I mainly worked on preparing Ansible move, meeting with @atj, reading documentation, and we did a bunch of experiments. We (with @atj) plan to replace cage by a new server, and work on a playbook to ease the new server deployment.
I also reviewed and merged a few Picard PRs.
Plus usual supervision, upgrades, user support, edits.

I documented more tests, mostly, and I also did some code review
Plus spent a fair amount of time looking at style tickets, which I had kinda left unloved for a bit
(so we now have a bunch more release status, the Non-binary gender, and a new event type and series type for awards)

As usual, last week contained lots of PR reviewing for BB and LB
I continued working on mood classification and tagging. It’s taking a while, but it can’t be rushed lest we anger everyone out there.
I’ve got a good grasp on how that component is going to look like now.
I’ve been working with and helping Shubh on importing entities into MB from third-party websites
Did some debugging of BrainzPlayer, and some LB design
In particular preparing for continuing work on redesigning BrainzPlayer, a PR I started late last year
And a smidge of work on the new LB album endpoint

last week I continued working on schema change tickets, code review, and updating some refactoring PRs I had open
rn testing the individual upgrade scripts I added to make sure those are good
also worked on adding some fontawesome Flow types for @akshaaatt’s homepage PR which I’ll have ready today

@yvanzo

Last week I updated a PR to bring timestamp for every line of log in MusicBrainz Server.
(It is expected to help us with debugging still current I/O load alerts for example.)
Prepared for migrating Weblate, updated code for spam report and artist credits MBID.
Debugged a contributed patch to the triggers generated by the search indexer.
Reviewed PRs, handled alerts (SolrCloud, MB Website), and that’s all folks!

@rob

last week I did the usual metabrainz background tasks.
and PRs and the normal usual routines.
I also started “working” on yet another surprise for you all, but the ducks didn’t align in time to reveal it right now. alas. we’ll share the news during the week.
and I did some hacking on various LB projects, but those are just not coming to me right now.
can’t have been all that important, right?

@alastairp

this week I did some LB (code) reviews, and finished off the CB work to put (album) reviews in LB
I talked with @mr_monkey about mood things, and started collecting some tag annotations from LB/lastfm and others to see how many annotations we already have that could be related to moods already, and how they can be characterised
I finished off a notebook which I had started which shows the results of a handful of mood models which I know of, mostly confusion it seems. I’m interested to see what a larger dataset of crowd-sourced mood annotations could do to help with these kind of models, happy to talk about them in more detail - tandy1000, riksucks you were both interested in this as well
@mr_monkey and I briefly threw around some ideas about if we could do bookbrainz reviews in CB as a SoC project
I picked up a bunch of small CB tasks and upgrades, and am trying to close off all current open PRs
finally, we blogged about the AB shutdown and I spent some time responding to comments about that

@akshaaatt

Last week my major focus was on cleaning up ListenBrainz and we are now looking forward to injecting the design system into it so I was progressing on getting that done.
Also, MusicBrainz revamp work is going strong and I fixed the design changes we discussed with the team a few days back.
I am hopeful of getting the work done in a few days.
Other than that during my free time I made a flask app for achieving quantum entanglement and making the first ever perfectly encrypted app!
Happy with last week

I mostly worked on the PR to move listen min/max timestamps from cache to a pg table and some related changes to listen deletion. quite a few edge cases came up so discussed about those with mayhem.
other than that some small PRs, like fixing total listen counts on LB index page and adding a messybrainz page to LB with the intent to redirect msb.org to lb.org/msb in near future.

@Freso

I spent some time catching up on some forum stuff, incl. adding a bunch of “newly” elected autoeditors to the AE group on the forum so that they can post to the AE part of it.
Otherwise dealt with reports and flags and being about etc.

preparing Ansible move

To better understand what Ansible is, it is a move to Ansible from where/what?

@CatQuest

Today is my 18th MusicBrainz anniversary!

Wow, congratulations!
I prefer not count for myself.

@rob

I also started “working” on yet another surprise for you all

I’m curious!

Ansible is an automation platform, it will replace shell scripts we currently use to deploy new server base system (OS/common utilities/docker).
