Reviews

@aerozol

[mailed in] I’ve now caught up on socials and wiki etc from my time away.
Otherwise just minor tasks and requests and working on some relationship/press stuff with the board.

@failure_san

[mailed in] [failure] Not too much to report this last week, I was bogged down with my last few exams and assignments. Got back to the reviews on my PR, that’s about it.
On the bright side, all my exams are over, and I never have to suffer ever again.

@zas

[mailed in] As announced last week, I’m traveling this week and I’ll be somewhere in the sky during the meeting.
Last week, I mainly worked on Picard, most notably on PICARD-3317, PICARD-3318: Fix and redesign Attached Profiles dialog by zas · Pull Request #3222 · metabrainz/picard · GitHub (now merged).
I also reviewed patches from phw and rdswift (many were also merged).
We plan to release a new beta on the 30th this month.
I also fixed various issues related to Ansible, did the usual supervision, user support and various admin tasks.

@ApeKattQuest_MonkeyPython

[ApeKattQuest] it’s finally summer here so I’m going to try to be outside a little this week
other than that I’ve been adding releases and researching some instruments (no work to show for it yet tho )
let’s have a meeting some time this week monkey

@mr_monkey

[monkey] Last week I reviewed the progress of GSOC projects

Did some general admin, messages, contacting people etc.
Worked on the OAuth migration
Did a bit of Summit prep witrh reosarevok
And had a meeting with aerozol to chat a bit

@garvthakre

Last week i did migration of author and publisher editor section
And made some changes in my reviewed PRs

@nirvan73

[Nirvan Jain] This week i mostly worked on the bp-database migration stuff, opened few PRs and finally got the logger PR merged.
The next week am planning to work on anuj’s social viewmodel PR and make it final with a few feedback work as well on the other PRs.

@outsidecontext

Last week I did Picard PR reviews and some PR. Finally fixed some issue with locale detection / sorting on newer macOS.
Also I fixed an issue with my discourse-listenbrainz plugin, it broke after some recent Discourse update. I need to ping zas to update Discourse once he is back.
Oh, and I helped to get a new release of mutagen out (the Python library Picard uses for tag reading/writing)

@m.amanullah7

[mamanullah7] Nothing from my side
I’m waiting monkey to once test my pr

@fettucinae

Last week, I mostly worked on getting the response writer to work with the changes made in schema
And was a lil bit busy with exams

@lucifer

last week was mostly working on final bits of oauth stuff and more testing.

@yvanzo

Since last meeting I fixed a JS dependency bug in xgettext-js/musicbrainz-server.
Also deeper reviewed the React conversion of the MusicBrainz recording edit form.
Plus catching up with more usual stuff such as SEC tickets triage.

@bitmap

last week I finished refactoring our Plugin::Authentication modules to separate website/webservice and oauth/digest auth functionality
I started working on adding support for refreshing the login session using refresh tokens, to replace the existing remember_login cookie
and also began working on MBS-12379 to prevent the account deletion webhook callback from timing out in certain cases
[ MBS-12379: Delete user tags (and ratings?) via hourly cron on user deletion]

@julian45

did a jira minor version update in response to atlassian announcing security issues
held head in hands while being (much to my chagrin) neck deep in java for a bit
was mostly preoccupied though

@reosarevok

Last week I worked on MB code a bit (updated our Flow types, updated my React recording conversion to follow those plus to improve a few things yvanzo suggested…)
And dealt with a bunch of ED email, user reports, added a few genres, etc
Plus got some more people tickets for the summit!
And generally tried not to melt

@JadedBlueEyes

[Jade] I’ve mostly been melting
But generally recuperating from finishing uni, and preparing to move. Nothing interesting.

@waqib2992

[video]
Last week I added cover art support for the plugin along with identifiers
I also opened PR-3 and PR-4
In the upcoming week I will focus on creating pull requests to finish the metadata tab and implement some changes that i got from recent feedback

@jasjeet

[jasje] Last week was productive
Reviewed and merged a few PRs
Did some work on cmp
Mostly ensuring things don’t break in migration

@haris

Hi everyone, worked on the fresh releases scroll bar pr. Read some literature on this nice thing called “MoodDJ” to integrate it into this new “mood” feature me and mr.monkey have been trying to discuss (with another researcher)

@op3kay

This week I worked on getting most of the entities resolvers working. Everything’s going well now just left with some patch up stuff.
