@_Junaid

[fettuccinae] [mailed in] Last week, I worked on adding an endpoint for users to set their notification preference and fixed some old test bugs

@julian45

during summit week and last week i did not end up making much progress on the static site-ification…
BUT i worked with yvanzo to upgrade our jira server to the next LTS track! (10.3.x)
it is now using official docker images from atlassian, which substantially simplifies management vs the prior methods of installing directly to the OS
(atlassian has technically announced EOL for on-premises versions of their apps in a few years, but shhhh, that’s a later problem…)
in addition, during summit week i worked with Jade to get draupnir setup on chatbrainz for moderation purposes

@mr_monkey

[monkey] After a very good summit, I worked on tidying up all the project and discussions we’ve had during said summit.
I started with finishing debugging our big BrainzPlayer PR, and refactoring and redesigning the user signup and sign in pages for the new Metabrainz OAuth pages
Worthy of note, during the summit we set up api.bookbrainz.org
Open in beta and eager for feedback : )

@kellnerd

Last week I’ve mostly been reviewing PRs for my projects.
There is a couple of Harmony improvements by a new contributor, new PRs are still incoming
And jesus2099 reminded me about musicbrainz.eu by adding support for it to my userscripts, so I did the same for my dark theme userstyle.

@ApeKattQuest_MonkeyPython

[MonkeyPython] I had some nice days over where I just had vacation
after that I stressed home, I already miss Barcelona, it was Great meeting and talking with you all!
This week i’ve set up editing bookbrainz and adding instruments. working on that now. I’m also moving along what we agreed with at the summit, reworking the author, work and edition pages slightly
to better fit the database entries
I wrote a proposal for a new relationship - more on that alter this week (hopefully if monkey has time)

@JadedBlueEyes

[Jade] This week was moving back to uni
but I was also doing a bunch of planning and preperation for the music player project!
Including a 96 minute monolouge about the context and motivations that I’m writing up lol
I also set up non-docker binaries for libretto

@rob

[mayhem] last week I did: fuck all.
I got inducted into the EOSA, that’s it.
took the rest of the week off.

@lucifer

Thanks to everyone for the super productive summit : D
Had lots of insightful discussions, and made progress on Oauth among other stuff.
Did some work on Oauth webhooks after the summit but mostly travelling around Europe last and this week.

@yvanzo

During the summit, I met Jade and Julian for the first time, and solicited bitmap and reosarevok for an MB team meeting.
Big up to julian45 for his great help with the new Jira server he mentioned earlier!
See [OTHER-451: Upgrade Jira to 10.3 LTS]
Didn’t get much interactions otherwise.
Last week, I mostly started to catch up with MBS development, more particularly the MTCaptcha and React parts.

@reosarevok

After the summit, I came back and started looking at finishing some of the larger open PRs I worked on before it
So the basic parse-a-date, the bit to show the release of origin on edits entered from the relationship editor and the React conversion of the recording editor
The first two are pretty much done I think, although I’m sure a few last issues will come up in review. For the latter I need to still update the React code to properly validate stuff and show errors as expected
(the good thing being this validation, for things like lengths and ISRCs/ISWCs, can be at least partially reused later, so at least it’s making future changes easier)
This week I expect I’ll keep working on the recording form

@hemang-mishra

[Hemang Mishra] I have been currently working on implementing create account features using DOM automation similar to my Gsoc project for login automation.
Some bugs took lots of time to debug but finally finished them today.
Apart from this. Had a fun time organizing an ICPC style contest at my college.

@anshgoyal31

[ansh] After the summit, I picked up some tasks on ListenBrainz.
Also, I’ve started understanding the codebase of BookBrainz so that I can quickly get started with upgrading React to the latest version.
As we speak, I’m still on vacation and exploring Portugal, and should be back next week.

Nothing from my side! I’m on vacation just enjoying nature !

@outsidecontext

not much from my side either, as I didn’t have much time. But some Picard PR reviews, ticket support and minor code maintenance

@jasjeet

[jasje] Last week is blurry to me tbh. Little bits here and there. Nice PR hemang today which I’ll take up testing this week and hopefully merge as well.

absent: a few people still travelling post-summit etc
