So sorry for the delay! 🙇 🙇 > I only have a few tiny things left-over from gci, mostly things that require decision or more input from someone who actually knows about it, so will be put on hold or given DR meeting topics. I will release gci version and finish lgs! version. > Finally I intend to finish [OTHER-327](https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/OTHER-327 "Write a blog post about added instruments") and finalize work on [OTHER-326](https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/OTHER-326 "Make wiki page describing the process of adding INST") (it too requires assistance form @reosarevok/@freso @yvanzo, @MajorLurker? anyone who has good input re: language and such. More on that next week.) > Here’s to not getting another heatwave or like breaking a leg or something else stupid! 🍻 > 😃 ### @reosarevok [Making sure you're not a bot!](https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/brainzbot/metabrainz/msg/4231187/) > [@reosarevok](#): > > I stopped melting, finally > So I did a lot of clean up and support, wrote some code for Wikimedia Eesti stuff to keep Python a bit fresh, and enjoyed being able to leave the shadow again > I wrote to the OL folks ### @Rob [Making sure you're not a bot!](https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/brainzbot/metabrainz/msg/4231195/) > [@Rob](#): > > in the past week I’ve run my mouth a lot and listened a lot at the Distributed Web conference in SF. bits were at the archive, which was nice. > I got to reconnect to a few people and meet the openlibrary folks, who are keen to work with us. > we need to sort out a joint roadmap for the two projects in hopes of not stepping on each others toes. > I also got explain the beginning on MusicBrainz to Sir Tim, during a long ride back to hotels in SF. > I met Vint Cerf and thanked him. > then later Whitland Diffie, the father public key cryptography went out of his way to compliment my hair. > my geek year is complete! > I’ve got some random and assorted meetings up here in seattle today/tomorrow, before I had back to the desert in san diego. > that will finally get really hot. > I’ve done airbnb reservations and visa letters and not too much else this week. > this will mostly continue this week. ### @samj1912 [Making sure you're not a bot!](https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/brainzbot/metabrainz/msg/4231212/) > [@samj1912](#): > > Did picard reviews and cleaned up a few pw prs > Apart from that routine maintenance work > _guesses this is his last meeting as a paid team member_ > I’ll be moving to London this weekend ### @iliekcomputers [Making sure you're not a bot!](https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/brainzbot/metabrainz/msg/4231238/) > [@iliekcomputers](#): > > Most of this week was unproductive. > I think I’ve fixed the reason for that over the weekend. > (I’m starting sitting in the library these days to work) > I did work on AB over the weekend > Fixed PRs for dataset dumps, improved testing etc etc > Reviewed @little_rsh and @kartikeyaSh prs > Read up a bunch of spark stuff > For LB > Also, did a bit of visa stuff ### @little_rsh [Making sure you're not a bot!](https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/brainzbot/metabrainz/msg/4231254/) > [@little\_rsh](#): > > This week I worked on some of iliekcomputers reviews on my opened PRs. > Completed the test PR ([AB-352](https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/AB-352 "Write tests for the musicbrainz import script")) which is merged now. > Working on evaluation scripts now which is the only remaining work of this gsoc project i suppose. > I’ll try to create a PR asap and will start writing the work product blog sooner. > And heading towards the last GSoC week 🙂 ### @Zas [Making sure you're not a bot!](https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/brainzbot/metabrainz/msg/4231269/) > [@Zas](#): > > usual maintenance, upgrades, etc > we have a new physical server, named frank > configured and ready to work > we also had a weird issue with burnside, solved by a hetzner techs > apart that, overheating here 😉 ### @yvanzo [Making sure you're not a bot!](https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/brainzbot/metabrainz/msg/4231279/) > [@yvanzo](#): > > Last hot week I fixed some other issues in MusicBrainz VM and rebuilt images (already available on FTP, to be announced soon). > I tried to improve ISNI support for both artist and label in SOLR. > I updated [beta.musicbrainz.org](http://beta.musicbrainz.org) and fixed a few small issues. > Along with usual stuff, that’s all from me. ### @Leo_Verto [Making sure you're not a bot!](https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/brainzbot/metabrainz/msg/4231285/) > [@Leo\_Verto](#): > > I’ve spent the last week suffering without non-mobile internet, preparing datasets and building models for SpamBrainz, currently trying to deal with a model that gets up to 90% accuracy and then finds some stupid way to optimize the loss function while ruining the accuracy to guessing levels. Yay for machine learning black magic! > Other than that it’s just been unbearably hot here. ### @shivamt [Making sure you're not a bot!](https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/brainzbot/metabrainz/msg/4231295/) > [@shivamt](#): > > This week I wrapped up discard import entity and approve entity features > This took up more than expected time, as I had to build most of infrastructure for importEntities in parallel as of the regular entities > This required refactoring quite a bit of present code > and adding a lot of new features. I was saved by the existing code for a number of things. > The past three months have been a great learning experience for me. > I will try my best to wrap up edit and approve feature this week > Along with reviews and documentation for the existing work. ### @chhavi [Making sure you're not a bot!](https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/brainzbot/metabrainz/msg/4231318/) > [@chhavi](#): > > Worked on a PR for table component and opened a couple more documenting my existing work > Apart from that just tidying up for the last week and started working on my blog ### @LordSputnik [Making sure you're not a bot!](https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/brainzbot/metabrainz/msg/4231325/) > [@LordSputnik](#): > > This week I worked on improving our entity handling code, and getting rid of a load of Promise chains and 300-line functions. As part of that, I also added in relationship editing, and have worked out how to do entity merging and reverting merge revisions 😃 > I also met with @shivamt a few times, and reviewed some of his PRs. Finally talked with @Mr_Monkey about some BookBrainz getting started tasks, and he’s having a go at converting our JavaScript build system over to webpack > So far @Mr_Monkey is looking well suited to the new BookBrainz role, and I’d like to work out next steps with @Rob and him ### @Freso [Making sure you're not a bot!](https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/brainzbot/metabrainz/msg/4231334/) > [@Freso](#): > > I mostly had a spontaneous vacation kind of week this week, so other than a very minimum of IRC and forums, I’ve mostly just been keeping an eye on my e-mail to see if anything urgent came up. ### @kartikeyaSh [Making sure you're not a bot!](https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/brainzbot/metabrainz/msg/4231440/) > [@kartikeyaSh](#): > > This week I created PR for [LB-384](https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/LB-384 "MessyBrainz: Create a script to cluster incoming recordings"), [LB-387](https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/LB-387 "MessyBrainz: Add API endpoints to fetch MSIDs or MBIDs") and I’ll create PRs for [LB-385](https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/LB-385 "MessyBrainz: Create indexes to speed up clustering"), [LB-386](https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/LB-386 "MessyBrainz: Check corner cases for empty MBID fields") after the meeting (these are very small bugs). Apart from that, I worked on writing the blog post of my work at MessyBrainz I think I can get it done for a review by tomorrow around this time. I’m left with the integration tests for LB-384, LB-387 (most probably I’ll get it done before the final submission) and working on the reviews of the open PR. > And the GSoC project will be ‘kind of complete’. Unfortunately, I didn’t get time to work on any additional ideas.
