@Rob

IRC Logs for #metabrainz | MetaBrainz Chatlogs

last week:

• wild goose chases for getting water and power turned on at the office.
• returning some incorrect ikea purchases
• preparing tax information for our accountants. Trying out Xero on their recommendation and getting turned off by them charging $70/month
• Started to write the 2014 annual report and promptly depressed myself.
• cleaning out the office and assembling furniture
• meet with the mural artist and buy paints for murals

Overall piss poor productivity since the ongoing office tasks keep distracting us in significant ways. This week I am off to london tue - thu.

I answered some support email and pushed the style conversation a bit (it seems like it’s time to summarise that and take another step). We got another person needing a manual email confirmation. Please someone find that ticket and assign it to me, I’ll do my best to find some time to code it in.

• Finished working on MBS-3887.
• Started converting CritiqueBrainz to Python version 3. Found some problems with caching and spent all night fixing them. I think that’s almost done. I just need to do some more testing and deploy it.

I finally sketched out some of my ideas for the BookBrainz UI work, fixed some bugs and did a little maintenance work, and started
working on our error handling.
On the MusicBrainz side, I continued moving the barcode fetching to the new layout. I think that work is pretty much finished and I just
need to get a testing instance up.

I’ve…

• Followed up on the resolutions from last week’s meeting.
• Helped @Rob with the 2014 annual report (any day now!)
• Wrote a blog post about GSoC
• And various “community service” stuff, being around and about.

And earlier today I wrote a small novel in response to two questions the Discourse community guy asked us.

And I finally got my June flight for the GCI event sorted out.

@Bitmap

• finished most of the edit classes for the alt-release schema change, only one remaining is the edit-tracklist one
• finished the UI for actually selecting these from the release page
• will finish the remaining edit class stuff and start the web service stuff this week
• did some code review finally, too

My week felt unproductive. Most of my time was spent trying to help ruaok get the water and electricity turned on at the office.
The rest of my time was spent on the usual emails to new sign-ups (mostly stealth start-ups) and other correspondence/coordination with supporters.

@Zas

• finished nginx cleanups
• worked with @Rob to get the S3 backup (discourse) works as it should
• usual maintainance, supervision, and upgrades
• added nagios checks for ssl certs validity
• worked a bit on Picard, to finally discover it is a pure mess as usual

@LordSputnik

• made my first ever patch on the MB server backend code, adding a paremter to the /userinfo endpoint to return user id
• made some schema changes to BookBrainz to accomodate this information, which should allow us to link BB users to MB users
• BB users will be able to keep their BB usernames - they’re stored separately from MB usernames
• worked on some UI designs with @LeftmostCat - we had a very productive meeting talking about that, and also worked out how to proceed with the new WS
• BookBrainz has got a much cleaner editing interface coming along

I only did some BB documentation this week. But I’d like to welcome all GSoC students, especially @Quora who I’m looking forward to working with on gamification in BB.

@chirlu

• Remade the static database on rika, which had been emptied mistakenly.

@Quora

• nothing to report as of now, was busy with exams and assignments.

Music Reports

IRC Logs for #metabrainz | MetaBrainz Chatlogs

@chrisskye asked about who it was that put a lead in that Music Reports was using MusicBrainz data. With some chat log searching, it was revealed that is was @Rob. A bit of chatter about Music Reports and speculating about their sources.
