        A few non-critical add-ons have been disabled as incompatible for now.
      • The next steps are to convert our server to a Jira Data Center instance, and then
      • either to update the current host or to move to a new host managed with Ansible.
      • Finally, I reopened upgrading the MB search server and am now looking forward to nail it through teamwork.
      • Fin, go aerozol?
      • MonkeyPython
        as a mattter of curiosity, at what level of % language does it become an option in the beta? to test with...
      • aerozol
        Oops, someone else please, I'm between kitchen and compy atm haha
      • yvanzo
        No problem, go bitmap?

        hey
      • during the last couple of weeks I continued working on fixing bugs and test failures in https://github.com/metabrainz/musicbrainz-serve...
      • submitted a PR for MBS-13327
      • BrainzBot
        MBS-13327: Don't unlink recording from track when removing feat. artists https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MBS-13327
      • bitmap
        resolved an out-of-disk-space issue on jimmy Sunday night which was caused by some unfortunate timing of heavy I/O on aretha
      • and started working on moving the JSON dumps to hendrix to mitigate such issues in the future
      • other than that, I was working on implementing edit classes for adding/editing/removing/reordering event art (trying to share as much code with releases as possible)
      • and did a small amount of code review
      • fin! go mayhem
      • mayhem
        hey
      • over xmas I gave myself a present: time to hack.
      • in the LB content resolver, I implemented: LB radio support, subsonic API support, daily jams against local collections.
      • whenever some track can't be resolved, it keeps track of that and you can get a report about what you should add to your collection to better resolve playlists.
      • then I implemented periodic jams for local.
      • and track duplicate detection, as a bonus feature.
      • for the past two weeks I've just been listening to my collection that I've neglected for a long time, but no more.
      • I hope to finish a few more key things and then push out a new release.
      • and the goal of all of this is to get the navidromes, funwhales, gonics etc to have playlisting tools -- because these people are our people.
      • this was the nerd out I wanted to have 23 year ago. finally!
      • lucifer
        🎉🎉
      • mayhem
        and since the new year I did finances and tallied up much we spent on the summit, but more on that in a bit.
      • I've got a busy week with everything and contracts and such. so bear with me.

        Hi everyone!!
      • Last 2-3 weeks were pretty good. I finally got done with my exams, and spent a good amount of time to complete my pending work
      • I finished off most of the work on the Artist Similarity Page. Just need to fix the mobile view of the graph.
      • Other than that I started working on the new LB Homepage. And spent some time on LB and BB tickets.
      • And started working on migrating ListenBrainz to SPA and have routing handled by React now instead of Flask. So we can have a smooth navigation experience. I had a good discussion with monkey on this and we have broken down the project into phases.
      • Currently I’ve migrated the profile pages to SPA and have removed almost all the pages using Jinja Templates. I just need to make sure sentry works fine with react-router-dom to make it ready for review. After we’re done with this, I’ll then migrate the User Feed Pages, and the Explore pages to SPA.
      • Thats it for me

