Logbook, week 9 (2019-06)

Development

@jovuit started to work on translations contextualization which should improve the overall quality of Funkwhale translations, by giving more context to translators, leading to more accurate translations.

One issue was found in one of our dependency, breaking user uploads, and I spent some time investigating that and working on a fix.

Two interesting feature requests were also submitted:

• A cleaner, dedicated user interface to make Funkwhale's web UI look better and less cluttered, and could be useful in bars, or when you have friends home, by @OniriCorpe
• The ability to hide specific artists from the UI, to avoid being exposed to NSFW content or content that makes you uncomfortable in general. The issue was opened by me, but the initial suggestion comes from @milia

Project management

Funkwhale Sync #3 will take place this sunday, at 16:00 (CET), and we'll discuss our progress on the non-profit and our next steps.

Another key topic is the lack of diversity in Funkwhale's community and the concrete actions we should take to ensure the situation improves.

Please, join us if have something to say on that matters! The tool we use for the meeting has an embeded text chat you can use instead of a microphone to share your questions and insights during the meeting.

Personal

This week was short, and I multi-tasked a lot, which is not something I'm really good at. I feel a bit tired because of that and the week-end I spent in Brussels, at Fosdem 2019.

I expect next week to be calmer, especially since Funkwhale Sync #3 will be over ;)

See you next week!
