a user in the discord shared this link from IA, which seems to point toward uploading/content addition for at least *some* IA services coming back, and is wondering if it means CAA uploads might be restorable soon: https://blog.archive.org/2024/10/28/internet-ar...

Did minor fixes to the summit blog post, and added a picture of ansh !! Did I miss any other attendees from the individual pics? Let me know if so
last comment in the review: "this needs to be done (if at all) after the structure of the flairs has been decided."
any insight as to if we need flair structure?
monkey[m]
I believe what we discussed with lucifer and ansh was to store only a string representing each flair (instead of say a JSON object), so we can keep the resulting data lean and easy to work with
mayhem[m]
which means there is not validation possible/required?
monkey[m]
We will be caching that data, but makes sense to not bloat for limited reasons
Probably no validation
mayhem[m]
ok, then we can nuke the comment and move on.
monkey[m]
All the front-end will do (probably) is apply that string as a css class, so no bad failure scenarios
mayhem[m]
no bad, just the usual CSS failures, lol.
monkey[m]
Yesterday I was working on some CSS animations for the flairs, making sure we don't need to store anything else. Should be good with just a string
<monkey[m]> "ansh: I would also request, if..." <- Sure! I've opened this draft PR for flair settings page. We'll merge this into a feature branch again.
monkey[m]
The feature branch has been merged already, but I suppose we can still merge into it. That would be the donations branch, not donation-tiers (also merged)
Nope, feature branch deleted after merging :)
Can create a new branch if need be
Well, there we go: donation-flairs. I'll update LB#2988 to merge into it as well

MusicBrainz is a non-profit project that aims to create a collaborative music database. It was founded in response to restrictions placed on the Compact Disc Database (CDDB), a database for software applications to look up audio CD information on the Internet. MusicBrainz has expanded its goals to reach beyond a CD metadata storehouse to become a structured online database for music. It captures information about artists, their
recorded works, and the relationships between them. MusicBrainz allows contributors to upload cover art images of releases to the database; these images are hosted by Cover Art Archive (CAA), a joint project between Internet Archive and MusicBrainz started in 2012. Internet Archive provides the bandwidth, storage and legal protection for hosting the images, while MusicBrainz stores metadata and provides public access through the Web
and via an API for third parties to use.
reosarevok: getting lazy, having gemini write text for me. what do you think instead of the text that is in funding.json now?
reosarevok[m]
I thought the openresty thing replaced needing a file at all in mbs, hence pinging bitmap:
Should it mention the CAA, especially given the circumstances? 😅
Otherwise the text seems fine I guess
mayhem[m]
those are two different thigns.
one we need to serve: /.well-known/funding-manifest-urls and I just checked, that is now correctly deployed. (thanks @zas)
and for the other requirement we need to have that file in the repo, which shows that meb.org/funding.json may speak on behalf of the musicbrainz-server repo.
reosarevok[m]
Ah. That's annoying if we don't need it in the repo at all otherwise, but oh well
I'm afk at the moment but if it is needed we can merge it
mayhem[m]
not urgent, but if we can merge today, that would be great.
reosarevok[m]
Sure
bitmap[m]
ah, I assumed having it in git was just a fallback for projects only on github without a domain. certainly can't hurt though
mayhem[m]
every URL referenced in funding.json needs to have authority established -- for both the web pages and the git repos themselves.

the desc is still too long, @monkey. let me have it regurgitate something else.

I fumbled, copied the wrong one. let me make a new suggested change with the right one
mayhem[m]
1997 characters. hmmm.
I'll try.
monkey[m]
Yeah, i had to scrape everywhere I could

"Manifest is valid"
ok, just need reosarevok to sign off and then we're done.

aerozol: Great work on the blog post and videos! Ican only imagine how long that took...
Denny, the editor, once gave us a huge compliment. When he was working on the Google Knowledge Graph he said: " I always loved it when I had to resolve music related issues. I knew that MB had already thought about all this and solved all the tricky problems."
reosarevok[m]
<mayhem[m]> "ok, just need reosarevok to sign..." <- Seems fine to me. If this is to ask for more money, dunno if you want to admit that clearly you already have Google money, but it's honest, so I guess we should.

lucifer: I deployed this new release ^ and among the changes are the silly youtube logo requirements. Just so you know, as I think that was the only front-end change
mayhem[m]
<reosarevok[m]> "Seems fine to me. If this is..." <- Would it be different if it wasn't google? Maybe Spotify?
