jelknerwe'll need to pay her something for her time15:29
scooperI done understand 15:29

jelknerthat's the plan15:30
jelknerwhat don't you understand?15:30
scooperAbout you asking dhernandez15:30
jelknernow i don't understand :-(15:31
scooperWhat are you really talking about???15:31
jelknerlet me try to explain and see if this helps15:31
scooperok15:31
jelkneras it is now, the MCSS website is running in a web application written in Django called LibreOrganize15:32
scooperOK I think you said this before15:32
jelknerweb pages are generated dynamically, and the process is complicated15:32
scooperWe are moving to a static website right???15:32
jelknerfor the next few years, you, jkoleah, fkoikoi_ won't have the skills to manage that15:33
jelknerso i want to convert it to a technology you will be able to manage on your own15:33
jelkneryou, scooper, already know HTML and CSS15:33
jelknerand we are teaching jkoleah and fkoikoi_ 15:33
jelknerand the others, but they will take much longer to be ready to contribute15:33
jelknerso, let's use the tech we know15:34
scooperI got you that is the main reason I want us talk by 8pm my time Jeff15:36
jelknerscooper, AntonioA is here now15:36
jelknerwe all need to try to get to know each other15:36
scooperIs AntonioA Aaron??15:36
jelknerNO! ;-)15:36
scooperI almost ask why he keep changing his name15:37
jelknerso, scooper, let me explain15:37
jelknerLoL15:37
jelknerAaron is thehedgeh0g 15:37
scooperI know15:38
jelknerAntonioA, is Antonio15:38
jelknerAntonioA and Luke are learning Django15:38
jelknerthehedgeh0g, is a system admin15:38
jelknerlike tmickelson15:38
jelknerso, when we need help setting up servers, learning to use screen, and stuff like that15:39
jelknerwe go to thehedgeh0g and tmickelson15:42
jelknerfor this new task, porting a LibreOrganize website out of LibreOrganize, we primarly need a web designer15:42
jelknerthat would be Dafni Hernandez15:43
jelknerbut she will need help from AntonioA and Luke15:43
scooperJeff I will like to make few recommendation from my end15:43
jelknersince she needs to learn how to make static html web pages from Django templates15:43
jelknerplease, sd15:43
jelknerscooper, 15:43
jelknerscooper, what about the laptop for Jallah?15:44
jelknerToday is the last day before the break, yes?15:44
jelkner*PLEASE* let him take one.15:45
jelknerSince the Supe didn't respond15:45
jelknerI will take responsibility15:45
scooperJeff, I not against Jallah in any way, more beside I talked with you before to allow Jallah to join us right15:45
jelknerYes, I know15:46
jelknerbut he needs a laptop today15:46
jelkneror he won't have one during the break15:46
jelknerso let's make sure that happens15:46
jelknerwe don't have time to waste15:46
scooperSo giving him a computer is not a problem but Mr. Zawolo have to approve of it right, or do you want me lost this little job??15:46
jelknerscooper, i am telling you to do it.15:46
jelknerif the Supe has a problem, i will tell him to fire me, not you15:47
scooperIf Mr. Zawolo  get to know I give a computer out without his permission I will be in serious problem, that is what I m avoiding Jeff15:47
jelkneri sent the laptops, and i will send more15:47
jelknerbut if you are not going to use them effectively, i won't send them any more15:47
jelknerwhat effectively means right now is loaning one to Jallah15:47
jelknerso i am telling you to *PLEASE* do that15:48
jelkneron my instructions15:48
scooperOk Jeff15:48
jelknerif he the Supe doesn't like it, he can tell me15:48
jelknerHe is busy scooper 15:48
jelkneri emailed him, and tried calling him on every number i have for him15:49
scooperIf I'm fire you should get ready to call me to live with you in America hahaahah15:49
jelknerso i did my part15:49
scooperYes15:49
jelknerit's a deal, scooper! ;-)15:49
jelknerwe need to solve the problem15:49
jelkneri always respect his leadership15:49
scooperGot  you15:49
jelknerbut we need to not let that kill our efforts15:49
jelknerwe did the right thing15:50
jelknernow we need to take action so we can all move forward15:50
jelknerdon't worry15:50
scooperCan I make few recommendation Jeff15:50
jelknerPlease, scooper 15:50
jelkneri'm waiting15:50
jelknerbut in 10 minutes i have to leave15:50
jelknerso do it now15:50
scooperIf we most learn from Aaron and tmickelson15:51
jelkneri don't know what you mean by that15:51
jelknerwe are a team15:51
jelknerand they are the sys admins15:51
jelknerwe learn sys admin things from them15:52
scooperThey need to step a particular day aside to help us, the time in which they come online is not really enough for us alot all15:52
jelknerbut they are not developers15:52
jelknerAntonioA and Luke are15:52
jelknerscooper, i'm afraid that since they are volunteers15:52
jelknerwe may not be able to do that15:52
scooper5 , 10 are not just enough Jeff, more beside Freena Jallah live far distance15:52
jelknerthey are students15:52
jelknerwith a lot of responsibilities15:53
jelkneri have managed to get them in my class for 30 minutes each school day15:53
scoopercoming to MCSS throguht out the week is really difficult for them and the time alotted is not sufffient 15:53
jelknerthat's what we got15:53
jelknerwe need to make use of that15:53
