You know atj -- he's been helping us for months now.
2022-02-07 03854, 2022
zas
atj: welcome !!

thank you for that!

thanks everyone
2022-02-07 03815, 2022
CatQuest
welcome atj!
2022-02-07 03822, 2022
mayhem
and he wanted to jump in a bit more and approached me about giving some of his time pro bono
2022-02-07 03829, 2022
bitmap
atj: welcome!
2022-02-07 03841, 2022
mayhem
in order to help Zas -- because zas has too much stuff to do and atj saw that.
2022-02-07 03846, 2022

"Wow, the sysadmin team doubled in size"

2022-02-07 03832, 2022
mayhem
this is also for the clarification of our privacy policy -- I wanted to be able to write a 1GBP value contract so that we can give atj access to our infrastructure and not violate our privacy policy.
2022-02-07 03805, 2022
mayhem
that said, I should caution that atj will not be spending as much time on the project as others here -- he still has a day job.
2022-02-07 03821, 2022
mayhem
so, welcome atj!
2022-02-07 03823, 2022
CatQuest
soo.. about the time he's been spending already then?
2022-02-07 03827, 2022
CatQuest
basiclaly al lthe time here :D
2022-02-07 03830, 2022
mayhem
wanna say anything atj?
2022-02-07 03812, 2022
atj
thanks to everyone for making me feel so welcome, and thanks in particular to mayhem and zas for being receptive to my offer and making the process very straightforward
2022-02-07 03829, 2022
mayhem
yes, that was quite easy!
2022-02-07 03842, 2022
mayhem
atj: when you're done, pick someone else for reviews. :)
2022-02-07 03847, 2022
mayhem
I'll take my turn in due time.
2022-02-07 03810, 2022
atj
I've wanted to help out on the infra side for some time, but that wasn't possible due to the privacy issues as mentioned by mayhem, so this seemed like a good solution.
2022-02-07 03816, 2022
reosarevok
Oooh, welcome atj
2022-02-07 03858, 2022
atj
anyway, I have some time with zas tomorrow and I've been reading the syswiki, but it's going to take me some time to become familiar with how things work etc.
2022-02-07 03853, 2022
atj
so don't expect me to be too helpful for a while. My main concern at this stage is not making *more* work for zas :)
2022-02-07 03803, 2022
zas
we planned a meeting at 11:00 CET tomorrow, in order to give atj a wide view of our infrastructure
2022-02-07 03831, 2022
mayhem
akshaaatt, you might consider attending as well.
2022-02-07 03835, 2022
mayhem
perhaps even reosarevok.
2022-02-07 03840, 2022
mayhem runs away
2022-02-07 03841, 2022

Sure thing!!

Can't hurt
2022-02-07 03811, 2022
CatQuest will stay out of the way
2022-02-07 03830, 2022

2022-02-07 03838, 2022

Maybe I can find things that need documenting and make more work for zas ;p
2022-02-07 03846, 2022
atj
I think that's it really, I'm just looking forward to being able to work closer with everyone and hopefully make peoples lives easier.
2022-02-07 03847, 2022

no manual intervention is needed now when a user wants their musicbrainz user name to be changed.

lucifer is now lucifer!
2022-02-07 03848, 2022
CatQuest bets they can break it
2022-02-07 03851, 2022
CatQuest will not

I worked on porting the recording similarity queries to spark and had a few discussions about it with mayhem.
2022-02-07 03838, 2022
mayhem
good job moving it to spark so fast!
2022-02-07 03856, 2022

also reviewed a couple of CB PRs for Ansh.
2022-02-07 03809, 2022
lucifer
thank you for the contributions, Ansh !
2022-02-07 03831, 2022

there were some stale CB PRs too which I picked up yesterday and finished.

alastairp
! great!
2022-02-07 03800, 2022

other than that dealt with bugs resulting from user id deployment.

2022-02-07 03813, 2022
alastairp
hi
2022-02-07 03837, 2022
alastairp
as lucifer said, we rolled out the last of the user id stuff, and also merged and released all of the documentation that was worked on over doc week
2022-02-07 03852, 2022
alastairp
as a result, we got under 1 page of PRs!
2022-02-07 03836, 2022
alastairp
with monkey we fixed a bug in the format of playlists and how they're showed on LB
2022-02-07 03836, 2022
lucifer
:D
2022-02-07 03814, 2022
reosarevok
Wow, under 1 page of PRs
2022-02-07 03817, 2022

