Also I would like akshaaatt (IRC) ‘s approval on some View model restructuring

That’s it for me.. maybe zas (IRC) can take over

Hey

last week, we discuss with yvanzo & atj about new SOLR Cloud deployment

I upgraded discourse (community forums), and fixed deprecated telegraf options, that appeared after last upgrade

still up for today: rimskii, theflash__, Tarun_0x0 , bitmap, mayhem, lucifer, akshaaatt, atj, aerozol, ansh

I also reviewed Picard & Picard plugins PRs

plus usual supervision, user support, etc... fin. akshaaatt ?

Hi Everyone!

Not much for me last week. Usual code reviews and replying to bug over mail for the LB app.

Go lucifer!

hi all!

last week, i worked on fixing some issues with popularity data and recommendations generation. also, answered multiple GSoC queries, reviewed a few PRs and diagnosed issues causing LB downtime.

finally, worked on moving some long running tasks to a background service. delete listens and delete account at the moment, export listens to be added in future.

that's it for me. aerozol next?

mōrena koutou e hoa ma!

Been pretty flat out, once again, with another job

Lucy is off for a 6 week hike in Japan, so a lot of walking the doggo and so on and cooking for one, as well!

But keeping an eye on socials, and quite a bit of discussion and input into various interesting tickets

still up for today: rimskii, theflash__, Tarun_0x0 , bitmap, mayhem, atj, ansh

Cool to see lots of activity from GSoCers

Shout out to yvanzo for helping out when I was ramming my head into my local test server, looking forward to tackling that again when I have time

go ansh!

Hi Everyone!

Last week I was mostly busy with my mid-semester examinations, so couldn’t work much.

I did spend sometime fixing all the tests and making changes based on monkey[m]’s PR reviews.

That’s it for me.

atj: next?

Hello

huh. thats why my pasta is so crunchy

Last week I started working on a new ansible role for Solr and also made some changes to the Zookeeper role.

still up for today: rimskii, theflash__, Tarun_0x0 , bitmap, mayhem

I spent some time reading the Solr docs and various guides to try and understand the application better.

We also discussed the architecture of the new deployment and requirements Solr etc.

mayhem?

hiya!

!m atj

You're doing good work, atj!

last week was the usual nonsense for MeB background tasks, emails, new signups,getting called criminals, you know...

Chants: criminals! criminals! criminals!

I also pushed the artist radio for LB radio server implementation forward which was merged last week. thanks for your help on this lucifer .

now we just need to do tags and we can release an improved LB radio -- one that should in theory scale better.

once that is done, I'll circle back with Ansh and aerozol[m] on how to improve the UI so we can drag the feature out of beta.

I'll be traveling for the next week, I'll still be working a few hours in a day before diving into exploring my destination.

fin.

no rimskii here. how about theflash__ ?

hey everyone!

Im here !

I dedicated my last week for writing proposal

still up for today: rimskii[m], Tarun_0x0 , bitmap

Glad, it's done doing self review and will be uploading by today!

other than that worked on changes suggested by aerozol

will make a pr regarding it soon

that's it for now

pick rimskii[m] :)

rimskii: next?

thank you !

Hi!

I wanna start with good news: I finally finished the feature of importing playlists from Spotify!! Now the code is implemented using troi (I spent a whole week fighting w it, glad I could make it). For now, some little changes for frontend is left. So Working on feedback monkey gave me!

Im having a break rn from uni, so now I can spend more time for contributions. I am thinking of already starting to work on the cool feature we discussed with aerozol and @UltimateRiff

Soo We will have playlist labels and folders soon ;)

That's it for me

bitmap?

hey

only Tarun_0x0 left.

last week I mostly worked on finishing MBS-13516, which now has a PR open (with some bonus test failures for me to fix)

MBS-13516: Upgrade from popperjs to floating-ui https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MBS-13516

s/cool//

other than that...I started looking into schema change tickets, which I'll continue on today and the rest of the week

fin. go Tarun_0x0

Namaste everyone !! this is my first time in monday meeting,

Last week i worked on two tickets one related to a bug and another to BB server crashing

learned some basics for perl (something very new for me) , as i was trying to have a look at musicbrainz codebase

read about Recurrent neural networks , for my uni exams

made a project of my own trying to practice some animation in next using tailwind and framer-motion

lastly finished the campaign of watch dogs 3 (any video game lover here ??)

this is it for me

right-o. thanks Tarun_0x0.

that is it for reviews.

the only topic we have now are areas in LB. aerozol[m], go!

