@reosarevok: Hi and welcome to Birthday Monday

Reviews

@mr_monkey

(monkey) [mailed in] Last Tuesday a very close friend of mine passed away suddenly.
I’ve been grieving and dealing with the surprising amount of logistics that comes with death.
As a consequence I only really worked on Monday and have been 98% AFK since.
That being said, I did review GSOC projects and filled in the midterm evaluations.

@vishalftw

(pixelpenguin) [mailed in] I have improved datetime support in query ui, link for the commit [link]
2:03 AM
I have improved formatting of free fall results, link for the commit [link]

@rob

(mayhem) I posted a blog post explaining where the MusicBrainz name came from today, since its MB’s birthday.
last week was kinda slow – lots of visitors in town and generally hot summer weather in BCN made it difficult to concentrate most of the week.
but then I worked on lb-radio a bit, reviewed some PRs, accounting/emails and the usual background sort of stuff. hoping to really get back into things this week.

@yvanzo

Finally got the disk I/O load alert resolved!
(About to close the ticket.)
[mayhem asks what the fix was] Docker’s run option to limit device read/write speed per container.
It wasn’t the preferred solution because it could have degraded performances but it doesn’t much so far.
It still required the support for cgroup/docker on the host, all the work that has been done by atj and zas.
Also published MB release, reviewed a few PRs, worked on Weblate.
Some support including a call to a team who are doing great with MB mirror.
Not much to report otherwise as I’ve been mostly sick last week.

@lucifer

last week, i reviewed a few PRs, filled in the midterm eval, worked on upgrading the flask version in LB (quite a few incompatible changes introduced in the latest version) and added react support to MeB.org.

@atj

not much to report last week as I was catching up with work after getting back from holiday.
made a small PR for MB server but nothing of any significance that was sysadmin related

@bitmap

last week I submitted the PR to upgrade Flow that I’ve been working on, after trying and failing to debug some issues related to Babel/ESLint parsers
and I also worked some on patching JSON dumps to use the new JSON replication packets

@kellnerd

Last week I continued improving the consumer application of the importer queue.
Now there is an option to put invalid/problematic messages into a separate queue and the CLI accepts arguments to change the standard names of these queues.
This allows us to run a new consumer instance which deals with the remaining messages easily without having to drop these messages as in the initial implementation (negative acknowledgment would cause an infinite loop).
Combined with a CLI option to purge the import queue, we now have a flexible tool for the most important queue management tasks, which is no longer properly described with the term “consumer”, so I’m open to suggestions of catchy names for that command line app.
I’ve also created type definitions for queued entities which has already revealed a small bug in the OpenLibrary producer.
Currently I’m still in the process of setting up a minimal BB test DB which is empty except for required external types such as languages etc.
Then we’ll see whether the whole thing works : )

@reosarevok

Last week I dealt with a bunch of style tickets, plus a bunch of small fixes and additions, nothing too big
It’s harder to get stuff done when it’s nice weather : D
I have gotten significantly less reports about sockpuppeting, so at least that change seems to be working
(now if only getting rid of spam was as easy)

@akshaaatt

I’ve been reviewing PRs as usual
Also, had to bang my head and juggle with my visa application. Need to apply from a different region
Other than that, I met lucifer and we had a good meet

@jasjeet

(jasje) last week was mellow
small amount of labour was done
but the research was strong
educating myself on core topics
and have begun the main feed section’s planning and implementation
also
postgresql suks [them’s fighting words around here - reosarevok]

@arsh331

(arsh) Last week I was working on the artist search feature for my project
It was a fruitful week as I was able to complete most of it
Right now I am working on resolving some bugs for the same and will be making a PR for it soon
That took up most of the time for me

@vardansaini

(vscode_) I have been working on tests and some improvements in Apple Music integration!
I think Lucifer reviewed the PR since ricksucks is sick not sure! Let me know if any improvements are needed

@ShivamAwasthi

Last week I finished working on Admin Logs for the Administration system
Also started working on Relationship type editor.

Absent (and hadn’t told anyone they were on holiday): apekattquest (1), riksucks (2), pratha-fish (1)
