@atj

last week I worked with @zas to test deploying a Hetzner vSwitch to all servers so they can communicate securely
as part of that work i simplified the netplan and shorewall configuration in ansible so it should be a bit easier to understand
we just added the vSwitch VLAN to all servers today and no issues have been reported (so far)

@aerozol

I had a lovely break and finally finished Hades (the game)
Apart from that I finally tidied some wiki pages (esp the userscripts one), kept on top of discussions, and have been doing lots of looking at other YIM-type stuff to inform the next one. Hoping to get onto the design early early
I have a pile of stuff to get onto so if anybody has something urgent or that they’re waiting for please nudge me so I can prioritize

@vibhoo_24

This week I tried to learn react and worked on LB-1121
and i am still ficing the bugs as suggested by @mr_monkey
I also tried to find to error in the schema and response body of the appmap generated OpenAPi spec
but I am still working on it.

@mr_monkey

@mr_monkey

Last week I did some long-overdue cleaning up, pampering and improvements of the bookbrainz repos
Setting up automated CI-to-deployment workflows, fixing security issues, cleaning old files, etc.
Merging old PRs too
I gave @rob a React crash course. Lovely student!
Had some good discussions about ListenBrainz and our planned work for the year
And helped a few of our newcomers get set up with our projects and reviewed their PRs.

@zas

@zas

As @atj said we worked on vSwitch deployment this week
apart that, I manage the replacement of both SSDs on paco this Sunday morning
plus usual stuff, supervision, upgrades, Picard PRs reviews, user support
nope, we manage to replace drives one by one
and nothing was lost
the second one was reporting errors, but only the first one was actually damaged enough
about upgrades, a pending one is Discourse 3.x, I’m waiting for @Freso to review changes before deploying

@bitmap

https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/libera/metabrainz/msg/5111174/

@bitmap

last week I worked on MBS-12827, deployed it to production, and deployed a new beta release with recent relationship editor fixes
the first ticket blocks new usernames with control characters and ://
later I spent some time trying to reproduce other rel editor bugs people reported recently
also continued working on the design changes documented in MBS-11847 - still need to fix a few minor issues with the attributes and preview display, but it’s looking a lot better

@yvanzo

@yvanzo

I also helped with stopping the phishing campaign made using MB verification email.
See MusicBrainz Server hotfix, 2023-01-10 – MetaBrainz Blog
Also deployed the ionice patch for evaluation (no alert on Wed, alert again on Sat).
Had a video call with @reosarevok since we didn’t even meet during the last summit.
(Have had an informal annual review as a video call with @bitmap in December.)
Helped with reviewing, triaging and closing SEC tickets so their number didn’t increase.
(There still are 41 security alerts that have not been reviewed for more than a week, most of these for more than a year.)

@CatQuest

https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/libera/metabrainz/msg/5111206/

@CatQuest

This week I will be working on instruments!
there also is a huge backlog of junk to look through
I will also look at bookbainz since I shoud have done that ages ago but
please anyone ping me if there is anything I can help write during docuary♐

@reosarevok

https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/libera/metabrainz/msg/5111215/

@reosarevok

I worked a bit on the relationship editor with bitmap, a bit on updating old PRs, and a bit on documentation
Hopefully a lot more of the latter this week
And I had a call with @yvanzo and some chats with @Freso
Also, I finally managed to send some signed bank papers for MeB. It only took one year
I mean, assuming they don’t lose them again in the way, but it seems this time it’s working

@rob

https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/libera/metabrainz/msg/5111222/

@rob

last week I did the normal background tasks, some accounting and a few other bizdev sorts of things.
I also spent quite a bit of time learning react – and I think it would be a very frustrating process, were it not for @mr_monkey holding my hand.
but I am producing real things and am enjoying it!
I’m also finalizing a trip to Bruxelles Feb 3-6 for Fosdem and then some business meetings on the 6th. (my freaking AirBnB was cancelled and I had to fork out for something more expensive. meh!)
looking forward to knocking out loads of docs this week!

@Pratha-fish

@Pratha-fish

Still working on the MLHD clean-up code!
Tried out some IRC clients for updating the MetaBrainz IRC documentation for newbies (Documentation should be ready soon :D)
Fell sick for a day, but should be back on track soon
Also, I wonder whose idea was it to name the IRC bot “BrainzBot” and not “BotBrainz”? Looks like someone strayed from the naming convention
@Freso: I named the IRC bot. FooBrainz is generally used for our projects where BrainzFoo is generally used for our “tools”.
@yvanzo: our “database” projects (to complete Freso)

@lucifer

https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/libera/metabrainz/msg/5111243/

@lucifer

last week, i worked on finishing up some changes to the missing mb data page. listenbrainz.org/user/lucifer/missing-data/
should be simple to view all unmapped listens for a person and link those manually now.
other than that couple of misc bug fixes in LB, discussions about future roadmap etc. that’s it for me.

@alastairp

https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/libera/metabrainz/msg/5111263/

@alastairp

Last week I met with @lucifer and @aerozol to talk about some design details about how we might show timezone information on user listens, and based on that I did some planning with lucifer about adding this feature to LB.
I had a big discussion with @Pratha-Fish about improvements to the final mapping conversions in the mlhd project. I dug into and fixed the last bug in the musicbrainz metadata mapping dumps that I worked on last month
Starting today I spent some time coming up with some ideas for our MeB docsprint, and started doccing.

@akshaaatt

@akshaaatt

As jasje mentioned, we released YIM on LB android!
We welcomed back @yellowhatpro with a lot of fixes
We also discussed the LB Android roadmap and how we want to design things further
Today, I added Sentry to the LB app to fetch crash logs from the users who download and use the app
That’s pretty much it. We look in a great position currently with the app!

@yellowhatpro

https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/libera/metabrainz/msg/5111290/

@yellowhatpro

Last week we got some bugs covered. Fixed some of them, and got a couple tickets closed.
Discussed the design for the coming LB android app
Will soon make tickets ⊙⁠﹏⁠⊙

@riksucks

I actually helped jivte with the PR and helped him a bit with it, apart from that didn’t do much, lol

@Freso

https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/libera/metabrainz/msg/5111353/

@Freso

Engaged in discussion and review of things related to the username debacle. Poked at some editor reports and flags etc. And caught up on things from my absence over the holidays.
