@Freso

I helped review a blog post about AcousticBrainz Gentlecat is/was writing (it hasn’t been published yet though).
Worked on upgrading Discourse, but something happened, and I had to have zas’ help to actually finish the updating.
I also finished up paper work related to the GCI trip and generally been around and about in the community. Been a bit of a lazy week for me though.

I finally dealt with that open thread about compilations
(2-in-1s are comps now!)
As mentioned last week, I opened a few threads just before last meeting - after this I’ll go and check if there’s enough info for deciding stuff now
Some support, and tons of editing, aided by @loujine’s new scripts (thanks @loujine)

I worked more on moving chef-cookbooks/server-configs stuff into docker…basically trying to get the equivalent of a ./provision.sh working with the docker stuff
closer to having something usable but it’d be good to discuss this more
since I’m not sure if what I’m doing is the best way
I fixed the mbs Dockerfile so it doesn’t need a volume anymore…I just have the nginx container based on the mbs one now
so they share the same image and have access to the same files, though it probably uses more space
also reviewed some gsoc stuff which I’m now a bit behind on
so I’ll check the picard PR again today (sorry rahulr)

Fixed data.mb.o (it was DWNI mess), tried to make some space on Wiley backup disk, which is out of space again, various security upgrades, had to reboot asterix after it freaked out, many MB edits, nothing more, still busy on personal stuff, and that’s summer

I started work on a new feature for AB, being able to quickly get metadata for recordings which have been submitted to AB. Freso and I discussed it a bit here: http://tickets.musicbrainz.org/browse/AB-115, I’m still not sure if it’s going to be better for us to copy data into the AB db, or access the MB db directly
Once we have this data we’ll be able to do quick artist filtering when we’re generating models, show metadata in the dataset editor without doing thousands of ws lookups, and do search [i’m really excited about search, finally]
I also worked with kartikgupta0909 on his next milestone. looking good so far
and I spoke with armalcolite about a few things

Mostly fixes and improvements to the dialog I’ve been working on.
Started working on album search dialog; mostly lurking on Picard’s code to find some reusable existing functionality.
There are some nits which I recently came to notice in existing code of the dialog. I’ll fix them in a day or two.

I got all of my achievements finished this week. Added the new contavertial ones we discussed in the bb meeting a week ago. I’ve got unit tests to sort out now for my module (now I know how to do it :P) and a notification system so people know that they have actually unlocked stuff, that is going pretty well at the moment.
A bunch of UI changes to come and Im getting close to the cleanup stage just polishing everything

Discussed with alastairp and then changed the listen’s schema a bit.
Wrote a bunch of new tests for api-compat. With some more to go, i think the initial set will finish.
I now have the best ready for creating tests for the native API as well.
Went over with the project goals again to make sure nothing is left.

Last week I worked on the server API for the client to be able to get jobs for a user. Its done but yet to be merged. This week I ll start writing the client side code for making the request for a user. And also proceed with the server API.

Discogs http/https URL normalization

IRC Logs for #metabrainz | MetaBrainz Chatlogs

@chirlu asks “about whether we want to convert Discogs URLs to https like we did with Wikidata (Discogs is now redirecting to https always, too).”
@reosarevok, @Freso, @Rob, and @bitmap all agreed with converting Discogs URLs and no one else commented on it.
