Reviews

@_Junaid

[mailed in] [fettuccinae] Last week I worked on integrating mb-mail service into MeB.org
waiting on reviews for the PRs

@aerozol

[mailed in] Quiet week again with mainly doing socials. A few tickets and PRs were glanced at and chatted about.
I’m on a kind-of-holiday next week, but will be online and have my laptop if really needed.

@anshgoyal31

[ansh] Last week, i was mainly working on the new auth pages for meb
And continued on some fixes on the new musicbrainz homepage

@mr_monkey

[monkey] Last week I reviewed the state of a big BookBrainz PR moving us to Bootstrap5. The work we previously did with ansh on LB is very useful, there isn’t a lot left but it’s now tedious fine-comb checking time : )
I also fixed an API related test issue on BB, and continued work with AApeKattQuest (IRC) on the user guide
On the LB side, I worked with mm.amanullah7 on finessing search in Navidrome and Funkwhale
I also continued working on improving the LB user stats page, adding a cover art grid
And started a PR to allow importing XSPF playlists from files
And looked into fixing Flask routing to special usernames with slashes in them…
And a few smaller tickets.

@zas

This week I was sick, so just did the bare minimum, few Picard PRs reviews and system upgrades. fin. (Recovering slowly).

@JadedBlueEyes

[Jade] This week i was ill, and had to deal with a bunch of nonsense IRL stuff
not much happened, other than research and stuff

@julian45

this week i did some updates to the auth server (authentik)
as part of the effort to replace ye (very) olde nagios, i also gave beszel a test drive
it seems pretty solid for basic server stats monitoring and alerting, but unfortunately does not cover some of the bases that current nagios does, like checking a webpage for a known valid result
so next up for testing are zabbix and (modern) nagios

@yvanzo

Last week, I did review some MBS PRs about the back-end, and helped with making it work through Docker.
Enabled low friction invisible captcha with MTCaptcha and updated tickets accordingly.
Replied to API user questions on Bluesky, reported by aerozol.
Also had a second helpful weekly meeting with bitmap and reosarevok about MB development.

@bitmap

last week I was mostly doing code review a fixing test failures, mainly in older PRs or ones for the release today. also dealt with some issues in the json dumps container (still monitoring it) and worked more on setting up mailpit/mb-mail-service for CI

@hemang-mishra

[Hemang Mishra] This week was a bit busy. Had a meet with jjasje discussing about the compliance issue with playstore and create account feature. Hope it would be resolved soon.
Also working on a bug reported by one of the users in Android 10, but I couldn’t reproduce the issue. Will update the logs to get more insight on the issue.

@jasjeet

[jasje] Lots of stuff last week
Handled issues reported by users

@lucifer

and i also worked on caching listens data after a LB load issue

@m.amanullah7

[mamanullah7] Last week I’ve mostly worked on improving tracks matching and tracks searching for both funkwhale and navidrome!
Even explored lot about funkwhale and was looking for a versions mismatch issue and exploring to find a way to fix that!

@rob

[mayhem] last week, I started feeling a bit better, but still needing a lot of naps.
I mostly worked on the new mapper, which is coming along nicely, the complicated tests are all passing now.
I also did more accounting, biz dev and the likes.
and some PR reviews, but I’m still quite behind on those. hoping to catch up tommorrow.

@kellnerd

Last week I was mostly busy IRL, so only Harmony PR reviews and support again.

@reosarevok

Last week, I added yet more finishing touches to the React conversions, plus I put beta out and banned a bunch of spammers
(and today I’m halfway through updating prod)
Hopefully this week we’ll merge some React PRs, and put a new beta server out with those
