last week, I moved forums to new server (mingus), updated related documentation
Also investigated an issue with temperature on floyd, with the help of bitmap and Hetzner tech, which turned out to be an incorrect kernel message, which disappeared after the downtime & reboot
CatQuest
also yum tikki masala :D
Pratha-Fish
would you also like some battered fried fish served with ranch /s
zas
plus usual PR reviews, user support, upgrades. Today rudi (half of new gateways) crashed, rebooted
mayhem
Pratha-Fish: and CatQuest : please lets pay attention to the person giving their update.
you can take a JSPF file and turn it into a playable M3U file (of local files).
reosarevok
akshaaatt: It's simple and it works and it doesn't require me to have a complicated library player for the little stuff I have locally because it's not on Spotify :)
mayhem
I'll be using that to help the funkwhale team to add recommendations to their all.
akshaaatt
Right makes sense reosarevok
alastairp
mayhem: that's neat, does that tie in with our in-office discussion last week?
mayhem
akshaaatt: reosarevok : why don't you two finish off, before I continue.
meh.
alastairp: which of the many discussions? :)
probably yes.
reosarevok
I'm done, but the meeting has had these sorts of semi-OT convos for years now, mayhem, not sure why you're extra grumpy about them today :) Anyway, go on
alastairp
yes, of course. But we did talk about content resolvers in funkwhale
mayhem
anyways. fin. done being interrupted today.
alastairp: go
alastairp
hi
mayhem
reosarevok: because the chatter is excessive and disruptive today.
yvanzo
reosarevok: Too much interruptions indeed.
CatQuest
honestly not more than usual for whne it is
yvanzo
Last week that was you CatQuest asking for less interruptions.
alastairp
last week tried to wind up the last of my tasks before I take time off. I got most of what I wanted to do finished
aerozol
Shall we discuss this at the end?
alastairp
including getting musicbrainz/metabrainz/listenbrainz canonical data dumps running, and uploading to FTP site, along with a first draft of an update to https://metabrainz.org/datasets to describe them
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, meeting etiquette (reo)
rishav26 joined the channel
I also pushed a few PRs to ListenBrainz based on some pending work that I had lying around (python 3.11 upgrade, upgrades to github actions, and some ListenBrainz/RabbitMQ documentation to syswiki)
aerozol
Nice one alastairp!! Refresh my memory, how long have you still got with us?
alastairp
I also got the development branch of the BrainzBot logger webapp running in python 3, I'd like to release that this week so that we can shut down the old google vm which is currently running it
aerozol: minus 6 days :)
on that note, I'll be sticking around in IRC, but perhaps not loading it to check every day. Still happy to discuss things any time, ping me if you want to talk!
lucifer: next?
lucifer
hi all!
last week, i worked on improvements to artist stats and 1-2 bug fixes in LB. was afk mostly otherwise. that's it for me.
akshaaatt: next?
akshaaatt
Hi everyone!
I’ve been reviewing the massive pile of PRs from jasje !
reosarevok
Other people still on the list: atj, aerozol, yellowhatpro, jasje, jivte, vibhoo_24
Pratha-Fish: Good point - it’s accessible to all @musicbrainz accounts. I can open it up more
I went over community manager duties with reo and have watched how he handles reports, a giant pile of them
Tracking lots of forum and Discord/Reddit feedback and trying to integrate them into tickets
The usual little bits and pieces otherwise
reosarevok
Thanks for following discord and reddit since we at the dev team AFAIK don't :)
aerozol
Leave it to me! On that note, if anybody knows of other places people talk about MeB stuff that we could keep an eye on, or even reach out to, let me know
go atj!
atj
nothing to report unfortunately
just looked over a few bits with zas
jasje?
jasje
yess
thanks atj!
so this week i did the boring stuff
not even implementing tests
but solving the errors while testing ugh
earbon joined the channel
earbon has quit
Pratha-Fish
aerozol: thanks! it worked :D
jasje
we have now decided to restructure the app which is going to be a big but needed change
and thats it!!
aerozol
You’ve been so busy jasje and akshaaatt, so cool to see you taking on the app in a big way
jasje
yellowhatpro?
aerozol: yeh i wanted to get into the designing stuff
reosarevok
if yellowhatpro is not around, then is jivte?
jasje
it do be gettin awesome when working with you
but no designs to build as of yet :P
reosarevok
Or vibhoo_24 ?
aerozol
jasje: looking forward to it!!
