@aerozol

[mailed in to reo and not read at the meeting for obvious reasons] Nothing interesting at all to report this week
I mentioned this ages ago, but how time has flown! A reminder to everyone that I’ll be away on holiday from July 6-26th.
I’ll have my laptop with me to do urgent work but won’t be checking in often. If you have something you need done, let’s do it now

@CatQuest

This week is summer solstice! Happy Summer Solstice to everyone! ☼
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY REOSAREVOK!
Summer is here and it’s too hot to do anything but laze around for a few weeks. I’ll be back later!
In general I’ll still be trying to d oa fair bit of images and such♉

@zas

last week we released a new beta of Picard 2.9
so I spent some time on it, few more cleanup patches, we’ll release another one soon, since few issues were revealed
apart that, we had an issue with solr, things come back to normal after a full restart of the whole cluster, inspection didn’t reveal any clue about what happened exactly though : (
we just received new server, named jimmy, it will replace floyd or pink once we’ll check everything is ok
plus usual maintenance, upgrades (discourse was upgraded), fixes, and MB edits.

@snaekboi

last week was quite productive!
I spent some time discussing some project details with reosarevok adn bitmap
And of our PRs is already done!
Working on soom more features and tests for teh musicbrainz-bot, for which I am kinda struggling to setup the musicbrainz-docker repo, but thanks to ya all’s help it’s coming together smoothly ^ _ ^
Irony strikes hard, because I just disconnected in teh middle of the meeting
[disconnects again, but luckily has already finished]

@bitmap

at the start of last week I hot-fixed an issue related to the sentry.meb.org switchover that was causing css/js to not load on some pages
it was due to content-security-policy headers restricting which domains can be used, now fixed
also fixed some stale configuration referencing the old gateways in our CI setup
preventing css/js from being rsynced to the new gateways
also fixed a script used by our sitemaps indexing cron job that was causing it to fail to start, due to missing directories and permission issues…
there’s another issue with the hourly sitemaps that I’m debugging which appears to be a code or data issue. so those will be down for a bit longer but should be back this week.
otherwise, I spent a good chunk of time on code review

@akshaaatt

I have been reviewing PRs here and there and enjoying stuff lately. Things are coming together good
We still have a prod release due for LB app. I intend to sort it out this week.
Other than that, I’ve just been learning some cool stuff. Getting a lot into ML. Let’s see how it goes. I come with an applications thinking. So hopefully all this learning can nudge me to make crazy stuff

@rob

last week was dealing with signing a new contract and there is good news and bad news.
the good news, we signed Epidemic Sound from Sweden as a unicorn.
the bad news is that Xperi (Tivo) cancelled their unicorn contract.
so, no gain, no loss. meh.
the I had the usual background foundation work and some background work on more marketing/comms. and pushing out the “build your own music tagger” post. which got a sum total of fuck-all uptake.
it seems that you can’t tell get anyone to cover you on anything unless you are doing AI. meh.
I also picked up work on artist-radio, which will become lb-radio – I should have some thing to test in the next day or so.
I’m sure there were other things too, but forgetting those now. too much stuff on. : )

@reosarevok

I worked a bit with aerozol to get new icons into MB
(they’re pretty)
I worked a bit with Pratha-Fish to guide his GSoC
A bit with bitmap to get some old PRs merged
There’s only like 130 instead of 140 now? Maybe : D
And now I’m resting and enjoying a couple days out. Back more or less by the end of the week

@lucifer

last week, i worked on integrating soundcloud player into BrainzPlayer. a couple of issues pending to be resolved before I open the PR.
also had a conversating with pixelpenguin on the DSH project, he’ll open a PR in a day or two.
some misc discussions and bug fixes.

@atj

last week i started writing ansible roles to install and configure openresty and consul-template
this is needed for our next project which is to move openresty out of docker and install it natively on rudi/rex, so that zas doesn’t have to spend loads of time manually compiling openresty docker images for upgrades
hoping to start testing the roles in anger this week

@kellnerd

As I already reported last week, I was busy with a university project, for which I’ve finished a demonstrator on Friday.
Now I’m getting back into my GSoC project, continuing with undusting old code and testing with RabbitMQ.
Hopefully I’ll have more to report next week.
P.S. And I couldn’t resist brushing up on my CSS knowledge a bit (for the MB importer project).

@arsh331

So I spent a lot of time in improving the interactive graph to make it more userfriendly and incorporate the score factor into it
I think I am almost done and will be wrapping up the graph component of my project
Overall I guess I am a little behind on my project but I will catch up this week to ensure everything works out on time

@jasjeet

i have been snoozing last week
some things here and there

@vardansaini

I did experimental integration of Apple Music player into brainz player
Most of the things are hardcoded right now but tracks are playing
I should be able to setup the OAuth by next week

@ShivamAwasthi

Last week was really slow for me.
I addressed some of the feedback I received from ansh on the Edit privileges PR I had made the week before.
It still needs some work
Hopefully I’ll pick up pace this week once monkey is around.
I’m still somewhat ahead from my proposed timeline, so that’s good.
