jelknerso of course i write all my papers from the point of view of nova web development! ;-)09:28
jelknerbtw. do we have a git repo ready for our website yet?09:29

jelknerbut this is a you and GFbot thing, nrcerna 11:09
nrcernaYes, but we need to discuss this11:09
jelknerso, go ahead11:09
nrcernawe had a meeting about it with replaceafill on thursday11:09
jelknerexcellent11:09
jelknerand?11:10
nrcernaGFbort and I realized that to make it, we need the django admin11:10
jelkneroh sh*t!!!!11:10
nrcernaso that's the problem we enconuntered11:10
jelknerthat's a terrible problem11:10
nrcernareplaceafill tried to explain to us about that11:10
nrcernawe need to find the way to solve this without that11:11
nrcernaand make it work (boxes, navbars) to get there11:11
jelkner+111:11
jelknerwe need to find a way to solve that problem without11:11
nrcernaso we have a hard work to do this week jelkner11:11
jelknernrcerna, GFbot this is a good time to talk about NOVALACIRO11:12
jelknerNOVALACIRO has $7K available to spend on LibreOrganize11:12
nrcernasure11:12
jelknerwe ahve to use that strategically11:12
jelknersince if we spend it all and don't have a product ready at the end11:12
jelknerwe're finished11:12
jelknerbut11:12
jelknerNOVALACIRO *must* be bilingual11:13
ubuntouristOne awkward option is to have both languages on all pages and encourage everyone who uses stuff to to that. But I thought, w/ a wee bit o'11:13
jelknereven more than NOVA Web11:13
jelknerit can't not be11:13
jelknerso, let's meet with replaceafill and talk about how to make this happen11:13
jelkneronce we get it for NOVALACIRO, we'll get it for us11:13
ubuntouristJavaScript, you could ask the browser "What's your preferred language?" and auto display whatever that is.  (But I have zero knowledge of Tendenci.11:13
ubuntouristSo I don't know what I'm talking about.)11:14
jelknerthat's ok, ubuntourist 11:14
jelkneri don't think any of us know what to do now11:14
jelknerbut as replaceafill always says "its software"11:14
jelknerwe can do it11:14
jelknerits just how much work will it be11:14
jelknerso nrcerna, replaceafill gets back 10/1411:15
ubuntouristWell. No promises, but in theory, I now have a lot of time on my hands, since it's after October 1.11:15
jelknermaybe we can meet with him soon thereafter11:15
jelknercoo, ubuntourist 11:15
jelknerthat would be great11:15
jelknerok, to be continued11:15
nrcernabut replaceafiil is out, I mean he is coming the next week, so we could try with GFbot to keep moving on the apps we need to make work without the django admin11:15
jelknerACTION down for now11:15
nrcernaOk11:16
nrcernanext item11:16
nrcernaProvide -- and use -- SVG images wherever possible (ubuntourist) 11:16
nrcernaI uploaded the color version we used with GFbot here : https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1_P3INrsw37eOfuAp5wDif8SlU4X1Wn1v?usp=sharing11:17
ubuntouristYeah. Pretty straight-forward request. I could try but I figure it's best left to the experts.11:17
nrcernaubuntourist11:17
ubuntouristGreat. There's one item done quickly.11:17
ubuntouristACTION is done with that...11:17

nrcernaGallaudet RERC / Sound Advice - The money is done. So ubuntourist is in limbo... (ubountourist)11:21
ubuntouristThat means NOVA is done with it.11:21
ubuntouristACTION done with ARA11:21
nrcernasomething else?11:21
ubuntouristSound Advice: 11:21
ubuntouristThe contract for last year finished October 1.  There's a MUCH smaller contract that, I believe has been signed, sealed, delivered, but it will be an "on call"11:22
ubuntouristarrangement: The new contract is to help transfer the project to11:23
jelknerthat means ubuntourist has free time to work with SITarabuta 11:23

GFboti want to talk about the linode email jelkner11:28
jelknergo for GFbot 11:28
ubuntouristnrcerna, SITarabuta looked at the SVG and said it appeared to be a bit blurry... How did you generate it?11:28
GFbotthe invoices that you send are from the last month right?11:28
jelknerwhile ubuntourist and nrcerna are talking11:28
jelkneryou and i can talk about that11:28
jelkneryes11:28
jelknerit just came in11:28