CatQuest
🐟
reosarevok
Ok, it seems none of the three are around? :)
So
Onwards to meeting etiquette
CatQuest
Look I am sorry for interrupting or annoying Anyone, but I have also have had my talk disrupted in the past. Once several discussion in the between of what I was saying, and yea it's a little annoying, but whatevs.
rdswift
In my opinion, off topic side conversations are a sign of disrespect to the person presenting their report, in addition to being disruptive. I generally don't tolerate that when I'm chairing a meeting.
reosarevok
Since I understand some people are bothered by interruptions, but I also wouldn't want to have no talking at all because some comments are good (like "nice to see that!")
CatQuest
honestly I think.. well freso usually friendlily reminds anyone talking of waiting until the meeting is over. I believe it's a bit oogie right now because reo-leading-meetings is still new and fresh
atj
CatQuest: having something done to you is not justification for doing it to someone else
CatQuest
did I say that?
atj
"ut I have also have had my talk disrupted in the past" - unsure why this is relevanbt
CatQuest
my point is that everyone does this
reosarevok
I feel interrupted now :p
CatQuest
I guess because i get the feeling it's fiiine if it's me but if i do the disrupting it's not for osme reason!
aerozol
Last week I was asking follow up questions of someone and you asked me to stop CatQuest
CatQuest
i did?
aerozol
But too much cross talk is definitely distracting
reosarevok
What about having a general rule like: "it's only ok to comment during other people's reviews if the comment is one that does not expect a reply (either a one-off joke *occasionally* or a "thanks" "good job")"
CatQuest
+1
reosarevok
And we actually add a "quick questions" section after reviews?
aerozol
I was thinking we allow follow up questions afterwards?
ninja’d
CatQuest
yep, agree
yvanzo
I would also appreciate if meeting participants stopped triggering notificatitons (either on this channel or via subscriptions on GitHub, Jira, MB...) for the time of the meeting.
aerozol
Kind of informal, like if someone asks a question the person who’s been called next gives it a second
reosarevok
aerozol: I was thinking after everyone reviews, mostly, but we could have everyone do a quick "any questions" before they call the next peson
aerozol
I have held questions/discussion for the end before, but tbh it seems like a lot of people f*ck off after the meeting :P
reosarevok
I'm ok with either
*the next person
akshaaatt
I agree with that aerozol
CatQuest
ya
aerozol
reosarevok: I wonder if that will continue when it’s usually no feedback?
reosarevok
yvanzo: we already generally try to do that AFAICT :)
yvanzo
reosarevok: You should try better then...
alastairp
it also depends on if we want the "Reviews" section to be "this is what I did this week", or "I've been working on this, give feedback pls?"
aerozol
Shall we see how it goes next meeting and you can wield the stick of compliance reo!
CatQuest
gie hi ma break this is the first time he is doing this for more thna a one off
reosarevok
yvanzo: there was none today, were there?
Oh, wait, you mean *anywhere*, not just in-channel?
alastairp
one concern with a "any questions" at the end of every review is that meeting length could get very long (especially during summer of code we start reaching towards 1h anyway)
yvanzo
reosarevok: No, that's true, maybe because you are in charge of this meeting though :)
CatQuest
i thought gsoc was off?
aerozol
should definitely be kept short, long convos can be had later
reosarevok
CatQuest: no, this year is on, we have doubts about 2024
