nrcernaHello Everyone!20:00
jelknerhello, nrcerna 20:00
ubuntouristHi20:00
nrcerna:)20:00
lelkneralfarohi20:00
abuchholzWhat an agenda20:00
nrcernayeah abuchholz 20:00
abuchholzI can hardly contain my excitement!20:00
nrcernalol20:01
nrcernaAlright, first item: Time to update our business plan (thoughts reflecting CISPES, AEA, and replaceafill) 20:01
jelknernrcerna, this is mine, and i'll combine it with item 220:01
nrcernasure20:01
jelknerbasically, it is about the path forward for LibreOrganize20:01
jelknerwe reached a point where aea was questioning whether they should stay with us20:02
jelknerzOnny went in and fixed that temporarily20:02
jelknerbut i'd like to be more proactive20:02
jelkneri think voting is key20:02
jelkneri've said that for a long time20:02
jelknerand am even willing to put some resources toward it20:03
jelknerbut i don't see much movement20:03
jelknerso i wanted to bring it up20:03
ubuntouristI know it's not ours from the ground up, but I recently sent mail about a voting system that could be self-hosted. 20:03
ubuntourist(I forget the specific URL, but I can search the e-mail quickly.)20:03
jelknerreplaceafull always thought we should focus like a laser on LO development20:03
nrcerna+120:03
jelknerwe decided we couldn't afford to do that20:04
jelknerproblem is, nrcerna, we have no funding20:04
jelknerfor that20:04
nrcernaI remember one of those talks with him jelkner 20:04
abuchholzJeff. What does AEA need for voting20:04
abuchholzIs it just groups?20:04
abuchholzCause the system works. Its just getting everyone accounts20:04
jelkneri need to be able to log in and see a vote20:05
jelkneronly available to members of the pac20:05
jelknerthey system should know who the members of the pac are20:05
ubuntouristACTION found it. It's what the resurrected Ubuntu Community Council is using: the Condorcet Internet Voting Service (CIVS)20:05
jelknerand they should be able to engage in organizing activity as the pac20:05
abuchholzYeah. I started working on this with Stefan we got groups working but then we decided to refactor.20:05
jelkneri also need to be able to vote as a worker at ACC20:05
abuchholzTherefore groups is one of the things we are working on in the refactor20:06
jelknerand not see votes for barcroft, barett, etc20:06
jelknersame thing with the board20:06
jelknerwe talked about all this20:06
abuchholzyea20:06
jelknerabuchholz, what more do you need to know?20:06
abuchholzI understand 20:06
abuchholzNothing, I am working on it20:06
jelknercool20:06
abuchholzAlong with the refactor20:06
abuchholzwe have groups implemented i just havent implmented the permissions into the polls app20:07
abuchholzif that makes sense20:07
jelknerok, on another note then, we seem to be making progress with the CMS20:07
jelknerthis is also *really* important20:07
jelknerin fact, it was what ingrid was complaining about the most20:07
jelknerso we need to keep checking back with her20:07
jelknerhow are things going?20:08
jelknerare you ready for more training?20:08
jelknerwhat are you needs?20:08
abuchholzIs this directed at me?20:08
jelknerno, abuchholz 20:08
nrcernawhy she was complaining? jelkner 20:08
nrcernaabout what?20:08
jelknernrcerna, she said she couldn't make changes to the site20:08
jelknerand members were complaining to her20:08
jelknerthat it wasn't up-to-date20:08
nrcernaYeah, but we tried to to anything that she and Alysha requested, on time20:09
jelkneri understand, nrcerna 20:09
jelknerdon't take it to heart20:09
nrcernaI know20:09
jelknershe was just passing on stress being directed at her20:09
jelknerthe point is, we need to be proactive20:09
nrcernaI just I was surprised that's all20:09
jelknerwe weren't20:09
jelknerso, we now have a good number of users20:09
