  • last week I had to show up at the office at 8:30am. effectively in the middle of the night. it was traumatic.
  • but the office then had a new power box installed.
    and today we had the 300mbit fiber optic installed.
  • still no power, but we have fiber. priorities, right? :slight_smile:
  • did the monthly finances and am happy to report hat we’ve had the best first quarter ever!
  • “I wonder if this is correlated to chrisskye’s efforts. :)”

  • finished work on MBS-8720
  • set up a bot (brainzbot (BrainzBot) · GitHub) for jenkins to update build status and ask about builds, so now we can build every pull request for MBS and AB, CB
  • also reviewed some pull requests

  • finally released a new version of pymb, after 2 years

  • did a bunch of hacking on BookBrainz this week, working with LordSputnik to get a release pushed out with our direct-database branch.
  • With any luck, we’ll have a production release this week. It won’t have much that’s user-facing, but there are a handful of bugfixes that come as a consequence of that work, and some other ones as well.
  • also got some work done on my schema change ticket (multiple release barcodes). I need to make sure the current code can accommodate the schema changes, but I should have a PR out in a day or two for review.

  • Two style discussions closed and applied this week
  • So we now have a specific way of dealing with multi-layer/side mediums
  • And actual guidance for copyright rel dates
  • We also got rid of the [religious music] “artist”
  • Thanks mostly to @ListMyCDs.com who entered a few thousand edits to fix that mess
  • This week I’ll be opening another easy and hard discussion

@LordSputnik

  • Worked with Leftmost on the next release, which is going well. One thing to finish off tonight hopefully, then lots of testing
  • also learnt to use InfluxDB and Grafana, which may or may not be useful here in future :wink:
  • played around with ES6 modules, learnt a bit about Flux and React best practices, and made some improvements to BB following that

@Zas

  • I tried to make Letsencrypt work with our gateways setup
  • but it is overcomplicated to get a proper setup with chef and HA in the way (at least for now)
  • supervised few PRs for Picard and userscripts, did the usual maintainance on servers (mostly upgrades, cleanup)
  • started to look at our requests / usage, which is abnormally high since sometimes
  • didnt find yet how we can improve the situation, apart increasing the bandwidth

  • had a look into AB-63. Rather I have started working on it.
  • @alastairp had already made a basic table displaying all the public datasets
  • have to put in a filter for the status of their last job.
  • also pagination as the number of datasets will go high in the future.

  1. After alastraip’s work, i learned a lot about chrome dev tools. Read more about XHR’s and function closures in js.
  1. Updated the 2 PR’s as usual. Once again, ready for review :slight_smile:
  2. There was a suggestion to add tests as well. So i spent this week learning nose and writing nosetests. I wrote some tests on my latest project GitHub - pinkeshbadjatiya/Nex: A mini Multi-Threaded ProxyServer + HTTPserver in python using socket programming (it is actualy a python server. the repo is private, though i can give access to anyone whose interested:) ). I also found that there is a newer version, nose2 which supports python3. So then migrated to nose2.
  3. I integrated some of my projects using Travis-CI and learned more about testing and integration with python3.

  • for the most part just going over the bbz codebase and getting up to speed with postgres
  • had a good talk in the last BBz meeting and think we have a better idea for how we will go ahead with gamification
  • courseload is a little crazy atm so i dont know how much i will get done of the next week or so, I will have to see how it pans out

Bot CoC

http://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/brainzbot/metabrainz/msg/3562404/

@Freso has posted a draft for a revised CoC posted at RFC: Revised Code of Conduct for bots - please review and comment.

@chirlu brought up something that wasn’t discussed last week: RFC: Revised Code of Conduct for bots - #2 by chirlu - the “to be implemented via code” part. (Ticket for it is at http://tickets.musicbrainz.org/browse/MBS-6723 )

We decided to remove the parenthesis from the CoC but leave the ticket open, though it’s not going to get worked on any time soon.

PICARD-807

http://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/brainzbot/metabrainz/msg/3562429/

Getting some feedback from server admins (that is, @Zas and @Rob) about PICARD-807, which is a feature request asking that Picard auto-reloads releases that failed to load.

@Zas agrees that the ticket is good and says it should be relatively simple and will have value even once we have moved to another server host.
