Reviews

@mr_monkey

[monkey] Last week I worked on fixing some issues with playlists in LB, both for exporting playlists as well as improving monitoring for our generated recommendation playlists
I started working on the year in music page
Fixed a couple of things with atom feeds
Which are now deployed
And did a bunch of community outreach / forum discussions
And the usual PR reviews, ticket triage, etc.
Also fixes a couple of easy bugs.

@bitmap

I was mostly working on MBS-4501 last week, made significant progress on the edit classes and wrote some missing triggers to ensure data integrity
[MBS-4501: Alternative tracklists]
there is still quite a bit of work left to be done though (more than I expected)
other than that I mostly did code review, some pgbouncer maintenance, and helped mitigate some issues with account spam over the weekend…

@lucifer

last week, i worked on phase 2 of oauth stuff.
had a meeting with yvanzo on Solr search stuff.
and worked on couple of misc LB bug fixes.

@anshgoyal31

[ansh] Last week, I was mostly busy with exams, so couldn’t do much.
I continued my work on genre-explorer. And added sorting to playlists page.
And reviewed some PRs.

@zas

Last week I had a meeting with yvanzo & reo about metrics/prometheus for docker/solr
I worked with monkey on new metrics for LB playlists, configured and deployed the parser and modified/added new panels/alerts
Over the weekend, I investigated the account/spam issue on MB (thanks to bitmap & reo, fixes are coming)
plus usual supervision, system upgrades, user support, PR reviews, and MB edits.

@aerozol

Heya! I mainly did some more work on the LB YIM graphics for this year
Hope people like them, they are very goofy : D
Otherwise just a bit of monitoring socials

@julian45

i was at a conference for my day job all of last week so i unfortunately did not get much MeB work done…
BUT! i should have more free time this week, with which i plan to look at a couple of ansible things zas highlighted for me last week, as well as work on the PoC for the static blog that i volunteered, and write up some further infra proposals

@jasjeet

[jasje] Last week LB had loads of contributions
We got 3 new people contributing to LB Android!!
I was mainly reviewing their PRs and guiding them to this channel
But got in some minor improvements
Dedicatedly working towards stablity atm rather than adding new things
Unless someone likes to do new stuff

@yvanzo

Last week, reosarevok and I had this meeting with zas he mentioned above.
It was more specifically about using Prometheus/Grafana for testing search indexer performances.
Plus I did a few MBS PR reviews, a bit of support, and that’s about it for last week.
Aside from that, I will be mostly off for the two weeks after the current one.

@shreyassp002

[Shreyas] Hi, So last week I was having exams so I was not able to contribute much but I opened a PR yesterday fixing minor Ui bugs Got in touch with jasje:
for changing the behaviour of the mini music player

@rob

[mayhem] Last week was a minimal week mon - thursday, but friday I caught up on things and reviewed some PRs.
there was a lot of good food, boozy drinks and a good atomsphere at the xmas markets. quite good!

@reosarevok

Last week I spent more time looking at the monitoring tools for mb-docker
Updating deps, releasing the server, stuff like that
Plus fixing classical music messes, sending friendly emails and trying to avoid to give holiday bans

@outsidecontext

I looked into the needed work for using the new MeB oauth with Picard and prepared some changes. lucifer helped me understand the current state. Before we release a Picard version supporting this the new oauth needs to advance a bit with final endpoints, so I put this aside for now and will continue with new plugin system
apart from that I looked into tickets and did some forum support

@derat

[mailed in] I spent a little bit more time working on support for merging recordings in yambs.
I added a flag that can be passed to specify how recordings in different positions across releases should be merged, but it’s pretty painful to use and I need to think more about whether I should try to automate this more (or whether it’s even worth exposing this through the web interface in the first place).
I also got confused by an edit-release-label ModBot message and sent a tiny string change so I’ll hopefully be less confused next time (MBS-13854). :- )
[MBS-13854: Reword release label edit failure message to make it more clear]

Next meeting

@reosarevok

It’s the holidays soon, and we often skip meetings this time of year
Should we do the same this time? Meet Jan 6?

It is agreed we will meet again on Jan 6th.
