since I have to refactor a lot of stuff and can be more sure about the changes that way

I also finally finished the PR for MBS-10187, also mentioned last week, and submitted that, and worked on couple other minor tickets: MBS-10964, MBS-11328
Today I had a call with Wikidata people about improving error detection in MB<-->Wikidata stuff, including checking whether, say, our dates clash for an artist, or whether something just seems to be wrongly linked. They might have reports about that coming at some point that they'll share with us

Thanks ruaok for sending them my way

From that talk, I'll at least work on making one report for reused Wikidata URLs, hopefully we'll find some issues to fix with that too

People still up for reviews tonight: yvanzo, shivam-kapila, _lucifer, alastairp, jmp_music

shivam-kapila: go? :)

hello
2021-01-18 01814, 2021
alastairp
as ruaok said, I spent a big bit of time last week updating LB startup to use the new consul-template (I say "new", but MBS switched to it 3 years ago or something)
2021-01-18 01826, 2021
reosarevok
Eh, for our speed, that's totally nw
2021-01-18 01828, 2021

*new
2021-01-18 01844, 2021
reosarevok
We've been "soon getting rid of Wikipedia links" for 5 years or so!
2021-01-18 01853, 2021
alastairp
that's going well, and I had some good discussions with bitmap and ruaok about how this all fits together, and unifying the process between MBS and other python brainzes

You're doing good work, alastairp!
2021-01-18 01816, 2021

as a part of that I built and pushed a bunch of new docker-python images based on that newer consul-template base image

(sorry I missed the ping I am here now)

I reviewed and merged a bunch of LB PRs, including a bunch of version upgrades. the pending ones require some code changes
2021-01-18 01849, 2021
alastairp
I updated the dataset hoster to send error messages to sentry
well, we should apply in any case and see how it shakes out.
2021-01-18 01800, 2021
ruaok
which means that we need to take the GSoC ideas page, make one for 2020 and work out who to chop projects into smaller bits so that we can pitch them as GSoC ideas.
2021-01-18 01807, 2021
ruaok
now, I have another idea about this.
2021-01-18 01825, 2021
ruaok
what if we make everyone propose a SECOND half of the summer project.
2021-01-18 01844, 2021
ruaok
and if they do really well on the first half, we will continue on and MeB will pay for the second half.
2021-01-18 01849, 2021
reosarevok
I think several projects we'd have would have worked better as smaller, better contained projects tbh, I don't necessarily hate the idea.
2021-01-18 01856, 2021
ruaok
for 1-3 people, perhaps?
2021-01-18 01806, 2021
reosarevok
But if we can afford that and we really work well with someone, that doesn't seem bad
2021-01-18 01828, 2021
ruaok
reosarevok: agreed, but we often had projects that were longer running -- at least in LB land where we wanted to get projects in production.
2021-01-18 01835, 2021
ruaok
we can't really do those anymore.
2021-01-18 01835, 2021
reosarevok
Keep in mind though that some might have internships already for then :) (since part of why they're shortening it is so that people can do both without doing them side by side)

ruaok: the GSoC program is still like 10 weeks from 13 so dont know many students will be available post summer breaks
2021-01-18 01830, 2021
Mr_Monkey
I do like the idea, but it does indeed require that the student not have any commitments afterwards
2021-01-18 01831, 2021
ruaok
well, have a think. I'll be pinging the project leads iin the next two weeks to work over these lists.
2021-01-18 01836, 2021
reosarevok
But I think at least having one position where it can be like "propose something sensible for this amount of hours, if you get it done fast and well we can maybe offer you a second project" seems good
2021-01-18 01842, 2021
reosarevok
Especially for something like those LB projects
2021-01-18 01846, 2021
ruaok
reosarevok: that, yes.
2021-01-18 01855, 2021
reosarevok
3 might be a lot though :)
2021-01-18 01856, 2021

shivam-kapila: good point, thanks
2021-01-18 01804, 2021

and we have some people who might work with us again, and if we know them then even better.
2021-01-18 01804, 2021
reosarevok
I think testing with one or at most 2 would be safest
2021-01-18 01819, 2021
ruaok
likely.

so, this was a heads up, I'll possibly have a follow up topic in 2 weeks time if it warrants follow up.
2021-01-18 01850, 2021

back to you reo.
2021-01-18 01855, 2021

So, in the meantime, everyone should come up with ideas?
2021-01-18 01809, 2021
reosarevok
Ok, people, think a thought or two! :)

any al1ens or t1me travelers here?
2021-01-18 01819, 2021

yes and reform the exisiting ideas on the page
2021-01-18 01821, 2021
reosarevok
shivam-kapila: sure, the first half would need to be reasonably self-contained IMO
2021-01-18 01854, 2021
reosarevok
Anyway, that's all as far as I can tell
2021-01-18 01859, 2021

Anyone has any last minute topics?

Have a good week, take care, appreciate what you have and think it could always be a lot worse (but isn't).

I need a d1mensional warp generat0r or the xk mem0 replica
2021-01-18 01809, 2021

And there always have had possible continuations in it, we should just develope these for the second part.

oh. thanks but I need to connect with somone here. Much like whichwarpwatch.com will not exist till the year 2050. so it won't do me much good

I thought that the DNS system was completely replace in 2038 after time_t rolled over...

is there is simple way to build a device from parts here which can transfer my conciousness back to my younger self like the xk memo replica can?
