Making sure you're not a bot!

@Leo_Verto

I followed up on the April Fool’s joke and ended up getting some valuable ideas for the real recommendation system in the process
Other than that, spent way too much time playing reddit’s CircleOfTrust and way too little learning for my last exam
Read a couple papers regarding user recommendation and mailed one author to ask for access to their code

so I almost finished the hyperion releases
FINALLY added: https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/INST-513 \o/
I know a lot of people have wanted this so I hope people now will also help move the ones credited with “basso de gamba” (and similar) from String instrument “viola da gamba” - Recordings - MusicBrainz (I did the first 3 pages)
there are 40 pages left to do, but there are on average 3-5 or so entities of “bass” on each page (people are of course welcome to check the others too, but :'D)
Something I forgot to ask last time: I need various language names for “guitar family”
German, Greek, Finnish, French, Japanese, Dutch, Polish and (Brazilian) Portuguese
I know we have members in most of these languages so I’m hoping for replies either here or on Freso’s community post
FINALLY started working on OTHER-327 (that is the instrument blog-post I had half or so finished aaages ago (sorry :​​( for the wait))
also working on OTHER-326
Also added several instruments, regal, baroque guitar, mm.
(mm. is “closed a bunch of really old and incomplete tickets”)

Last week I poked at reported editors, had a meeting with Y-Vonne (who is not present at today’s meeting), gave my opinion on MBS-9660, and generally tried to stay as on top of things as I could while lying in bed most of the time.

Not much to report this week. We were busy graduating.
Will catch up this week with pending mockups and some UI discussions on forums started by the community

last week I fixed all the conflicts/test failures in my open react prs
fixed an i18n issue with react pages, MBS-9668
got the json dumps running again after they were stopped for a bit, and wrote a small script to alert me if it happens again
documented the incremental json dumps on the meb website, now planning to update MusicBrainz Database/Download - MusicBrainz Wiki this week
fixed an ISE in caa-redirect caused by somebody repeatedly requesting mbids with %0A at the end
and just worked on some misc branches I have for further react template conversions

did some gsoc’ing today and came up with a new policy:
fail everyone now, and save everyone the hassle of spending the summer coding.
or maybe we reviewed things and have our slot allocation and mentors allocated.
then last week I spent time on accounting, bank drama, a little recommendation engine stuff.
chasing up contracts, payments, paying people.
fairly busy with the usual beginning of the quarter non-sense which I dislike.
I hope to finish that tomorrow and get back to more technical things.

Not much to report this week
Had to travel to delhi to help out a friend and to go home. So I decided to take a break. Didn’t get much work done this week other than planning what I need to do next for LB. Should be back tomorrow and start with some data scrubbing to make it ready for graphs.

This week I worked on refactoring some dump_manager code in CB. Also, sent in a PR to call for action to MusicBrainz for adding missing Cover arts via CB. (on review and release group pages). Also, started working on adding blurbs (quick reviews) for entities on CB. Should be able to open up the PR for blurbs this week.[/quote]

Firstly I completed my left over work for the opened PR’s on getting high-level data for multiple recordings at once and for adding features to select SVM parameters. (AB-21 and AB-98).
And then I worked on two more tickets (AB-298 and AB-327) and also opened PR’s for the same. The work includes adding a feature to download an entire dataset of any user in one click in the AB dataset editor page.
I also worked on validating dataset structure before submitting for evaluation and validating dataset contents after submission.
And now I am planning to put the AB code in an acousticbrainz package this week just like LB and CB.

Freso’s illness is somehow contagious, cause I looked into the same tickets and got sick too.
Before that, I reviewed and finally merged some PRs and prepared beta release, deployed today.
Prod release by the end of the week.

*Brainz account deletion

Making sure you're not a bot!

@Rob

so, I’m digging into the GDPR directive that is coming up next month.
GDPR - A Practical Guide For Developers - Bozho's tech blog
I’m early into the process, but it is clear that we will need to implement account deletion before this takes effect.
MusicBrainz is good.
But when MusicBrainz accounts are deleted, right now the LB, AB, CB accounts are not deleted.
and that doesn’t allow a user the “right to be forgotten”.
we covered this at the summit, but didn’t really go into a lot of details.
I see two paths forward:

1. We work out a system where all the accounts are deleted in one go. (challenging)
2. We do not allow deleting an MB account until other accounts have been deleted. (also challenging)
3. Something I am not seeing.
   Thoughts?
   jog my memory, what did we decide at the summit?

There was additional technical discussion as well as some general comments and questions, but there was overall consensus for figuring out a way to go down path #1.

@Zas
I eventually found a solution for me so it’s OK but do you think that has to do with my issues accessing MB?
I installed an extension to Vivaldi called Proxy SwitchyOmega and enabled a proxy for *.musicbrainz.org, *.staticbrainz.org and *.coverartarchive.org.
Without that, those three domains (only) were not responding to me (office connection behind firewall), recently.

Not sure what’s your issue here, contact me on IRC, so we can sort it out.

Thanks for your help. Acutally I work arounded it so no problem.
I think each time certificates change, it breaks my access for a little time then everything comes back to normal, after one or two weeks. And I have that tool for the period in between, so NP.
