#metabrainz

Ok :) Can always postpone until tomorrow

I guess so.

I want to merge https://github.com/metabrainz/musicbrainz-serve... and release it as part of the fix, anyway

Eh. As part of the release I meant :D

yvanzo: if you have a couple minutes to check it, that'd be sweet, but I guess if we release tomorrow then it doesn't have to be now

What's the status of weblate? :) I guess we'll hear at the meeting, but

reosarevok: It should be up this week :)

Sweet

Monday is back!

So it's again time to congregate and spread the good news of us not being total slackers

oop

We have two mailed-in reviews today:

pixelpenguin says:

'''

I have started working on my project by exploring support for expressing inputs and outputs of DSH queries in form of pydantic classes.

'''

And aerozol says:

'''

Long weekend here, the week went so quick!

I did bits and pieces. Mainly sending out ~40 press releases, and scheduling follow up mails.

This was a bit of a test run of the new Marketing/Comms request form, and the press release template.

When we do new things from here on in I’m going to bug you to fill out the form, which should only take a few minutes.

I hope everyone will get used to doing a cool dev update/thing, filling out and sending me the form, and then being able to relax and move on.

Find the form here: https://github.com/metabrainz/design-system/tre...

He also said "Go… shivam_!" but CatQuest requested to go early, so CatQuest first, then shivam_ :)

Arararara~! hi!

With the help of reo, fixed Quite a lot of ✨ Alias Locales!✨

(and also images from IROM)

This week I will be afk mostly, but I'll be starting to finish up adding all the accordions ♉

fin, shivam_

hi

last week I finally started working on my GSoC project

made the required database schema changes

Other people in the list today are: reosarevok, bitmap, zas, mayhem, yvanzo, monkey, lucifer, akshaaatt, atj, riksucks, jivte, kellnerd, Pratha-Fish, vscode, arsh, jasje

since it didnt really involve a lot of brainstorming, so I started working on creating the frontend for Admin Panel too

Overall, good week 1 progess

other than that, nothing much.

go kellnerd?

Hey all, I did the same (started my GSoC project).

Admittedly it was less exciting, I had to update npm dependencies which were last touched back in 2018 🫣

🎉

Now that I've done that and setup RabbitMQ I can finally start with the real work(TM)

That's it for this week, go monkey!

Hello!

Last week I implemented aerozol's designs for the new "Created for you" page on ListenBrainz that will replace the current recommendations page

woo!

With the help of mayhem as well. That took most of my time, but I think we're pretty much done

I investigated listens submitters and updated our list.

Also worked on small tickets related to the "Missing MB data" page

Some discussiosn around listens submission and the ListenBrainz app, and the interplay of various submission strategies.

That's about it for last week, go yvanzo !

Hi!

Other people in the list today are: reosarevok, bitmap, zas, mayhem, lucifer, akshaaatt, atj, riksucks, jivte, Pratha-Fish, vscode, arsh, jasje

Last week I completed balancing search indexes replica on MB SolrCloud nodes.

Then reviewed some MBS PRs for beta and some docker admin PRs for our systems.

Improved docker server configs documentation and applied it to all servers.

Further worked on setting up Weblate and migrating data from Transifex, it should be up this week!

Thanks a lot to outsidecontext for setting up Picard-related projects and for his data migration scripts.

Thanks also to aerozol who made a logo for our upcoming Weblate instance.

Here is the logo (second version): https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/AdwMB...

(Note that the image size will be reduced to a square for use in favicon, navbar, bot, and email.)

It distantly derives from http://languageicon.org/ by using the Korean consonant https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chieut

Please send some feedback to aerozol on this channel after the meeting, he will check the chatlogs.

Reminder: I will be off next week, until the 20th included.

Fin, go zas

hey

this week we released https://blog.metabrainz.org/2023/05/31/picard-2...

I also worked on the consul migration preparation with atj

I made multiple big patches to Picard, mostly cleaning up / simplifying code

rudi server crashed on Saturday, and we got RAM replaced today, it seems to work fine now

A rudi awakening

lol

plus usual MB edits, user support, and supervision. fin. mayhem ?

k

last week was hectic.

Other people in the list today are: reosarevok, bitmap, lucifer, akshaaatt, atj, riksucks, jivte, Pratha-Fish, vscode, arsh, jasje

I'm negotiating *two* unicorn contracts right now, which is freaking amazing news.

also, the UK government excreted this turd: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/uk-i...

🍾

the Byta folks and I are working on a hit piece to talk shit about their ideas.

which are wildly unrealistic.

Interesting timing for all this

here and there I pretended to do some tech work with monkey, but too many interruptions.

also, spank^H^H^H^Htalking with the LIdarr team, and they awol community project dropped MB support from their project after we blocked them, so everyone is happy.

i see

I'm sure there are things I am forgetting, the week was rather long with many many interruptions.

hey mayhem?

but overall with the marketing work from Rassami and Simon and these articles, we're getting more visibility now.

Just adding an interruption :D

yes, reosarevok ?

sigh.

maybe some quality bible study classes, reosarevok ?

more seriously, fin. hoping to get real work done this week.

"databases should be as open as possible and easily accessible to those who need to use them" (from the doc posted above) ...

oh, and I harassed the android team too, forgot!

akshaaatt: go!

Hi Everyone!

Other people in the list today are: reosarevok, bitmap, lucifer, atj, riksucks, jivte, Pratha-Fish, vscode, arsh, jasje

I worked on the listen submitter, fixed it, and included submitting the playing now to LB on the app.

Kudos to jasje for fixing the submission metadata as well!

I got rid of all the legacy code we had in our repo and polished the app to only use jetpack compose.

yay!

Other than that, I have been constantly learning new things and cutting-edge tech along the way.

Go Pratha-Fish!

Hi all,

I just got back home from a trip (a little later than expected 🥲) and have started tackling issues as per the original GSoC proposal timeline (although I am running a little late, hopefully I'll be back on track soon :))

Also started my daily journal as suggested by alastairp last year (and I'd highly recommend it to this year's new GSoC joinees as well!)

Insult to injury I might have to travel AGAIN for a couple of days starting tomorrow (although I am trying my best to avoid it).

But overall, today involved setting stuff up and working on the new PR requirements on the MusicBrainz-Bot as suggested by bitmap :D

fin 🐟

jasje: would you like to go next?

hi everyone

last week was blurry

I completed unit tests and gave a deep thought of how to proceed with certain things before writing code

amen

and that really took a toll on me

so after fixing listen metadata

sorry if I hard a hand in that!

i started playing games to relax myself

XD

mayhem: neo neo its all good :)

and now that im relaxed, im starting out to plan more stuff which will benefit the developers

Pratha-Fish: after the meeting :)

🤝

Pratha-Fish: control valo csgo

thats it for

me

vscode?

hey

Other people in the list today are: reosarevok, bitmap, lucifer, atj, riksucks, jivte, arsh

damn I forgot... sorry for the interruption ... but we also switched to new gateways last week

I don't have any major updates this week, starting up with GSoC stuff and fixed the tests of tickets I was working on

will be finishing up more work by the end of this week

bitmap: ?

hey

last week I was mostly on hosting-related tasks; helped with downtime for rebooting pink, floyd, & aretha and executing a primary database switchover

fixed some issues in our docker-server-configs scripts that prevented me from updating some MBS configuration during the switchover

fixed some barman configuration and cleaned up stale backups from the old primary

there was a weird issue with WAL files increasing over the weekend, but it resolved itself (possibly after I made some changes to replication slots)
