Then chhavi_ then me

Ok

👍

Okayy

Freso: hi o/

Didn't do much

hi!

Roamed around Paris with rsh7, kartikeyaSh and bukwurm

Lots of stuff to see

Nobody was rude to you?

Monday was acousticbrainz meeting with alastairp which was pretty nice and productive

reosarevok: not at all

wat. noone rude in paris? how?

There were a bunch of made in China Eiffel tower keyring sellers

the keyrings or the keyringsellers?

The keyrings were made in china

aw

Other than that, I worked a bit on fixing the remaining stuff before Spotify import can be deployed on beta.lb

And did a bit of CB evangelism asking a friend to help out with some dev woen

Work*

Let's see how that goes.

Rn, I'm on a bus to delhi - - yea yea

Excited for the gsoc mentor summit

Fin.

reosarevok: go

chhavi_: go

I have nothing much to say either. Settling back. Got myself updated on gci, will create tasks this week. And also the ticket reo and I discussed at summit about data quality

reosarevok: go now :P

:)

Yay data quality

hmm

Hi! So last week I talked too much in Barcelona

really?

And then I came back and vegetated

I did manage to (hopefully) update and finish our last year GCI PR porting statistics pages to React

Which wasn't too bad but needed a lot of small fixes, plus covered only half the stats pages

Also did some more reviewing of bitmap's sidebar thing, which hopefully is now ready

As CatQuest mentioned, I did a couple small Jira changes for instruments, and I think that's about it :)

ruaok: stop snarking and go :p

whaaaat?

k

I got everyone paid and then ran off to hamburg.

after a couple days off and chilling i came back and jumped into accounting.

it seems that each month something with the data formats we get from the banks change and I need to tweak them.

lame.

Fun Stuff ™

but hopefully that is less and less over time.

so, this week I'm going to finish monthly accounting and post-summit paperwork crap.

nothing exciting. thursday am I am off to the bay area.

fin.

(I only have myself and bitmap left for reviews. Anyone else, please let me know explicitly.)

bitmap: go

hello

Freso: I'm up for the review!

I spent last week updating my sidebar PR to finish converting the edit, collection, and cdstub sidebars to React, plus fixing a few bugs reosarevok found

simultaneously worked on my branch for converting the edit diffs, particularly the edit relationship ones

other than that, a bunch of code review / merging

:)

Will it go out to beta this week already?

(sidebar + genres)

:o

I hope so :)

fin, rsh7 go :)

hello!

hi!

Last week I attended a great MeB summit :D

We also met Alastair at his university and discussed plans for the work to be done in AB, then spent 2 days at Paris with a little Indian team and then back to India. So, last week was mostly traveling.

Then I worked on adding more entities that use MB data to BrainzUtils so that all the projects can use the entities for the direct connection with MB db and created a pull request BU-21 for the same.

BU-21: Use direct MB database access for more entities https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/BU-21

!m rsh7

You're doing good work, rsh7!

And yeah, I and iliekcomputers made a few tasks for GCI, and will create more tasks this week.

And this week I would try to remove the musicbrainz_db module from Critiquebrainz and make it use BU for importing stuff related to direct mb db access.

!m rsh7

You're doing good work, rsh7!

thanks!

that's all for today! fin

Freso: go go!

:D

🙋

No one else is left, so if

… I don't see anyone saying they're up for reviews during mine, we'll continue to agenda items afterwards.

That out of the way…

These last two weeks, I prepared to go the summit, I went to summit (and live-streamed as much of it as I was able to).

Can be viewed at https://www.youtube.com/c/MetaBrainz for anyone interested. :)

o/

Is that "bukwurm wants to review"?

I did some Google Code-in preparatory stuff, I've gotten my ESTA done for trip to the US in a couple of days, …

reosarevok: Yeah, and a general hi everyone :P

I closed a very heated topic on the forums and also handled some flags and reports.

Yeah, sigh, that was a terrible one

Thanks for dealing with that one, Freso

I think that's more or less it. bukwurm, go!

ESTA bien

Hey everyone

bukwurm: And please be more explicit about wanting to do a review next time. :)

This week was mostly packed with returning back from the summit

But I did manage to finish off duplication detection during form filling

!m bukwurm

You're doing good work, bukwurm!

Woohoo !

I hope Mr_Monkey and I can coordinate and put it on test for everyone to test it out

yay!

Sweet!

That was pretty much it for this week

\o/

I'm unsure if anyone else is left

My battery was out of juice so I couldn't read earlier messages

No one else is left. :)

So… onwards!

So

During the post-summit Monday chat with bitmap and yvanzo we were talking CD Stubs

chat or chaat?

Just chat. I never got to try the chaat!

:C

Anyway

We were wondering whether we should block adding more CD Stubs

It's, as it stands, basically pointless

uh i didn't know we could add them at all .O

Yet used surprisingly often

:(

Well, we can't, unless we're logged out I think

I don't have the stats in front of me but we get a lot more submissions than I expected

Yeah

not good

I do: we got 449 new CD Stubs last month

(well, the month before last Monday)

We got 17697 new releases - so, a lot more, but still a surprisingly significant amount of CD Stubs

not sure how many of those are actually imported as releases, but probably a tiny percentage

With our current setup, I suspect maybe 10% of those ever get imported

not good

So unless we want to commit to properly making CD Stubs visible

they're kidna a black hole right

Do we have any stats of where the stubs come from?

Are they from specific clients, or… ?

(which is hard because we only have a string for artist, so we can't even show with too much certainty "it seems this belongs under this artist and you might want to import it)

I'd say we should stop giving these people the idea they're spending their time usefully when honestly, they mostly aren't

And tell them to just make an account and add a release

👍

Would it be possibly to use it for or with MessyBrainz data to make it useful somehow?

I'm not against not allowing more submissions though.

it could be.

Freso: my understanding is that CD Stubs are added only from the website itself, but haven't added any ever :p

but we can use an old dump for that.

DO we have stats about stubs usage through WS?

yes!

I'm not talking about dropping all the existing CD Stubs, necessarily

messydata!
