I did support stuff, both as mail and in Discourse (I’m still really liking Discourse!)
I cleaned up a couple big composers again
That’s mostly it to be honest. I got gifted a controller for my birthday
Which was cool but hasn’t helped me work
Anyway. I am planning to read through that 2-in-1 thread tonight and open a new, more specific one with “I want to add this y/n”

I think the 23rd was the day we started the postgres upgrade or schema change release
it’s on the blog if you’d like to read about it
I guess I mostly worked on stuff related to that, then set up streaming replication on baron when I got back

@Gentlecat

@Zas

Well, mostly security upgrades (glibc), upgraded grafana, fixed sentry stuff with @Gentlecat
and started research about docker, and the advantages/inconvenients to use it for our infrastructure
plus various fixes, merged PR (userscripts), and usual maintennace
and we finally sort out the migration issues

first I oversaw a traumatic release, but as bitmap said, read the blog posts.
then I MacGyver’ed power for the office internet connection.
which is FAST.
friday I finally started catching up on various bits and bobs.
I’m around tomorrow, but then I’m off to dance with hippies in the forest in italy.
it is going to be a massive cluserfuck, but the food will be amazing.
no net connection, so no word from me thursday am to sunday late pm.
and even then, there will be too much italian food for me to answer email.

I’m in Canada on semi-vacation…finally over jet-lag and bronquitis and can think about working…
I’ve been doing the minimum required to keep up on the new users. Luckily it has been quiet for a few days.
But, we did get a Gold sign-up: Graphiq
@Gentlecat is amazing at helping me with the supporters page. He posts things faster than I can type a note to the supporter to say the logo will be up “soon”.
@Freso is great help too, with getting more detailed content into responses.
I’ve also been brainstorming the Task Rabbit and have an idea for MusicBrainz “Valet”. I am typing out the idea to present to ruaok and all.

I’ve been working on the dialog box for displaying more tracks (other than the one automatically tagged) in Picard.
Basic UI and functionality is ready, and one can see additional tracks in that box. Though, it does only this much currently.
Some digging into Picard. Looked into existing methods and working.
If anyone would like to have a look at dialog → GitHub - rahul-raturi/picard at embed_search

I got some good planning in with LordSputnick and got a gantt chart showing how I will spend my time on the project
Set up the environment again due to some schema changes
(still having issues but a db dump should fix when i get it)
added my tables to the schema and ready to get designing badges and working on the code once the db is sorted

This week was mostly dealing with the reviews on the postgres PR
Changing a lot of stuff as per review and then fixing broken bits.
A lot of bits here and there, but finally it is taking good shape.
It won’t stay open for long.
Got sentry access for LB.
(UI is quite pretty :))

Fixed the debian sources for Gaia

Right. So I’ve been trudging my way through the eldritch horrors of google apis to design the bigquery schema suitable for acousticbrainz queries
I think I’ve got it but I’ve just gotten access to a server and acousticbrainz data that I need to upload to test the efficiency of typical queries
That’s about it, stay tuned
and I’m thinking of buying the eldritch horror board game

Pythonic block of SOLR

IRC Logs for #metabrainz | MetaBrainz Chatlogs

CJ_ has stated that his SOLR work is currently blocked by not being proficient/familiar enough with Python, so if any Pythonistas are around who would like to help see the state of SOLR improve, please go poke at tickets in Log in - MetaBrainz Tickets and/or ping CJ_ when he’s around.

Affiliate tagger program

IRC Logs for #metabrainz | MetaBrainz Chatlogs

There have previously been some discussion about the status of the tagger affiliate program. @Rob decreed that it still earns MetaBrainz some income and that it will get phased out if the taggers currently in it die out, rather than moving them over to the MetaBrainz.org tier-based donation system.

Picard will not get enrolled in the program, but should rather get more emphasis on https://musicbrainz.org/'s front page directly.

Summit 16

IRC Logs for #metabrainz | MetaBrainz Chatlogs

We have dates and a place for MusicBrainz Summit 16 picked out: September 22nd to 24th in Barcelona, in MetaBrainz’ office there.

Add yourself to the table of attendees if you’re planning on attending!

“DR”: MBS-5168

IRC Logs for #metabrainz | MetaBrainz Chatlogs

A ticket about implenting JSON-LD in the web service. Should it be closed now that we have JSON-LD directly in pages? @Rob and @bitmap pinged a bit back and forth, but ultimately decided to leave it open.

For information, DR means decision required.