abuchholzjelkner, groups can be done by the end of this month. We just need to finish the refactor which is priority atm because we are modifying a lot of LibreOrganize's source code20:10
jelknerCIDU, CJS, MSP, etc.20:10
abuchholzalso i recommend we move to the next thing on the list20:10
jelknergreat, abuchholz 20:10
nrcernasure20:10
jelknerACTION done20:10
nrcernaI propose to skip the next item jelkner since you already know lelkneralfaro answer about that20:10
lelkneralfaro+120:10
jelknerexcept, nrcerna 20:10
lelkneralfaronot in the notes....20:10
jelknerthat we need to address who will do it20:11
nrcernaOkay20:11
jelknerwe need someone to manage our financial data20:11
jelknerwho?20:11
nrcernaTurning over gnucash upkeep, a task for....who? 20:11

nrcernaI think this one is done as well: Ask nrcerna, zOnny, and lelkneralfaro to meet with Ajoke 20:17
nrcernayes20:17
nrcernaso last one: unfortunately, we owe lots of money to the DC government 20:17
ubuntouristACTION is not keeping up. Just learned that Zullip is a Python app originally written by none other than Jessica McKellar (and Tim Abbott)20:17
lelkneralfaromine... we covered it already in the chat? go for it again?20:17
ubuntouristACTION missed alot of that discussion. Recap appreciated. Or later.20:17
jelknerwell, only state here what we plan to do, lelkneralfaro 20:18
lelkneralfaroahh okay, ill give the report... so we have been missing payments to DC government and being fined every quarter for over a year20:18
lelkneralfarowhich has been adding up20:18
lelkneralfaropayments for DC Paid Family Leaves and Unemployment Insurance that is20:18
lelkneralfaroalthough really we havent owed taxes for a while since we haven't had any paid employees20:19
jelknerwho are they trying to charge, lelkneralfaro?20:19
ubuntouristlelkneralfaro, adding up to... roughly how much?20:19
lelkneralfarononetheless, it could be because we haven't filed the correct papers, or, we did owe taxes at some point which we didn't pay 20:19
lelkneralfaroubuntourist, $130020:20
lelkneralfaro$1302.51 I think, although i don't have the site up right now20:20
zOnnyHoly S*20:20
jelknernrcerna, please mention this to Ajoke20:20
lelkneralfarojelkner, nova web development20:20
ubuntouristroughly was close enough. ;-)20:20
jelknerwhich nova web development?20:20
jelknerthere are two20:21
lelkneralfaroubuntourist, lol ;)20:21
jelknerone dead20:21
jelknerone almost dead ;-)20:21
lelkneralfarojelkner, I don't think that is the case20:21
jelkneri know it is, lelkneralfaro 20:21
jelknersince ultimately it comes down to federal tax id20:21
lelkneralfarojelkner, I looked through the correspondence with DC20:21
jelknerand they are different20:21
lelkneralfarojelkner, ahhh good point20:21
lelkneralfarojelkner, you should have said that earlier20:21
jelkneranyway, to be continued20:21
jelknerlet's investigate and seek help20:22
nrcernaplease20:22
lelkneralfarobecause right now it is Nova Web LLC20:22
lelkneralfarobut the tax id is probably the old one20:22
ubuntouristAnd, in the "trust but verify" we're 100% it's the *real* DC government? (I recall a fee being paid in VA to a bogus group pretending to be government.)20:22
lelkneralfaroubuntourist, yes it's the real DC gov20:23
lelkneralfaroACTION done20:23
ubuntouristlelkneralfaro, I was fairly confident that was the case, but, though it prudent to check.20:23
lelkneralfaroubuntourist, yes it was a good thought20:24
jelknerok, let's move on20:24
jelknernrcerna, we're waiting for you...20:24
nrcernaAnything else?20:25
ubuntouristYes. 20:25

ubuntouristDC Stakeholders meeting: lelkneralfaro and I: We came, we hobbed, we nobbed. ;-)20:26
ubuntouristI sent a transcript of the chat from the video meeting to all.20:26
lelkneralfaroubuntourist, we did, not as good as the hob nobbing at the BCI thing, but it was good to ttend20:27