ubuntouristnrcerna, If it got generated from the PNG, that will not scale as an SVG should... (It will always be a bit fuzzy.)11:29
GFbotjelkner because now if you check linode i deleted some of the linodes11:29
GFbotthat we are not using.11:29
jelknerexcellent11:29
jelknerso next month will be cheaper11:29
ubuntouristnrcerna, I MAY have a "more pure" SVG of the NWD logo, but definitely not the LO logo.11:29
jelknerthat's good, GFbot 11:29
jelkneri know we have expenses11:29
jelknerthat's to be expected11:29
jelknerwe just don't want to waste resources11:30
jelknersince we have so little11:30
GFbotjelkner yea, i hope next month will be cheaper.11:30
jelkneri was telling SITarabuta that perhaps later we can find ways to economize further11:30
nrcernaOh, I took that png a few years ago, but I can search the SVG one (jelkner mentiones that is on gitlab) ubunturist11:30
GFbotjelkner just let me know if that happens11:30
jelknerby combinging sites on a single server11:30
jelkneri'm not sure nrcerna 11:30
jelknerbut we want it there if its not11:31
ubuntouristnrcerna, (I have not yet looked at the images on Google Drive, so I'm acting based on what SITarabuta saw.)11:31
jelkneri just remember us talking about this before11:31
jelknerit might be google drive11:31
SITarabutanrcerna, they were very pixelated, like the were low-resolution11:31
nrcernadid he opened the GDrive link? ubuntourist?11:31
ubuntouristubuntourist, OK. And is the LibreOffice pure SVG? 11:31
jelknerGFbot, after ubuntourist finishes with nrcerna, lets talk about NOVALACIRO with nrcerna and hrodriguez 11:31
nrcernadid he opened the GDrive link? ubuntourist?11:32
nrcernai'm looking it now11:32
ubuntouristnrcerna, Yup. He opened whatever you sent in today's meeting.11:33
nrcernaI think the better way to solve this is get the "original SVG file" ubuntourist11:33
ubuntouristnrcerna, (I think he only opened the NWD logo, not the LibreOrganize logo.) Let me see if I have a "purer" SVG logo, and I'll pass that on.11:34
nrcernaplease, ubuntourist11:34
ubuntouristThe reason I was asking is that I'm going to change the footer for the Gallaudet ARA / RAGU project to our logo. (I've already added z0nny's name as one of the developers.)11:34
ubuntouristACTION is done then. He will send his best logo onward.11:35
SITarabutaACTION gracefully leaves the chatroom.11:36
jelknernrcerna, let's chat11:37
jelknerthis conversation involves GFbot, hrodriguez, jelkner, and nrcerna 11:37
jelknerthe topic is NOVALACIRO11:37
jelknernrcerna, let me know when you're ready11:37
GFbotshe's away no11:38
GFbotnow*11:38
GFbotlets wait for her11:38
GFbot:D11:38
jelkner+111:38
nrcernaI'm back11:40
nrcernasorry11:40
jelknernp11:40
jelknerready, nrcerna 11:40
jelkner?11:40
nrcernayes11:40
jelknerok, basically, we need to figure out the next steps for LibreOrganize11:40
jelkneri wasn't expecting the huge problem with bilingual support11:41
jelknerbut we need that so much, i think it is the top priority11:41
jelkneralso, novalaciro is the organization with the dedicated donation for LibreOrganize11:41
jelknerso they have funds for this11:41
jelknerand we need to keep that in mind11:42
jelknerso, nrcerna11:42
jelkneri am going to file issues on our website11:42
jelknerin the gitlab link you gave me11:42
jelknertagging them appropriately11:42
jelknerthose can be fixed11:42
jelknerpretty easily methinks11:43
jelknerso the bigger issue11:43
jelkneris starting work on the novalaciro website11:43
jelknerGFbot, while we know we need to do something about this eventually11:43
jelkneryou are the only dev we have who can hack on LibreOrganize11:43
jelknerit is a complex system11:44
jelknerzOnny doesn't have time with his new job11:44
GFbothmm11:45
jelknerand SItarabuta will take awhile before he's ready to contribute anything11:45
jelknerso while we help train him11:45
jelknerGFbot, you're the man!11:45
jelknernrcerna and GFbot are our only full time people11:46
jelknerso you two are key in any event11:46
jelknerwe need full time people11:46
jelknerand can only afford you two at this point11:46
jelknernrcerna, what do you think?11:46
nrcernayou're right jelkner11:47
jelknerso, nrcerna, what do you think we should do next?11:47
