it’s busy in college decision season for me, so no MeB this week
hopefully I’ll start UXing around soon

Last week was a quiet week for me, I continued focus on more organizing and getting to work on verbiage for the MeB website with CallerNo6
I am marinating a bit slower on this because our first sentence is what you find when you google us, and really needs some umph.
Anyone else that would like to help-https://docs.google.com/document/d/1nUxQvBPukthbFNswq-p8pQOLeWem5PJVxZxYN4mgeT8/edit?usp=sharing)
Currently I have a few things in progress, that I’d like to get closed by end of week–fingers crossed. And of course, emailing new supporters and answering a few new inquiries.
I also chatted with a indie artist about adding to their metadata….it was interesting….
Oh, and on a side note…I’m going to try my hand at adding some data this week to MB!

@reosarevok

@reosarevok

I mostly dealt with support (mostly more, more and more MBID questions - can we force the BBC to act on this a bit quicker than their usual speed?)
And with trying to keep up with my subscriptions, which is gettinrg ridiculous
Also, I found and moved some tickets to STYLE that depend on the expansion of attributes to all entities
Since then it’d just be a style decision to add them or not
And I’d still like more comments on how to do events (mostly: how to split festivals): [STYLE-747] Event guidelines

I was sick all last week so didn’t get much done other than code review / merging
maybe this week I can finish all the schema change work super fast

@zas

@zas

Mostly worked to merge/review last Picard 1.4.1 PRs, we are ready to release on 1st April
Then i read docs of Angelfish stats and contacted their support, tested it locally + tried to make a docker container for it (but it is useless, thanks to stupid license system)
Also deployed new SSL certs for *.meb.o
Also made a bunch of software upgrades on our servers + usual maintainance

@Gentlecat

@Gentlecat

I continued working on triggers for search
generation of triggers is done and they seem to be working
so I started working on the next part, which is receiving messages from the queue and updating the index
reviewed and merged some stuff, updated CB

Last week, I fixed four small issues regarding video channel URL relationships. Then I worked on several issues with the edit search and auto-edits components. I started to work on the UI part of the future entity attributes.
Note about attribute: It has been designed to handle free text or unique value from a limited set. If we really want to handle language/locale as well, that would require some additional changes. Maybe other types might be wanted too. To be discussed…

@LeftmostCat

I booked myself up for the summit and I’ve started designing some of the changes to the data layer necessary to accommodate the web service. There have been a couple of expressions of interest in either the web service being done or working on the web service, so it’d be good to get this hammered out.

@Freso

IRC Logs for #metabrainz | MetaBrainz Chatlogs

@Freso

I updated Discourse and did some follow-up stuff from last meeting.
I did OTHER-37 and OTHER-290 as well (the latter of which we’ll discuss more later).
Closed MBS-3448.
I added a “Social media” component to ORG and moved a few more tickets to ORG.
I’m back at my gf’s in Sweden as per a couple of hours ago, and trying to catch up on stuff now.

@Rob

@Rob

I spent the last week in Seoul, Korea.
that was a lot of fun and I made people work hard to guess where I was.
anyways, I got back on wednesday night, then spent time catching up.
and merging a bunch of LB stuff and generally pushing fixes out the beta site.
iliekcomputers has been doing a great job in keeping up with fixes and such.
the new site is looking pretty good and hasn’t really had many hiccups, so that is nice.

Guess why very heavily influences the data is is already in ListenBrainz?
@Rob looks @CatQuest
but this data is coming from BigQuery. I just need to figure out why there are 1M less entries in BQ than in our listenstore.

@ferbncode

Last week I worked on my PR for migrating reviews off the ORM. Plan to do more sql this week. May be try to complete most models this week.
Also made another naive PR to CB, mostly to hint the MB db access part. Will be working on some ways to improve it.

@iliekcomputers

This week I worked on making the alpha-importer and influx-writer a bit more intelligent in handling bad data. Also, did some rebases on old PRs, nothing much else
Kinda off topic but I also went to see a cricket match this weekend in what has to be one of the most beautiful cricket grounds in the world. Was a great day!

@samj1912

so last week, I worked on reviewing picard PRs as usual, and volunteered for the feat. plugin for which I managed to write a pretty compact code than I expected
the latter half of the week, I worked on porting picard to py3 since the qt5 port is almost done
and we are on a 1.4.1 feature freeze
got a working py3 port @ https://github.com/samj1912/picard/tree/py3test
and working on a proper clean version at gh:p#664

DR: CB-244: Implement a rating system

IRC Logs for #metabrainz | MetaBrainz Chatlogs

Resuming discussion from a couple of weeks ago after some new suggestions have emerged, as outlined on the ticket.

The remaining question was «whether we want to have separate ratings on reviews», that is, whether ratings in CritiqueBrainz should be stored separately from reviews or not.

After some discussion, there was mostly consensus about the approach suggested by @bitmap, in allowing multiple reviews (CB-187) and allowing reviews to consist only of ratings. However, @Rob wanted to sleep on it and give his input the following day, so it was approved with the caveat that @Rob doesn’t have any objections.

Picard feat. plugin

IRC Logs for #metabrainz | MetaBrainz Chatlogs

Since @reosarevok requested a “feat.” plugin at the last meeting, @samj1912 (aka. a wizard) has made one.

picard-plugins issue tracking

IRC Logs for #metabrainz | MetaBrainz Chatlogs

@Freso

@Sophist mentioned on GitHub that they think picard-plugins issues should go to Jira instead of GH issues.
I think picard-plugins should still live GH issues, since picard-plugins are not supported by “MetaBrainz”, but are meant to be much more like a “hotpot”(?) for Picard users to submit their things to.

There was general agreement about this notion, but @Sophist was not around to present their arguments.

It was decided to keep picard-plugins issues on GitHub, but that we can bring it up again another week if @Sophist (or someone else) wants to.

DR: OTHER-290: Deactivate click-to-edit descriptions on jira tickets

IRC Logs for #metabrainz | MetaBrainz Chatlogs

@Freso disabled the “click-to-edit” feature on Jira tickets as per OTHER-290, which unfortunately meant that a lot of things other than just the text fields were no longer “click-to-edit”-able.

It was decided to revert the toggle to re-enable the feature and try and come up with another way to disable it for the text fields.

picard-plugins & Travis; DR: MBS-9248: Don’t show the artist name in the tool-tip if it’s the same as the sort name

Deferred until next meeting, due to lack of time.
