I also modified dashboard and alerts accordingly. > Plus usual supervision, upgrades, user support, PRs reviews and MB edits. > [@CatQuest](#): > > unfortunately I got ill so I haven’t been doing much > but I did manage to add [aliases for bagpipes](https://musicbrainz.org/instrument/1d865ced-d86a-4277-8914-009740e37887/aliases) > [@Pratha-Fish](#): > > I went through some MusicBrainz projects and found the “Automate areas management in MusicBrainz” thing pretty interesting, and last week I went back and forth with reosarevok to try and understand the problem statement > Looking forward to exploring this project for a while 🙂 > [@bitmap](#): > > last week I finished working on [MBS-12924](https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MBS-12924) though the PR ended up causing some other subtle bugs and test failures I spent a few days fixing > so I think most of my hours last week were spent fixing or adding tests, working on improving the logging/build artifacts in our Selenium tests, and code review > later on I worked on a regression related to that ticket I first mentioned, [MBS-12936](https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MBS-12936), and also [MBS-12937](https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MBS-12937) > [@aerozol](#): > > I had my brother and niece visiting last week, and was going to ‘balance’ work with that > Not much got done and I’m definitely considering a vasectomy lolol > I did the usual stuff, a few interesting things with yvanzo bitmap and reosarevok around the relationship editor > [MBS-12866](https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MBS-12866) and [MBS-12935](https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MBS-12935) were interesting discussions and processes I thought, it’s all looking good. Really appreciating the attention to detail > [@kellnerd](#): > > Hi, last week I worked on two new MB importer userscripts, mostly for my own niche (audio dramas and podcasts). > Then I started reviewing some BB PRs without being asked for it ; ) > Last Friday, I’ve finally setup a BB dev server and worked on first PR today: [BB-712](https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/BB-712) > I plan to keep working on some small BB PRs and will probably apply for GSoC this year : ) > [@lucifer](#): > > last week i worked on adding release support to mbid mapper and improving the similar artists algorithm wrt to featuring artists. > [@atj](#): > > Sadly nothing of substance to report from last week. > [@akshaaatt](#): > > I’ve been welcoming new contributors and users to the LB android app lately! > Also, figuring things out in a more standard way. When it comes to app dev and releases, we can’t take things lightly > Besides that, I have a busy week currently because I’m planning to go on a vacation next week ⚡ > [@rob](#): > > last week was pretty rough for me personally so it was kinda slow on the work front. > I did some recommended track analysis to understand the results better, which was enlightening > I also did the usual biz dev stuff and helped zas with setting up a new drive array at the office. > and today I started working on a new react based explore page, so monkey and I can get the redesign underway. ## MBS-9356 [MBS-9356](https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MBS-9356): Remove existing editors with no confirmed email and no OAuth tokens/edits/votes > [@](#): > > @CatQuest said that it was important to check they don’t have any reviews or CB/LB accounts, @reosarevok confirmed that that was covered by checking they don’t have oauth tokens. > [@reosarevok](#): > > So, [we have a PR for that with a script and whatnot](https://github.com/metabrainz/musicbrainz-server/pull/2314) > I would like to run this in a week or two at most, because getting rid of a ton of potentially dormant spam accounts sounds like a good deal to me > (and then to start running it every week or two) > lucifer, mayhem, monkey: I understand that you can’t use LB/BB/CB without an OAuth token in MB, right? > Right now > So we don’t need any extra checks than “there’s a token” for that > [@](#): > > @rdswift: Is there some sort of delay so that new users don’t get deleted if they just signed up and haven’t confirmed their email? > @reosarevok: this one runs only on one-year-old accounts > The idea was to then have a two-week grace period, but a month would be fine too really > (when we run it on cron) > @aerozol: I would maybe give it more space than 2 weeks, a month is good > [@](#): > > @aerozol: This would clean up so much spam (do we need to add a notification for this, or change sign up text somewhere?) > @reosarevok: mayhem: should the login page mention unused accounts without an email will eventually get purged do you think? > @rob: sounds like a good idea. but will anyone read it? > @CatQuest: deff on the signup page > General agreement that we should have it and if nobody reads it it’s their fault, at least. Conclusion: > [@reosarevok](#): > > Ok, so the general idea seems fine still. yvanzo: please try to find some time to look at this in the next week or two 🙂 (if you don’t manage, we can wait for you, don’t worry too much) ## libdiscid > [@outsidecontext](#): > > libdiscid: I’d like to put out a new release before CDs become totally obsolete 🙂 Last release had been 6 years ago. > This is mostly about putting out updated source and binary packages. There have been a couple of fixes and updates to the build system over the years, but there is also added Haiku platform support. > I have made everything ready and setup the build system to produce all the release files. so basically all that is left is bumping the version numbers and tagging the release. > But I’ll need some support then to put the packages onto the MB file servers and transcluding the libdiscid Wiki page for [libdiscid - MusicBrainz](https://musicbrainz.org/doc/libdiscid) @rob and @outsidecontext efficiently arranged to do this together tomorrow evening 🎉 * * * Absent regulars: jasje (1) ---
