this week I'll probably setup a sandbox for him to push his WIP code to

heh, well he doesn't seem to be awake when I am usuaully, so most of it was email :(

oy, that is rough.

I can put some of the stuff I wrote on the wiki

anyways, later I investigate the source of some ISEs we've been getting that turned out to be lolo having old packages

not sure why yet, I still have to follow up on that

later I did some code review, worked on MBS-7987 so that series items get ordered by date, and did some more work on porting our menu code to react

aand I think that's about it, so fin!

thanks!

no reo. ianmcorvidae?

I could go

go weeksio_

I think I've been making more progress lately after a slow start

losts of solr xml config stuff

lots^

dealing with java dependencies....yay maven

you can follow my progress here: https://github.com/jeffweeksio/mbsssss/tree/por...

I'll be further configuring solr and hopeful to get a sandbox up soon

I guess that's it

k, remember to ask question here when you get stuck.

even though we don't have a lot of java knowledge, its enough. :)

reosarevok: good timing, you're next.

I do...folks on #solr have been helpful too

haha

good, glad to hear it

Some more wikipedia link fixing in preparation for the wd change, mostly

That and answering emails was most of this week, I have been having dumb schedules so not super productive

Hopefully more next week, and the idea is also to take another look at style tickets and find a couple that need discussion and opening that discussion

Since there's nothing else going on at the moment it seems like a good time

But that's about it

k.

I've got a response from google about the freebase, knowledge graph stuff, but its not very helpful.

I'll forward later, reosarevok

Ok :)

I spent quite a bit of time last week working on clarifying how the dev team should be doing its work.

there is lots of confusion, so I started writing a series of posts that try and answer the questions I've been getting.

I'm hoping to contribute another one tomorrow.

though this week is dicey for me, since Barcelona Music Hack day activities start on wednesday.

many music tech folks will be in town, so I'll be offline/distracted for large chunks of the week.

I also spent some time looking after search servers.

I fixed one bug where some recording queries would timeout.

but that didn't fix it, so I had to clean out a pile of stuck procs from the front ends.

the process that ianmcorvidae outlined for me works pretty well, even if it is tedious.

there are new SSL packages available for our gateways, so I'm going to try and finish the config on the gateways tomorrow so fail-over works.

once that does, I can upgrade each of the gateways to install the ssl updated packages.

and, I also wanted to point out that I'm going on a much needed "vacation" to Nowhere (Euro burning man) from July 2 - July 14.

the days leading up to the second will also be more dicey, since prep for it always takes a huge amount of time. from july 2 - 14 I'll be fully AFK.

on the customer front, we reached agreements with 8tracks and BMAT here in Barcelona last week.

Still waiting on getting logos and other details form them. but that will amount to another $750/month.

lots more companies to pester, I'll keep working on that.

thats it for me.

Freso, Leo_Verto : anything from the BookBrainz front?

I can type some stuff about my week too

please do, Gentlecat

most of it was full of improvements for existing dataset features on AB

separated some json validation code to allow creating "empty" datasets

implemented a way to make private datasets

+ some minor stuff like fancy new favicons

and code reviews/merging for CB

thank you for that! :)

good luck. when are you done?

or supposed to be done?

july 1

anyone else for any updates?

we cancelled our meeting last Friday because no one had any energy

so yeah. nothing really happened

rough week?

yep, everyone has been pretty busy

I feel that. :(

anyways, last call for updates.

onward to topics.

first off might be moot without ianmcorvidae around.

I'm getting reports that our incoming mail sometimes bounces.

Not sure, but it might be connected to wiley ailing a bit.

that brings the question: if we can finally get rid of mailing lists, do we need an inbound email server?

most of our email gets directed to non-mb accounts (read: gmail).

we could move the domain to gandi, which allows a shit ton of mail redirects.

and if we do that, then we get rid of one more complicated thing to host.

let's leave that topic for next week.

next topic is also me.

brewster introduced me to the fellow behind classical-discography.org

has anyone ever encountered that before?

reosarevok?

Nope

Checking now

is that bootstrap?

Hmm, looks interesting

Leo_Verto: yep.

anyways, the question/statement was: Let's collaborate!

but without any further comments/suggestions.

so, if anyone has any, please let me know. :)

right. anything else going on we should discuss?

ok, lets go enjoy the day then.

thanks everyone!

ruaok: I actually need some help with setting up mbsandbox for CB

that is ianmcorvidae's domain. ping him when he is awake

okay

you probably can just reuse old one

I guess that still requires some reconfiguration

bitmap, if you've written up any sort of guide to the mb server code, I'd be happy to wikifiy it.

that might be the shortest route to getting going.

Gentlecat: i already have an account (i can ssh into rika) and have setup the code/venv

there's critiquebrainz.mbsandbox.org

i need db config too, and how should I use the fcgi file?

CallerNo6: not really, just a rambly email to ruchiranga about some of our JavaScript tooling, but I can forward it to you

bitmap, received. thanks!

luks: interesting, I wonder how much of it was actual resource usage

the claim for a well-tuned EP server is on the order of 50 queries per second

alastairp: how was that lecture.

?

ruaok: a lecture by a composer ;)

a performance, then?

really interesting in that regard - seeing all the technology/science that we’ve come to learn but through the eyes of “what music can I make with it"

nah, part history, part composition though process/explanation of his works

was good though?

you didn’t miss out on a lot

:-/

unless you’re into the boulez school of composition

the history might've been nice

hearing it from the source was neat

but I think I had read about most if not all of it from other places

I was wondering if that was going to be the case.

it was neat seeing this guy at SF music tech: http://www.tomoberheim.com/

analog come on… :)

the thing that got me was that people said of his devices: "each one has its own soul"

and then he says "I've always used tantalum capacitors for my synths"

"only later did I find out that you shoulnd't do that"

I'm normally not an analog guy, but I have loads more respect for this dude.

his knoweldge and understanding of electronics is amazing

http://ftp.musicbrainz.org/pub/musicbrainz/pica... -> Not found ?

http://mirrors.dotsrc.org/MusicBrainz/picard/pi... not found too

What happened ? Binary download links from http://picard.musicbrainz.org/downloads/ don't work atm

it seems to have copied in a weird way

http://ftp.musicbrainz.org/pub/musicbrainz/pub/... has a bunch of stuff

but I dunno why there's two pub/musicbrainz folders

perhaps ruaok or OSU/dotsrc changed something about the rsync task, that's where I'd start in investigating it

I would suggest using the dotsrc mirror for the next day or so.

I guess dotsrc is copying from them? http://mirrors.dotsrc.org/MusicBrainz/pub/music... exists and is missing a bunch of stuff

damn.

data.musicbrainz.org which is the master source. but it is slow. :(

let me ping lance
