# #MetaBrainz Meeting 2018-08-20 Meeting start: [Making sure you're not a bot!](https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/brainzbot/metabrainz/msg/4238482/) Song of the week (“Let’s see if we can go”): [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/WImWuxHbQCw/maxresdefault.jpg "The Glitch Mob - Beyond Monday (Official Video)") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WImWuxHbQCw) ## Agenda - [Reviews](#reviews) ## Reviews ### @iliekcomputers [https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/brainzbot/metabrainz/msg/4238489/](https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/brainzbot/metabrainz/msg/4238489/) > [@iliekcomputers](#): > > I did a lot of visa stuff, got the visa for the gsoc mentor summit, had to go through very long queues in delhi. > After that, I wrote code for acousticbrainz that would allow us to dump the database at least. And I mucked around with spark to integrate it into the dev environment for ListenBrainz, should have a PR up for that. > Oh, and I filled the gsoc eval for @little_rsh. ### @chhavi [https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/brainzbot/metabrainz/msg/4238496/](https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/brainzbot/metabrainz/msg/4238496/) > [@chhavi](#): > > This week I worked in getting back on my mockup game again. Worked on release page. Also an “inventory” of sort for all the UI elements. So that either I or @bitmap can build/delegate them. Plus the final blog got me all excited to keep going \<3 ### @Rob [https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/brainzbot/metabrainz/msg/4238502/](https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/brainzbot/metabrainz/msg/4238502/) > [@Rob](#): > > greetings from edin-bru! > I have not much to say about my last week, except for one things really. > we’ve received a lawsuit that relates to us showing images from the wikimedia commons. > that is why the feature was taken down. > we’ve retained counsel and we are weighing our options literally as we speak. > that is literally all I can say right now. > if you ask me a question about this, I will give you no answer, so please do no ask. > that said, I do not think that this will be of a great impact to us overall, other than a distraction. ### @ApeKattQuest_MonkeyPython [https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/brainzbot/metabrainz/msg/4238523/](https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/brainzbot/metabrainz/msg/4238523/) > [@ApeKattQuest\_MonkeyPython](#): > > Last week I managed to whittle down the outstanding INST tickets for the lgs version down to four (soon three) instrument requests! > Basically the reason these are taking so long is because these are the difficult ones at the bottom of the barrel so to speak. > I talked with @reosarevok and we agreed that any requests for Experimental\_musical\_instrument 's should demonstrate some actual usage (and not just be one-off “I did a weird thing” type) > so that was a relief! 😹 > That also plays into my work on [OTHER-326](https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/OTHER-326 "Make wiki page describing the process of adding INST"), which is what I will be working on, This week. 😸 > As for the other, OTHER ticket, :D, I have left only to fill in the release notes and to ask reo and @freso to look at it for logical and grammatical errors 😃 > Finally I expect to have the lgs version finished this week and to make some headway into Et! (ensembles and families) version, a lot of (I expect) very wanted instruments are in that batch so I am looking forward to it! ### @reosarevok [https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/brainzbot/metabrainz/msg/4238539/](https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/brainzbot/metabrainz/msg/4238539/) > [@reosarevok](#): > > I mostly did support, editing, and trying to enjoy the last days of summer (e.g. more camping) > I also helped @ApeKattQuest_MonkeyPython a bit (with a delay) > That’s about it for now, but summer is finishing sadly so I’ll be back to staying at home looking at the rain > slash screen > So you’ll see me more, probably! ### @Freso [https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/brainzbot/metabrainz/msg/4238553/](https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/brainzbot/metabrainz/msg/4238553/) > [@Freso](#): > > So I herded and reviewed a number of final GSoC blog posts. > I haven’t been much involved with GSoC otherwise, so it was great to get this chance to get a slightly more in-depth look of what y’all’ve been up to the last few months. Great stuff. 