IRC Logs for #metabrainz | MetaBrainz Chatlogs

@samj1912

so this week, I have been coding extensively to fix the things with sir I discussed with ruaok and bitmap last time.
after gruelling with python multiprocessing/threading and signals, I think I finally managed to get everything right
Use batched multiprocessing for live indexing in the handler by samj1912 · Pull Request #65 · metabrainz/sir · GitHub
apart from that, worked with zas on the cert issue
and normal gci stuff
7:02 pm
Leo_Verto is here!

@Freso

I haven’t been much active last week. Sickness got worse, so I had a couple of really bad days, and otherwise I’ve mostly been stressing about getting logistics in place for my move back to Scandinavia tomorrow. Still have a ton of things to do, so sorry if I’m quick on the trigger tonight.
I did try and keep up with GCI and IRC and such though—thanks a lot to gcilou and CatQuest and reosarevok for helping me with the GCI parts.

@reosarevok

This week I helped CatQuest and Freso with GCI
I did the usual support
I implemented a couple style tickets: https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/STYLE-879 and https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/STYLE-885
(one more is waiting for Portuguese translation)
And I got in touch with the dev of http://getconcertmaster.com/ to suggest using MB (we’re in contact about it)
(thanks Leo_Verto for bringing that one to my attention!)

Students are keeping me very busy adding instruments!
Major thanks to Andrew and especially reosarevok for picking up slack with MusicBrainz and Instrument Tasks!
on Wednesday I received special parcel! it contained Grove!
\o\ ♫♪♬ /o/
ok, in all seriousness: Thank you again, MetaBrainz
This Week is JUL so likely my appearance will be spotty, but I’ll try to keep a head in from the next tuesday on, towards New Years.
my computer is also having Issues so it might be spotty after that. I’ll see if i can get it fixed fast or if it’ll take time

I got BookBrainz building as a docker image to fit into the rest of our infrastructure. All that’s left is to work out how to get the service up and running and migrate production from its current hosting. Lots of credit to samj1912, zas, and bitmap for all the help they gave me.

@chhavi

Nothing to report. I didn’t have net connectivity most of the week. So couln’t update new mockups. Will do that this week.
IST I mean.

@bitmap

IRC Logs for #metabrainz | MetaBrainz Chatlogs

@bitmap

I partially fixed issues with us not getting new cover art from amazon, it looks like .co.jp is still rejecting our affiliate code for some reason, but .com and possibly other countries work now.
I restored the slave DB on queen
helped kick WS containers when they were all 50xing on the 12th
ported the caa redirect to python3, uwsgi, and a newer consul template, so it doesn’t fail on config reloads anymore
had a short meeting about sir issues with ruaok and samj1912, and did some code review for all the excellent work samj1912 (happy birthday) was doing
reviewed the BB docker PR
fixed a release editor bug introduced on beta due to the lodash v4 updgrade (MBS-9580)
and I think we should do a release today

@zas

@zas

i spent the week on fixing stuff that was keeping breaking, with help of commas or just bad luck
i improved & fixed nagios alerts in those cases, and added extra alerts to grafana
i implemented a workaround/protection in case it happens again, so openresty stays on previous config until the kv store provides good values again
i upgraded openresty & openresty-gateways images
all servers were upgraded (security packages)
grafana upgraded
i reported CAA issues, some were fixed (thanks to bitmap), some are still there
also, it seems QNAP removed stuff hitting our servers in their last version, it seems there’s a decrease of number of 403s since the 12th, to be confirmed

@Rob

IRC Logs for #metabrainz | MetaBrainz Chatlogs

@Rob

broke all of the sites with a spare comma for half an hour!
I did some PR reviews and tried to figure out how to get listenbrainz-beta up and running, but that mystery still hasn’t been fully solved.
I prepped for the board meeting we had to today. spent a couple of quality hours at the bank (blearg).
oh and an on top of all that, I was sick all week.

@LordSputnik

@LordSputnik

So this week I mainly did GCI
Interacted with about 100 tasks so far, and in total there are about 400 BB tasks completed or in progress
I’ve also reviewed some PRs, including Leftmost’s docker stuff
I did a version bump for some of our dependencies, completely updated our eslint rules and fixed a couple of bugs
Work on relationship editor should start very soon!

