| Big_Brother | Big picture planning for developing our product | 10:30 |
| louisea | Good morning everyone! | 10:30 |
| replaceafill | good morning guys | 10:30 |
| *** Rena_ has joined #novawebdev | 10:30 | |
| louisea | jelkner, these look like your agenda points | 10:30 |
| louisea | so want to take it away? | 10:31 |
| jelkner | cool | 10:33 |
| jelkner | well, even though i added them to the agenda | 10:34 |
| jelkner | i would say louisea and replaceafill are mostly responsible for the 1st one | 10:34 |
| jelkner | i was figuring i would get on my soap box for number 2 | 10:35 |
| louisea | okay, well I'll give a recap of what replaceafill and I have been discussing | 10:35 |
| louisea | and I think that is one part of the big picture | 10:35 |
| jelkner | +1 | 10:36 |
| louisea | I think where were at with replaceafill's level of knowledge with tendenci, and the practical experience coming from the Arlington OR project | 10:36 |
| louisea | puts us in a good position to be able to search for new clients. | 10:37 |
| louisea | I mentioned that I noticed that Democratic Socialists of America's site says that are looking for an alternative to Nation Builder | 10:39 |
| louisea | and there are perhaps other potential customers | 10:39 |
| jelkner | replaceafill, would you agree that our "business fantasy" as ubuntourist would put it is to become a local Tendenci support business? | 10:39 |
| jelkner | There are several CiviCRM businesses, for example, including one here in DC. | 10:40 |
| jelkner | Our focus is on supporting Tendenci | 10:40 |
| louisea | so I think what's needed is to organize the plan for who we will be soliciting and concrete proposals on what we can provide them | 10:40 |
| jelkner | and yes, reaching out to DSA makes sense. | 10:40 |
| jelkner | replaceafill, are you here? | 10:41 |
| replaceafill | jelkner, well, yes, i think we have enough knowledge to help orgs like OR Arlington and NEA4OR | 10:41 |
| replaceafill | where tendenci fits well | 10:41 |
| replaceafill | i'm still hesitant to see Tendenci as a CRM solution | 10:42 |
| jelkner | what do you mean by that? | 10:42 |
| jelkner | this is the conversation we need to have | 10:42 |
| ubuntourist | Is there anywhere we can eat our own dog food? | 10:43 |
| jelkner | we all (but especially louisea, who will be mainly marketing), needs a clear idea of what our product is | 10:43 |
| replaceafill | i mean, i consider one of tendenci's strengths, the one we should focus on, is its membership handling | 10:43 |
| replaceafill | or management | 10:43 |
| replaceafill | jelkner, yeah, we've talked about this with louisea recently | 10:43 |
| jelkner | understood, but now is the chance to bring everyone else into the conversation | 10:44 |
| replaceafill | sure, i understand | 10:44 |
| replaceafill | so, in an app like nation builder | 10:44 |
| replaceafill | or the ones like that, you focus on managing data ABOUT people and do something with it | 10:45 |
| replaceafill | systems like Tendenci expect members (not contacts) to be using the system | 10:46 |
| louisea | I think in the case of nationbuilder and Democratic Socialists of America, they will be more interested in a tendenci like system, not a data management clerical program | 10:46 |
| jelkner | +1 | 10:46 |
| replaceafill | cool | 10:46 |
| jelkner | they are interested in "power to the people" | 10:47 |
| louisea | well, that's not exactly my point | 10:47 |
| jelkner | so yes, a Tendenci like system is what they would want | 10:47 |
| louisea | although it may be true | 10:47 |
| ubuntourist | (Since all my energy has and continues to be focused on Gallaudet, I've largely ignored the whole OR and Tendenci push, but if there's a smaller scale use case to poke a stick at, it might come in handy.) | 10:47 |
| louisea | I mean to say that I think they are looking for a membership management software | 10:48 |
| jelkner | ubuntourist, OR Arlington is a nice size use case, methinks | 10:48 |
| jelkner | an "everyone fits in one large" room size | 10:48 |
| louisea | even an organization that is not a "power to the people" organization can be interested in such a software | 10:48 |
| jelkner | so people know each other and work fairly closely together | 10:48 |
| replaceafill | jelkner, ubuntourist and with specific need we can address | 10:49 |
| replaceafill | jelkner, ubuntourist like the meeting management | 10:49 |
| replaceafill | where tendenci's events have fit really really well | 10:49 |
| replaceafill | i think that's the kind of needs we can support with tendenci | 10:50 |
| jelkner | and as replaceafill and i discussed, the place where we can add to Tendenci will be in things like online voting | 10:50 |
