(Pratha-Fish) [mailed in] Last week was mostly traveling (so sick of traveling at this point ), so I mostly just tweaked my tests, tried a few methods to reset my test_db for the tests, and I am currently recursing over it to make sure the tests don’t take like 5 mins to complete
I also learned a little bit about docker on the side, and I was finally able to solve a few of my docker issues on my own! Super happy about that advancement. I hope it saves us some time in the long run :))
Lastly, as my project is running a little behind the clock, I am making a revised timeline for my project. (any advice would be welcome as I am not that good at planning things wayy in advance as things tend to go out of schedule every damn time )

@lucifer

last week, i had multiple discussions about pixelpenguin and vscode_'s GSoC projects.
I also worked on fixing issues in the experimental tags endpoint.
reviewed a few more PRs in LB.

@bitmap

last week I continued working on fixing an issue with building sitemap URLs in the hourly script
also worked more on new json dumps code for artists (finished areas)
and did a bit of code review

@jasjeet

(jasje) last week was normal
got my 2 month old pr wrapped up on lb server
got my 1 week old pr merged on lb android
I think those are parts of a lyric to some dev song : D
lot of mergies and looking forward to other stuff im going to do
x D

@CatQuest

(ApeKattQuest) Continuing to be on vacation, done some instrument images here and there
we switched to use static.metabrainz.org urls for instruments so now using that♊

@reosarevok

I Last week I kept working on adding JS tests
I also worked on a bunch of small tickets
Added a fair amount of new subjects for our teacher relationships
And released the code that blocks beginners from voting - hopefully we’ll have less sockpuppetry issues now

@yvanzo

I fixed a small bug pouring MB server logs and worked on service deployment scripts.
I investigated further the captcha issue and temporarily disabled it.
Also helped with maintenance as services were restarting too often.

@rob

(mayhem) last week was accounting and paying people – the usual accounting hell.
also some work on lb radio and working with lucifer on the tag endpoint, which seemed simple to define and simple to use, but was anything but.
I got it working now, but still need to finish some last bits.
also reviewed arsh’s PR, which is going well, so we’re a bit behind on the project, but the most difficult part of the project is done.
and I learned that for every $50,000 we keep at wise, we earn $250 in interest every month!
so, I’m going to keep more money there and see if I can cover our hosting costs that way. : D

@kellnerd

Last week I finally got the OpenLibrary producer running, I only had to reimplement the import queue logic from scratch : )
Now that the queue is filling up successfully, I’ve updated/rewritten the consumer in the same fashion, but this time it went much quicker.
It is already kind of working but there are still a few errors which are probably caused by dependencies that are hopefully no longer needed with modern JS.
At least I already got the consumer to output a few foreign key constraint violation warnings because I stupidly used a test database with empty tables : D
Let’s hope that’s a good sign and I get the whole import process (for OpenLibrary) working this week, maybe even tomorrow?
That’s still only a small part of my project : )
The bigger part will be MARC records, UI cleanup and supporting the import of relationships

@ShivamAwasthi

Last week I wrote tests for the middleware which is used to give privilege-based access.
I also converted most of the route files to typescript in order to increase type-validation for the middleware.
Received some helpful suggestions from kellnerd on the PR, and worked towards incorporating those changes.
I also worked on creating an Admin Logs page.
Once I finish working on this, I will start working on what can be called the Phase 2 of this project which involves creating Identifier Type Editors and Relationship Type Editors.
Really excited for that.

@arsh331

(arsh) So I was finally able to submit my first PR for my artist similarity graph project
It was not the prettiest I will say
But thanks to mayhem: monkey: I was able to change many things and improve it a lot
So I spent most on that and researching about the search artist feature for the project

Absent (and hadn’t told anyone they were on holiday): akshaaatt (1), riksucks (1), vscode (1), pixelpenguin (1)

There was a bit of idle summit discussion (re. t-shirts and who’s attending), which you can read on the IRC logs here. The meeting closed early.
