Reviews

@aerozol

[mailed in] Just the usual! Getting a bit bloody cold here.

@yvanzo

[mailed in] Early last week, I debugged loading MB Solr backups and reviewed bitmap’s second patch for CI tests.
I was and still am off from Wednesday 30th April to Wednesday 7th May.

@derat

[mailed in] I added/updated documentation bubbles for the recording, release group, series, and work forms and fixed a small CSS issue that was giving some bubbles excessively-large top margins.
I also made a few more minor yambs changes to improve podcast support and updated my MB bot to rewrite threads.net URLs to threads.com (I’m holding off on running it until the corresponding MBS changes have made it to prod).

@julian45

[mailed in] this past week, i was able to make some substantial steps forward with SSO testing, and bitmap confirmed that one of our important integrations (google workspace) worked! : )
this week, i plan to expand testing to more (willing) users, as well as make incremental improvements such as improving sign-in flow and testing with more service providers.

@ApeKattQuest_MonkeyPython

[LupinIII] Last 2 weeks I̵ ̵h̵a̵d̵ ̵v̵a̵c̵a̵t̵i̵o̵n̵ ̵a̵n̵d̵ also I have not have vacation because I had to tidy out the entry staircase and cupboard and junk because of firehazard warning
but anyway I finished work on the Author part of the toc, have started on Work
you can also still help suggest examples [forum thread]
I’ve started sp2 part of Spanish! whoooo
other than that I’m working hard on invisible stuff, watch this space for oncoming great things!
Locked-in and worked on work page. after meeting I’ll be working on gopychan ()

@kellnerd

Not much to report from last week, we finally had a few perfectly tempered sunny days and I was AFK.
I’ve at least started refactoring Harmony’s MBID mapping to require less API requests using the “new” MB API feature.
And since there was an MBS release today, I guess I can put out the feature to update an existing releases’s external links (which I had held for about a week).

@anshgoyal31

[ansh] I don’t actually have anything to report. I was not healthy for the past few weeks, so had taken some time off to recover back.
I’ve moved back to my college now, and in between my semester examinations.
Looking to catching up on work quickly

@mr_monkey

[monkey] Last couple of weeks I have been working on the big Bootstrap 3>4>5 migration
Finished and deployed the LB widgets that can be embedded in any website with an iFrame
Soon, buttons on the website to generate the code for those
And the usual PR reviews
I took some time off to go climb mountains in the Pyrenees, so short week for me

@outsidecontext

last week I was still busy with work and private stuff and was lacking behind with code reviews. But I think I managed to fetch up. We had a couple of PRs from new contributors. Thanks also zas for all the reviewing
Good news is that I’ll have more time again starting next week
also I got side tracked a bit with some fixes on my scotty tool

@bitmap

last week I had mostly spent time on updating/reviewing schema change PRs and beta update PRs
I figured out one reason MBS-13966 was still happening, so we did have to update the schema change release notes to mention that we’re fixing another postgres function. it poses no compatibility issues though
[MBS-13966: Calculate first release dates for empty release groups]
now we’re done merging all the schema change PRs, so I’ll be focusing more on testing this week

@rob

[mayhem] last week I spoke with another belgian lawyer who said that we may be able to move without paying taxes – we’ll have to see.
I need to get more info from them.
but overall it was a short week with the blackout and then being out for a long weekend.
I also worked on the new MBID mappper; I wrote a letter to the mother of draunde on our board’s suggestion – I still need to mail that.
I’ve also started backing up the CAA, but as you might imagine, its takes a while to do that. and my script isn’t great, because if it gets stuck it takes hours for it to pick up where it left off. heh. might need some improving.

@zas

I mostly worked on Picard, a lot of refactoring, worked with Bob Swift on new in-app variable documentation
[screenshot]
I transferred another domain to porkbun, I learnt something about Gandi stuff that will make next transfers even smoother
plus usual system upgrades, user support, minor admin tasks.

@reosarevok

I worked on schema change stuff mostly, including updating mbdata and trying to get search stuff set up to understand and use medium MBIDs
Plus the usual

@Gautam_Coder

Last week I was busy with exams and other things so was not able to do anything
This week I will be able to start to contribute again

@lucifer

last week i worked on debugging spark stats because of lots of alerts in our monitoring systems and it turned out it was just mayhem not listening to music for a few days.
[mayhem: so sorry, I was at a festival.] [lots of laugh reacts]
[mayhem: (so I was listening to music)]
other than made some progress on openid support in meb oauth provider.
and reviewed a couple of LB PRs.

Summit T-shirt reminder

@mr_monkey

[monkey] I told mayhem I would re mind you reosarevok about reminding him to remind me to start designing the t-shirt for the summit

@reosarevok

The only point in the agenda is that I should remind mayhem to remind monkey that he needs to work on the summit shirts
