IRC Logs for #metabrainz | MetaBrainz Chatlogs

@Freso

I went back to Barcelona last week and had a meeting with Rob and then got my contract renewed, so you’re stuck with me a while longer.
I also helped review reosarevok’s Mahler debriefing blog post, but I’m sure he’ll say more about that.
I dealt a small bit with reported editors.
A large bit with Google Code-in.
And otherwise kept up with forums and IRC. (I think maybe there was also a support@ mail this week I answered.)

I was a little quiet, but getting back to speed. Working more with ListenBrainz statistics. I want to work with iliekcomputers and ruaok to add more example metrics.
Once I get the hang of one, I want to write out a document to plan more so we can make sure it will scale.
Also wrote a blog post with some updates:
ListenBrainz community gardening and user statistics – /home/jwf/
Freso: And with the CoC discussions, I’d be happy to help in any way with making that happen.
Just let me know if there’s anything I can do to help.

@reosarevok

I mostly did support this week again
Plus I finished and published a blog post about Mahler
Spoiler: it went great
So the next one is up for voting at
Planning for Community Cleanup #3 (with poll!)
(do vote!)
Other than that, I spent too much time with edit cleanup again
Outside MB world, I am now running a bot to add descriptions to Wikidata, which reminds me I wanted to ask about MineoBot, but I’ll do that post-reviews

Wrote up tasks for gci, most are still in wip state, but all are moved from wiki/spreadsheets and into the gci website at-least.
bugged freso, reosarevok and various other people for links and documentation for said tasks
did some musicbrainz editing
released the much anticipated (not) version “After Summer Special”!
started another one(this one’s serious) and continue to work on instruments. (mostly labelling things that are GCI worthy for a task)
removed a butt tonne (yes.) of tabs so now my browser works a lot better O_O
borrowed books from the library about drums. (ie see previous weeks note about drums)
(naturally half were irrelevant to what I need them for, and but at least 2 had cd’s so I’ll Have To Add those to mb)

Not much from my side this week. Was busy with my semester thesis.
But we did manage to stir up some good conversations on a few design tickets, especially the artist redesign. Will list a few tickets after reviews, where I would like feedback.
Apart from that, I forgot to thank Freso and reosarevok for helping me write that blog last week. Thank you

I am working on sir live indexing
the current problem in hand is proving to be a bit tough and I am eating bitmap’s brains about it
I think I finally managed to fix, but it brought about even mroe problems in the search schema that we need to address
apart from that, I conducted a MetaBrainz live debugging session which went amazing

@Rob

@Rob

some metabrainz board BS stuff, which is mostly on hold waiting for lawyers now.
also downloaded the MLH dataset, which has been taken down already.

LB build broke over the weekend, had to fix that.
Opened PRs for using custom flask in LB and MsB which should make integration with Sentry easier
Worked on LB data dumps, have a few PRs ready for review
Reviewed a few PRs on AB
And a few docs PRs of jwf

@bitmap

I tried to help samj with sir triggers again
helped zas finish moving ftp to williams
finished setting up the test.mb sandbox again for people to wreak more havoc on
not much else, was feeling ill so wasn’t as productive

@yvanzo

@yvanzo

Last week, I mostly worked on admin tooling against spam, delaying the beta release by one week.
Also fixed a few glitches in UI French translation that misled some editors.
And usual stuff: bugs triage, PR review, a bit of MB editing/voting.

This week I finished off validation for the new publisher form. Working really well, and now I just need to extend to the other entity types. All unit tested too.
Also created a GCI task. More to come soon. I want to get the entity editor done before the start of GCI, so that’s why I’m not entirely focused on tasks at the moment.
And other than that fixed a few miscellaneous bugs.

Design tickets

@chhavi

So, I am going to do this every meeting. Until at least GCI’s over and we can maybe have dedicated design meeting slots.
List a few (2 or 3) tickets that can use a little feedback on it
This week, it would be nice if we can some more heads on our artist redesign ticket. There is a talk about the overview tab being really an “overview” of the page. I like that idea. I will work on it this week and upload a mockup there.
https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MBS-9536
Other ticket I would like to close is this upcoming week will be this
https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MBS-9531
Just 2 tickets people. We can do this!
Also, anyone who would like reminders through the week, please let me know. I will be happy to!
