Reviews

@bitmap

[mailed in] Didn’t get a ton of work done after getting back from the summit since I got sick.
I spent a bit more on some sir changes to allow live indexing on the same database but to multiple solr clusters
I redeployed MB containers to address the eMudhra CA compromise
The recording edit form conversion to React PR was closed because I pushed too many additional changes which became hard to review. I’ve started working on splitting it into three separate PRs (still WIP)
And I’m planning to address performance issues with the subscription emails soon which are causing the MB full exports to not run

@Silona

[mailed in] [Silona Bonewald] Im going to miss the sprint but basically summit and then sick. Today and this week OTR (Open Technology Research) and Mozfest

@reosarevok

[mailed in] Spent the whole week off riding bikes, having good food and then attending a wedding. In Lyon now making our way back home by train, second leg tomorrow so back at work Wednesday.

@julian45

[mailed in] during the week of summit, i got jira upgraded to the latest version, and i’m happy to report that this fixed most of the “activity” view-related issues : D
over the last little while, i’ve also been working on some OS upgrades for a few of our servers, as well as patching systems for all the vulns you’ve heard about in the last week or so
(if you’re worried, we only use php for the blog and the MB wiki, and those were both promptly patched; no emudhra certificates anywhere either ;))
on that note, i also worked with our lead service developers like bitmap and monkey to make sure MB/LB/BB dependencies were upgraded to use fixed versions of node/python/etc.; many thanks to them for their quick work

@zas

Last week, I was traveling (with Jasjeet), but I manage to keep server up-to-date, and fixed a long series of Picard bugs
We’ll release 3.0.3 tomorrow or Thursday

@anshgoyal31

[ansh] Last week, I was mostly travelling but I found some time to finalise a plan on modernising BookBrainz
I started with integrating sentry, bumping the dependencies and upgrading React from 16 → 18.
And spent some time brainstorming on the in-app notifications

@mr_monkey

[monkey] After a productive bu somewhat tiring summit, I mainly continued some PR reviewing for various features in progress.
I caught up on emails
And then spent a looooong while fixing security issues and deploying patched images for LB and BB

@JadedBlueEyes

[Jade] It’s been a long and exciting week at MatrixConf but TLDR is:

• the most watched talks in order are my talk, the state of the union keynote, and also my talk
• I met lots of cool people and have had interesting discussions
• I am finalising a contract with Element right now

Also preparing for the GSoC summit next week
I am hoping to have the delayed mb-graphql and mb-mail-service discussions from the summit at some point but have been too busy, ideally I’ll find a time when people are free
Also considering stuff around fosdem, ie speaking / attending this year
(although probably should actually as a relay for Silona Bonewald to transfer knowledge from the Matrix events WG who traditionally run a fringe hackathon)

@outsidecontext

Not so much last week. After the summit I got greeted with a work week full of dealing with a variety of security related issues. Not much time for MB, except some minor code review and bugfix PRs on the weekend.
As zas already mentioned, we’ll have a bugfix release this week

@lucifer

Last week was mostly traveling around the Basque county and trying out different 'tarta de queso’s.

@yvanzo

Since the last weekly meeting, I attended to a great summit, thanks to everyone who was there or remotely attending!
Then did a bit of Jira maintenance (license renewals and app updates).
Had a friendly visit from Jasjeet and Zas.

@Gopal7387

[Gopal] I worked on the LB-1971 LPs on the Floor PR. Focused on cover alignment and gap fixes and pushed the new changes.
Thanks a lot to MonkeyDo and Aerozol for that. Its great improvement for the Art Creators page.
Also, I have opened a fix for the mobile touch issue on the progress bar, LB-1965.

• LB-1971: Add options to Art Creator ‘LPs on the floor’
• LB-1965: Smooth progress bar animation and drag-to-seek support

@Haris

• LB-859: Dark Mode for ListenBrainz Website

Oh yeah its up on beta pls go find bugs in it

@ApeKattQuest_MonkeyPython

last week I returned from Barcelona!
this week I:

• slept
• did some translation of CritiqueBrainz
• Finished translation completely of the Picard barcodescanner!
• have to deal with door fire-safety refurbishing nonsense

rn working on PANDEIRO aliases and then will do pandero
everyone give a big cheer for finally having the addition of these!

@lioncat6

[lioncat] Last week I’ve been on a bandcamp library for SAMBL with proper type definitions, to hopefully help with the jank a little bit. Other than that, a bunch of editing and I pushed a QOL update for the release seeder.

absent: garv thakre (3), jasje (3), waqib2992 (3), yateen (1), failure (1) (everyone with 3 missed meetings in a row removed from regulars, re-add yourself if you are back!)

[IvanDobsky]

You may have a copy\pasta typo - unless @reosarevok and @julian45 were doing exactly the same thing…

[Haris076]

Hi! Thanks for pointing that out. To clarify, this was reosarevok’s review accidentally copy pasted for Julian’s. I have notified aerozol about it. He will fix it when he wakes up in a few hours.

[IvanDobsky]

@Haris076

To clarify, this was reosarevok’s review

I see… That makes sense as the post did start with:

@aerozol

@mr_monkey: Happy international Pretend To Be Reosarevok day!
It’s me, your usual everyday reosarevok.

I assumed it was a test to see if anyone was paying attention

[aerozol]

Thanks all, has been fixed!
