Today, I’m back from holiday and I’ll be leading you in your rite._ ## Reviews > [@aerozol](#): > > [mailed in] > Kia ora koutou. I’m not sure if I’ve explained why I’m mailing in all the time now, but it’s because daylight savings happened and these meetings are now at my 5am. No thank you. However I will try be around soon after the meeting, so if you need me, hang around afterwards to catch me. > I’ve still had non-MeB work on, which has been taking most of my time, and possibly also entering a bit of a ‘summer is over’ malaise/lethargy. Tips on staying motivated are welcome! > I did the usual bit of community outreach/monitoring, and added Mastodon to the list of things to keep an eye on. I discovered lucifer and outsidecontext already doing a bit of the lord’s work (meaning MeB stuff, of course) on there, which is awesome. > Akshaaatt and Jasje _finally_ managed to drag me into Android app discussions, and we had a great meeting about some overall project stuff on the weekend. Still lots to work out, but I’ve started getting stuck into the figma, and tidying up the other project figma’s to match as well. > A big part of it (which Jasje had already started!) is having clearer asset sections in figma, to which I added some more links and information. Seeing so many of this years gsoc contributor’s use figma in their applications makes me think this is a very worthwhile move - if someone is pointed to our figma they should now have a lot of the links and guidelines they need right there. Feedback welcome - [the LB App figma](https://www.figma.com/file/tFLTQiq7QlA1oGRTJVtXml/ListenBrainz-Android). > I did some stuff on [[MBH-542](https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MBH-542): Replace wiki favicon with updated MB logo], which some of you may like to have a peep at and have input into - particularly whether the wiki icon + logo should be MB or MeB colours. > Related: It made me think we could have a different icon for the forum as well, if this would be helpful to you please tag me after the meeting and I can make a ticket. > [@CatQuest](#): > > Was gone last time since easter (sorry :D) > This week I will be updating Aliases for added instruments now, wrestling with some computer issues unrelated to mb > Anyway it’s spring (FINALLY!) here now so I’ll be afk a bit working on planting and the like, getting dirt under the nails :D.♓ > [@zas](#): > > last week, I continued on tuning load balancing weights for MB services in order of improving overall response times and loads > I also reviewed a bunch of PRs (Picard & Ansible-related mostly) > Plus usual supervision, upgrades, user support. > [@rob](#): > > last week was some more accounting follow up (always happens after sending out invoices) > a few PRs and thankfully a break from the GSoC Madness. We’ll be picking that up again this week… right monkey ? : p > I did some work and rework and reinvention with regards to artist-radio recs – this is a surprisingly slow slog. > and I filed all of the paperwork necessary for our accountants to start on our tax return. > and the Q1 finances look like this might turn out as planned this year – like I said, I am hoping to close to break-even this year. > [@akshaaatt](#): > > As aerozol mentioned, we had a great discussion over things > Other than that, I’ve just been busy reviewing stuff, which is great compared to last year where we had to be loners to work on things! > The app team is getting huge and we have people working on all sorts of areas > That’s pretty much it for it. Looking forward to massive stuff! > [@lucifer](#): > > last week i worked on modifying album stats to work on release group level instead of releases. i also looked into a couple of mapping issues and fixed those. finally did some more testing of the listen schema migration. > [@mr\_monkey](#): > > Last week I worked on a little bit of GSOC discussions/reviews, a little bit of updating outdated critical packages, and a little bit of BookBrainz guidelines discussions > I also reviewed lots of PRs, and created a couple of small ones for ListenBrainz, mostly to do with displaying cover art > A tiny bit of LB redesign work too, more of that this week ! > [@yvanzo](#): > > Last week, I updated MB beta with a few changes, being released today. > Further timed disk I/O latency on trille, it looks good despite the alert… > Plus a lot of tickets triage and some support. > [@bitmap](#): > > last week I moved the dbmirror2 test database to aretha 'cause I was running out of space locally > I spent time fixing some replication issues I found (nothing in the dbmirror2 extension itself, mostly the replication scripts, so no showstoppers) > also did some MBS code review > [@reosarevok](#): > > I finally came back from my holiday > And I started updating a lot of PRs which had clashes with recent updates, be it flow types or other refactoring issues > A bunch of that will hopefully be in beta soon 🙂 > This week I’ll do more of that, probably - trying to get our PR list down > [@atj](#): > > Last week I was captivated by reosarevok’s holiday stories, such as the lack of good soft drinks. > Once I’d regained my concentration I worked on adding sentry to ansible and also made some improvements to the Docker role. > [@kellnerd](#): > > Last week I’ve addressed monkey’s feedback for my BB Wikipedia PR which hopefully can be merged soon. > Over the weekend I did a bit of housekeeping for my userscript repo and split it into multiple repos to make it easier to reuse code, something for which atj showed interest. > And I’ve also continued working on another MB related project which I won’t reveal yet : D > [@snaekboi](#): > > Sadly I don’t have any updates for this week, college exams and practicals are on the top of our heads rn. But I"ll be in the chat every once in a while : ) Absent: jivte (1), riksucks (1), jasje (1)
