jelkneri'll have to type the agenda19:00
jelkner1. quick status of business (mainly forms team guanaco needs to complete) from louisea19:00
jelkner2. plan for adding security access to our info on customer data19:01
jelkner3. let's get some paying customers!19:01
jelknerThat's all i have19:01
jelkneranything i'm missing?19:01
louiseanope that sounds good to me19:02
*** nrcerna has joined #NovaWebDev19:02
ubuntouristNothing leaps to mind. Anything from PyCon?19:02
jelknertake it away, louisae19:02
louiseaalright... So I finished up a document listing all the tax forms we will need19:02
louiseaI'll send it out now...19:03
louiseapeople can look over it and ask any questions by sending me an email19:03
louiseaif they are interested.19:03
jelknerhow are you sending it out, email?19:03
louiseayes19:03
jelkneror pasting it here?19:03
louiseaif that's best?19:03
louiseashall I paste it instead?19:03
jelknersure19:03
jelknerit will be easier to find that way19:04
ubuntourist(jelkner says nothing of relevance regarding PyCon, at the moment.)19:04
louiseahttps://docs.google.com/document/d/12H95WiUwrq3kxqh9kSfErdXSlmD5pvW-Wl7kqCXmiAI/edit?usp=sharing19:04
jelknerGreat19:04
louiseaI've also put it into the "GettingDowntoBusiness" Google Drive folder19:04
louiseawhat's most imporant regarding our taxes right now is making sure that everyone who needs one has their ITIN19:05
jelknerthe big thing is we need tax ids from replaceafill, mr_german, and ncerna19:05
jelknerreplaceafill has one, how are you young cerna's doing?19:05
replaceafilljelkner, i'm planning a team visit to the embassy19:06
jelknersweet19:06
jelknerso you're on top of that19:06
replaceafilljelkner, yes19:06
jelknerok, item 219:06
louiseaone sec..19:06
jelknersorry19:06
replaceafilllouisea, question19:06
nrcernaHello19:06
louiseareplaceafill: out of curiosity could you please let me know if they require anything other than filling out the W-719:06
replaceafillshould we (team guanaco) take care of all the other forms? or just W-7?19:07
replaceafill:D19:07
louiseareplaceafill: for now just the W-719:07
louiseawe haven't yet come up with a team plan on how we are to tackle all the tax forms19:07
replaceafilllouisea, ok19:07
replaceafillin any case the w-7 is a must for us19:07
louiseabut only the ITIN is required at this moment19:08
jelkneri'm thinking we are ok for now, the big thing is getting some money to report! ;-)19:08
replaceafill:D19:08
jelknerthen we can worry about legally reporting it19:08
louiseaand one more thing19:08
louisearegarding all this tax stuff19:08
louiseaI foresee that not everyone is going to be required to be highly involved in filling out the forms19:09
jelkneri'm sure ubuntourist is glad to hear that!19:09
louiseanonetheless, it's a good idea for people to look over the document I sent out so that everyone is educated on how the business is being run19:10
* ubuntourist was thinking the exact same thing...19:10
jelkner+119:10
louiseaat least to some extent, lol19:10
replaceafillmr_german, and nrcerna should be aware of this part:19:10
replaceafillMust withhold foreign partner tax (35%) (Section 1446)19:10
louiseareplaceafill: yes, that's going to be the big thing for me to investigate now19:11
louiseaI have a hunch that some of the money withheld can be recovered during tax return season19:11
louiseabut I am uncertain of that as of now19:11
replaceafilllouisea, ah ok19:12
replaceafillthanks19:12
louiseaokay that's it for me unless there are other questions or comments19:12
jelknerok, we want our meetings to stay within 30 minutes and we have two more items, can we move on?19:12
jelkneritem 2 can be really brief19:13
jelknersince we can talk more about it next week19:13
jelknerwe need a much better way to secure our customer information19:13
jelknerwhich should meet the following requirements:19:13
jelkner1. only those members working for a particular customer should have access to the information19:14
jelkner2. it should be as secure as possible from accidental release19:15
jelkner3. but flexible enough that as teams change and folks come on or off a project, access can be modified19:15
jelknersound reasonable?19:15
jelkneror am i missing things?19:15
replaceafillmakes sense to me19:16