🙂 > I also registered myself as attending the GSoC mentor summit as our designated GCI mentor/admin, so after seeing @iliekcomputers and @yvanzo in Barcelona in 1½ months, I’ll be seeing them again in ~2 months. 😛 > Other than that, mostly being around and about, handling spam, etc. ### @yvanzo [https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/brainzbot/metabrainz/msg/4238563/](https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/brainzbot/metabrainz/msg/4238563/) > [@yvanzo](#): > > Released a MusicBrainz server update along with a new slave server virtual machine. > Reviewed GSoC project SpamBrainz by @Leo_Verto, and pull requests by @bitmap. > Worked towards JIRA SSO, boosted by @legoktm’s own work towards Wiki SSO. :^) > Continued converting UI code to React, and updated guess case/guess featured artists. ### @Bitmap [https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/brainzbot/metabrainz/msg/4238575/](https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/brainzbot/metabrainz/msg/4238575/) > [@Bitmap](#): > > mostly worked on some prs for the react migration, submitted one for the artist merge ui and converted some knockout bits > fixed some bugs related to the recording video icons and standardized where it’s displayed > looked into some memory spikes with the webservie containers and found an issue with the /ws/2/discid endpoint, submitted a pr to limit the amount of data it returns > just code review other than that. ### @zas [https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/brainzbot/metabrainz/msg/4238583/](https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/brainzbot/metabrainz/msg/4238583/) > [@zas](#): > > we had issues with burnside, which was replaced by a better server, most of the hassle handled by @rob & hetzner techs > also we had issues with diskspace on prince, due to some obscure bug in docker, fixed now > renewed \*.mb.o cert and deployed > migrated all domains to gandi V5 (and what they call LiveDNS) > Picard PRs reviews & patches > merged and deployed picard plugins fixes > plus usual stuff, upgrades, and a lot of MB edits ### @kartikeyaSh [https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/brainzbot/metabrainz/msg/4238593/](https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/brainzbot/metabrainz/msg/4238593/) > [@kartikeyaSh](#): > > This week I didn’t do anything on MessyBrainz. But I read a lot of data structure problems for the interviews. Now I can create a linked list from a binary tree (without using extra space). I can convert stack into a queue blah blah. Don’t know why on earth I’ll do that. Once I’m free I’ll work on MsB PRs to get those merged. ### @little_rsh [https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/brainzbot/metabrainz/msg/4238600/](https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/brainzbot/metabrainz/msg/4238600/) > [@little\_rsh](#): > > Last week I filled the final evaluation and completed the blog post. > And then came back to work on open PRs (before gsoc). I would complete some left over work of [AB-98](https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/AB-98 "Generate custom project file during model evaluation stage") this week now. > And I’ve pushed some commits to [AB-21](https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/AB-21 "Webservice API : getting data for multiple recordings with one request") last week. > And regarding the evaluation PR, after I get a review from @iliekcomputers , we’ll complete it soon. ### @shivamt [https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/brainzbot/metabrainz/msg/4238612/](https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/brainzbot/metabrainz/msg/4238612/) > [@shivamt](#): > > This week I worked on the PR reviews. > Fixed some bugs > Working on some remaining features > Most of the PRs are merged now > Some changes are remaining on the site, part. > Which I aim to finish off this week. ### @LordSputnik [https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/brainzbot/metabrainz/msg/4238628/](https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/brainzbot/metabrainz/msg/4238628/) > [@LordSputnik](#): > > This week I worked on entity editing > I managed to successfully add relationships between entities on my local test site > So the new relationship editor stuff is finally working > I then worked out how to get it to work properly for adding relationships at the same time as entities are created (rather than just for existing entities), so I’m working on doing that now > As a result of the improvements to editing I’ve been doing, we can now cut about 200-300 lines of code from the entity editing logic > Which is a nice side-effect 🙂 > Apart from that, I’ve been reviewing bukwurm’s work and also talking to @Mr_Monkey about his work on webpack
