Reviews

@outsidecontext

[mailed in] Not much to say. My day job kept me busy after I had been absent the week before. That left little time for MB. But zas and I discussed a Picard release and plan to do one this week2. 2.

@derat

[mailed in] I filed MBS-13920 and will try to spend some time fixing it later this week, with an eye toward also supporting MBS-13711
[MBS-13920: Make it harder to skip warning about feat. artists in track titles]
[MBS-13711: Prompt beginner users about likely capitalization mistakes]

@aerozol

[mailed in but not delivered to foggyhead error] I’ve come down with a flu or something, apologies.
Nothing of particular note last week.

@mr_monkey

[monkey] 1Last week I did a lot of reviewing PRs
Had conversatioons with ansh and mayhem about potential GSOC projects
I worked with MonkeyPython on revamping the BookBrainz user guide and style guidelines
Also worked on separating user listens from the ListenBrainz feed (new page with streams of listens from users you follow, and similar users) which you can preview at [test site]
And a bunch of ticket triage/creation and sentriage

@yvanzo

Last week, we had two/three meetings about MusicBrainz search development.
Fixed SIR development setup and improved it to allow using Python 3.
Also reviewed collecting metrics for mirror/search performance analysis.
Published a security advisory for MusicBrainz mirrors, after CVE-2025-24814.

@zas

Last week, I ordered 2 new servers in order to replace hendrix/jimmy, in relation to the mainboard issue Hetzner announced.
I also investigated few abuses on our websites, blocked few IPs (and also unblocked few users).
Apart that, usual PRs reviews, MB edits, upgrades, etc.

@kellnerd

Last week I continued working on Harmony provider tests.
Almost everything is working as I want it to now, I only have to think about reducing the amount of testdata which is stored in the repo (for offline tests.)
Then I can actually start to collect meaningful example releases for the tests and commit them.
Other than that a bit of maintenance for my related other open-source projects like MB and LB TS clients.

@anshgoyal31

[ansh] Last week, I had couple of discussions with monkey regarding the GSoC projects for LB.
Also had another discussion on revamping the feed and the dashboard page to make it more personalized.
Did a few POCs for adding react suspense in LB.
Reviewed a couple of PRs, and continued my work on Playlist Pages.

@bitmap

last week I primarily did code review and worked on the Solr/host metrics PRs for musicbrainz-docker. I’ll be adding rabbitmq metrics today and then should be off metrics work other than polishing the current open PRs

@julian45

i meant to do some ansible work on MBH-587 (? i think that’s the right ticket number) this week but was unfortunately unable since i had to do an all nighter and then go into my day job over the weekend : /
[MBH-587: Ansible Telegraf do not support multiple sections of same name]

@jasjeet

[jasje] Last week was fun
Lots of work done last week
ListenBrainz-android 2.8.0 was released
All focus was on stability
And 2.8.1 we’ll have all pesky irritating bugs ironed
Did pr reviews
Added projects for gsoc 25

@Gautam_coder

[Gautam Shorewala] Last week worked on improving ui during orientation change for LB
Also identified few bugs which I am currently working

@shreyassp002

[Shreyas] Last week I was mostly finding bugs and working on the integration of YIM 24
If the implementation of YIM 24 finds me solid I will soon open a PR for that

@hemang-mishra

[Hemang Mishra] Last week I worked on implementing Created For You screen and successfully implemented it. Currently working on design of Playlist screen.

@ApeKattQuest_MonkeyPython

[LupinIII] This week has been awesome!
Worked hard on the table of contents for BookBrainz.
Had Spanish lesson, (lmao)
have also managed to get back into some drawing mojo drawing prompts for “kissbruary” on bsky so that was fun
Will be working hard on continued tasks this week.

@reosarevok

[LupinIII] Last week I tested a bunch of search server monitoring improvements by bitmap, I sent a lot of emails for autoeditor elections (two in one week!)
I worked on small new tickets
I looked at RTD docs ideas and talked about them
And today I talked to the MBS team about GSoC
Plus on the weekend I attended Fosdem, which was interesting though too full of humans (I thought devs were introverts!)
And met lucifer for dinner and devtalks

@lucifer

Last week I attended FOSDEM, met reosarevok. Both being lots of fun. Also looked into debugging the stats that broke after my recent refactor.
That was not so fun.
[yvanzo: You also debugged SIR/Python 3.]
Oh yeah forgot about that one.

@rob

[mayhem] last week was a busy one!
employment contracts, bbc contracts, gsoc application/ideas page, reviewing PRs, rescuing the backup server over the weekend and several meetings to coordinate the docs for musicbrainz.
I’m also spending an alarming amount of time trying to work out how to protect MeB from all the US insanity.
that part is really really getting me down right now.
but, on the brightside, I think I know how to make our typesense index for the LB mapping much more efficient.

Summit Dates

@rob

[mayhem] during the summit we said we would discuss summit dates right about now.
I propose from Sept 15 - Sept 19 in Barcelona.
La Mercè is happening the weekend after, we can all play in the fireworks.
[video on google photos]
who doesn’t want some of that???
ok, so, does this date work for you? think about it and we’ll discuss next week to see if there are objections
