## Reviews

> [@failure\_san](#):
>
> [failure] was far too sick last week; hence more productive than usual : P  
> worked on resolving LB-1848 for pretty much the entire week and setting things up for it  
> [[LB-1848: Use MB URL relationships in BrainzPlayer](https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/LB-1848)]  
> opened [LB#3548](https://github.com/metabrainz/listenbrainz-server/pull/3548) so that’s a big win woo hoo

> [@bitmap](#):
>
> last week I mostly spent time on code review, GSoC idea text, dealing with MB website alerts, and refactoring / adding tests for MBS webservice auth code

> [@julian45](#):
>
> last week i upgraded the matrix-IRC bridge and figured out the necessary traefik wizardry to make sure media actually carries through properly!  
> this means that the link that shows on IRC for long matrix messages and media uploads should actually work and lead to the expected stuff!  
> besides that, i _almost_ went to update our staff SSO system but didn’t since there seem to be lots of regressions with the new version; that aside, did patching and the usual MB edits

> [@zas](#):
>
> Last week was mostly about release Picard 3 alpha, updating the website, and related stuff. Also went to FOSDEM  
> I was happy to meet with a part of the team (Jade mayhem reosarevok lucifer)  
> And to see the Open Source community is rather alive in EU ; )

> [@yvanzo](#):

> Last week I further helped with MB ideas for GSoC and digged schema change issues.

>
> [Nirvan Jain] this week was quite busy because of college exams, so I wasn’t able to make as much progress. But yeah just saw that my PR has been reviewed,so I’ll go through the comments and start making the requested changes. Also still facing the error in the playlist filter feature that I was working on, will figure it out asap and will open an issue for the same as soon as I have more clarity.

> Released some prod version of LB and contacted third-party scrobblers regarding a new feature  
> Reworked the footer design to integrate the LB android app logo  
> Added documentation for the HTML widgets  
> Most of those were in reaction to comments and issues reported by users on the forums and on social media

> Fosdem, Cloudflare, my talk, and a whole bunch of events I didn’t expect to go to  
> But is been incredible. Was super good to meet up with those of you that made it  
> Unfortunately because of all that not much else got done 😔

> [@haris](#):
>
> [mailed in] Still stuck on prev prs, not enough time, organising the largest festival of the uni, will def start working more  
> after it ends (15th feb)

> [@ApeKattQuest\_MonkeyPython](#):
>
> [﻿MonkeyPython] Managed to work some on INST-1162 , with a pull-request merged by reo  
> [[INST-1162: Remove/replace instrument Commons images](https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/INST-1162)]  
> still continuing work on this, it’s actually very good actually because it forces me to go through all the instruments that have 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 been touched or even looked at  
> in other words I’m working on getting back to bookbrainz too. let’s have a meeting on thursday/wednesday at 16:00 monkey !

> [@outsidecontext](#):
>
> last week was mostly about releasing the Picard 3 beta, and handling bug fixes afterwards. There was some very useful feedback for things not working as they should. But surprisingly little bugs, and nothing too bad 🙂 I had expected worse

> [@anuj990](#):
>
> [anuj\_] During this week, things were more interesting than the previous one  
> I had two college quizzes, managed to made a PR on delete listen feature and also browsed some KMP documentation

> [@jasjeet](#):
>
> [jasje] Last week was okay  
> Did PR reviews  
> Released a small fix for login and lb submission since there was some condition changed server side wrt to playing now.  
> Playstore review replies  
> Standard stuff

> [@reosarevok](#):
>
> Last week I worked a bit more on the series-of-series schema change  
> I also started looking at what search changes it might need, and revisited some of my old open search PRs to rebase them and add some tests  
> I need to test them properly in the next few weeks though : )  
> Other than that I reviewed a bunch of PRs, banned people, deleted spam, and attended quite a few things at FOSDEM  
> This week I’m hoping to put a beta out and finally spend some time looking at bitmap’s external link improvements

> [@Lioncat6](#):
>
> [almost on time!] SAMBL has been pretty much entirely converted to tpescript, with a bunch of improvements with the new filtering system. As it turns out the issue that me and @supersaltygamer were discussing can be worked around as url search queries support regex, so that means apple music artist lookup should be recieving a big improvement soon.  
> [[MBS-14227: ID Extraction for regional URL relations](https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/MBS-14227)]  
> Providers now support toggling in case of any misbehaving services require me to temporarily disable them, and soundcloud has been causing me some troubles with captchas on certain api endpoints, so that needs a slight rework.

+ a reminder for project devs to update GSoC wiki pages if they have any more ideas
