I'm here, but not working on MeB until tomorrow. if it can wait then I'll be able to give my full attention

lucifer: lets do a triage meeting around this tomorrow, shall we? I'm focused on accounting today.

mayhem: sounds good 👍

bitmap: yvanzo : reosarevok : "MusicBrainz Telegram Alerts Handling" looks very nice. thank you for putting that together. and also sorry for being so rough about it back in dec. (rough month, sorry).

no worries, I think this is something we needed!

this of course ups the ante, I think the pythonbrainz team needs to make a similar thing.

is that doc publicly readable? if not, any reason to not make it public?

the one thing that still isn't covered well enough by any of projects is how to address problems when the US and the EU is asleep.

leaving all the obligations on our two team members based in other timezones isn't so great.

I guess this is where the "how to fix common problems" docs really help -- and if they don't, wake someone up.

I think it's shared with the MeB org but not public (not quite sure how to do that..."Publish to the web"?)

yeah, that should do it. "everything with link can comment" is usually what I go for.

aight, this should be public I hope https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vRU...

looks like that's "published", rather than "shared"

(but I can still see it anyway)

mayhem: Thanks, at least we have clarified it together in the end.

"how to address problems when the US and the EU is asleep" <- I wasn't sure of how to address this perfectly either, though I'm usually awake until 06:00 utc, so I'll often see some alerts in that time even if I'm not working

I'll dive into it in detail this week, but this looks like a very nice start.

Would be nice to have an AU admin, but that doesn’t mean I’m volunteering to move again ;)

heh.

bitmap: ok, cool. and not sure how important it is, either -- that is when MB is at its low use point, so it is less likely to break too.

yea it's not a common time for alerts in my experience, but

alastairp: afaict I could only share it with the MeB org

yeah, docs sharing is a bit shit in that regard. you can say "this org can edit" or "anyone can [edit]/[view]/[comment]", but you don't seem to be able to say "anyone can view, but org can edit"

<BANG>

It’s Clean Your Desk Monday!

I haven’t received any mailed in reviews, so let’s jump straight to it, with…

akshaaatt: Go!

(Others up: bitmap, alastairp, lucifer, mayhem,reosarevok, yvanzo, zas, monkey, CatQuest, Freso – anyone else who’d like to give review, let me know ASAP. :))

I actually cleaned my office at the university today! what a great coincidence

I had a very productive December

alastairp: 👏

During the new year's, I had a great trip with my friends and visited some great cities here in India

Last year I had mild sinusitis so had been resting. Good now!

Have some unfinished business with monkey and looking forward to a great month ahead!

Go alastairp !

Last week^^

hello everyone. happy new year, feliz reyes, etc, etc, etc

at the tail end of last year after the last meeting (yes?) we launched LB year in music, which from what we saw on twitter went down _really well_

I’m really happy with it, and it certainly exceeded my expectations. thanks to lucifer (and everyone else) for all of his amazing work on this, thanks to mayhem for the playlists, I listened to a few with monkey at the office just after we released it and mine summed me up perfectly. Spent a day or so fixing some reported bugs, answering to people on forums/twitter etc.

looking forward to seeing which bits of it can be pulled into regular stats

\o/

my biggest achievement over the break was cycling 500km in 7 days

and then subsequently sleeping most of the following week, because it turns out that cycling 500km in 7 days is really tiring
