@Rob

last week I finally got back to technical work and submitted a few PRs and got the typsense server deployed
and I submitted the first PR to clean up sentry noise – we have way too many messages that we routinely ignore, so I’m working on getting that cleaned up
I also chatted with our new GDPR versed laywer, so that if we have questions in the future, I can reach out to that person directly.
I’ve also created a PR for the 2020 troi work and am slowly putting all the pieces that were left dangling in december together.

last week I helped with testing the serviceregistrator code zas is working on (already more to check today with how fast he’s churning code out)
I worked on fixing test failures in https://github.com/metabrainz/musicbrainz-server/pull/1256 and started writing similar tests for the EAA. also splitting the commits and writing commit messages for easier review
the EAA ones don’t pass locally yet but I’m resolving those issues rn
other than that I was just helping debug Flow issues in a couple PRs and doing code review

I deployed new dnscache containers on all machiens
plus usual supervision, and various minor sysadmin tasks
I mainly worked on our registrator alternative:
https://github.com/metabrainz/serviceregistrator
it works, and is compatible with current SERVICE_* syntax
it adds few features, and removes what we don’t need (basically that’s a stripped-down Python version)
I’ll start to work on git2consul alternative soon
I also prepared deployment of new consul

I reviewed and finished the BookBrainz build setup and dependency slimming @LordSputnik and I have been working on
Worked on ListenBrainz on various fronts: fixing some issues with collaborative playlists, reviewing and debugging the recommendation feedback feature, as well as some build-related housekeeping
I reviewed PRs both for BB and LB
And produced some phone-screen icons for @reosarevok

Not much to report. Started poking a bit at some of all my backlog ( ), you should hopefully see me be more active and around this coming week. ‍♂

@yvanzo

Last week I mostly reviewed more MBS PRs again.
Beta MBS update has been delayed by one week waiting for more merges.
Got https://musicbrainz.org/doc/Development/Search_Architecture reviewed and amended.
Fixed a small issue recently reported about MusicBrainz Docker.
Plus support, tickets triage, maintenance (such as hammering williams).

@reosarevok

Last week I worked mostly on non-exciting but hopefully useful stuff related to refactoring plus a bit of json-ld, plus I updated and fixed old PRs as they got looked at
And then I spent quite a bit of time improving our documentation for the indexed search options
(which was old and not very good)
Additionally, my MBBE_Bot finally finished dealing with removing dodgy decoda urls
Now we only have some links by the music collective Decoda which doesn’t give anyone malware
This week I might work on more React forms, if the alias form gets merged (but that’s kinda delayed because of me losing some of bitmap’s improvements at some point during development)

@CatQuest

This week I’ve reordered part of zither-family
I added INST-1011, INST-937
and reorganised some zithers, which included creating new; keyed box zither
pestered @reosarevok in adding irom images also :D (taishogoto, bulbultarang, accordina as well as the two aforementioned added instruments)
we are officially 360˚ here and on full shutdown again, so alas no library until atleast the 31st, probably longer 😿

@alastairp

last week I had a good discussion with @Rob about improving ListenBrainz and other python Brainz startup scripts, in coordination with the consul upgrade
and later in the week we threw around some ideas about making it easier to debug services that don’t come up as expected
I also reviewd some PRs from @amCap1712 for applying consul changes to CB and LB, thanks @amCap1712
and did some work with @Mr_Monkey on fixing JS tests for LB. We’re going to have to install a new jenkins plugin to do this better
I’m going to be a bit quieter for the next 3-4 weeks because I have some other work that I need to get finished, but I’ll still be around doing PRs and upgrades

I worked on consul changes for CB, AB and mb2wikidatabot.
I also reviewed a couple of PRs for the android app.

I took a break from all things dev due to some personal issues. Gave some sessions and took advocate role spreading information about OSS and MeB.
Trying to catch up with the current flow and will start contributing. Mostly inclined towards LB/BB, but open to any repo which needs volunteer work.
