MusicBrainz Summit/23

Summit 23 is happening between October 2 and 6 2023, at MetaBrainz HQ in Barcelona, Spain.

Notes:

• mayhem suggests we leave Monday open for a hacking/whatever day
• atj assumes people will arrive on the weekend to acclimate before the summit
• chocolates :)
• There will be a robotic cocktail party at Mayhem's house on the evening of the 29th.

Schedule of Events

Each day we'll gather in the morning in the office, where we'll have breakfast. Come when you are ready to come. Lunch will be in the office at 13:00 and we'll start our afternoon meetings each day at 14:00.

Each day we're going to tackle big topics and then once the big topics are taken care of, we'll ask for smaller topics that others wish to talk about:

• Mornings, until 13:00: Be in the office, talk to people, catch up, whatever.
• Lunch, 13:00 - 14:00: Lunch in the office, brought in from local places.
• Big topics: 14:00 - 17:00 -- see agenda.
• Ad hoc topics: 17:00 - 19:30
• Dinner, at a restaurant, at 20:30.

Agenda

Big topics to discuss and who needs to be present:

• MB form submission flow (bitmap, outsidecontext, reosarevok, yvanzo)
• MB edit search load (bitmap, reosarevok, yvanzo)
• …

Other topics:

• Why do we not bring napkins to the summits?
• Use projector to see remote participants, put irc on a screen
• Big red light for remote participants to put their hand up
• Don't use orange pens on the whiteboard

Hack sessions

Because we'll have most of the team in the same place it might make sense to have a few in-person informal hack sessions to get some projects off the ground. Ideas:

• Key signing party throughout the week
• Picard packaging design (outsidecontext & aerozol)
• Running MusicBrainz Server on Windows (yvanzo & aerozol)
• Code signing of MetaBrainz apps: experience in Picard, applicable to other distributed MB software? (outsidecontext, zas, lucifer, rob, ???)
• …

Headquarters & Lodgings

We'll be at OfficeBrainz.

We'll be at this AirBnb from the 29th until the 7th (AirBnB 1). We may book additional lodgings closer to the summit.
