Reading/Multimedia/Standup notes/2016/November
2016-11-01
- NOTE: This standup did not occur. Europe was on holiday, and Mark was sick.
2016-11-02
- Happy November!
- Prateek says his power is out, so he won't be attending.
Mark
- I'm not as sick as I was yesterday, but I would describe my mood as cautious optimism.
- I still don't really have anything in particular to do, so I'll check the FA security review for progress, then maybe bother some people, then trawl Phabricator for more.
- Maybe also run through my CR lists just to be safe.
Matthias
- Fixing things around "back" button
2016-11-03
Prateek (maybe attending)
- Caught up on CR and bugmail
- Marking some stuff for GCI
- Documenting user stories on Extension:FileAnnotations/Design/Process
- Please add your own if you have any
- Not yet sure about how to put all this on phab, but not letting that stop the process
Mark
- Yesterday went mostly as expected, searching for things to do still.
- Security review not moving. Should ping bawolff or someone today perhaps.
James
- Nothing, Phabricator stuff
- Backport things to REL1_28 if you need backports
Matthias
- Fixed things around "back" button
- Rebased follow-up patches (moving stuff out of UploadWizard obj)
- Looking how to & how hard it would be to remember upload state when moving back
2016-11-07
- As below, maybe we should shift the meeting time. Prateek proposes 3PM SF time, midnight CET, possibly as a supplement?
Mark
- Will be working on userscript for image description editing today...backlog of bug reports is now too long to ignore, apparently people are actually using it
- Nothing else seems to be pressing, unless anyone has anything they need me for...
Matthias
- Making sure that when going back in UW, input is preserved
James
- Back in SF! (for six weeks)
- Goal discussions vaguely planned.
- Funding proposal for structured data progressing, including a PM for multimedia/structured data, so that's cool.
2016-11-08
Prateek
- Feeling unproductive because not writing any code
- Reached the wireframing stage in FA process
- Missing you people :)
Matthias
- Making sure that when going back in UW, input is preserved
Mark
- I'm in a haze of election stuff today, so I'll try to be useful and work on editDescriptions.js, but there will be limited throughput
2016-11-09
Matthias
- Watching the news in disbelief
- Making preserving individual licenses (for multi-upload) work
Mark (failed to attend)
- Ditto news
- Thinking about taking today off. Pretty sure that will happen.
2016-11-10
Matthias
- Making preserving input when going back work - patches finally ready
Bartosz
- CR
- Looking at thumb issues on commons
2016-11-14
- Meeting time changes...looks like the "alternate meeting times" choice has some support, and I don't mind the idea.
Prateek (not attending)
- Boring stuff
- FA Design-
- Feeling overwhelmed with the hierarchies and loops in the new process
- See sketches at Phabricator
- Starting to document stuff on Phab
Mark
- Returns from a very long weekend, needed to stop and breathe for a moment
- Finally going to get around to the editDescriptions work that was promised last week.
- Any CR, bug input, anything else that is needed?
Matthias
- Fixing "copy all fields" in UW details step
- Addressing issue in series of refactoring patches
Bartosz
- Reviewing and merging Matthias's UW code for "Back" buttons
- Wrote some boring patches, replied to some emails
2016-11-15
- New meeting times starting Wednesday for M/W
Matthias
- Fixed issue with errored uploads not being cleared in some refactor patch
- Made failed uploads resumable after having gone back to tutorial step
- Made "copy all fields" widget work after failed upload submission
Mark
- Fixed (almost) all bugs in editDescriptions
- Gonna look through bugs and try to do some triage today...
James
- Evil plans for Parsing - should we have one for MM?
- MM software "just works" which is a nice problem to have
- Productify labs software? Gadgets?
- Share thoughts for projects if you have them
- JS linter switchover once Matthias's patches are merged
2016-11-16
- New time, same great taste.
Mark
- Did some triage...sort of. Will continue tomorrow. Nothing else really on my plate as far as I know.
- Will check Thumbor and ImageTweaks tomorrow to see if deployment is even close to possible.
James
- Quarterly goals. There may be two possible paths for this. Should discuss.
2016-11-17
- Metrics today
- QG planning probably coming soon
Matthias
- Refactoring the skip & reset routines in UW - I want those to be handled in mw.UploadWizard, not let the controllers moveNext() along
- Fixed unbind of removeUpload event handler
Mark
- A few things to look at from last night's meeting. FA security review, ImageTweaks, and Thumbor status in prod.
James
- QG due in ~6 days.
- meetings, meetings, more meetings
2016-11-22
- Thanksgiving in two days.
Mark
- Literally no update because I last spoke to the hangout 15 hours ago, about 6 of which was sleep, but the rest I was off.
- Gilles says Thumbor could be turned on in production in a couple days' work.
- Today: Triage, of various things. If you have ideas lmk
Matthias
- Cleaned up upload handling in UW (add/remove uploads)
- Removed/refactored a few pieces of code to get rid of "reset" code, then abandoned the patch we talked about last week
James

Mark
- Quixotic attempts to triage the Multimedia workboard continued today, probably also tomorrow.
- Will work on tomorrow: Security review checklist, possible first draft of FA announcement
James
- Administrivia

2016-11-29
- Note: Mark and James were the only two in attendance, and had spoken 15 hours prior, so the standup was cancelled.
Matthias (missing standup)
- Better error message when uploading when offline
- Looking into flaky ConcurrentQueue tests
2016-11-30
Mark
- More trudging through workboard today. Sigh. Probably will continue tomorrow. I have seen some things that need attention, but I'd like to finish triaging first.
- Looks like design work for FileAnnotations is continuing apace. Commented on all of the tasks.
Bartosz
- Missed a few days. Nothing interesting happened.
- Watching community tech survey.
- Filed some bugs!
