# #MetaBrainz Meeting 2016-07-04 Meeting start: [Making sure you're not a bot!](https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/brainzbot/metabrainz/msg/3641605/) ## Agenda - Reviews ## Reviews ### @Freso [Making sure you're not a bot!](https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/brainzbot/metabrainz/msg/3641612/) > [@Freso](#): > > Spent a good chunk of time looking into the circumstances about the non-renewal of chrisskye’s contract, reading through e-mails, chat logs, etc. > Managed to actually be part of the BookBrainz meeting for the first time in a while. > Tried to upgrade the Discourse install, but it failed. Prodded zas, but not sure if I ever got a reply. I’ll try again in a bit and re-prod. > Brought another open source project to the /supporters page, after Leo\_Verto mentioned them in #MusicBrainz (nusic, Android app: [GitHub - schnatterer/nusic: your new music (android app) · GitHub](https://github.com/schnatterer/nusic) ) > Otherwise I’ve mostly been around and about, keeping up with forums and IRC to the best of my ability. Finally got the RPi2 back online yesterday, so keeping up with IRC should be much easier now. 🙂 > (And I might actually be getting my 100/100 fiber connection this week too. We’ll see.) ### @zas [Making sure you're not a bot!](https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/brainzbot/metabrainz/msg/3641620/) > [@zas](#): > > I’m currently fighting with personal / family issues, i didn’t do much this week but overall monitoring and general maintenance > I hope to solve/push back those issues and come back during this week to real work. ### @reosarevok [Making sure you're not a bot!](https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/brainzbot/metabrainz/msg/3641627/) > [@reosarevok](#): > > I did support and editing, and decided I should stop slacking, so while I haven’t decided on the hard style issue yet, at least I’m opening a couple smaller, hopefully simpler discussions to make _some_ stuff happen > They’ll be open for a week, then I’ll decide what to do with them. No letting them sit there this time 😛 > This week I plan to finally take a decision on the boxset issue, or if I can’t decide as such, then going for a second round of discussion with a more specific goal in mind ### @bitmap [Making sure you're not a bot!](https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/brainzbot/metabrainz/msg/3641633/) > [@bitmap](#): > > worked more on [https://github.com/mwiencek/musicbrainz-server/commit/f1e1e58](https://github.com/mwiencek/musicbrainz-server/commit/f1e1e58) and finally got all the services talking to each other correctly > came up with a plan to move all the private chef-cookbooks/server-configs stuff into a new repo and make the docker setup use that > mostly spent time testing that in vagrant > did gsoc code review and testing ### @Gentlecat [Making sure you're not a bot!](https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/brainzbot/metabrainz/msg/3641639/) > [@Gentlecat](#): > > I spent some time trying to figure out what was causing issues with memcached in dockerizied CB > couldn’t, so I just ended up porting cache wrapper in python-brainzutils to redis > that seems to be working now > also upgraded sentry, and was trying to fix static file stuff in CB deployment with docker > done some code review ### @Rob [Making sure you're not a bot!](https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/brainzbot/metabrainz/msg/3641647/) > [@Rob](#): > > As you may have noticed last week I decided to not renew chrisskye’s contract, with immediate effect. > Over the past 3 months communication started to break down and in the last week, I felt unnecessarily attacked, causing me lots more stress on top of the of stress I already had. > I felt viciously attacked. I felt blackmailed. > After taking a time-out walk to calm down from being lividly angry, I decided that I didn’t need the stress and didn’t need someone who made me feel like this on my team. > I feel bad how I all of this went down, but this situation spiraled out of control with amazing speed and ferocity that I’ve never witnessed before. > I was caught off guard several times and it is hard to be patient when you feel like you’re being attacked. > This is all I am going to say about this topic. > I’ve told Freso my side of the story and if Freso cares to say any more about this, that is up to him. > aside from that I worked with armalcolite to get more PRs reviewed and merged and we’re now on track. I’m quite happy with the progress on LB. > I’ve also started working on musicbrainz-vm which is a docker/vagrant MB in a VM setup. > the idea is that you install VB, Vagrant and then clone the repo. > and then do install.sh > and of course wait. > it would work if it didn’t run out of disk space. alas. > I’ll continue on this next week. > but this week, I’m headed off to Nowhere for a much needed break of dust, hippies, crazy parties and weird art. > I’m off grid 100% from Wednesday morning until Sunday late. > and boy, do I need it! ### @alastairp [Making sure you're not a bot!](https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/brainzbot/metabrainz/msg/3641669/) > [@alastairp](#): > > this week mostly merging and working with SoC projects > coming up this week is some new changes to be able to do search in the dataset editor ### @Zastai [Making sure you're not a bot!](https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/brainzbot/metabrainz/msg/3641674/) > [@Zastai](#): > > have been looking at [MBS-8961](https://tickets.musicbrainz.org/browse/MBS-8961) today (avoid text like “additional, drums, guest and percussion” in artist relationship overview); have a [working prototype](https://imgur.com/w3ySWH1) that groups non-instrument/vocal attributes first (so “additional and guest: drums and percussion”) > will probably create a PR today > so far, the small UI things I’ve looked at have been fairly easy; will continue to pick up jira tickets that seem doable ### @rahulr [Making sure you're not a bot!](https://chatlogs.metabrainz.org/brainzbot/metabrainz/msg/3641678/) > [@rahulr](#): > > Just finishing up the track search dialog.
