well, giving control back to the provinces and no longer listening to the ministerio was a bad idea.

with hindsight, I think the ministerio de sanidad had a rather good understanding of the situation and their rules were quite good.

it seems like the feedback from the generalitat that "the rules are too complex to understand, we just need to use common sense" was a bit off point

ok, aside from a couple of self conflicts the rules were quite easy to understand.

(e.g. no biking, unless you're biking to the bar)

tbf, putting together 2 month confinement plan in a week is bound to have problems

but in general I agree, it was pretty good

oh I was talking about the fase 1/2 conflicts, not so much about the recent changes.

anyways, berlin has returned to great weather. 21C, overcast and threat of rain. I'm happy for the duration.

how is the mood at home, alastairp?

a little resigned to stay at home for another 2 week. I have barley and yeast and gas, so I guess I'll just brew for the next month, lol

will try and get out on the bike once a week or so, just for sanity

I wonder if we can already claim to have more features/users than libre.fm ...

probably yes, they have the artist signup feature but i don't think its on lb roadmap anyways?

do they have public data on their usage?

like number of users etc

no, i don't think so

these are the only public stats

_lucifer: you have a lot coming up in the android app. I guess we can fetch in more users from there

but it needs a new design and a name

hope so. the primary motive of the app was to boost number of users

yeah true, SomalRudra is working on the GUI these days

so we might be there at the end of GSoC

Oh really. I would like to have a look if the team has no issues

No issues, sure.

i'll ask him to share the mockups

iliekcomputers: does this jive with your understanding of our upcoming plans?

if so I'll write up a quick PR for the influx_writer no longer writing unique listens.

iliekcomputers: #964 looks mergeable, can you have a look?

ruaok: yes, i think that sounds reasonable.

pristine___: sure.

obligatory tortising?

the obligating tortoises where blocking view from a proper picture of checkpoint charlie.

I had to take an artsy pic

zas, outsidecontext: No rush but when you have a chance, I'd appreciate your comments on https://github.com/metabrainz/picard-plugins/pu... Thanks.

Hi ruaok

how goes?

Good but slow

Thanks to college

I know that feeling.

ah, so more work got piled on?

... and the saga of the director... is he in jail yet?

Not yet

But under investigation

Central ministry team to come this week

good. ;)

Looks like the new Director is good. He helpedus through some things easing a lil

good good. so, how are have you come then?

Done with the right side

Now on the left side

I will shoot the PRs this week

I wanted a favour from you

iliekcomputers: Lets chat in #mb-gsoc?

what do you need?

sgtm

Can you open a branch "ui-redesign" based on master

I will make smaller PRs components wise to be merged into this

hmmm. "master"

you saw that we plan to release in 48 hours, yes?

so, the branch should be off timescale-final ?

That would be better

just gonna chime in here to say please try to keep as much stuff in master as possible

I dont want to make a huge PR. But smaller PRs component wise so that they are easy to follow up

iliekcomputers: so you think master is better in this case?

ruaok: yes.

in the end it probably won't make much difference.

add the components to master, don't use them.

ok, master it is.

Okay then thats also fine

Just wanted to avoid conflicts

if you hold off and then try to merge a huge PR, i guarantee there will be more conflicts

I think it will be fine. I reabsed the timescale stuff with no conflicts.

I am fine with what you both proposed. :)

I have almost finished the college work so only vivas are left. I am happy I will have enough time for LB now finally.

So ruaok you can expect that the right side must be done my next monday

that sounds good to me!

Yeah. I felt bad that I couldnt work much the previous week. So I will compensate this week

ruaok: Any specific details we should discuss?

I have no concerns right now -- just keep your head down and then we'll see next week.

Yeah it will be easier to discuss when we finally have something presentable

exactly.

Thanks

I am pretty excited for the release on wednesday :)

wait. i thought we decided on doing pull requests to master?

I thought we were debating over what the base should be

ui-redesign is based off master.

Did I make all this confusing 😅

I'm confused too.

sorry.

let me clarify what i wanted to say

if shivam-kapila wants to do things component by component

then the components should just go into master, unused.

and then do a pull request on master using the components.

shivam-kapila: Even I would prefer if it was in master, that way I could use some components in the stats page if needed

that way we don't have to deal with huge PR merges before releases

and what ishaanshah said

Oh. I get that now

Thats what you meant by "merge but dont use them"

Until done

yes. apologies for the confusion.

I am happy with this too

ruaok: ok for you?

yeah, of course.

so, just make smaller branches as you go.

Hm okay

Anything else we should discuss about?

nope. all done.

Howz your Germany tour going?

Hey alastairp! Could we arrange a meeting tomorrow?

perfect. what time is good for you?

Anytime you want. I have no problem

Let's say some time in the midday?

how about 2pm CEST?

great!

I 've completed all the steps we talked about in our previous meetings and I wanted to see how we will proceed from now on.

shivam-kapila: not very toury yet. I'm just working from my friends' house in berlin.

saturday its onward to Hamburg, my home town.

but it is nice to be out of bcn. not very hot here.

A nice escape amid the lockdown.

It’s World Chess Monday!
