Reviews

@aerozol

[mailed in] A vet emergency (but nothing disastrous) and some HDD failures (but nothing disastrous) led to the first week in a very long time where I barely popped in to look at my MeB tasks : (

@rob

[mailed in] [mayhem] Last week was a fairly normal week with the usual MetaBrainz work.
I also made some significant progress on the new mapper, reviewed PRs for
both junaid and lucifer.
I learned how to make some changes to the new DNS system. Dealt with stupid insurance renewal issues.

@derat

[mailed in] I’ve been using my bot to remove around 8k dead lyric.evesta.jp URLs for MBBE-96. The final batch of edits should go in tomorrow.
[MBBE-96: Drop lyric.evesta.jp lyrics links]
I also started looking at MBS-6559, about adding a way to get the oldest official release date for a release group. I suspect it’d require modifying the release_first_release_date materialized table or adding a new table, though, and I don’t have any experience with MB schema changes. :-/
[MBS-6559: Change originaldate to exclude Promo/Bootleg releases]

@yvanzo

Last week I did solely bring support to MusicBrainz mirror users.

@hemang-mishra

[Hemang Mishra] Last week I mostly worked on the Ui of onboarding screens
Weekends were busy because I had to travel to Mumbai
Along with that I started researching on Listening app selection process Trying to find workaround so that process of searching listening apps can be made more fluid without requiring the QueryAllPackagess permission from user

@mr_monkey

[monkey] Last week I fixed the few styling issues that we missed during the Bootstrap 3>5 migration.
Had a video chat with ansh to talk about the next couple of months’ worth of work
Reviewed PRs for LB and BB
Continued working on BookBrainz guidelines
And finally read up on some advanced HTMX patterns. I used it briefly a month or two ago for LB widgets and quite liked it. Now with more knowledge we’ll see if it comes in handy in other situations
And finally finally, started working on refactoring our LESS codebase (the CSS preprocessor) to using SASS instead. Continued on that today, should ultimately remove a bunch of duplicate or unused CSS code from our prod packages

@suvid

I worked on the first phase of my GSoC project last week
Raised a PR
Created the API endpoint with some checks as well
Yet to explore the testing part and write the tests
Still figuring out the background task part and figuring how to use the existing models for import process

@anshgoyal31

[ansh] Last week, I worked on improving the response times of LB APIs and evaluated multiple strategies.
Discussed with monkey on the work that needs to be done in the coming months
Looked on improving the re rendering issues.
Also, synced with holycow23 on his project status.

@ApeKattQuest_MonkeyPython

[MonkeyPython] Closed INST-972
[INST-972: tuntuna]
working slowly on the work page!
had a doctors appoint,
and also it seems I managed to end up sort of arranging a summer-drawing event (both sfw and nsfw) of Lupin artists!
otherwise keeping ontop of things, made a JIRA ticket for a reported issue on community.
working on a reply on #27 to monkey and reo as we speak.

@lucifer

Hi all! Last week I helped out various gsoc students on their projects. And also did some work on MeB Oauth and further improvements to Lb sample dumps.

@reosarevok

So, last week I dealt with all the tickets that had accumulated during my holiday
Including a fair amount of area requests (mostly for Argentina)
I also worked on MBS-14053 to add missing ended flags to the API
[MBS-14053: Add “ended” flag to aliases in XML API]
And on MBS-14048 to deal with invalid notes better in the relationship editor
[MBS-14048: Check for invalid edit note before submission in relationship editor]
(and dealt with a bunch of smaller tickets)

@bitmap

last week I continued working on the tickets MBS-11889 and MBS-11521
[MBS-11889: Refactor state handling in the external links editor]
[MBS-11521: Refactor error handling in the external links editor]
pushed a bunch of updates to [pull 3489] which is finally passing
[Update Flow to 0.262.0 #3489]
and worked on upgrading all of the search dependencies in the MBS tests Dockerfile and did some code review

@JadedBlueEyes

[jade] Last week, I moved back from Uni as the thing that took up the most time haha
Also went to the dentist today, my mouth is still numb
Code wise, I’ve got docker images built and deployed for libretto, as well as CI checks running
And I’ve worked out a functional strategy for getting events + timeline into a postgres database (kind of counterintuitive)
Oh, I’ve also been told that I’m going to the cotsworlds on holiday next week!

@holycow23

Over the past week, I got Spark set up locally with lucifer’s help — really appreciate the support!
I started querying the TimescaleDB to test the generation of user statistics and also went through the Parquet files from the ListenBrainz data dump to understand the file formats and structure better.
I completed the final touches on the stats mockup and have shared it for review.
Had a quick call withn ansh to keep up with the status of my project.

@m.amanullah7

[mamanullah7] This week all about family and festivals
Last week I’ve implemented OAuth2 as well as added api endpoints
Mostly worked on backend and discussed some errors with lucifer and made some changes in OAuth2 implementation!

@julian45

last week i broadened the SSO pilot, did some software and server updates to the sso server
this week, considering expansion of SSO to more users as they’re available (low-effort) and if we can get enough folks, working towards cutting over a major service like sentry
also met with jade re: libretto last week, will do code review & collaborate as appropriate

@_Junaid

[fettuccinae] Last week ive worked on adding the remaining endpoints for my project and added few tests for them.
This week i’ll work on adding authorization for these endpoints and also work on adding cron jobs.

@jasjeet

[jasje] [late] Heavily busy with work until 23rd june
Got some time to review PRs

absent: outsidecontext (1), kellnerd (1), zas (1), gautam_coder (1)
