Reviews

@mr_monkey

[mailed in] [monkey] Pretty short week for me, I worked on finishing and deploying a fix for author credits on BB. I looked into some more improvements for search indexing, and deployed the previous improvements.
Reviewed some PRs and did some dependency updates and CI workflow cleanup.
On ListenBrainz I also did PR reviews and worked on some BrainzPlayer design improvements for mobile with ansh, plush a few small tickets and fixes.

@ercd

[mailed in] [ericd] I started using jinja2 html templates for feed generation, moving away from ad-hoc string formatting. Next week I will started implementing stats feeds, which might be more complex than previous ones!

@bitmap

we finally released the Event Art Archive to production
aerozol wrote an awesome blog post for it. prior to posting that, I helped write some missing EAA API docs, and reviewed the rest reosarevok helped write
other than that I mostly did code review and fixed some misc. MBS bugs in production

@yvanzo

I released the MB Docker update (related to the EAA) and participated in updating the EAA docs.
I also updated the diagrams in the MB DB Schema documentation.
Added type name as translation comment to all the type descriptions in the MB DB.
Kept happily mentoring yellowhatpro with bitmap!
Updated beta a couple of times, triaged tickets, maintenance, support…

@zas

I continued on cleaning up Grafana obsolete dashboards & graphs
I also mentored twodoorcoupe and reviewed its (very good) PRs
plus usual stuff, system supervision, upgrades, user support, Picard support, MB edits.

@reosarevok

I worked on some EAA docs, plus added further EAA stats
I also worked on translations, found some bugs related to that and fixed them, and started working on splitting our translations into more components so that it’s more clear what they contain
And a few other smaller bugfixes
Plus the usual support and community

@rob

[mayhem] last week was pretty slow due to having covid.
but I did the usual stuff to keep the org running, which has been taking quite some time, these days.
and today was accounting hell and paying people… speaking of which, ansh please submit your invoice soon.
hopefully this week will be more productive.

@kellnerd

Last week I finalized my two PRs to unify the BB entity validators and to use them for the importer project.
Then I created type definitions for OpenLibrary’s JSON schema with which I already spotted some inconsistencies in the OL parser.
Over the weekend I wrote a MusicBrainz provider for Harmony which will also help with duplicate detection and suggesting artist and label links which are missing on MB.
Also took the opportunity to try adding type definitions for the search API to my MB client and found a few API inconsistencies which I discussed with bitmap.

@ansh

I spent time on creating a new Music Player UI for BrainzPlayer web. Had some discussions with monkey and aerozol regarding that too.
Other than that spent some time on writing tests for User Stats page, and spark to generate more stats.
And spent time reviewing PRs

@kubrimskii

[rimskii] I was mostly working with labs api
finally could add all endpoints for Apple Music
also added new database for metadata index and pulled the PR
now Im working on integrating soundcloud, so far no issues
I also noticed the ticket LB-1599 with some issue related to exporting to Spotify and think it might be related to my recent commit
[LB-1599: Weekly Mix export to Spotify fails (description too long)]
so working on solving it

@lucifer

I mostly worked on building the soundcloud metadata cache. did some misc debugging and summit prep. also, tested and worked on getting rimskii 's apple metadata cache PR ready.

@Ashutosh_Aswal

[yellowhatpro] Last week was mostly refactoring and improving polling and notifier logics
Improved docs, added tests.
Also had to travel to a diff city, so couldn’t do much

@JadedBlueEyes

[Jade] It’s not been the most productive week for me sadly, with sorting out renting for next year and some other stuff taking up time
However I’ve been working some more on upstreaming the mrml patch
And I’ve been carrying on working on the messageformat crate
Otherwise generally keeping up to date on small tasks

@twodoorcoupe

more cover art resizing options for Picard like cropping to square were merged
I also added the option to convert cover art to other image formats
then I started working on improving the processing options page ui thank to the huge help of aerozol and Bob Swift

@pranavkonidena

[pranav] The first phase of user pages got merged
Kudos to aerozol for the amazing designs as always
Now am working on stats tab and tastes tab … stats will take a while but tastes is almost done
Then have to start working on the artist pages

@theflash

[theflash_] I was mostly working on enhancing the feed section
just few more fixes and additions, then we are gtg with the feed revamp, yay
excited to pick up dashboard after that
opened a pr recently for feed changes

@yvanzo

No review from aerozol but I can mention that he spent a lot of time at making video tutorials on top of the EAA blog post. Kudos!

@jasjeet

[jasje] picked up a 5 month old forgotten pr : P
