[mailed in] Just the usual last week.
I’ve been keeping an eye on the socials for a while now and am comfortable - it would now take a negligible amount of my time to cross-post to and keep an eye on one or many alternatives to twitter (note: not channels like Tik-Tok or Instagram, which do better with unique content). Something for you all to ponder, I may raise it as a future meeting topic soon.

[mailed in] Hi! I’m currently in Spain, either waiting to board or on a plane, since my brother decided to get married. Thanks yvanzo for covering for me!
Last week I worked on more URL tickets (including autoselects for our new ticketing page relationship), I had meetings with Pratha-Fish and the MBS team, and I spent a lot of time dealing with vandals and spammers.
I’ll be in Spain for the whole week, although I’ll still keep an eye on emails and possibly also work on code a bit. I’ll also have to miss the next meeting, so I’ll see you all in two weeks.

[arsh] Last week I was finally able to integrate my project in the LB codebase
Had to do a few changes based on the reviews but everything is working fine now
I am just left with the MusicBrainz integration for my project and will be finishing it up by tomorrow

[monkey]Last week I finally had enough of our flaky deprecated testing framework (Enzyme) and decided to take the bull by the horns and start migrating to one that actually supports React 16+ (React Testing Library).
It went quite well at first, installing and converting one test file went pretty smoothly. I’m looking forward to using the better testing style it provides
However I’m hitting some more random failures and issues with Enzyme, having had to update our test runner Jest as well. Will figure out this week how to move forward on that front, but it might just require converting some more test files now rather than in follow-up PRs.
Apart from that, I worked on reviewing GSoC projects, as some of them are drawing to a close.
I also putzed around on some small LB design tickets and as usual reviewed some PRs

last week was mainly about getting Picard 2.9.1 out, a very needed dot release as 2.9.0 was having more issues we expected [forum post]
I also upgraded discourse and enabled sidebar navigation as per poll wish (we reach 3.2beta)
plus usual upgrades, supervision, minor stability fixes.

Last week I reviewed a fair amount of pull requests, thanks to derat for his many contributions!
Finally opened our Weblate instance for some real tests by translators.
Feel free to join the party! All your translation work will be saved, it might just not be used immediately.
At least MusicBrainz Server is using it for updating its UI translations in beta at the moment.
Oh, and MusicBrainz Picard user guide is using it too.
To get started: Making sure you're not a bot!
An official blog post will be published once other projects are using it too and any blocking issue resolved.
Also worked further on the cover art edit display issue and captcha replacement.
Plus some maintenance, support, and tickets triage.

last week I worked on finishing up the RelationshipType Editor PR. I ran into some errors on the test side, which monkey helped me to fix.
I also worked on IdentifierType Editor and Identifier Types page. I’ve made a PR for it, and it has already received its first round of reviews.
hopefully I will be able to wrap it up this week.

I have been reviewing PRs as usual
Also, the feed update went live a few days back and personally, it’s been superb for me!
Discovered a lot of new songs already
That’s pretty much it for me. Do give the updated app a try!!

[jasje] last week i refactored remote players to make the resuable throughout the app.
A lot of brainpower went into that
spotify remote player was outdated in our app so fixed it as well
I’ve been researching more and more on locks and concurrency handling for Listen scrobble service.
its going well but its taking toll on my proj as well
also prepared dialogs just like website in app.
