a t-shirt mockup with the text 'I made 1,000 musicbrainz edits and all i got was this lousy t-shirt' printed on it in a simple font
a black t-shirt mockup with a rad black metal rendering of text reading 'metabrainz'
a t-shirt mockup with the text metabrainz in a psychedelic font, with a tentacle elephant with three eyes underneath it
A t-shirt mockup with a vaporwave futuristic cityscape design, with a fluro metabrainz text and a transparent cassette behind it. the cassette has 'whenever you need somebody' written on it.
We dropped a couple of merch designs today! As well as the recent drop of summit shirt illustrations.
A ‘new notes!?’ sticker/magnet and “I made 1,000 edits and all I got was this lousy T-shirt”. Rumours abound of secret versions available to high-scorers only…

OK, the GSoC chaos is getting too much.
Important: If you can't follow meeting etiquette then joining the meeting will *not* do your GSoC application any favours! -a

Thank you to everyone who has shared their memories of Rob.
The team wanted to share some of his MetaBrainz story and our personal experiences with the master of mayhem, and this blog post has emerged:

We miss you Rob.

It is with profound sadness that the MetaBrainz Board of Directors announces the unexpected passing of our Founder and Executive Director, Rob Kaye.
Robert’s vision and leadership shaped MeB and left a lasting mark on the music industry and open source movement.

True, many Asian comics are missing. I think they @popfeed.social and @bookhive.buzz mainly rely on Goodreads data since it's currently the biggest. If only @bookbrainz.org started at the same time as @musicbrainz.org we would've an open literature database by now.

We have made some auth changes.

"...they insist on loading all of MusicBrainz one page at a time. This of course would take hundreds of years to complete and is utterly pointless. In doing so, they are overloading our servers..."

Lots of reviews, one in particular that you'll be very happy about - zas' bot-detector is stable and deployed! Here's hoping that those awful AI/bot-crawler slowdowns are a thing of the past -a

This one's a doozy! Heaps of people have been busy, mayhem resigned from the EU open source academy, and zas has worked on a bot/AI detector that was snuck into prod to test. Didn't notice? Success! -a
