Reviews

@reosarevok: I have four people who wanted to weasel away from saying happy birthday and sent early reviews

@bitmap

[mailed in] Last week I continued with schema change testing and helping with search-related changes for it.
Testing did show one minor issue with the upgrade script that is now resolved: MBS-14014.
[MBS-14014: cover_art_archive.index_listing is missing all filesize columns in production]

@anshgoyal31

[mailed in] [ansh] Last week, I was mostly catching up on work.
I attended the LB Meeting where we discussed the next things we have to focus on.
Other than that, I’m in the middle of my semester exams, so I couldn’t work much.

@derat

[mailed in] I ran my bot to rewrite threads.net URLs to threads.com for MBBE-94.
[MBBE-94: Migrate threads.net links to threads.com]
I also updated yambs to support adding releases from metal-archives.com instead of just people and bands (and then I sent email asking them to unblock yambs, since they’re apparently plagued by bots and scrapers too). :-/

@aerozol

[mailed in] More of the usual. But of a wild political situation in NZ at the moment that has been exhausting. Hard times around the world, it seems

@reosarevok

Last week I mostly worked on finishing and testing SIR / search updates for the schema change release
Other than that, today I added slipcase for packaging, which people seemed to really want
And dealt with the usual banning, helping and username-changing

@ApeKattQuest_MonkeyPython

[LupinIII] FINALLY, actually closed an instrument ticket INST-977
[INST-977: Improve ektara/gopichan]
as for bookbrainz, Working on.. Work 's now : D
for Musicbrainz, thumbi (another indian instrument)
This week is: My Country’s National Holiday (17th May)
Eurovision! (also 17th May)
the Zine’s deadline (15th may)
lots of other junk (spanish (15th), fixing messed up bank junk (14th))
I’ll be tired on the 18th : D

@yvanzo

Since last Thursday, I finalized making and using Solr 9 backups for MB mirrors.
Currently in the process of releasing each component for SIR 4 and MB Solr 4.
Next step will be to include schema change related (and any other) patches.

@mr_monkey

[monkey] Last week I was mostly working on the LB Bootstrap5 migration, going over eeeeverything with a fine-toothed comb. Finished that up today and we are ready for review, then beta phase
I also reviewed PRs
Had an LB team chat, not a lot to report as this seems to be a month of technical work and refactorings.
And finally, continued efforts to migrate to Ttypescript 5, as I ran into some adjacent compiling issues while working on BS5

@JadedBlueEyes

[jade] I’ve been flooded in exams, three last week, one today and tomorrow and weds as well

@kellnerd

Last week I silently dropped the Harmony update to update an existing release’s external links.
No feedback or complaints about that one so far, so I assume it must be working as expected
And I got excited about the beta release of PostgreSQL 18 which includes support for generating UUID v7 (time-sortable and random) which I’ve been kinda waiting for for a personal project.
(Maybe it will be open source one day.)

@zas

Last week, I fixed an issue with nagios and SSL LE cert checks
Upgraded grafana
I also deployed renewed certs on various services
Plus usual PR reviews, Picard stuff, user support (mainly unblocking IPs)
System upgrades + MB edits.

@_Junaid

[fettuccinae] last week ive worked on import status for lastfm importer
and started working on my gsoc project
this week ill add a few endpoints for notifications

@julian45

this past week, i worked our SSO testers to do some further testing of one of our important use cases (google workspace). it worked well!
next steps will be to test some more use cases, perhaps refine some config options, then consider expanding testing to more users
besides SSO, i also did some upkeep around our DNS infra, namely the code & github actions we use to manage records changes

@outsidecontext

Not much really. For Picard only little code review and some translation maintenance. Also some minor maintenance for my libdiscid bindings for ruby and go.
But as I expected last week I start having more time again. I have a couple of Picard code changes I started and will open PRs for soon.

@lucifer

last week, i helped in preparing some changes for mb search in the upcoming schema change release. diagnosed a couple of downtimes in LB and one in MeB.
refactored the listen similarity data calculation and fixed a couple of small bugs in LB.
also migrated projects from sentry.meb.org to sentry cloud.

@rob

[mayhem] last week was packed for me! loads on!
I finished off our taxes and filed them today. Done! Earliest ever!
Also followed up with lawyers/accountants in belgium to see if we could possibly move the foundation to the EU.
we’re going to engage these lawyers to do a study for our case to see if it can work
I “wrote” the welcome post for our gsoc students and started working on summit stuffs: lodgings, visa letters, etc.
more on lodging in a separate topic.
the was the LB chat, some work on faster-fuzzy and the first backup of the CAA for the 500px sized images is complete.
to do a full backup of all the images, I will need much more space.
and there was even more, but that is escaping me now.

@jasjeet

[jasje] Nothing much from my side, too much stuff going on my job that i got very little time to breathe

Summit shirt

Go get shirt done, @mr_monkey!

Summit lodgings

@rob

[mayhem] I booked two of the XL apartments in the same place we were in last time.
a max of 14 people, so it should hold all of us.
I have reserved from 13 sept to 20 sept.
this gives people up to two days to arrive and get used to jetlag, etc.
but, I wanted to make it clear that we need to be out of the flats on SATURDAY.
if you’re planning to attend Merce here in barcelona, this may be impacted by that.
we could, perhaps extend one flat by one night.
think about it and get back to me with thoughts if you have any. unless I hear back, this will be our lodging plan.
