makes sense

so, metadata viewer tentatively scheduled for week of 21 march?

mapping improvements next week.

and some CF futzing this week.

+1

ok.

i have a few tickets/features to discuss if we are done with sprints discussion.

alastairp: where do you want to jump in and what do you want to do in the next two weeks?

lucifer: "Requirements for Now Listening and MBIDs:" a new section for at the bottom of the doc.

mayhem: mapping improvements: is this just the rollup ticket, or also things like the album stream stuff?

👍

just the rollup ticket and also, some work to re-check lower quality matches.

what tickets did you want to discuss?

right, and do you think this is something that needs the 3 of us to push out in a week?

yes, it seems simpler at first, but given that now listening MBIDs needs to be part of it, that makes it considerably harder.

just trying to work out if this is something that I can jump in on to help with, or if it makes sense to work on a different related metadata ticket like

s/like//

one feature request that has repeatedly come up is allowing users to edit listens, either limited to fixing track/artist names or adding/editing metadata.

is this something we want to support?

I think it would make sense, yes. but I fear that is a lot of work.

this week I want to get the LB/CB reviews rolled out, but that will be finished this week - so next week to do metadata stuff works for me

track name, arist name and other metadata that forms a part of msid hash is particularly problematic.

lucifer: what type of other metadata?

lucifer: I’ve been considering making a tool that would basically fetch a listen, allow to edit it, delete the original listen and upload the "new" one (with the original timestamp).

alastairp: we're talking about metadata viewer the week of 21st.

there are 6-7 fields iirc.

mayhem: sorry, I meant "mapping of metadata"

Freso: oh nice!

lucifer: I guess my question is more - how much of this data should be stored in LB and how much in other projects?

alastairp: oh I see. the mapping improvements are not worthy of having more than lucifer and I work on it. but the metadata viewer is. just to clarify

all data in LB i think

mayhem: ah right, sounds good. so yes, it'd be nice for me to have something similar to work on in parallel

how about starting to publish datasets?

agreed.

which datasets?

are any ready?

I'm looking at stuff like 10. on your list (canonical releases dataset)

did you say that these basically fall out of the canonical recording ds?

ah yes.

that could be done part of the mapping work next week.

you could take over the PR I have for that.

what is a dataset? a db dump + upload to a location? how often do we publish it? page on meb.org to describe them?

and then publish the canonical recording and canonical release mapping

alastairp: yes to all.

perfect. sounds like something I can do

DB dump, spark dump, sync to FTP/spark, a page on meb.org

mayhem: where are you working on these branches? (since I guess you need access to LB db, Typesense, MB, among other things?) bono?

most often bono, with tunnels to gaga as needed.

cool

bono is perfectly suited for that.

just another comment - to make sure that we don't turn our sprints into death marches that must be finished by friday no matter what

I don't think there will be much risk of work under duress, but I think it's good to agree on that.

ideally yes. obvs playlists are still not done.

yeah, that too

err…

lucifer: please help me with the requirements for the Now Listening / MBIDs list.

last week was so discombobulating, I've forgotten everything.

mayhem: we haven''t decided on how to do it yet. one thing we discussed was to lookup once before sending the websockets message, if no match add to lookup queue, send another message after lookup is done. but we later realised that if user refreshes the page it will not work.

Mōrena!

right, the how is exactly what I am trying to solve, but I feel like I never have the list in my head when I think about it.

moin aerozol !

moin moin

hiii aerozol !

<BANG>

It’s Plant Power Monday!

I haven’t received any reviews, so… people up: bitmap, mayhem, yvanzo, reosarevok, monkey, akshaaatt, alastairp, atj, zas, lucifer, CatQuest, Freso – anyone else who want to give review, let me know ASAP!

bitmap: Go!

lucifer: ok, I'll think about it tonight and see if I can work out something more comprehensive.

ah ok so basically we need the mbids available at two places. 1) GET /playing-now endpoint 2) WS message. rest is getting it done efficiently.

hey

at the beginning of last week I worked on the primary database switchover from floyd to pink and documented those steps in syswiki

standby service was restored on floyd the next day

I also fixed some bugs with the dbmirror2 ProcessReplicationChanges changes in https://github.com/metabrainz/musicbrainz-serve... which I found in the replication logs on aretha, plus did some refactoring/code cleanup

at the end of the week I worked a bit on fixing up my artist credit editor branch that uses the new autocomplete & popover components, hoping to submit that soon

that's about it I think! go lucifer

hi all!

last week we found an data corruption in the database, it turned out to be a corrupted index so dropping it fixed the issue.

later in the week outsidecontext reported a bug due to which listens were not appearing on the website. while working on fixing that we found inefficient quey plan issues in timescale. thankfully those are mitigated in recent versions so we are planning to upgrade the ts databse this wekk

other than that worked on investigating misc tickets and sitewide stats frontend. that's it for me.

mayhem: next?

mayhem: Ping?

Oh.

(People still up: yvanzo, reosarevok, monkey, akshaaatt, alastairp, atj, zas, aerozol, CatQuest, Freso – anyone else who want to give review, let me know ASAP!)

I tried to hawk MeB to the lowest bidder at MWC, but found not takers at all.

"hawk"?

lol

sell

and I had a very nice lunch with Nikalai P who was a very active contributor 10 years ago.

curses

so, a discombobulated week without much technical work.

but I did some reviews and other Meb related work and some coordination of servers with zas and atj.

just talking, and talking. maybe this week is more doing. :)

fin. aerozol?

last couple of weeks I've been onboarding slowly but surely

(oh and I freaked the office out by walking in looking relatively nice with a button up shirt and all)

WHAT

managed to navigate time zones to catch monkey and akshaaatt for some good discussions

mayhem: wait what, you got married or something? Why would you wear that!

so. much. love.

getting to grips with githuf and jira and did my first pull requests (no laughter at the back)

Welcome to the team, aerozol! :)

who showed mayhem how to do up buttons??

githuff. why doesn't that exist??

lolsob

!m aerozol

You're doing good work, aerozol!

Is that huffing git hash?

otherwise groundwork that's taking time but will give us a base later, trying to make a styleguide, tidying up the logo sets as I go

huffington git

familarised myself with figma as a mockup tool, looking good I think

Sweet

that's me! am I meant to bump the next person to go?

Correct

go monkey :D

Hi all!

(People still up: yvanzo, reosarevok, akshaaatt, alastairp, atj, zas, CatQuest, Freso – anyone else who want to give review, let me know ASAP!)

Last week I did a lot of PR Reviewing again, loving all the contributions !

p.s. thanks for the welcoming words over the last weeks everybody <3

<3 aerozol

I published a new version of the website, fixed a couple of regressions and deployed those a few days later

oh yes.

Helped alastairp debug some issue with comments on CB, and even made a PR for …drumroll… python code!

They're few and far between so it's worth pointing out :p

I also did a lot of ticket cleanup after the new BookBrainz deployment

I also finally finished and corrected the GSoC ideas page, with some help from alastairp (we will be mentoring together a project for CritiqueBrainz integration in BookBrainz)

And finally did a bit of spotify API debugging

That's it for me. atj go !

hello

Woops, sorry mayhem didn't see that

mayhem: you go, the suspense is killing me...

lol

we got accepted for GSoC yet again!

woo!

atj: back to you. :)

🎉

that's it?

Hip hip !

psh
