aCiD2 to got accepted too.

aCiD2: did you get in?

awesome!

ding :D

i got accepted by django, not musicbrainz unfortunately :)

BrianFreud: And they contemplated asking for more spots... (they didn't since a lot of other projects also asked, and Drupal were already one of the projects having gained most)

and how many applications did you get?

oh wow, nice!!

what's your project?

aCiD2: me? and wizard for picard

oo, funky

sonium: ah yes, I like that project

phatmonkey: Yeah, but not of high enough degree to even apply for GSoC. :)

Freso: don't give me that. /i/ got accepted :P

just came back from buying some candy for either celebration or for some comfort

niklas: when you get to that point where you need it, if you need huge numbers of files to scrape and dump at some collection system to test it, let me know, I can easily oblige :)

hehe

yes, may 10.

I had some bottles ready to celebrate or drown my sorrows with

Really?

You're older than me I thought!

aCiD2: I'm older than you but I'm in my first year at uni :P

Gotheburg, nice... do you know "In Flames"?

does http://code.google.com/soc/2008/metabrainz/appi... include "list of releases I own" ?

:D

because we're gathering in london may 10 and soc would be one of the topics.

sonium: hmmm are they swedish?

CatCat: yes! thats the whole point

I thought they came from Gothenburg

I have just heard some songs of them

thats possible

aCiD2: Aye. I dropped out of regular high school back in '03 and have done all sorts of things (like playing folk music and sailing traditional Norse single square rigs (ie., "Viking ships")) since then, before taking up school again.

Ah... In Flames... I recall vividly... going out to grab a beer while waiting for them to finish playing as opening act so I could see Judas Priest.

aCiD2: ah that's interesting

i'm in yr 13, technically i haven't really got a place at uni yet

ah I see

Jens Lekman is also from Gotheburg :-)

Mmm judas priest

phatmonkey: year 13... is that last year of 6th form?

guess they didn't mind!

phatmonkey: whereabouts are you?

yeah

I forgot what year I was in by the end :P

nikki: hertfordshire, uk

ah

:P

where'd you apply to for uni then?

Soundtrack of our Lives are also from Gotheburg !! :-)

Muzzz, oooo do it again

musicbrainz bash

what's this in london?

you should come down, ben

yea, on the 10th - general musicbrainz meet up

its still taking shape.

ruaok, suppose nows the time to announce the meet up on the list, too

oh cool

Fwiw, if people need a place to stay for the night in London, I have a sofa

well, i'm a bit of musicbrainz newbie really!

I'd like to have it in two parts. a more serious day time discussion including SoC.

(Don't expect anything fancy though)

then in the evening we'll go to a pub.

Is someone from london here?

is it shaped like a pony?

half the channel? lol

Bah. All the Swedish bands I listen to are in Stockholm. Zan Clan, Easy Action, (part of) Randy Piper's Animal, CRASHDÏET, etc.
