#musicbrainz-devel

and the rest of the week I spent packaging our musicbrainz-server deps for trusty, mostly

thanks for that! massive progress on the VM because of this.

besides that I reviewed some of ruchiranga's code and fixes an issue with compile_resources during chef provisioning

fin

thanks!

my week felt a little discombobulated.

lots and lots of little stuff that didn't seem to add up to much.

I spent time getting caught up on the VM and making good progress on that, but if it wasn't for bitmaps packaging work, I'd still be no further.

I also setup machines on google cloud hosting for freso's new chat logger setup.

and one for weeksio. Since google gave us $10k in funds for exactly this purpose. it was time to use that money. :)

I also did various bits of sysadming stuff on the nagios front. still more to do.

of course there were the background answering emails.

and I realized that I needed help at lest on some fronts.

so I started a discussion with Freso about hiring him to be our community manager.

in case you all missed it.

so far, no complaints and only small bits of feedback.

I'm hoping that will make my life a little easier since I seem to be falling behind and not really making headway on work related things.

i"ve asked the board to approve hiring that hippie ^H^H^H^H^H^HFreso.

Oh, snap. I forget it was Monday. Will it be a quick meeting?

we'll see what they say.

:)

Freso: If you keep your mouth shut, maybe. :)

fin.

Don't hire Freso, he always misses the start of meetings! :P

Freso: Go

srsly

Well, nothing to report, really.

Talked with ruaok a bit, as mentioned in the blog post. Nothing to report apart from that, I think.

fin.

whoops

too literal, sometimes, Freso. :)

reosarevok: you?

Oh, right. The chat logger. Not much progress on that, since things happened that distracted me, and I need to move a bunch of packages over from AUR3 to AUR4 before Saturday. fin fin.

ok, who else is around? weeksio? dufferzafar?

I can go

go

I indexed all entities in a solr search server on my sandbox, and solr is running.

(But it's running, just needs to get nginx set up and a plugin tweaked (which I think Leo_Verto has already done).)

I really wish a VM was suggested from the beginning. I feel like I wasted a bit of time trying to get this up on rika.

sorry, sometimes things come together in odd ways. :(

Thanks to ruaok for recognizing this and making the suggestion! And thanks to bitmap for helping me with rika...

Use my -web fork and ignore the failing tests :P

Known issues are in the following repos: (solr schema)http://tinyurl.com/ok8mbxc (mb response writer)http://tinyurl.com/np7jm3u (sir: mb to solr importer)http://tinyurl.com/pp5fgnk

rika needs to be retired or revamped. seems to be more trouble than its worth these days. :(

I'm working on a blog post to go along with a VM release that will include the solr search server.

(also, I'm here now)

I will be more specific regarding where I am and what I'd like the community to test in that post.

We had house guests over the weekend so I didn't get any work done, but I should be relatively distraction free for the remainder of the GSoC program.

(I also have no plans to disappear following GSoC)

done

not permanetly, I hope. :)

reosarevok: your turn

:-)

Also finished migrating this lyrics host that annoyingly changed all the URLs

That was basically it, I'd say

(also, I really wish I knew why msn/hotmail love to eat our verification mails - it's pretty much always them when there are issues)

oh, yeah, I did a jira test import into their cloud setup. it died spectacurlarly.

ok, who else?

ruaok: are they fixing that?

they better, LordSputnik. as soon as I get the chance to promperly file a bug report.

actually...

otherwise an incremental upgrade might work

can anyone thing of a reason why I couldn't just hand Leo_Verto a dump of Jira and let him work on it?

:P

privacy issues come to mind.

but everything in jira is public, save for the email addresses.

Well, he's a core team member in BB, so how it's that different from giving it to, say, bitmap?

so, it comes down to this: do we trust Leo_Verto with our email addresses?

(unless the being paid thing matters)

bitmap is paid and contracted :P

reosarevok: Leo_Verto isn't bound by a contract.

I certainly trust Leo_Verto, but that's not speaking for everyone who's entered their email into JIRA

doesn't it also have passwords?

well, you could just remove the email collumn and somehow re-add that lateron

Gentlecat: likely.

hopefully strongly hashed though

well, the dump is an XML files.

I suppose I could parse them out and if that import works, do the final import with the email addresses in place.

let me have a look at the dump and see if I can sanitize it to make this easier.

feh. sometimes the CoC binds us uncessarily. :(

onward anways. Gentlecat: how about you?

I merged core of dataset evaluation functionality

and made some tweaks to support python 3

that is in AcousticBrainz

also reviewed moderation stuff from dufferzafar for CB and deployed that

so now we have moderators and easier way to remove spam

done.

\ø/

wrt to CB: I would love everyone to think about how we can raise the awareness that CB exists.

I have some ideas for when things calm down a little.

maybe not a lot of people aren't so much interested in music reviews?

ok, anyone else for review?

I'll go

go

We made some good progress on BB this week, and there should be a release tonight, all being well :) It was going to be yesterday, but we decided to test and fix bugs before we release this time instead of afterwards :P

For those interested, when there are X's next to everything on this list: http://pastebin.com/mdY3nQ4a it'll be close to release time :)

This release will feature Lobes style, new homepage, revision viewing and deleting of entities

And some other tweaks and improvements

done :)

I'm meeting with monkey tomorrow to discuss what else needs finishing on the logo/design front.

I PR'd some changes to the Lobes repo too

so alerts are clearer now, and buttons line up better with input fields

Other than that it's mostly fine, from what we've experienced

ok, cool. thanks.

maybe that repo should be moved to github.com/metabrainz?

yeah, probably. :)

someone make a ticket for me.

I don't even remember where to find it

oh, can we get logo-only versions of the logos?

as in, with no text?

I mean, I have already done that manually, but official ones would be nice :P

That reminds me, Gentlecat was asking about improving text in the logos

MEB-10, reosarevok

heh, yeah, I was sending it when he posted it :)

k, I'll bring all this up tomorrow.

k, what else?

I dont have any agenda items, since I'm still drowning in fallout from the past 3 weeks.

Not much from me. bitmap, I guess you didn't manage to look into this messaging thing?

Fallout hype!!!

(and I dont expect that to improve very soon)

Wait, what?

well, can't you hand over some of that fallout to Freso now?

Freso: :D I'm installing Fallout 3 right now. I too read that :p

reosarevok: not in the last week

Ok :)

some, but there is only a few things that fit into his job description and that is already super packed.

Which reminds me, do I get a job description too? :p

yep, totally

I'm honestly not sure anymore which of the things I do are part of my actual job, and which parts are not (not that I would stop doing them anyway I don't think, but I'm still curious :p)

I need to run to the store... so I need to leave for a bit, probably won't be back before meeting's end.

I'd like to focus on sitemaps this week to get it out of the picture

I've got something that is part of your job: writing a job description. :)

bitmap: <3

I would love love love that.

so we can finally be done.

reosarevok, http://jobtitlegenerator.com/

reosarevok: more seriously, I am doing that for everyone. bitmap and you are next.
