Reviews

@Gautam_coder

[GautamShorewala] Last week worked on my gsoc proposal
Also worked on the huesound feature in in LB Android

@kellnerd

Last week I did some final polishing and wrote a bit of documentation for the Harmony provider tests.
There’s still work to do, but I’ve had enough of it for now, so I will call it a day with this PR : )
Would love to have a second opinion before I merge if anyone can be bothered.

@anshgoyal31

[ansh] Last week, I mainly focused on upgrading Bootstrap in LB
I spent a lot of time reviewing and testing PRs.

@mr_monkey

[monkey] Last week I worked on finishing the mobile UI for LB, and refactoring other BrainzPlayer code
I thoroughly reviewed the Bootstrap4 migration PRs in progress
(tried to) fix an issue with DOMPurify after an update, but apparently that’s still broken in the version I deployed today, so stay tuned…
Did a lot of PR reviewing, and welcomed and guided prospective GSOC participants
Had a meeting with the LB team

@ApeKattQuest_MonkeyPython

[Jigen] Today is St Patric’ Day!
Work on the TOC goes well, I’ve done quite a lot!
[Add layout from table of contents document #22]
still keeping busy with spanish and other things

@reosarevok

Last week I was looking at our possible schema change tickets
I also added missing documentation for label types, updated a few PRs with some ugly UX components and bothered people with some taste to make them less hideous…
And dealt with some smaller tickets and some code review, plus the usual

@jasjeet

[jasje] Last week was PR reviews
Went into minor UX and UI details while for PR reviews
Practice for me to post video recordings of anything broken
So we push quality✨
Apart from that fixed contributor prs

@rob

[mayhem] last week was ramping up GSoC work and loads and loads of hacking on the new MBID mapper.
we failed to hold a board meeting, because I didn’t notice the US had already changed timezone, so it split the meeting. oops.
the meeting wasn’t important, so we’ll just skip it.
but, it was a lovely week coding. lots of coding, even if it is 3 steps forward 8 steps back.

@outsidecontext

last week was rather active. quite some code reviews and bugfixes. Also I have been cleaning up Picard tickets.
I’m especially excited about stevilknevil having started to contribute to picard and open a couple of PRs. Currently working on a great enhancements to copy and paste of metadata!

@bitmap

last week I did a bunch of code review and submitted a couple PRs for MBS-12170 and MBS-12826
[MBS-12170: Add artist country in release webservice calls]
[MBS-12826: Anything that would reorder large release series causes timeouts]
also spent time reducing the # of website/webservice workers to lower memory usage and prevent OOM kills that were occurring
then I had to increase the website ones again slightly because we got a huge increase in traffic from some botnet, which zas has been working tirelessly to control
other than that I looked into schema change tickets, which we should have an announcement blog post for today or tomorrow -
[schema change tickets]
oh, was also learning more Rust over the weekend since we have more projects using that now

@zas

Last week, I transferred our first (experimental) domain from Gandi to Porkbun, detected some issues I’ll work on this week
Also worked on controlling unexpected traffic on some of our websites (as bitmap said)
I also did some important Picard code refactoring, and Picard PRs reviews
I also fixed an issue with Spark servers setup related to RADI1/RAID0 setup, managed to fix it without reinstalling, I love linux ; )
plus usual supervision, minor tasks, sys upgrades, etc.

@julian45

last week i made some comments on a GSoC (pre-)proposal and worked on bootstrapping first candidate for SSO software
tester group has accounts, next step is to test integrations with service providers, which i hope to do this week
also mitigated a sudden high vulnerability related to a GitHub action we use for some repos

@lucifer

Last week I fixed various issues in the spark, edge cases related to stats generation, missing popularity data and tried to process the MLHD+ data on it.
Also, looked into a lb downtime issues over the weekend.
And did some work on adding openid connect to meb oauth provider.

@derat

Last week, I finally started working on MBS-13711, specifically around ETI. It remains to be seen whether it’ll have too many annoying false positives. (Maybe I should make it only check beginner editors’ work, at least to start with?)
[MBS-13711: Prompt beginner users about likely capitalization mistakes]
While working on that, I ran into an apparent templating bug around documentation URLs that contain fragments, so I spent a bit of time investigating it and filed MBS-13967. I’ll send a fix soon.
[MBS-13967: URL fragments are escaped by doc_link TT macro]

MusicBrainz schema change

@reosarevok

The only other topic is the MB schema change, which is just to say: we’ll have one, it will be small as usually recently, and we’ll try to announce today and have it in two months
So, May 19
(worst case we’ll announce tomorrow, which is still fine : ) )
As bitmap mentioned, the list of stuff we plan on doing is [link to tickets] (half of which is already in the works)
