#musicbrainz-devel

what happens when someone asks for their account to be deleted? do we just rename it, or do we do stuff like delete their subscriptions as well?

nikki: I'm not sure. ruaok does that sort of thing.

also

hello!

moin moin!

nikki: I think in the past we've said: you clear out as much data as you can, including deleting your subs and stuff; we'll remove your email address, zap the password, and rename the account to something like "deleted-123456".

something like that.

ah

I was wondering 'cause I came across http://musicbrainz.org/user/tags/?userid=193948

which is just weird, deleted users shouldn't have tags

deleted users shouldn't exist at all :-)

well I can understand them being there for stuff like edits

but, having said all that: users these days have a lot more data attached to them than they used to

so asking them to remove their own data may be inappropriate / impractical these days.

IIRC I've only "deleted" about 4 users in 8 years or so.

ruaok: didn't make it to the office today, will send timesheets tomorrow

k

came home at a sane time today

hey enjayhch

if 8pm is sane for you, ok :P

hello ocharles! What happened to Acid2?

ocharles: left at 5.45 and home at about 6.30

huwha

hi enjayhch

<BANG>

MBChatLogger has changed the topic to: http://musicbrainz.org/#devel

welcome everyone!

please forgive me for not tracking too well. this head-cold isn't letting up just yet. :-(

hello!

hi!

enjayhch: so, did the BBC have an official rebuttal to: http://metabrainz.org/about/customers.html ?

ruaok: because of the page load time?

no, the "stylized BBC logo".

not heard anything more about it

never mind the page load time.

I wondered what UK parody laws are like. oh well, we'll see who gets their panties in a bunch next.

onward. reviews.

I think this will go quick. last week was a mixed bag in the MB world.

ocharles: you first?

Sure

I spent the week in SLO with ruaok, and had a great time hacking away

i spent just about the whole week working on improving the edit migration script

we now have this *done* and it runs in an appropriate time

with great results at that.

down from 12h to about 2h at most

well, I tried to run the script from the beginning and was rewarded with pages of errors.

some more cleanup work is required. :)

sadly, this sets me another week behind schedule, which is hopefully not too much of a problem because i'm still ahead of warp :)

ruaok: ok, we'll have to have a look at that

but it was running ok on mb.homeip.net when I left

then the branch was out of date...

I saw the massive wall of errors and left it.

can you please look after that after the meeting?

but, overall the script should run in a reasonable amount of time now.

the thing that was slow?

Moose object creation.

not a problem when you have a handful of them in a page request.

but when you need to create 10M of them in a short period of time, its really bogs down. :(

indeed

ocharles: can you also please look at the backlog of reviews?

I know there are a bunch of shipits that need committing.

warp: how was your week?

not very good

ah yea, well I should be in the office tomorrow, so i'll get them done first

:(

ocharles: ok.

warp: alas. :-(

I had some issues crop up unrelated to musicbrainz which has caused me to not work from wednesday till today.

but that is mostly resolved

anything interesting mon/tue?

good. :)

ok.

I was working on lazy loading in the release editor as some of you may remember

most of that is done, there were still some issues with adding a new disc and such.

haven't tested it at all with a new release (so there's nothing to lazy load)

so, hopefully a good day of hacking and it's on code review.

good. lets hope for that tomorrow.

as for me, ocharles mostly covered it.

we did some hacking on the script, which is in good shape now.

we also did some team building (read: drink beer)

:D

it was nice to actually fart around with ocharles in the same room and work on some optimization stuff.

next year it will be warp's turn. :)

\o/

but on the last day ocharles was here I came down with a cold, which was getting better over the weekend.

i luckily seemed to have escaped that... so far

but today its not doing so well. I'll probably just head back to bed after this meeting.

ocharles: esp after flying for so long. good job.

enjayhch: anything new from the BBC?

well now my body clock is just... gone, but at least it's no illness

jetlag is tons of fun. :)

I have been working on a MusicBrainz tagger for video clips

for use inside the BBC

enjayhch: woah, sounds cool

talks to an internal database that contains prgramme information, called PIPs

that has a RESTful API

it allows Content Producers to put video clips on artist pages

+1

eg

(for those of you in the uk)

(not available in your area) :-(

should allow use to display artists on clip pages too

that is all from me I think

sounds promising. :)

kurtjx: anything from you?

well jet lag

i've done a couple blog posts

lol.

oh yes!

realized one is a horrible mistake

good.

i grossly over estimated number of rdfa pages

117B is way off.

its just the sum of all entities.

yest it's like 12m

that sounds right.

right no multiply

so gonna fix that

but, the 117B number hit the tweetverse. heh.

yes afraid it may have already

i talked thru it with a guy a qmul

and we were both like

well, its only an order of magnitude. not a big deal, right?

hehe

like two orders really

oh yeah. :)
