@ApeKattQuest_MonkeyPython

[mailed in] Been a while! I travelled to Indonesia for the holidays! I came back on the 11th, but by last monday I had come down with a cold, lmao, isn’t it typical?
So this week I recuperated, set up stuff for the new year, (in that effect, Monkey, get back to me re regular meetings pls.) and prepared a plan for the next 2-3 weeks.
I’m doing a bit of translations and looking into gopichan, hoping to finish that this week.
Tomorrow I have an Important Meeting™ (hopefully it’s going to be REALLY good news :DD)

@mr_monkey

Last week I finished working on Opengraph meta tags for the artist and album pages in LB
Along with some small modifications from the MB team regarding indexing links, I believe that resolves a question we had about SEO and LB being a single-page-apps
Also worked on debugging a PR adding back an Inserted_at field in listens exports
Continued and finished some improvements to the atom feeds that users reported after initial launch
Did a lot of PR reviewing last week, and this week is shaping up similarly
Also helped onboard new users
That’s the broad strokes.

@bitmap

last week I primarily did code review, fixed some test failures in #3442 and #3443, plus worked on MBS-13901, MBS-13903
[Reuse server strings when possible in stats #3442]
[MBS-13876: Send verification emails through new mail service #3433]
[MBS-13901: Expose collection description via the API]
[MBS-13903: Lookup CD: Existant DiscID loop]
other than that I worked more on resolving issues in my github actions PR, #3430
[Migrate tests to GitHub Actions #3430]
and added a basic entity count dashboard to reosarevok’s grafana PR which he expanded on

@zas

Last week, I investigated and fixed an issue related to abusing use of MB website by some bots on Alibaba cloud
Also looked into new DNS providers in order to move away from Gandi which has ever-increasing prices on .org domains (we have 15 of those)
Plus Picard Website improvements and deployment
And the usual stuff, Picard PRs reviews, user support, sys upgrades, etc.
Also I added ncdu as default package to all servers (we used to install it manually)

@anshgoyal31

[ansh] I continued working on creating a cover art for playlists and reviewed couple of PRs.
I was mostly traveling last week, so couldn’t do much.

@lucifer

last week, i was busy attending some family functions and also got sick for a few days so didn’t get much done. looked into a couple of disk space issues on the spark cluster and some work on incrementalizing popularity data generation.

@rob

[mayhem] last week was more accounting follow up, contractor contractors – only two left on that front.
also PR review, emails and more work on dealing with cron – there was one pesky job failing that I just got a clue on, so that is really promising.
today I updated funding.json with better asks and the finances for last year.
I deployed metabrainz.org a couple of times with font updates and other updates here and there.
productive week overall!

@aerozol

Comms, some tickets, some accessibility “discussion”

@yvanzo

Last Tuesday, bitmap, lucifer, reosarevok and I had a meeting about MusicBrainz search development.
Then I made progress with starting Solr 9.7.0 in SolrCloud mode for mirrors.

@julian45

spent some time recovering from surgery (so far so good), some other time drafting infra proposals (still in progress) and poking at ansible

@shreyassp002

[Shreyas] Last week, I was down with fever and a cold, so I couldn’t get much work done.
However, I’ve started working again today and am currently focused on completing my last remaining PR #518
[MOBILE-212: Highlight current playing song & dynamic PlayButton #518]

@jasjeet

[jasje] Last week was very busy + had to attend some weddings
Did a few pr reviews
But overall, progress is staying consistent

@Gautam_coder

[Gautam Shorewala] Currently I am having my exams so nothing much from my side
Looked into bugs in LB
And also thinking what things we can add in LB

@kellnerd

I don’t have much to report as I’m still busy with non-MeB stuff.
I’ve only made a bit of progress with the Harmony provider test framework by using it for the Bandcamp provider.

@reosarevok

This week I implemented filtering for label release lists, which had been asked for a few times
Plus a fair amount of other smaller tickets, and reading older PRs for merging
And worked with bitmap a bit on monitoring for mb-docker
And the usual banning people and whatnot

absent: outsidecontext (1), atj (3, removed from regulars, for now)
