I spent a good chunk of the week getting all the monetary paper work for last month done, as the Google Code-in invoice submission had a deadline on the 15th (this last Friday).
In between that, I also churned out the backlog of meeting notes. Now I just have all the other backlogs to clear…
Did some Discourse updating too and put Gentlecat’s blog post live: Dataset creation challenges in AcousticBrainz – MetaBrainz Blog
And the regular stuff of being around too.

1. Worked on biz dev shit and minor invoices stuff. Universal finally paid us some money!
2. I spent quite a bit of time working on the new MB-VM setup. The latest code-base should produce a working VM on linux or on a Mac. Windows not supported. I’d love to get people to try it and see if it works for them: GitHub - metabrainz/musicbrainz-vm: Scripts for creating the MusicBrainz VM with Vagrant and Docker.
3. Next week I will finish/test/integrate the search server docker bits and hopefully release a new VM.

I’m off at Borderland this week, continuing a much needed break.

I finished moving docker templates to m4, about to open a PR
took a while to learn how macros worked there
also moved pgbouncer setup into docker
which isn’t quite working yet
getting closer but mbs is huge and there’s a lot of missing pieces…

So, this week I was away Thursday to Monday racing electic cars with the university (or trying to). So nothing has gotten done. However, now I’m pretty free
So I’ve just merged QuoraUK’s initial PR into the BB master branch, and I’m going to merge the MB OAuth PR tonight as well
And I’m also going to send Gentlecat my CAA dockerfile

lots of reviews, today armalcolite and hellska, last week kartik.
in AB I finished most of the work to cache metadata for recordings in the acousticbrainz db
I started on the part to generate temporary highlevel feature files based on models which are generated through the dataset builder (e.g., Gentlecat’s research and our conference paper).
with these new features we’ll be able to better evaluate the accuracy of the datasets that we create, in order to better inform ourselves if we want to include them live into the AB database.

I’ve started adding instruments, both ones (now) being assigned to me and trying to take chunks out of the unassigned backlog - thanks to Yvans and CallerNo6 for helping out - but I got sidetracked quite severally because my cat got very sick
So I haven’t been able to do so many.
I’ll pm, pastee? a list of the ones I’ve added so far to freso, so he can add them in his blogpost thingy.

Made some changes to existing Picard code, to make it usable for the dialogs.
Did some work on album dialog, mostly design releated.
Mostly busy prepping for exam, I’ve got one tomorrow (today to be accurate 12.30 am) and one on Sun.

Im working on cleaning up my code for profile page now, ready to put a pr in by the end of the week

Made a bunch of changes in api_compat based on ruaok’s feedback.
Tested the api_compat with audacious and made changes appropriate to api’s methods. Also wrote the documentation for the same.
(not a detailed documentation, just some initial testing instructions. I’ll start writing the actual documentations soon.)
Created a new PR! It addresses the splitting of the listens table into two.
Encountered an interesting bug in python (not really a bug), the objects in a list get mutated when passed to the function.
was not aware of this, https://ptpb.pw/1KwZ

Last week i wrote the client code for making the request to the server to get pending jobs for a user. This week I ll be writing server and client code to process each job one by one. Mostly it will be passing datasets for a job to server to the client.
