I dont have much else on the gsoc front, but TBH my head is too crammed with business nonsense for me to focus on that right now.

sure

I think what we have is good for now, but I'll think on it more keenly in the coming days and come back to it.

well the best are not very transport friendly but we can still find some good ones.

makes sense.

agreed. we've managed to bring back a pile of stuff and all was fine.

outsidecontext If you want we can check out the poetry migration together :)

i am currently trying to make some open source contribution by fixing an issue in a picard plugin which fails when the sorted artist name has no surname , such as Josquin instead of Josquin des Prez. i want some music samples to test my changes but any Josquin des Prez music that i get from youtube , picard says it has no metadata for it . could

you suggest me some source where i could find some data/music to test the changes i would make in the plugin ?

lucifer: it seems that there is more interest now in the importing streaming history from spotify. maybe move finishing that project higher?

also this: https://community.metabrainz.org/t/how-is-cover...

I think writing a guide for how we match cover art might be a nice project for next week.

"Badly" is a short guide, but

Nah, actually I'd like to know myself tbh :)

this is a surprisingly HARD task, I have to say.

might be easier if out data structure was more shit, lol

jasje: lemme know if this looks fine.. this was the longest phone I could find.. looks fine to me.. https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/qtYqQ...

Have pre computed the followers list so no lag is observed..

Sorry for the music in background..

looks good

only final touches left i guess

pixel perfection and that kinda stuff

Shud I update the PR then?

With this..

yes

aerozol: once see the above and let us know if anything else is to be changed..

mayhem: yes makes sense

zas: Please update nagios configuration with my latest commit as I don’t have access to nagios server.

bitmap, zas, mayhem, yvanzo, monkey, lucifer, akshaaatt, atj, aerozol, ansh, ApeKattQuest, kellnerd, Pratha-Fish, jasje: Just a friendly reminder that our meeting break is over and there will be a meeting in 1h30m

Thanks for the reminder! I even have something to report :)

yvanzo: applied, thanks for the commit

[musicbrainz-docker] 14yvanzo opened pull request #266 (03master…doc-file-perm-issues): Document file permissions issue https://github.com/metabrainz/musicbrainz-docke...

> punniest line to end up in an account system: "Here's the invoice for the sailboat. I'm happy I get to see all my MeB piers soon!"

lucifer: hey, I noticed there's a mapping.mb_metadata_cache table in the musicbrainz_json_dump DB on aretha. do you know if this DB being actively used by another process?

that sounds like it shouldn't be there.

ok, actually there is a whole mapping.* schema there. this DB is being moved to hendrix, on a different port, so I didn't want to break anything

bitmap: that is old, can be deleted.

cool, thanks for confirming

ok, after categorizing all the summit expenses, we spent $17,783.35 on the two summits: BCN and Delhi.

and I would guess that a summit in india would cost $4000-$5000 more, using a very rough guess to arrive at this.

I think I can raise that. We've got $1000 already pledged.

so, if we do a summit in Delhi who would NOT go? lets chat at the meeiting.

might even be $3000-$4000 more. The delhi summit cost $1000 this year and we won't be doing that again, obvs.

reosarevok: can you take me off the review agenda please, I don't have anything to report

reosarevok, bitmap: Preparing today’s MBS release…

yvanzo: Oh, I thought we'd release later, but I guess we might indeed have enough stuff?

yvanzo: I had merged https://github.com/metabrainz/musicbrainz-serve... on master though because I expected to release more betas (including the AC stuff by bitmap) so if you're releasing prod maybe cherry-pick that onto beta? :)

There was enough time for testing the few changes in beta.

Too late for the Selenium tests and those are not really needed in beta/production anyway.

Ok, I guess that's true, as long as nobody is confused about prod failing a test

Selenium tests are running on master and PR branches, not on beta/production.

*are +automatically

Sure, I meant more if someone wanted to use the prod code and ran the tests

Anyway, clearly minor :)

(we're supposed to run Selenium tests when merging beta into production, as per RELEASING, but that's us and we know to ignore that failure this time)

It was a good point to check that it was minor though :)

!recall oh no.

!remember ohno=https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/...

I will remember "ohno" for you MonkeyPython.

hahaha

!recall ohno.

I'm sorry, I don't remember "ohno.", are you sure I should know about it?

!recall oh no.

!recall ohno

ough

Welcome one and all to the new season of the MetaBrainz Monday Meeting!

I know you've missed it, but it's ok, those empty and sad free times are gone and it's time to work

lol

I have one mailed in review, from Pratha-Fish :

'''

Last week I started diving back into the area bot project, identified some issues to fix, and will be implementing some of these changes over this week as time permits :))

Also enjoying YIM, and missing the daily interactions and working with you guys 🫠🫂

'''

Oh no, I forgot

"Fin 🐟"

:D

can't miss the trademark

(I count more than one fin, even)

Oh. You were here anyway but you made me do all the work. cheeky.

fishy

lmao I am in the middle of a work meeting too

Anyway, MonkeyPython wanted to go early, so: go MonkeyPython

Ended up doing some translation work of my own as well, using the phone!

I also added https://beta.musicbrainz.org/instrument/03cb0f9... which is an older variant form of https://beta.musicbrainz.org/instrument/ff9804d...

fin, uh, reosarevok can go?

Hi!

I spent the last two weeks mostly resting but also improving some issues in the translations, dealing with a lot of user reports, etc

Community manager: like Santa, but only has a naughty list

Anyway

reosarevok: That's Satan, isn't it?

monkey: shh

Other than that I put a beta out with a few improvements and got some rest in between, and then tried to get the house warm during a huge cold spell. Fin!

monkey: you can go

Hello everyone

Other people on my list: bitmap, zas, mayhem, yvanzo, lucifer, akshaaatt, aerozol, ansh, kellnerd, jasje

I spent the past couple of weeks working on YIM, really enjoying the result overall

I also reviewed code. That's mostly it, I've caught covid again so I've been taking some more days off

yvanzo: wanna go next?

Take a rest and get well soon monkey!

god bedring monkey

sure!

Happy new year to the followers of the Gregorian calendar.

Since the last meeting three weeks ago, I released a new version of MusicBrainz Server.

Also reviewed some pull requests, and addressed a couple of issues in MB Server and Docker.

Aerozol and I officially launched the new translation platform, with coordination through the wiki and the forum.

Calendar nerds, let yvanzo speak :)

From this blog post to now (in the new year), 76 new users joined the translation platform, 21 of them contributed already.

!m yvanzo and aerozol

You're doing good work, yvanzo and aerozol!

:0

:O cool!

and outsidecontext who made it possible too

Also I enabled reviews for testing with MusicBrainz Italian translation on salo.rock’s request.

Last about it, I addressed and forwarded various issues reported by users.

As for tickets, I upgraded our Jira Server and its PostgreSQL database to their latest versions.