replaceafillbut are we talking about docs?19:16
replaceafillrepositories?19:16
jelkneri'm hoping we can convince ubuntourist and mjsir911 to take this on19:16
jelknerdocs19:16
ubuntouristGPG can meet requirement 1. Requirement 2 = Human error.  We must be diligent / vigilant. 3. GPG again.19:16
jelknerwith things like user names and passwords, etc19:17
jelknerubuntourist and mjsir911, are you two willing to develop our practice on this for us?19:17
* ubuntourist nods19:17
* mjsir911 nodes19:17
jelknergreat19:17
jelknernext week we all find out what we need to learn19:17
jelknerthanks!19:17
jelkneritem 319:17
jelknerwe need paying customers!19:17
jelknerlouisea, you might have one for us, yes?19:18
louiseamaybe19:18
louiseawe are waiting for a response19:18
jelknerand you are interested in looking into finding more, yes?19:19
louiseawhich will take about another week19:19
louiseaand jelkner: yes, definitely19:19
jelknergreat19:19
louiseain regards to point 3, I have a few points to discuss19:19
louiseashall I?19:19
jelkneri think we can put documents and bylaws and such on hold and pop customers to the top of the priority list19:19
jelkneryes, please19:19
louiseajelkner: I agree19:20
louiseaso in my conversation regarding whether we can have someone develop the website for the organization I work for19:20
louiseaquestions regarding support, communications and billing came up19:20
louiseain order for me to sound more confident in my pitches19:20
louiseaI'll have to have this information more well-versed19:21
jelkner+119:21
louiseaso, for example, if we have a team member from El Salvador working on website19:21
louiseawhat will be the process for that developer communicating with the customer?19:22
jelknermr_german worked directly with celina on her website19:22
jelknerthey used email and some voice communication thing19:22
louiseathrough phone and email?19:22
jelknernot phone per se19:22
ubuntouristlouisea Hangouts19:23
louiseaunderstood19:23
jelknerwhat was it, mr_german?19:23
mr_germanjelkner, that's right19:23
ubuntouristlouisea (as an option)19:23
jelknerit's an app, mr_german19:23
jelknerthat let's you make phone calls19:23
ubuntouristoops: Jelkner says somethign else.19:23
jelknerwhat was it?19:23
mr_germanwhatsapp?19:23
jelknerthat's it19:23
mr_germanwe used "whatsapp"19:23
jelknerseems many salvadorans are familiar with that19:24
jelknermy wife told me about it19:24
jelkneranyway, we can easily work it out19:24
louiseayeah. great so voice/email19:24
louiseagot it19:24
jelkneras long as both parties have smartphones19:24
ubuntouristQuite popular outside the U.S. And within for people in the know who have phones, as I understand it.19:24
louiseaand the other thing is that it would be nice to be able to nail down a better cost estimate19:25
ubuntourist(Not having a portable phone, I am less versed in it.)19:25
jelknerin general, louisea, you can say the following (with confidence in your voice):19:25
jelkner"We are IT professionals, and quite used to working these things out."19:25
jelkner"Trust us!" ;-)19:25
louiseahaha. I'll say just that.19:26
jelkneronce you've done this a few times19:26
jelknerit will be much easier to say it with conviction19:26
jelknersince we really can figure these things out19:26
ubuntouristlouisea, stress the iterative nature: We don't sock it to you all at once. Small payments, pay-as-you-go.19:26
jelknerit's what we do19:26
jelknerok, last point i would like to make is to take stock of our available human resources19:27
louiseaubuntutourist: yes, I will make sure to stress that19:27
jelknerRena is available for Summer19:27
jelknerI am committed to keeping mr_german and z0nny busy at least part time, but they want more hours if we can get them19:28
louiseaokay great.19:28
jelkneramanuel and mjsir911 have paid Summer internships19:28
jelknerbut in the long run, they want to work with us19:29
jelknermjsir911 will still keep doing 5 hours per week at Gallaudet in the mean time19:29
jelknerthat's pretty much it19:29
ubuntouristOne last thing (briefly a prior thing, really)19:29
jelknerwe have capacity19:29
jelknershoot19:29
ubuntouristRe: Item 2 - Although some formatting was lost when the page was moved, recommended (re)reading before next week: 19:29