        lucifer: next?
      • lucifer
        hi all!
      • last couple of weeks, i worked with monkey on doing the final things left to push out the YIM stuff.
      • there were lots of bug fixes after the release too.
      • did some work on improving the album selection for the mbid mapper, some bug fixes and enhancements for artist/album pages.
      • lots of other misc bug fixes.
      • zas: next?
      • zas
        Hey
      • last weeks I mostly worked on Picard, PR reviews, and related stuff.
      • I also ensured overall supervision, system upgrades, and user support (mainly access issues).
      • plus usual MB edits, and various minor tasks. Fin. akshaaatt ?
      • no akshaaatt ? aerozol ?
      • aerozol
        Hey!
      • I probably could have done this via phone, because it turns out all I really did over the break was stay on top of socials
      • And a mess of little tickets
      • Collated a bunch of YIM feedback into tickets and replied to a lot, recently
      • Quite a bit of work on the weekend to cover all the bases on our YIM posts. YIM is awesome but making it go-live without doing announcements at the same time is a decision we’ll have to look at before doing it again next year
      • That’s me, kellnerd?
      • kellnerd
        Hi :)
      • Thanks to your awesome work on YIM, I've finally decided to give recording my listens with ListenBrainz a try (with an alt account as I still don't want my personal data associated with my main account name).
      • aerozol
        Sounds like some guilty listens :P
      • (but more seriously, fair enough)
      • kellnerd
        As I mostly listen to music using hardware players or analog devices, I was looking for ways to submit my listens.
      • Although there were existing solutions, I had a lot of fun writing my own LB API client in TypeScript and a few accompanying parser/importer tools ☺️
      • Code and automatically generated documentation are available here: https://deno.land/x/listenbrainz@v0.3.0
      • Fin, go jasje!
      • jasje
        Hello everyone!
      • reosarevok
        Other people on my list: akshaaatt
      • jasje
        last week we finally pushed the timer update to LB Android 2.5.0 beta
      • the submissions are consistent and some bugs like instant listen submission, missing metadata when song is repeated etc. are squashed.
      • The service has been optimised along with the new timer implementation.
      • do try it out and provide feedback
      • apart from that
      • I've been conducting reviews for YIM 23 by pranavkonidena_
      • he's been doing a fabulous job
      • !m pranavkonidena_
      • BrainzBot
        You're doing good work, pranavkonidena_!
      • jasje
        Next update will be a banger
      • maybe pranavkonidena_ might wanna say a few words?
      • (start by hello)
      • aerozol
        They look offline, but we should invite them to the next meeting for sure!
      • jasje
        saddie
      • akshaaatt: go!
      • kellnerd
        Also offline?
      • lucifer
        yup seems that way
      • reosarevok
        Ok, thanks for the reviews!
      • jasje
        </BANG>
      • reosarevok
        nope
      • We have a bunch of topics on the agenda
      • jasje
        oww
      • reosarevok
        First: Discord bridge (aerozol, lucifer)
      • aerozol
        Premature finish jasje! Don’t worry, it happens to everyone
      • jasje
        xDDDD
      • aerozol
        lucifer was amazing and did a successful test doing a Discord to IRC bridge
      • As far as I know we can make it happen as soon as we’ve agreed on how to do it
      • Kioiokiokio joined the channel
      • lucifer
        yup
      • yvanzo
        lucifer: are you connected through Discord at the moment?
      • lucifer
        nope not at the moment
      • (fwiw i personally hate discord)
      • aerozol
        So the question is, is everyone okay with letting Discord users read and post here? I was going to suggest we make a channel on discord where people can read and post to #musicbrainz. And maybe a read-only channel to #metabrainz
      • monkey
        I see no issue with that plan
      • jasje
        +1
      • aerozol
        The reasoning is that this is certainly going to bring a large amount of traffic to IRC - it might be disruptive for #metabrainz
      • #musicbrainz I don’t know if we have that concern
      • yvanzo
        👍
      • mayhem
        not into #metabrainz, plz. #Musicbrainz I can see.
      • lucifer
        for #metabrainz let's just wait a second, the next topic is about that.
      • aerozol
        Then we can review the next meeting after it’s implemented
      • Cool, well if there’s no complaints let’s do that. If it’s a clusterfuck we can just turn it off
      • rdswift
        If you're just testing first, perhaps a new channel?
      • aerozol
        Done I think?
      • mayhem
        I'm all for trying it. if it turns out to be a shit-show, we can always stop it.
      • aerozol
        smaller scale tests have been done by lucifer already rdswift :)
      • lucifer
        we control the bridge so we can turn it off anytime so not an issue
      • rdswift
        I actually meant "evaluation" rather than test.
      • Always an issue when you take something away after granting it.
      • mayhem
        can we move on now?
      • rdswift
        Yup. Sorry.
      • reosarevok
        Ok, so, we're testing it, and hoping the youths behave
      • Next, IRC alternatives (mayhem, lucifer)!
      • lucifer
        🤞
      • mayhem wanna take the lead?
      • or should i?
      • mayhem
        you go
      • opal has quit
      • lucifer
        we are looking to migrate off IRC because using IRC without IRCCloud is not a very friendly experience so its unfair to new contributors and many other community members.
      • opal joined the channel
      • the IRC channel will still exist and people are free to choose between using IRC or the alternative we migrate to.
      • IRC will be bridged both ways to the alternative we choose.
      • rdswift
        👍
      • lucifer
        the alternatives that have been mentioned are discord, zulip and matrix.
      • mayhem
        meh discord.
      • lucifer
        i'll give a little info about it and then we can open it up for discussion.
      • mayhem
        did you get an idea how much effort it would be to setup zuplip and matrix.
      • could we setup both and everyone test their favorite? then we vote?
      • lucifer
        matrix is the closest UI/UX to IRC. a single chat room.
      • zulip has a different UX, you need topics and streams etc.
      • sure i guess that makes more sense.
      • so i'll setup bridges from zulip and matrix to this channel and everyone can evaluate then
      • open for discussion
      • bitmap
        anything that doesn't require a bloated electron app is fine with me
      • mayhem
        if it isn't to much effort.
      • lucifer
        also feel free to suggest any other alternatives if you have in mind
      • aerozol
        If we keep the Discord bridge I don’t really care where the *real* message hosting is. We have the accessibility angle covered
      • mayhem
        fair point, rd
      • +swift
      • yvanzo
        Zulip is run by nice people, met them as a mentor a few years ago. (That doesn’t mean it is good to go.)
      • lucifer
        zulip is a change in ux from irc.
      • mayhem
        indeed, same experience here.
