## 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](https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/LB-1971): Add options to Art Creator ‘LPs on the floor’
> - [LB-1965](https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/LB-1965): Smooth progress bar animation and drag-to-seek support

> [@Haris](#):
>
> - [LB-859](https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/LB-859): Dark Mode for ListenBrainz Website
>

> [@ApeKattQuest\_MonkeyPython](#):

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

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.

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 😆
