@ercd

[mailed in] [ericd] Last week I implemented the generic syndication feed modal component. Tested on various locations and it works great.

@kubrimskii

[mailed in] [rimskii] Greetings from Uzbekistan!
I’m currently here for a competition and busy working on a project. I’ll be back home on Sunday.
Over the past week, I’ve completed the Apple Music and Soundcloud export PRs. Finished API handler, song lookup and matching. There are just a few tweaks and unit tests left to finalize.
Due to my absence, I’ve coordinated with @lucifer, and we’ve agreed on a two-week extension. I’ll be working with you all a bit longer! : )

@yvanzo

[mailed in] Last week, I reviewed a few MBS PRs
More GSoc mentoring; This week should be about testing deployment.
Investigated MB website response time issues
Plus some support, tickets triage, and small bug fixes

@aerozol

[mailed in] Did a few bits and pieces, nothing exciting enough to share on it’s own
We got hit by a wave of spam on the forums, which I beat reo to sorting out. Thanks to all the users who reported the posts.

@derat

i sent PRs for a few editing UI improvements, MBS-13721 and MBS-13724
[MBS-13721: User pages should have a link to view edits on which I left notes]
[MBS-13724: Add keyboard shortcuts to move between tracks in tracklist editor]
i’m also trying to get my change for MBS-3255 in before the ticket becomes a teenager (it’s going to be close – four days remain!)
[MBS-3255: Add reordering for artist credits]

@CatQuest

[ahvalmissaamine] today I’m at the beach for one of few (and possibly last( days of this decrepit norwegian summer
this week is gonna be great! I’m setting up instrument development so look forward to✨instruments✨ in the near future!!

@rob

[mayhem] I’m in Ifracombe, doing lots of hiking and talking shit, catching up with friends.
I’ve done the usual emails and such. submitted some invoices, etc.
and submitted the Google Play Store verification, which requires a DUNS number.
DUNS = GIANT PAIN IN THE ASS.
but that is finally done, phew.
not much else, will be around sporadically this week.

@mr_monkey

[mmonkey] Last week i mostly worked on a new modal to link all listens from the same album. It’s going swimmingly
Also reviewed PRs for kellnerd 's GSOC project
And did more testing of ansh’s big BrainzPlayer PR

@ansh

Last week, I spent time working on tickets for new stats. I also worked on final review changes for my BrainzPlayer PR.
And I also reviewed monkey 's PRs and fixed some bugs

@lucifer

last week i worked on several improvement on the spark cluster, tested replacing rabbitmq with redis for message queue, incremental stats processing and moving the export data jobs to a background container.
all of these are a WIP currently.

@bitmap

not the funnest week overall, at the start I was trying to debug the Selenium timeout in [MB pull 3351: Selenium/runit fixes] but didn’t have much luck so far
was also spending time trying to mitigate MB website alerts by messing with weights on the gateway, numbers of plackup workers, and deploying a new website container
I experimented with some changes on the MBS side, and will likely be looking at performance improvements to release pages after the release today
the one really cool thing is I deployed Jade’s project on test.mb and was able to receive verification emails. there are some issues to be ironed out but it’s looking very nice
otherwise just did a small amount of code review

@Ashutosh_Aswal

[yellowhatpro] last week was mostly experimenting with monitoring and containerization.
Integrated docker compose configs, added metrics, and configs for dashboard, datasources for grafana
debugged some issues related to sentry and archival not working (it was due to me passing another sentry project through env variables and wondering why logs are appearing on different project)

@reosarevok

I’m on holiday! I forget things! I’m still answering emails and banning evildoers!
Next week I’m back in Belgium and doing proper work. Inasmuch as I do that.

@kellnerd

This week was pretty similar to the previous one, I am still working on the BB schema change related ORM updates (and it is still hot).
Apart from that I almost finished the MB provider for Harmony and the linking of external artists/labels to MB which I had neglected for a month by now.
And a little bit of summit preparation, although not as much as I would have preferred.

@JadedBlueEyes

[Jade] This week hasn’t been that busy for me
I had a long weekend holiday visiting the grandparents up in Devon
And during the week I only did this morning of MB work
bitmap has had a look at my integration with the MB server, and deployed the mail service to test.mb.o!

@theflash

[theflash_] Last week I worked on implementing Stats and refactoring the existing listens section
Now working on the remaining part of the work
and hoping to wrap up by this week or next

@pranavkonidena

[pranav] I was busy with tests and interviews for upcoming summer internships
Finally they are over, and I am glad to announce i secured an internship at Amazon
I have completed the user pages, and most of the unit testing for the same
Now, have to get started with album and artist pages… won’t take much time as they are not big…
After that, writing tests again
Mostly would be able to finish the project within the next 7-10 days
Would love to continue working post gsoc on other stuff as well : )

@zas

Last week I was very badly connected to networks (I went to the lowest density department of France…)
But I managed to do minimal supervision (I postponed fixes though, applied yesterday), PR reviews
I also hard-rebooted marlon server
(which seems fine now)
I investigated without much success the issue bitmap was writing about, we have very slow responses on MB website sometimes, it isn’t very clear yet in which circumstances they appear, we tried various approaches, and I blocked a bunch of abusers, but for now, they persist

@twodoorcoupe

last week I started working on updating Picard’s documentation with the stuff added by my gsoc project
then I also worked on a small ticket regarding adding cover art images from urls

absent: atj (holidays), akshaaatt (1), outsidecontext (1), jasje (2)