Hi! This topic is related to LB-1538

LB-1538: Set user location/area (e.g. for events) https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/LB-1538

A user has submitted a PR to add (optional, nobody freak out please) user areas to LB, but we may want to discuss this first.

I believe mayhem and lucifer had discussed adding this to OAuth eventually, but it would be nice to confirm what we want to do and if anyone has any input. I would like to see events added to LB soon, personally, and there is some contributor interest

well, more specifically, we could move the user's area from MB to LB.

previously we discussed keeping that as MB only.

MB already has user’s location if provided.

yes, that.

lets turn this question on its head: Does anyone object to moving areas from MB to LB as part of the OAuth migration?

Got it - is there any plan to do that? Is it something a new contributor could do via a ticket?

I object if there’s no timeline :)

Is it an opt-in from LB user?

Moving to LB? Not MeB?

no, this is part of the Oauth move that we've been working on. its a minor change to also migrate that column of data.

Like a button: fetch data from my MB profile.

Otherwise it makes sense to me. The other thing is that it’s probably a good idea to support setting multiple areas in LB, for people who travel or live close to a number of cities, etc (I think this will be quite common). But that could be in tandem

sorry, badly stated. Move to MeB, so it becomes available for all projects, not just MB/LB

Got it. Makes more sense

one of the motivations for LB to have areas is to give concert recommendations to a user.

It’s for MeB OAuth then, not LB, got it.

(not just LB)

giving concert recs for concerts on a different continent sucks. (I"m looking at you spotify)

Makes sense to me that this info would live wherever the account lives

yeah, me too.

And make it accessible to other MeB projects

ok, I am not hearing any objections.

Well, you did :P

Perhaps the user could subscribe to a city / artist / whatever to get notifications of related announcements?

👍 monkey

wait, did I miss something?

If we want to allow for multiple areas to follow, then would we want to be implementing something in LB anyway?

rdswift: yes, the actual implementations of these features is outside the current scope. but I would expect something like that, yes,

I think we should allow for one area for now, in MeB and see how it goes.

aerozol[m]: in MeB OAuth even

My objection was if there’s no timeline for OAuth, then this could be holding up a feature in LB that a lot of people are interested in working on

if people scream that they need more than one area, lets consider that then

(later on of course, not a priority)

Okay, I misunderstood. I thought that was one of the drivers for making the user's location available.

aerozol[m]: Oauth is going to happen before we work on concert stuff -- or at least before we dedicate team resources to working on concert stuff.

We have contributor PR’s for this

and adding concert features is pretty unlikely without lucifer's help

which PR?

But I can mark them as blocked :)

aerozol[m]: multiple areas?

LB-1538

LB-1538: Set user location/area (e.g. for events) https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/LB-1538

LB#2801

LB-1538: Added ability to add area from settings page: https://github.com/metabrainz/listenbrainz-serv...

yvanzo: yes, because I live in X town doesn’t mean I’m not interested in events from X area/s

this only add the support for adding areas. it doesn't actually do any of the concert listing feature.

aerozol[m]: the PR seems to allow for only one area

we have one PR the above and another user who offered to implement aerozol's mockups for the events on artist pages

Yes, it’s a start, the convo is on the ticket

the actual part of gathering event data from MB into LB caches is the one part left which will likely be done by me

I can def. mark it as blocked, but good to have a discussion to reference. But I’m not entirely convinced that user area will always coincide with what events users want to see

lucifer: that is what I am trying to say. we need your help to do that. but I am unwilling to open more issues right now. we have loads of open projects.

lucifer: are you keen to wait for OAuth?

Then I can mark these as blocked

aerozol[m]: yeah i think waiting for OAuth is the sensible move.

Okay, thanks for the discussion everyone!

ok, lets mark it blocked. move the area to MeB during the Oauth move. Once the OAuth stuff is done, we can implement concert listnings.

yvanzo: yes indeed. I'm trying to tell everyone that we're not working on this soon.

yvanzo: i think the way we will do it is, allow users to set an area for themselves but then let them choose an arbitrary area to view events from on the relevant pages itself.

and everyone else wants to discuss the finer points of what we're not working on.

The finer points of why MB areas aren’t particularly relevant to LB events
