spent some time handling reported forum posts and editors.

Including going through more (maybe the last) reported spam MB profiles (plz 2 not b report more before SpamBrainz is a thing) and added them to the list I'm sharing with yvanzo.

Also came across https://chaoss.community/ which I've made a note of looking more into.

Could be great to start getting some more numbers on community health.

Other than that, being around and about.

Also: FresoBot has finished going through Spotify URLs! 🙌 🎉

!m Freso

You're doing good work, Freso!

There will probably be a few outliers, but almost all Spotify URLs should now have been normalised. (Or will be in a week when all FresoBot's open edits have applied.)

Neat!

Fix Chandos URLs now :D

This should make it a lot easier to do Spotify–MB linkage now.

fin!

zas!

go !

I thought zas was on vacay :P

Ooh. Maybe.

Dammit. So well aligned though. :)

sam!

s/zas/sam maybe ;)

go !

lol :P

:p

hey o/ :D

mostly dealt with forums

and search backlash

and twats

we got pretty close though with my latest PR with primary aliases

so I am happy with that

haters gonna hate and all that.

apart from that, some routine maintainance since hetzner likes to do random VM reboots

!m samj1912

You're doing good work, samj1912!

and planning Picard 2.0 release which is this wednesday

if all goes well

thats all from me

(People still up for reviews: ruaok, iliekcomputers, rsh7, Leo_Verto, chhavi_, kartikeyaSh – anyone else who want to go, please let me know ASAP.)

chhavi_: go

Hello,

Not much this week. Had a sync up with bitmap, qill be working on documentation of our components and the UI table component this week :)

Alsooo. This week definitely gonna put up our summit tshirts on redbubble, up for sale. I should do that. :p

fin! iliekcomputers go :D

This week, I've been reading up on Spark and started some work on moving LB stuff to spark. Some progress there, nothing to show much yet, mostly spent time on reading.

Other than that, I worked with rsh7 testing and merging PRs, pointing out issues etc etc. Also, filled the GSoC eval, tried to find the fail all button but it wasn't there. :(

Then, made a roadmap for moving AB to our Hetzner servers where all our other dockerized projects reside, with PRs to AB creating Dockerfiles and other config suff.

other than that, travelled 3 diff cities, meeting friends and such

fin.

who is next?

well, we lost the thread.

rsh7: go!

hi!

I worked on a PR to keep the musicbrainz schema updated with the main MB db. Then I opened a small PR to add a sleep schedule for musicbrainz importer.

Now, I am working on writing tests for import_mb_db script.

will open a PR soon

rsh7: yeah, let's get that done quickly and move to the next part of the project.

Once I get reviews from iliekcomputers on currently opened PR’s, we will move forward to be working on testing and deciding which method to use further for MB data use in AB.

iliekcomputers: yeah, I'll try to make it early

that's all

fin

ruaok: go!

k

last week was the usual guff, but quite a lot of it.

(Only Leo_Verto and kartikeyaSh left on my list after ruaok. Last chance for anyone else to get added!)

the only really interesting thing that has me excited is my work on automating quickbooks invoicing.

I've got that nearly working -- that should make it a lot simpler to send out invoices each quarter.

right now it takes about 4 hours. if you could the procrastinating from me not wanting to do it, it is considerably more.

I'm working hard on getting the amount of time we spend on accounting back to a reasonable state -- like 3-4 hours per quarter.

and we received a €65K payment from the BBC today -- for 3 years.

that kinda stuff makes me happy. :)

fin, kartikeyaSh, go!

no?

Leo_Verto: ?

!m BBC Music

You're doing good work, BBC Music!

Or maybe move on and we can see if they pop up…

ruaok: BookBrainz support!

aight.

Freso: one word from me if it's not too late ?

go loujine

^

sorry

No worries. :)

yvanzo and reosarevok and I hadf a meeting some time ago zith french researchers for the DOREMUS project

I prepared a comparison with teir list of artists

aligned on VIAF data

things should move later to comparison of artist with other comparisons

and works probably later

the end

Still no Leo_Verto or kartikeyaSh, ruaok, go ahead again. :)

k

leo is busy till 19th

so, given my last point about money in the bank -- we have, or will soon, have $100k in the bank more than we need for a comfortable buffer.

so we are hiring a BB engineer?

:D

BookBrainz need some serious attention if we want to bring it up to the standard our other projects.

yes, that is what I am getting at.

should we do this?

Have you talked with LordSputnik? (And/or Leftmost?)

LordSputnik: Ping?

I have.

I'm all for it.

would be nice to finally have someone from the team doing BB work

+1

Yeah.

ok, unless anyone has any objections to it, then lets make a general plan to hire someone.

+1 :D

we should have Leftmost and other mzin BB contribs into the loop at least.

BB is too slow-progressing right now. :/

Yeah.

everyone: if you know anyone who might be a qualified enigneer to work on BB, send them my way.

node + react is our current BB stack right?

LordSputnik: can you please put together a small job description, mostly with technical competence requirements, and mail it to me?

samj1912: I have no idea. I blinked and must be out of date. :)

;)

ok, moving onto the summit.

I guess this is that fo... yeah.

almost no one, but zas has signed up to attend: https://wiki.musicbrainz.org/index.php?title=Mu...

in order to start doing some planning, get signed up if you're currently intending on attending.

also, I am considering making thursday more of a "fun" day.

last year I had instructed quesito to do that, but in the end nothing really happened.

I'm considering taking everyone to La Sagrada Familia.

or perhaps something else. but more of a day for getting out and about and not constantly working and staring at laptops.

so, go sign up!

fin. back to you Freso

Still no sign of kartikeyaSh…

is it possible to have the extra days after 29th and 30th? I have holidays from 1st to 7th so thuat woould be convenient

And no more items on the agenda…

iliekcomputers: yes, sure.

So declaring the meeting over.

Thanks for your time everyone!

</BANG>

ruaok: great!

thanks Freso

I am going to be in Hamburg from the 1st until the 4th, but you can crash at my place if you want.
