To replace the traditional New Year’s Eve fireworks, here is an animated (2:43) git history of MetaBrainz projects in 2020:

Most main projects are represented. If you don’t see one main contributor, it’s because they were too productive to be statically represented!
Since last meeting, I finally updated MB search, see blog post.
(It completely defeated the development workflow I posted earlier, so I have to update docs again.)
Also found that the bugged .dockerignore file for SIR was similar for most of our Python projects.
I already submitted a patch for ListenBrainz, will do the same with other projects.
Now I’m trying to catch up with MBS PR reviews.

not much to report. xmas. nye.
I reconciled our accounts today and we’re $15k in the hole for the year.
in theory we earned $45k more had those two paid us on time. which for 2020 is a pretty good result, having lost a few customers.
then last year, just before xmas I managed to deliver the year end playlists, which actually were quite nice, IMHO.
I found one bug, but that was because of a spotify export, something we’ll improve with a better mapping in due time.
but my partner and I listened to our playlists and felt that they were a good reflection of the year and the year review was particularly nice since it limited each artist to 2 tracks, which got me far further down the list of top recordings.
that was it. tomorrow I have another day of year and stuff and then hopefully on wednesday I can get back to technical work,.

@Mr_Monkey

Not much to report either since last meeting, mostly fixing the bookbrainz dump cron job that was temporarily broken and finishing up some playlist features before the end of year surprise
And quiet celebrations

I didn’t accomplish a ton during the holidays, but did work some more on the event art archive UI for MBS
otherwise I spent a good chunk of time on code review
and deployed a couple minor things, i.e. the postgres health check fixes we worked on a couple weeks back and a DBDefs fix to enable the recording first release date feature in production

@reosarevok

I had a proper rest for a few days
Then I started fixing stuff reported in the last few days
I’m really bad at keeping the number of PRs down, sorry @bitmap / @yvanzo
Oh, and I merged some stuff

@ApeKattQuest_MonkeyPython

I didn’t do anything because holidays and stuff!
and I won’t be doing much until the 6th either. 13 days of christmas and al lthat
but I have started planning. I’ll be updating the berimbau and looking into adding the stack of books to bookbrainz
other than that it’s still “quiet before the storm” here. still dark until 9-10 am you know, norway

I did usual supervision (hopefully nothing bad happened during holidays)
user support (mostly unblacklisting)
also worked on Picard, we plan 2 new releases very soon (2.5.x stable + 2.6)

@alastairp

did a big push the week before christmas to get playlist stuff released - did a bunch of general backend + frontend + deploy + blog post stuff and got it out on the 24th
then took the rest of the year off, just slowly getting back into code review today

@Freso

Not much for me either. Just holing up and reading and studying and having a covid scare (tested negative, and am alright now). Spent a bit of time hardening and reorganising my systems a bit, to hopefully be better to manage things. :x
(Oh, also, I have exam next Monday. I should be around for meeting, but, yeah, studying this week, writing exam next week.)
