hmm. the new one looks better to me :/ maybe you could try adjusting the new one so that it looks better on your screen and tell us what colour you end up with?
2013-12-12 34620, 2013
nikki isn't sure how your screen works and only knows that you have weirdly huge screenshots XD

maybe I'm just too used to the old one...I'll stifle my complaint for now

Wait, where is the other colour?

(beta and prod look the same to me, if it's inline search)
livewire94: GitHub is officially our "canon" repository, but if you're going to develop against it, you might as well use Bitbucket, since we use Bitbucket pull requests and not GitHub ones. (For musicbrainz-server anyway.)

livewire94: Also, for some of the larger, possibly GSoC-worthy projects, the resumes from recent MusicBrainz Summits might give an idea about what we currently are trying to make happen.
2013-12-12 34647, 2013
Freso
(I'll try and dig them up - hold tight.)

Oh, good call, I should add that link to the GSoC ideas wiki page.
One thing I've considered possibly doing/suggesting as a GSoC is implementing the Web Service in Python to 1) decouple the Web Service from the Web Site, and 2) move code away from Perl and to Python. :p

+1

(There hasn't been an official decision that Python is the language we want to switch to, but it's the one that has my vote - and the doers' votes usually count high around here, so chances are it'd get accepted.)

Freso: you calling yourself a doer? :P
2013-12-12 34644, 2013
Freso
(But I also have no idea whether I'll actually have time to do a GSoC project this coming summer.)
2013-12-12 34646, 2013

warp: ^
2013-12-12 34609, 2013

oh, if you're gsoccing you'd be a doer, certainly.
2013-12-12 34610, 2013

If Freso does it, I'll document it.
2013-12-12 34625, 2013
Freso
warp: I guess if someone wanted to re-implement the WS in C++ and actually went and did it, it might also get accepted.
2013-12-12 34652, 2013
Freso
(There are a few languages I doubt would get accepted though, even if someone did it. :))
2013-12-12 34657, 2013
warp
that sounds a lot more maintenaince intensive though
2013-12-12 34640, 2013
Freso
Sure. And I'd definitely prefer Python over C++ too, but hey, who am I to judge?
2013-12-12 34652, 2013
warp
I say javascript! :)
2013-12-12 34653, 2013
Freso
livewire94: What's your personal interest in MusicBrainz?
2013-12-12 34635, 2013
CallerNo6
warp shouldn't joke about that. those node.js people are everywhere.
2013-12-12 34616, 2013
warp
CallerNo6: I wonder if I'm one of them.
2013-12-12 34634, 2013
Freso
livewire94: Also, what are you studying? (I'd guess Computer Science, but hey, I'm doing Sports Science, and I'm still considering GSoC'ing - there are weirdos everywhere. :p)
2013-12-12 34649, 2013
CallerNo6 was setting himself up for the punchline, "oh no! they've converted you too!"

I am studying Computer Science from IIIT Hyderabad

I actually like the idea behind MusicBrainz and yes I would to get a Gsoc project on MusicBrainz ! :)

UmkaDK joined the channel
2013-12-12 34632, 2013
livewire94
So should I begin working on the projects mentioned by Freso as potential Gsoc projects this summer ??
2013-12-12 34620, 2013
Freso
livewire94: Which project(s) exactly do you have in mind? Apart from the Web Service one, I don't think I've talked about anything in particular.
2013-12-12 34639, 2013
Freso
livewire94: What kind of Computer Science assignments do you like the most?
2013-12-12 34659, 2013
Freso
(Ie., what kind of problems do you prefer to work with?)
2013-12-12 34655, 2013
livewire94
I like algorithmic problems( I like participating in programming contests)
2013-12-12 34657, 2013
Freso
livewire94: Would you be able to join the channel here on Monday between 20:00 and 21:00 UTC?
2013-12-12 34606, 2013
livewire94
Ya sure ! :)
2013-12-12 34610, 2013
Freso
(I don't know what timezone it is where you live.)
2013-12-12 34612, 2013
Freso
livewire94: Alright.
2013-12-12 34601, 2013
Freso
livewire94: We have the weekly development meeting there. We could put you as a topic for next meeting and perhaps discuss a ticket or two to get you started on getting familiar with the musicbrainz-server code.
livewire94: If you have some music lying around, you might also want to try and edit some with MusicBrainz to get an idea for how the website/interface works.
Once you have some familiarity with how the editing process works and how the code is structured, you might also even have an idea about what you want to work with with regards to MusicBrainz.
2013-12-12 34618, 2013
Freso
Perhaps even something none of us regulars had thought about. :)
2013-12-12 34642, 2013
livewire94
Would you be interested to see the projects I have done in college so far ? :)
2013-12-12 34648, 2013
Freso
(Also, if you hang around in IRC enough, you'll get to hear plenty of complaints about all sorts of parts of MusicBrainz.)
just go to your terminal run the code type the name of the song and the song gets downloaded into the pwd
2013-12-12 34638, 2013

if it is present in emp3worlds database :p
2013-12-12 34601, 2013
Freso
Yep. I read that. ;)
2013-12-12 34600, 2013
Freso
It could be interesting to try and gamify the voting process perhaps. (I see you've done some game programming competing.)
2013-12-12 34610, 2013
Freso
But yeah. If you spend the next days adding some of your music collection to the database and lurk here and in #musicbrainz, you should at least be more aware about what MusicBrainz is, beyond just the fancy words in the mission statement. :)
2013-12-12 34627, 2013
livewire94
Yes can be done !! :D
2013-12-12 34630, 2013
livewire94
Sure
2013-12-12 34638, 2013
Freso
And then on Monday we can probably get you started on poking at the MB codebase. :)
2013-12-12 34652, 2013
livewire94
I'll do that... :)
2013-12-12 34611, 2013

Thanks for your help ! :)
2013-12-12 34614, 2013

Great. And of course, just feel free to ask any questions along the way. :)
