Reviews

@outsidecontext

[mailed in] We had another beta release for Picard, as planned. I also had a couple of Picard PRs, primarily improving and fixing type hints for the plugin API. Also some code reviews.

@failure_san

[mailed in] [failure] I got the go-ahead from my doctor and I am back to work. I spent some time figuring out what I had gotten done before I got sick and what is left, and made it into a rough timeline. After that, I mostly tried to finish the stuff I had left done halfway through before.

@aerozol

[mailed in] A crazy few weeks, with little time for MeB work apart from barely staying on top of socials, meeting notes, and a little bit of comms drafting and spam-hammering.
I’m missing it! Hope to be back in the data-mines soon. Stay well everyone, and protect yourself against the data lung. keff keff

@JadedBlueEyes

[Jade] I don’t really have anything to report this week, just hoping and praying for rain

@bitmap

last week I submitted some patches for improved webhook error handling, MBS-14440, and spent some time investigating MB logout issues. mostly just misc. tasks otherwise

• MBS-14440: Webservice requests can return authenticated data on unauthenticated requests

@anshgoyal31

[ansh] Last week, I primarily worked on closing long standing PRs for ListenBrainz.
Worked fixing a small bug in BookBrainz
And continued reviewing PRs for GSoC

[monkey] We received confirmation from NLNet that BookBrainz was accepted for a grant!
More to come on that topic in the coming weeks

I have been busy contributing to not-metabrainz stuff lately. But i did update my PRs and sent a reminder to get it reviewed, but GH is down today :c

@reosarevok

I was off last week, mostly - spending some time with family and friends in Estonia
Now back and working with Silona again getting her up to speed on some stuff
Plus I would have sent a small PR, but, yeah
(just blocking more “smart” aggregators since a lot got reported last week)

@garvthakre

so as there was a big refactoring change in the format of strings, so this week i was just updating my old PRs with this new namespace json and also waiting for monkey reviews too.

@julian45

last week i was mostly in long trainings for $dayjob so i didn’t get a whole lot of MeB stuff done : (
pros: learned a powerful tool for job functions
cons: i know a lot more about 20-year old java code than i would have otherwise, plus less MeB time
but that aside, i did some MeB server patching here and there, and also hacked on mb-mail-service a bit (changes so far are not in a formal release) to see where we could safely upgrade some dependencies

@yvanzo

Last week I drafted an announcement for MB Search upgrades in Q4.
I had a dev meeting with bitmap and lucifer about it and search tests.