| louisea | so, to wrap this part up, I'd like to continue working with replaceafill to clarify what we can offer and then put together some outreach materials | 10:50 |
| jelkner | which should closely integrate with the "membership focus" of the platform | 10:50 |
| louisea | then reach out | 10:50 |
| jelkner | +1 | 10:50 |
| replaceafill | quick question just to finish this | 10:50 |
| ubuntourist | (FYI 10:50. Not that it concerns me much, but I know our elected House of Delegation person likes to keep the meeting schedule on a tight leash.) | 10:51 |
| replaceafill | lazy question actually | 10:51 |
| louisea | my favorite kind | 10:51 |
| replaceafill | do anyone remember if we found an alternative to helios in the past (a voting system)? | 10:51 |
| replaceafill | does* | 10:51 |
| jelkner | i don't think so | 10:51 |
| jelkner | helios was our alternative | 10:51 |
| replaceafill | i kind of remember we did, i can look in my mails/logs | 10:51 |
| replaceafill | jelkner, ok cool | 10:51 |
| replaceafill | ACTION done on this | 10:52 |
| jelkner | ok, for number 2 | 10:52 |
| jelkner | we need to get our "Tendenci team" working efficiently together | 10:52 |
| jelkner | that will mainly be replaceafill, zOnny, Rena_, mr_german | 10:53 |
| jelkner | with help from mjsir911 | 10:53 |
| jelkner | as we grow, we will need to grow the team | 10:53 |
| jelkner | but if we are going to have a minimal viable product | 10:53 |
| jelkner | we need to be able to deliver on this to customer's satisfaction | 10:54 |
| jelkner | OR Arlington is our test case | 10:54 |
| jelkner | so we should really push on that | 10:54 |
| jelkner | that's all i have | 10:54 |
| jelkner | Rena_, do you have a time line for styling work? | 10:54 |
| Rena_ | I do not yet. But I have a lot of time now. | 10:55 |
| jelkner | Please work closely with replaceafill and move as quickly as you can | 10:55 |
| Rena_ | I just moved back yesterday and am all set up now | 10:55 |
| jelkner | great | 10:55 |
| replaceafill | Rena_, we should meet early next week if possible | 10:56 |
| replaceafill | Rena_, i'd like to show you a few new things we have discovered about theming | 10:56 |
| replaceafill | Rena_, and discuss with you a plan for that | 10:57 |
| Rena_ | Ok. The only plans I have for the near future is Star wars tonight | 10:57 |
| Rena_ | Any other time I can plan around | 10:57 |
| ubuntourist | Rena_ :-) | 10:57 |
| replaceafill | :S | 10:57 |
| replaceafill | Rena_, i'll contact you through email, ok? | 10:58 |
| Rena_ | K | 10:58 |
| replaceafill | we should figure out how to involve zOnny on this jelkner | 10:58 |
| jelkner | we were just having a live side chat on that | 10:59 |
| replaceafill | mr_german is already familiar with this part | 10:59 |
| jelkner | i propose you and Rena_ go it solo on round 1 | 10:59 |
| replaceafill | jelkner, sure | 10:59 |
| jelkner | and then once you have something working, mjsir911 will work with zOnny to duplicate it | 10:59 |
| Rena_ | K | 10:59 |
| replaceafill | cool | 10:59 |
| louisea | alright, does that do it? | 11:00 |
| jelkner | for now, zOnny will work with louisea on our "paying customers" | 11:00 |
| jelkner | National Hospital and Barbara Chambers | 11:01 |
| jelkner | our 30 minutes are up | 11:01 |
| louisea | cool. I'll make sure to keep in touch with zOnny in regards to that | 11:01 |
| louisea | alright then that's it | 11:01 |
| louisea | ACTION drops the bag of gravel | 11:02 |
| louisea | talk to you all soon! | 11:02 |
| replaceafill | thanks everybody | 11:02 |
| jelkner | next week from NJ | 11:02 |
| jelkner | replaceafill, i'm waiting for a ping from you | 11:04 |
| jelkner | to send an email to the OR Arl SC | 11:05 |
| jelkner | asking them to sign up | 11:05 |
| jelkner | I'll ask for louisea to be put at the beginning of the 1/8 meeting agenda at the same time | 11:05 |
| replaceafill | jelkner, can we wait at least this week? | 11:06 |
| jelkner | at least this week, yes, but not much more | 11:06 |
| replaceafill | jelkner, i'd like to try theming their instance first | 11:06 |
| jelkner | 1/8 is fast approaching | 11:06 |
| replaceafill | jelkner, at least change to a 21st century looking theme | 11:06 |
| jelkner | understood | 11:07 |
| jelkner | let's stay in close communication this week | 11:08 |
| replaceafill | jelkner, sure | 11:08 |
| jelkner | since we are putting all our eggs in the OR Arl basket for now, we need to make sure they hatch! ;-) | 11:09 |
| replaceafill | jelkner, indeed :D | 11:10 |
| jelkner | okie dokie, talk to you later | 11:10 |
| jelkner | ACTION signs off | 11:10 |
| replaceafill | later jelkner | 11:10 |