Maybe one day
2022-02-07 03846, 2022
alastairp
monkey, mayhem and I had a good discussion earlier in the week working out some next steps for MetaBrainz/RecommendationBrainz, the biggest result was deciding to stop work on AB, as we can see that it's not bringing us the kind of results that we want, and we think that we don't have the resources or experience to build it
2022-02-07 03802, 2022
mayhem
sad but true
2022-02-07 03807, 2022
CatQuest
:C
2022-02-07 03812, 2022
alastairp
so this turned into a discussion about what we can save from the project, and how we can continue to bring interesting recommendation tools to *Brainz
2022-02-07 03833, 2022
TOPIC: MetaBrainz Community and Development channel | MusicBrainz non-development: #musicbrainz | BookBrainz: #bookbrainz | Channel is logged; see https://musicbrainz.org/doc/IRC for details | Agenda: Reviews, GSoC Ideas List (lucifer), Google Fonts: ORG-51 (lucifer), git branches auto-deletion (yvanzo), Valentine’s Day meeting? (Freso)
2022-02-07 03835, 2022
alastairp
the big realisation being that for 90% of what we want to do, we have an amazing data resource in MB and LB
2022-02-07 03817, 2022
alastairp
the concept of AB works well for "the long tail", the stuff that isn't popular, but the amount of work to make this happen is wayyyyyy more than the easy stuff, so we want to focus on that first and see what comes out. monkey can talk a bit more about what he's been doing
2022-02-07 03844, 2022
alastairp
so off the back of that conversation, I started a few PRs to shut down some parts of AB (data submission), and drafted a blog post, and had a few discussions on the forum
2022-02-07 03855, 2022
alastairp
monkey: want to continue?
2022-02-07 03859, 2022

Sure thing

(Hello!)
2022-02-07 03842, 2022
monkey
One my side of this discussion, we talked about how to transfer some of how to tag recordings by mood in MusicBrainz, and how to make it easy and enticing for users to add tags/genres/moods in ListenBrainz.
2022-02-07 03820, 2022
monkey
I've been reading papers about mood classification and how it relates to music, as well as the research being done on music mood recognition.
2022-02-07 03816, 2022
monkey
It's a fascinating and complex subject matter. now I'm trying to apply all this and reduce it to a usable mood tagging interface that we can use in LB (and MB)
2022-02-07 03859, 2022
monkey
Apart from taht I also did a lot of PR Reviewing, and helping contributors with ongoing projects
2022-02-07 03811, 2022
monkey
Spent a bit of time on the design system
2022-02-07 03838, 2022
monkey
And we moved around some services in order to do some server maintenance
2022-02-07 03859, 2022
monkey
Apart from what has been mentioned before, that is all !
2022-02-07 03800, 2022

oh, that's right

akshaaatt
Hi everyone!
2022-02-07 03850, 2022
akshaaatt
Last week I had a meeting with the MB team and we discussed how we need to revamp MB in small chunks for better reviews
2022-02-07 03813, 2022
akshaaatt
So I started to advance on that and along the way we integrated the design system into MB!
After that I automated the release process and the some other configurations
2022-02-07 03834, 2022
akshaaatt
Then*
2022-02-07 03819, 2022
akshaaatt
So far the majority of the work is done and we can start relaxing and simply adding small components which is great!
2022-02-07 03850, 2022
akshaaatt
Then I had some discussion with yellowhatpro who has been working on the android app lately
2022-02-07 03805, 2022
akshaaatt
Great work going on!
2022-02-07 03814, 2022
akshaaatt
That's about it for me. Go bitmap!
2022-02-07 03822, 2022
bitmap
hey
2022-02-07 03850, 2022
bitmap
last week I spent most of my time on code review and helping with various PRs, particularly related to the homepage revamp and design-system
2022-02-07 03801, 2022
akshaaatt
Thanks bitmap!
2022-02-07 03818, 2022
bitmap
but also updated some MBS ones & helped debug some issues in the release merge page React-conversion one
2022-02-07 03856, 2022
bitmap
later in the week I submitted a couple refactoring PRs to fix Flow-upgrade issues and remove some deprecated Perl module that spams warnings
2022-02-07 03857, 2022
mayhem
I can't tell you all how happy I am that we now finally are making serious progress on having more design skills and making our projects look better. super happy!
2022-02-07 03820, 2022
bitmap
+1!
2022-02-07 03845, 2022
bitmap
besides that I spent time time cleaning up some schema change PRs for tag & area_containment triggers, & release_coverart removal
2022-02-07 03806, 2022
bitmap
fin. go reosarevok
2022-02-07 03820, 2022
reosarevok
Hi!
2022-02-07 03841, 2022
reosarevok
I was mostly working on documenting our tests (which of course also meant finding some bugs in our tests)
2022-02-07 03844, 2022
CatQuest
Freso: who is left
2022-02-07 03855, 2022
Freso
(People up for reviews: yvanzo, mayhem, zas, CatQuest, Freso – anyone else who’d like to give review, let me know ASAP. :))
2022-02-07 03808, 2022
reosarevok
I'm nowhere near done, but I'll keep working on it a folder or so at a time
2022-02-07 03830, 2022
reosarevok
Once we know what we *do* test we'll also have a better understanding of what we don't, and we can add it
2022-02-07 03800, 2022
reosarevok
Also, instead of 50 lines of 1 ok, 2 ok, etc now the tests say what they're doing, which feels great
2022-02-07 03820, 2022
reosarevok
Other than that, I worked with CatCat on the how-to-be-an-instrument-person document, which is pretty much done
2022-02-07 03835, 2022
reosarevok
And with drsaunde on the how-to-request-areas document, which is also almost done
