alastairp: I merged sqlalchemy branch

Cool. I've almost finished changing messybrainz over

my kitchen just converged.

goal for today is to get tests working and to have a look at russs's PR

and start work on the todo items listed in it.

Gentlecat: Alastair and I are giving a public launch presentation about LB here in BCN on thursday or so.

we clearly have some more work to get done.

I would be happy to pay you extra hours this month if you have time to help out on the LB front.

mmm, launch presentation

different from lunch presentation. :)

yeah, sure

\ø/

I've got some time for a couple of weeks

so, LB-3, testing setup and then improving user listen displays are on the short list where you could help.

and then user graphs.

user graphs?

a listen histogram, really.

how many listens were recorded over a period of time.

oh, that kind of graph

which roughly amounts to copying what you did for metabrainz.org

ruaok: I hope it's OK that I CC you on these mails. I feel like you should be kept up with what's going on. :)

seems like copying is all we do these days :)

Gentlecat: that is winning, no?

for sure

alastairp: you about?

bitmap: what's this 'MBS-8370' part in https://bitbucket.org/metabrainz/musicbrainz-se...

for documentation purposes?

so, i have a question concerning this summit … if i were to donate obscene amounts of chocolate … where would i need to send it too?

or are you good on that front

are you coming to the summit?

no

but chocolate is something i really could contribute :D

ah, then we're probably good. we'll bring too much to eat ourselves. :)

where do you live? what kind of chocolate?

3km away from ritter sport

that's why i ask

ah yes!

well, I need a pile of german chocolate for the GSoC summit, so that could help.

I'd be happy to pay you back for that purpose.

could head down to their schokoladen, they sometimes have new kinds to try and so on

yes! anything off the beaten path would be good.

and maybe we could just mail it to chirlu` and ask him to bring it.

that keeps the shipping costs low

(and reduces the chances of it melting in the spanish heat)

this!

let's see what chirlu` says about that.

jep, gsoc is about at the same time as summit right_

?

yeah, usually are. alastair, bitmap and I all leave about the same time, iirc

http://www.ritter-sport.de/.galleries/0501_Wald... so beautiful :D

OMFG

and we'll need at least 5 bars of marzipan for Aleta, my partner in crime.

I just polished off the last one we had

Yeah, I can probably do that, especially if it works out that I can take the train.

ruaok, alastairp: any idea what's happening there https://gist.github.com/gentlecat/a80fae52be680...

there is a nice direct Barcelona <-> Paris TGV now.

Gentlecat: that leader is not available error?

yes

That apparently happens the first time that a kafka channel is written to.

Yes, I know. It’s more about which prices apply to the relation. :)

chirlu`: got it.

chirlu`: interestingly enough flying is much cheaper. which I find really sad.

Gentlecat: it appears to be a non-issue.

Otherwise it’s great, ICE or TGV to Paris, then TGV to Barcelona.

but I think it would be good write a blank JSON document to each of the channels after kafka is first installed.

the writes ought to fail and then the leader has been selected, I guess?

subsequent writes succeed.

Gentlecat: Regarding bitmap’s comment, yes, it’s just a message that the test will output. Useful in case someone wonders “Why was this test added?” later.

chirlu`: yes, exactly.

I don't think it's working

"Sending page 28 of 834 to ListenBrainz [completed: 0]"

and list on my profile page is empty

interesting. the code on russs' branch works fine.

I'm learning more about cassandra right now, trying to be more effective at reviewing his PR.

you might try merging his branch and using that one.

chirlu`: got it. interesting that it's actually part of the code and not just some comment

give me a second, I didn't see it

In some way, all the tests are comments. :)

Gentlecat: what do you think about the listenstore being compiled and installed as an egg?

I don't see a reason why it needs to be installed into the python libs on the system. it is likely only ever going to be called from the local codebase.

what is it doing again?

is the the python code that is the wrapper around the cassandra store, which stores the listens

ok

time for döner.

why do we need to build it anyway?

that is exactly my question. I see no point in doing that.

just run it as another python script?

normally you do that if other projects on the system plan to use the library.

I think so yes.

I think this is a style difference between irccloud style and mb style.
