@Rob

this week was an abnormal week in that I spent a lot of it faffing about in Jaipur and then traveling home.
but from there we hacked on a recommendation engine for LB over the weekend.
its really not very good just yet, but given that its the first open source recommendation engine, this is a moment I’ve been waiting for for years.
both iliekcomputers and ferbncode did a really stellar job learning apache spark over the weekend and pounding out this system.
and we’re running recommendations on the 108M listens in LB – the fact that we got that working over the weekend is amazing teamwork and amazing tools we have at our disposal.
really happy we got this far.
so, we’re going to open this up for more people to play with over the next few days/weeks.
so far the cluster is going to cost us $120/month, but I think that is worth it.
ok, changing gears: GSoC.
mentors: if you haven’t already, please log in and review proposals.
if there is a proposal you wish to mentor, press the want to mentor button.
if a proposal fits in your area of expertise, please leave comments on that proposal.
I’ll start poking people about more detailed comments in the next few days.

This weekend was really cool. ruaok, Leo_Verto , iliekcomputers and iworked on starting up the recommendation engine using the LB dumps. \o/. Other than that, sent in CB-286: Add tests for dump manager functions by ferbncode · Pull Request #199 · metabrainz/critiquebrainz · GitHub for adding tests for dump manager functions (still need to fix them).

I worked on deploying beta.critiquebrainz.org, opened a few CB PRs and then worked on a recommendation engine with Rob and ferbncode over the weekend, we made some really good progress and I’m excited about that
In the meanwhile, we came across bugs such as the LB dumps being corrupt

Gonna try to fix them soon

I spent most of the week improving our Selenium tests, since they’re currently difficult to run and don’t cover enough of the site, so it’s hard to feel confident making massive changes in some areas during the React conversion, not to mention the redesign
so I managed to make the tests more isolated/idempotent and started writing a test suite for the release editor
I also fixed a bunch of test failures in my sidebar conversion branch, which appears to only have a few failures left

I mostly did support (if someone can help with a Portuguese email let me know!) and a bunch of classical editing
Still slowly working on the code side project, nothing to show yet

This week I opened tickets for LB with graphs and mockup we discussed in Delhi.
Second round for Release Group done, finally. Now onwards to Release Page.
This week I plan to work on my react skills (and catch up with reviews on mockups)
Also, @samj1912 showed me the magic of eslint and my mind=blown.

Last week, I made a bunch of PR reviews (still not at the end), reworked and merged PR for WP extracts.
I also debugged a few issues (relationship editor, self-loop relationships), checked recent MBS issues and addressed a few ones, mostly URL handles.
I started to check final GSoC proposals, my favorite is likely an April joke!

This week I created a PR for BU-11 to add musicbrainz_db module to brainzutils and I added the functionality to fetch recordings using MBID from MusicBrainz database with options to include artist MBIDs (Useful for MessyBrainz).
Got (April)fooled by the prank set by Leo_Verto and ruaok and I found out about it when I started discussing bugs in the recommendation engine on irc.

@Leo_Verto

This week made some small PRs for the real recommendation system which is already surpassed my expectations with pretty good recommendations.
Based on this I built a basic interface for LB you should definitely try out if you haven’t already! For example, this is my recommendation page:
Created for Leo Verto- ListenBrainz
Finally, I submitted my SpamBrainz proposal and apparently my proof of enrollment was “conditionally accepted” today.

I was at ROD 2018 - MusicBrainz most of last week, so I wasn’t much around.
Got home Friday and got smacked by being sick Saturday. Have been lying in bed all day today.
(And yesterday. And most of Saturday.)
I’m sick of being sick now. Plz.
I did finally manage to set up a meeting with yhutchinson though, and keeping up with things as best possible.

Also, I fixed couple of bugs in bb-site
Found a couple more, almost ready to open PRs
Wrote tests for date bug
Awaiting discussion on how to test queries on bb-data
