#metabrainz

Other than that, I've been trying to merge and generally improve a 65xCD boxset that got added recently for a composer I was trying to clean up (ouch!)

Freso: I am also up for the meeting!

CatQuest: you?

me?

oh!

XD

Hi!

You know how I said I was going to switch to working on INST-630 ?

I didn't switch to working on INST-630 \:D

INST-630: Create clapper tree https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/INST-630

Instead I added some sitars and related indian string instruments after a lot of research and reading grove and finding how things were connected together. II'll write a short description for sitar and then move on to working on INST-630 this week.

Then I seconded and also nominated some peeps for AE because of the https://community.metabrainz.org/t/call-for-nom... post (which imho has gone over all expectations in success so)

!m zas for that thread!

You're doing good work, zas for that thread!!

:D

In other news it is snowing a lot here and I got a new "akebrett" so I'll be

having FUN

next can be idk, amCap1712 ?

CatQuest: you are sending texts faster than I can read

(People still up: Freso, zas, yvanzo, iliekcomputers, Mr_Monkey, code_master5, akhilesh – anyone else, please let me know explicitly ASAP.)

I started the week by writing code for OAuth

amCap1712: type up all my stuff before meeting :V

it took 2 days to set up. I am stuck on a part will discuss it later in the meeting. Other than I researched on how to improve security in login process and remodelled POJO classes. thatsall

yvanzo: next

hi!

Fresh: I am also in :)

Freso: *

last week, I almost caught up with PR reviews, thanks for having chunked that!

Also updated MB servers and published a blog post about it.

Kept up working on the MB VM. Still a bit of work with sir and solr. (Raising other issues...)

Plus usual stuff: small fixes, support, triage, and so on.

Fin, Mr_Monkey, climb up!

Yo !

As said previously, spent a good bit of the week working with ruaok and iliekcomputers to make ListenBrainz listens page dynamic.

Also implemented a Spotify player that allows you to play any listen from a user page right in the browser.

Here's a screenshot:

Mr_Monkey: Nice! 👏

Also reviewed and merged some PRs for BookBrainz, and did some issue triage.

👍🏼

!m Mr_Monkey

Finally, some improvements on how entities are "deleted" and displayed once deleted in BB.

And that's about it !

Freso: go !

🙋

Nudged on by zas' post in the forums, I reached out to rdswift and jesus2099 for whether they'd like to be nominated for auto-editor, and rdswift said yes and jesus2099 also said yes but had some reservations, so I nominated rdswift at least… and his election finished earlier today, passing 40:0: https://musicbrainz.org/election/302 🎉 Congrats rdswift!

Nice ! :)

I also replied to a handful of GSoC prospective students in support@ (I don't think they actually want to work with MeB, I suspect they're really just "spamming" orgs for replies, but you never know, so might as well be polite and welcoming about it).

👏

congrats rdswift !

I was also in contact with freenode staff about current MetaBrainz group contacts. It was ruaok, navap, and myself. Since navap hasn't been around since forever (we miss you navap! :(), I asked them to drop him from the list for now at least. So now only ruaok and myself are GCs for MeB.

we should get reosarevok or someone else in as well.

probably zas bitmap or yvanzo also?

i was goon asy reo hah

Oh no

I was thinking reosarevok as well.

What have I gotten into

:DDD

lol

I did a tiny bit of administrative work on the forums, did some flag/report handling, and was generally around and about.

thanks for volunteering, reosarevok !

Thanks for volunteering reo

Hah

Jinx

eh... i'm NOT volunteering

We'll discuss that later. :)

fin!

I mean, if I just need to talk to some people sometimes, I guess that's fine?

damn when will i learn to "volunteer" for things i want like this :P

zas just volunteered to go next!

(People still up: iliekcomputers, code_master5, akhilesh, pristine_ – anyone else, please let me know explicitly ASAP.)

well, moved to BCN for the week, finally done the backup system

!m zas

You're doing good work, zas!

(on backup, not squatting my house)

Woot !

work still in progress, it is based on https://borgbackup.readthedocs.io/en/stable/

Woo!

we filled 42% of the backup space till now

ruaok: y not both?

wait

what backup is this

also lol borg

how appropriate for us ;D

apart that, usual stuff, upgrades, and general MB activity (editing, commenting, etcing..)

All the backup of all our stuff, I think? :)

reosarevok: neat! :o

fin. iliekcomputers ? (yes, YOU)

Hi!

I worked on the Spotify hacks with monkey and rob.

And other than that, I did some more stuff with spark

yes, all our stuff

♡💻 🐒

Fin

pristine_: go

Hello :)

(Only code_master5 and akhilesh left on my list. Last chance to speak up if you want to give a review during the meeting!)

The LB logs were being flooded with Werkzeug TypeError which hid the actual errors. Worked on this issue and opened a PR for the same which was later merged. Opened another PR in LB for a typo. Opened 3 PRs in listenbrainz-recommendation-playground, the path to the airdock/Oracle repository and spark tar file required modifications. Also, worked to sought some bugs through the PRs.

akhilesh: go!

Hello All!

akhilesh: Hi!

!m akhilesh

You're doing good work, akhilesh!

4 PRs are merged and 1 is open for review.

I agree !

!m akhilesh

You're doing good work, akhilesh!

Fixed some issues with the help of Mr_Monkey.

Thankyou Mr_Monkey to review and merge my PSs. !m Mr_Monkey.

Can't wait to deploy all the improvements on test.BB

That's all from my side.

code_master5: go

Hi everyone!

I worked on a few bugs and features for CB.

Added a PR for removing drafts from popular reviews.

Also implemented delete functionality for comments.

And yeah, last week, iliekcomputers and I discovered a bug while pushing CB to production.

It was fetching expired access tokens for communicating with Spotify API.

Opened a PR regarding that.

So that' all.

That's all for reviews tonight. Thanks everyone! We've got a few agenda items coming. Let's see if we can get through all of them. :)

ruaok: Annual report reminder

k

team leads: remember that I'd like to get your contributions for the annual report by the end of the month.

so, by the end of thursday, please.

fin. back to Freso

or I can start with backups.

And over to…

zas: Backups

zas: do you have the link to the doc handy?

private repo

the google doc one.

thanks.

Name is a Star Trek reference, but when I try and go there, I get a Star Wars reference. 🤔

team leads again: please take a look at that doc.

we need to identify the bits that need proper backing up.

so new backup system in short:
