I had a very productive December
During the new year’s, I had a great trip with my friends and visited some great cities here in India
Last week I had mild sinusitis so had been resting. Good now!
Have some unfinished business with @mr_monkey and looking forward to a great month ahead!

happy new year, feliz reyes, etc, etc, etc
at the tail end of last year after the last meeting (yes?) we launched LB year in music, which from what we saw on twitter went down really well
I’m really happy with it, and it certainly exceeded my expectations. thanks to @lucifer (and everyone else) for all of his amazing work on this, thanks to @rob for the playlists, I listened to a few with @mr_monkey at the office just after we released it and mine summed me up perfectly. Spent a day or so fixing some reported bugs, answering to people on forums/twitter etc.
looking forward to seeing which bits of it can be pulled into regular stats
my biggest achievement over the break was cycling 500km in 7 days
and then subsequently sleeping most of the following week, because it turns out that cycling 500km in 7 days is really tiring
I finished pushing all of the genre tags to musicbrainz that I had been working on through the last month or so!, including cleaning up the handful of bad tags that I initially submitted. I don’t have complete stats of what I added yet, but I’m planning on publishing something in the forums this week explaining what we did
I also responded to some support emails for @reosarevok, and also had a few small discussions with @lucifer

I was mostly off for holidays, so didn’t much MB stuff (but I did some “IRL picard” cleaning/organizing my records)
I worked on a plan for improving MB Telegram alerts handling, which I linked here earlier, and started a syswiki doc for sharing common diagnostics knowledge
and IIRC after the last meeting several weeks ago I worked a bit on React state handling in the release editor
hoping to work more on the documentation this week and investigate some warnings spamming our logs

Since last meeting, I completed updating Jira server, reviewed a few MBS PRs,
worked on alerts and discussed further sysem
system issues with @zas.
Also investigated Weblate integration, will ping @outsidecontext if he is around this week.

We released Picard 2.7.1 just before Christmas
I worked on new patches for 2.7.2 (due this week) and 2.8
I had a nice video meeting with @yvanzo
plus usual maintenance, upgrades, keeping things up
I also did a lot of edits

happy new years!
I did very little in the break, other than go to california and eat tacos and then go do a lot of hiking in catalunya. 60km for the year so far.
I did take a break from hiking to pay people, one useful thing.
today I started the accounting for year
we may have a record year, but not by much over 2018.
$512 income, so that’s nice.
team: I know contracts are due, but I have a lot of work to do before we’re ready to jump through those hoops.
I’m working on it and will hopefully have something sometime next week.

I did nothing
I’m going to do nothing until the 13th
Then I will hopefully start doing something
Ok, not quite true, I did keep an eye on support, even if slower than usual
(@alastairp: you didn’t do nothing, you sent me at least 1 email!)
But I wrote 0 code
I also talked a bit with @bitmap and @yvanzo about the plan for alerts

I worked on misc stuff over the past weeks. disclaimer: lots of it is unfinished and needs discussions before progressing further so may take time to land in prod.
tried to debug the lfm import issues many users reported, not much success on my side but multiple users later followed up that disabling ublock (adblocker) helped. will look deeper hopefully soon. also answered some queries on community and twitter.
worked on fixing many api compat bug fixes, making year in music rerunable, improved mbid support in various LB features (feedback, pinned recordings), importing feedback from lfm, backfilling entire listen history from spotify (similar to lfm import).
worked on adding some new stats including UI for more ranges and entirely new ones, sneak peek here

finally made some progress on long pending tasks like improving test infra and service connection handling.

I did very little in the last three weeks, though I did start picking up things a bit last week. Going through reported editors (looots of spammers I’d rather wait with touching until the spammer flag gets in………) dealing with forum flags and stuff like that.