jelknerwe have the following funds available:11:47
jelknernovalaciro: $7K11:48
jelkneraea: $1K11:48
nrcernaI mean, we need to continue, but we need to think that even if we are the only fulltime, 11:48
nrcernais going to take time to get there11:48
jelkner+111:48
jelknerit's a marathon, not a sprint11:48
jelknerslow and steady11:48
jelknerwe need to keep making progress11:49
jelknerthe tricky part, nrcerna 11:49
jelkneris that we need to show off something to have a shot at funding11:49
jelknerso we need to focus on that11:49
jelknerour new website looks great, btw!11:49
jelknerit is beautiful11:50
jelknernice work!11:50
jelknerso that kind of thing helps11:50
jelknerthink about english / spanish11:50
jelknerand novalaciro11:50
jelknerwe can't bill novaliciro until we can setup their new website11:50
jelknerthat's why hrodriguez is here now11:50
jelkneri did not anticipate the language problem11:50
jelknerthey absolutely must have a bilingual website11:51
jelknerACTION done11:51
jelknernrcerna, what do you think?11:52
jelknertalk to me, nrcerna 11:52
GFbotwe need to migrate novalaciro to tendenci1111:52
nrcernayes jelkner, we are discussing this with GFbot11:52
nrcernato let you know11:52
jelknerGFbot, to LibreOrganize you mean11:52
GFbotright11:52
GFbotbut theres a problem11:52
jelknerseems like there's always a problem :-(11:53
GFbotwe need to update or create a new app that change the languages11:53
jelkner+111:53
GFbotthat will take time11:53
GFbotand you "dont have time"11:53
GFbot:(11:53
jelknerGFbot, they have $$ to pay you to do that11:53
nrcernaIt happens beacuse we forked tendenci jelkner11:53
nrcernareplaceafill told us is  trade off11:53
nrcernajelkner11:53
jelkneryes, i know11:53
jelkneri don't know what choice we have11:54
jelkneri can tell you that having an ugly confusing megamenu with 30 unused items is a show stopper11:54
jelknerwe can't do that11:54
jelknerwho would want to fund that?11:54
jelknerwho would want to use it?11:54
jelknerso we need the kind of thing you just showed me11:55
jelknerpretty, elegant, usable11:55
jelknerour new website11:55
jelknerwe need that11:55
jelknerso we had no choice11:55
nrcernawe know, and also we agree that we have a functional web app (meaning 70/30)11:55
jelkner70/30?11:55
jelkneryou mean 70 percent done?11:56
nrcernaIt seems like we are done at 70%11:56
jelkner+111:56
jelkneryes, i agree11:56
jelknerand what we have looks great11:56
jelknerthat is *so* important11:56
jelknerwe are strong on design, nrcerna 11:56
jelknerwe need to take advantage of that11:56
jelknerso while we wait for GFbot to work on NOVALACIRO11:57
jelkneryou and i can work on an english only nova web development website11:57
nrcernawe always are going to have this struggle , I mean its one thing of this job, keep leaning how to solve this kind of issues11:57
jelknerready to reaching out to customers looking for design work11:57
jelknersince we can do that now11:57
nrcernaI propose something11:57
jelknergo for it11:57
nrcernawe can star the desing (meaning layout) for NOVALACIRO, we can work on that as we did with NWD website (is a separate app "custom pages)11:58
jelkner+111:59
nrcerna(in our dev instance)11:59
jelknerdo it in spanish first11:59
jelknerbut we can't go live with it until it is both11:59
jelknerand work with hrodriguez on that11:59
nrcernaand then we can try to figure it out how to shoot two birds with one bullet11:59
jelkner+111:59
nrcernameaning billingual for NOVALACIRO and NWD11:59
jelknerahh, we use stones here, but i guess a bullet would be easier ;-)12:00
jelknersorry, nrcerna that was an attempt at humor12:00
nrcernanp jaja12:01
jelknerthe idiom here is to "kill two birds with one stone"12:01
nrcernasure, I learned something new :D12:01
nrcernathanks12:01
jelknerso, nrcerna that sounds like a good plan12:02
jelknerlet's do it12:02
nrcernaOk12:02
jelknerhrodriguez will be your customer for that site12:03
jelknerjust like i am (we all are, but i'll be most active) on our own site12:03
nrcernawe are going to do it, GFbot is going to push the progress and work everything on dev instance12:03
jelknernice12:03
jelknerok, i'm going to sign off so i can get to work12:03