@Daniel54321

ok so this is going to sound feeble in comparison but I worked on embbeding youtube videos this past week onto metabrainz website
as part of gci
Still trying to decide where the introduction should go
intro video
any ideas please tell
to metabrainz
the people in GCI and on this chat have been very helpfull and it has been a great experience thus far

@Leo_Verto

@Leo_Verto

I did some more GCI mentoring this week (although not as much as I would’ve wanted).
I also worked on stealing Freso’s job by chirping in whenever someone spread misinformation about anything *Brainz on Reddit and HN, and pointing people to our projects. (f5bot ftw)
Other than that I’d just like to say that I’m really hyped about the crazy amount of LB-related development that has been happening lately and especially the thought of getting cool statistics about [my 1,234 listens](https://listenbrainz.org/user/Leo Verto)
Oh yeah and I watched the new Star Wars
mixed feelings but I don’t want to spoil anything

@naiveaiguy

@naiveaiguy

so as promised, I was a whoooole lot more productive this past week
the main thing I worked on was charts for BookBrainz
you can look at
https://rawgit.com/eshansingh/bookbrainz-viz/master/bbviz.html
for the Jupyter notebook that contains those charts, and the code
plus my official merge count has gone up to 5
and I’ve been doing some other small tasks on the side like the precommit one
I also did the markdown comparision PDF
thanks to yvanzo for being picky as hell about it - it helped me iron out a lot of other things.
i’ve been trying desperately to set up a MusicBrainz standalone as well
but been thwarted by my Mac’s battery life every single time

My semester officially ended this week, so I took a couple days off to unwind and travel back home. Only worked a few hours during this time on urgent PRs such as the MeB and LB logging things, merging LB production into master (which was blocking the release of beta.listenbrainz.org). Now that I’ve been back home for a day, I’ve been working on adding Sentry support to LB so that we have better error reporting. I’ve started with just the web server but alastairp had a pretty good idea on how to get it to work for our scripts too. Other than that, a few issues in LB and PR reviews in AB and BrainzUtils.

@alastairp

@alastairp

I’ve been back around a bit more the last few weeks
had some more time for AB
been picking up on some old old PRs from last year’s SoC trial period, way behind
thanks to iliekcomputers for double-checking my review changes
on to his patches this week

@yvanzo

IRC Logs for #metabrainz | MetaBrainz Chatlogs

@yvanzo

I pushed new beta for MusicBrainz Server, to be pushed to production in the following hours, mostly a bug-fix release.
Thanks to navap for having updated the documentation search.
Also reviewed some PRs and a GCI task, fixed a few more bugs, kept working on antispam stuff and React migration.

@dragonzeron

@dragonzeron

So I have been working on a lot of Japanese children compilation albums that have covers on them
I also have been trying to add lyric pages to works and what not to make them less barren although some pages have lyric pages but they are not on the whitelist so I might try to put them on the code
I also added the Japanese star wars theme in honor of the last jedi cause it is done by my favorite singer
I would like some help on adding Irscs as well as Iwscs as well just to help identify the songs and what not
I have been also deleting wikipedia links and replacing them with wikidata instead

@SoumyaMakkar1234

1: I first made my accounts on 5 open source software websites which introduced me to open sourcing
Secondly, i added an author and a work to bookbrainz
And the last task i did was, to add 5 authors and their works to bookbrainz
And this meeting is surely a part of my 4th task
I would like to keep up doing more tasks with metabrainz

Next meeting

IRC Logs for #metabrainz | MetaBrainz Chatlogs

@Freso

Next Monday is the 25th and after that it’s January 1st.
Both of those will likely see a lot of people traveling or busy, so I propose that next meeting is Jan. 8th.

Motion was unanimously carried.

BB → Docker

IRC Logs for #metabrainz | MetaBrainz Chatlogs

@Leftmost_Cat

Basically I want to link up @LordSputnik, myself, and @zas/@bitmap so we can figure out how to get BB deployed.
We’ll need to get the service up, take BB down or make it read-only for a bit, migrate over data, and then redirect.
So we’ll have to coordinate a time to get all that done.

@LordSputnik proposed to do this after Google Code-in was over. Further talk and planning was delegated to outside of the meeting.

Graphs for all MetaBrainz projects

IRC Logs for #metabrainz | MetaBrainz Chatlogs

@naiveaiguy

I made graphs for BookBrainz
would love suggestions from all and every community member as to what to add
i would also like to propose that we make similar charts for our other pojects
it would be a great way to measure engagement
and see what we need to do to better our communit(ies/y)
if anyone wants to comment, otherwise this is done

The BookBrainz charts:
https://rawgit.com/eshansingh/bookbrainz-viz/master/bbviz.html

A slight bit of discussion, but at the end @naiveaiguy was asked to create an ORG ticket where details about this could be discussed further.
