IRC Logs for #metabrainz | MetaBrainz Chatlogs

@Freso

I had a lot of plans for this week, and I got pretty much nothing done.
I did get the first few(!) lines of code written for a script to import Spotify releases into MusicBrainz (using editor form seeding), but still a long way to go on that.
A bit earlier today I met up with Rob in Copenhagen and had him haul the first part of my stuff for Barcelona back to his place.
We also talked a bit about recent (and less) recent events in MusicBrainz and MetaBrainz.
One of the things we talked about was job openings - right now we’re looking for 2 people:
a) 1 business developer/bizdev person to take over from Christina, and
b) 1 Perl developer to help the development of musicbrainz-server.
We’re not going to actively go hunt to get these positions filled until we’re live at NewHost, but if the right person for either of the jobs suddenly appears, we’ll jump on it. So if you know anyone, let them and us know!

@CatQuest

so the previous week I did add some instruments
(including the Māori instrument ensemble Taonga pūoro)
but again I was limited by my cat being sick, and, unfortunately on tuesday, he died ;(
and it seems this week wont be much either as I’ve developed a cold, I’ll work hard once it clears up.

I worked a lot with armalcolite last week, we did really well on polishing up all of his PRs. Hopefully rob and I can coordinate this week to start getting them merged. There are quite a few dependencies, so it may take a while, but there’s some good stuff there
A bit on AB, but not much. hellska’s first patch is ready, a really major schema change, that Gentlecat and I finished reviewing today, and I’ll try and merge tomorrow

Added refresh functionality to the track dialog, and got it working as expected.
Improved error displaying in the dialog.
Fixed some nits as suggested on PR.
The track dialog is final from my side, looking forward to getting that merged.
Worked on the album dialog, got it running. I’ll open up a PR by the end of this week after discussing with bitmap.

Got all my unit testing and cleanup done on the profile page branch, that is now up in a pull request that LordSputnik is going through, the rest of the week has been working on the next branch to merge, getting tests done and documentation

Worked on a lot of things, i’ll brief about each.

1. Opened a new PR that adds “playing_now” feature and displays them.
2. Updated the instructions for running the proxy-last.fm API (api_compat), and then created a PR to add support in MBH.
3. The listens on the user profile did not specify the correct time. Resolved the issue and a new PR
   And finally realized the truth about the timezones!
4. Addressed the feedback on the “splitting of listen → listen + listen_json table” PR. Its ready for the merging.
5. Continued work on the GSoC project, api_compat branch. Tested and added new methods as used by the official lastfm client. Also, made the methods compatible for both audacious & lastfm-client as some use the old API. Also tested it on the windows client.
   Spent quite a lot of time discussing with alastairp and Gentlecat regarding almost all the PR’s on improving the logic and workflow of the code. The end products were tickets, short-notes, code-reviews and the improved code.
   Also i spent quite some time in addressing a lot of feedback this week on all of my branches. Most of the issues were related to formatting/logic/simplicity in all the PR. And by lot, i really mean a lot!

IRC notifications

IRC Logs for #metabrainz | MetaBrainz Chatlogs

@Gentlecat raised some concerns about the various IRC notifications from some but not all projects.

There was general agreement that the current activity wasn’t too noisy, but we agreed to turn off IRC notifications for git pushes and turn on notifications for pull request creation - for all projects.
