      • zas: would you like to go next? :D
      • zas
        Hey
      • 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.
      • zas
        fin. mayhem ?
      • mayhem
        ok.
      • last week I worked on troi
      • Pratha-Fish zas: mayhem: My Apologies!
      • oh yeah, I got a selfie with the postgresql mascot. lol
      • akshaaatt
        Looks great mayhem!
      • earbon has quit
      • mayhem
        I also ignored a pile of PRs and worked on other foundation stuff, like paying people. and wokring out final contracts for the year.
      • aerozol
        which one’s the mascot?
      • mayhem
        then on friday I traveled to Brussels for FOSDEM and learned more about the google layoffs and such.
      • aerozol
        :(
      • mayhem
        on sunday I met up with the Calliope developer, who has a troi-like app, which works very differently, but also quite cool.
      • reosarevok
        Other people still on the list: alastairp, lucifer, akshaaatt, atj, aerozol, yellowhatpro, jasje, jivte, vibhoo_24
      • mayhem
        and I met up with the VLC team (a few times actually) and the LB listen submit plugin should be getting unstuck soon.
      • lucifer: ^^ if that doesn't happen in the next week, I'll prod them again.
      • and it also became clear that the content resolver that we talked about years ago, people are interested in.
      • akshaaatt
        Do people listen to music on vlc though?
      • mayhem
        so, repurposing another project, I hammered out this: https://github.com/metabrainz/listenbrainz-cont...
      • reosarevok
        akshaaatt: I do sometimes
      • mayhem
        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
      • akshaaatt
        We also prepared a doc for the LB mobile app https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hY5oloIiANe...
      • jasje
        akshaaatt: more incoming
      • akshaaatt
        Feel free to go through the doc and suggest things! It’s a work in progress currently
      • We also witnessed a new contributor for the app who helped with a functionality in BP
      • My major focus is here only for now. That’s it for me. More incoming!
      • Go aerozol
      • aerozol
        Thanks akshaaatt!
      • Doc related, if anyone needs a MeB doc template to start from, it’s linked here: https://github.com/metabrainz/design-system/tre...
      • (hasn’t been used yet so let me know if it needs changes)
      • I made some more progress on a bunch of tutorial videos, waiting for MeB Youtube credentials to start uploading
      • Pratha-Fish
        aerozol: looks like the template needs access https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/1wsYX...
      • akshaaatt
        The templates look great aerozol !
      • aerozol
        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
      • CatQuest
        deff
      • aha
