Timezones are weird._ ## Reviews > [@ApeKattQuest\_MonkeyPython](#): > > [mailed in] [ApeKattQuest] rl continues to screw me over, watch this space for hopefully a huge dose of instruments once i _finally_ manage to get all that jazz done > [@outsidecontext](#): > > Not much really. Had been away over the long weekend. Otherwise forum and ticket answering > But the good news is that all that traveling and being busy is over now. Will have more time again till end of year > [@anshgoyal31](#): > > [ansh] Last week, I focused on implementing caching for cover arts in LB using IndexedDB. > Additionally, I am currently working on integrating user flairs throughout the website. > And, I have also made improvements to the Brainzplayer Track Searches. > [@mr\_monkey](#): > > [monkey] Last week I helped mayhem with a funding application [link] > Fixed a bug and made a small improvement to the artist pages on LB > Helped lucifer with a UI for the new LastFM importer > Worked on flairs (CSS effects) > And made a proof of concept for embedable HTML widgets [[link](https://test.listenbrainz.org/user/mr_monkey/embed/pin)] > Fixed the test API which was down, looked into finalizing it > And a bunch of reviewing PRs, ticket triage, etc. > [@yvanzo](#): > > Last half week, I mostly worked on moving services from 3 other old servers (hip, paco, and trille) to another new 1 (yamaoka) set up by zas. > Also fixed our Exim deployment, updated backup source locations, and did some other maintenance tasks… > [@mayhem](#): > > last week I had a lot of emails to handle after sending out invoices and the like. > once that finally died down, I got down to creating the funding.json file, which I think is a really great concept, so I wanted to support it. > and, I finally picked up working on Troi and LB Local, since I’m in dire need of new insights of my own music collection. > chatted a bit with monkey about this and I need to do it right, which means more work and creating user accounts and all that. > but, I got playback to work in the web page,using howler.js – the streaming and playback part are super easy, all I had to do was the UI. Good fun. > today we had our first LB team meeting on Zoom, to try and be a bit more coordinated, at least once a month. > good start, maybe next month we’ll have everyone there. > [@lucifer](#): > > last week, i worked on fixing some bugs in the last.fm importer discovered after the initial release. > other than that, i worked on finalizing oauth stuff and upgrading a couple of dependencies in lb. that’s it for me. > [@zas](#): > > Last week, I set up another new server, and retired one over the three it replaces > I spent some time optimizing the weights, tuning alerts, and other minor things accordingly > Plus usual bug triage, system upgrades and minor admin tasks. I was traveling end of the week. > [@bitmap](#): > > last week I spent time moving our tests to github actions. that was prompted by our selenium tests starting to persistently fail again, and looking for a more stable environment for them. hoping to get all of our tests passing again early this week > the plan is to eventually move all of MB’s jobs to GHA so we can retire jenkins and also move away from circleci, having everything in one place > I also continued working on the edit classes for alternative tracklists (before I got sidetracked by the above), submitted some gateway configs for the funding.json stuff, and did code review > [@reosarevok](#): > > The biggest things I worked on this week have been MBS-13804, MBS-13801, MBS-13564, MBS-13781 and MBS-9885 > [[MBS-13804: Modify the display of review links in the sidebar](https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MBS-13804)] > [[MBS-13801: Tag list/cloud gives false numbers because of limiting](https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MBS-13801)] > [[MBS-13564: ISE trying to change locale of primary alias if one exists with new locale](https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MBS-13564)] > [[MBS-13781: Support browsing genres by collection in the API](https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MBS-13781)] > [[MBS-9885: Prevent setting end date for fictional character artist](https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MBS-9885)] > Not necessarily in this order > Plus updating some dependencies and whatnot > And of course, the usual community and support : ) > [@atj](#): > > Last week I spent some time doing a bit of housekeeping on some of the Ansible roles - mainly lint fixes and adding new versions of Ansible and Ubuntu to the test matrices. > Also looked at fixing some deprecation warnings in our Ansible playbook. > [@kellnerd](#): > > Last week I finished the website bits of the BB importer project (for now). > Pending entities of all types can now be viewed, approved and discarded via the regular entity display pages (which only show different actions in the footer for them). > And the best: They can also be edited just like regular entities, only on submission they get approved behind the scenes (initial revision), all changes by the user are stored as a separate revision already 🎉 > With all of this working, I could finally delete a whole bunch of now unused code and open a triple of PRs today. > I’ve also filled out Google’s final submission form since the deadline is today. > It includes a link to the (yet empty) blog post that I still have to finish writing, I’ve mostly collected and written notes so far 😅 > [@aerozol](#): > > Since we published the blog post I’ve finally moved on to other things. I have quite a lot of ‘DO ASAP’ things from the summit… whoever nudges me about their stuff will get it done first, so feel free. > Currently I’m working on a draft of an updated ListenBrainz homepage to show mayhem and monkey soon (hopefully) > Otherwise the usual stuff absent: rimskii (2), akshaaatt (2), jasje (1), derat (1)
