jelknerSo, let's talk about plans for 2023.12:58
scooperSound awesome12:58
jelknerI have a bunch of thoughts on how to proceed, but I welcome anyone else to jump in before me if they have thoughts.12:58
scooperIs it a open discussion that any one can bring forth his or her thoughts??12:59
jelknerYes!12:59
scooperLet proceed with your than later we can have a saying12:59
jelknerOK, here is what I see from my point of view of someone who *loves* to plan ;-)13:00
jelknerWe have 4 of us taking courses at UoPeople: scooper, fkoikoi, jkoleah, and jelkner 13:01
jelknerscooper, fkoikoi, jkoleah will be studying computer science13:01
jelknerjelkner is studying business, so that when he comes to Monrovia during Summer 202413:01
jelknerwe can set up a web development cooperative at that time13:02
jelknerthat's the goal we are shooting for13:02
jelknerat the same time, we have 5 of us still in high school: svaye, tboimah, dcammue_, and janet 13:02
jelknerthey need to focus on graduating13:02
jelknerbut at the same time they can continue learning HTML and CSS13:03
jelknerI want them to use Head First HTML and CSS as the resources to guide their study13:03
jelknerif they want to become ICT professionals, they need to learn to use a great resources like that to study together on their own.13:04
jelknerReading the book, understanding it, and applying the practice examples until they feel they know how web pages work, and can make new ones on their own.13:04
jelknerWe should use our Saturday meetings to share what we did during the week, ask questions, and evaluate our progress.13:05
jelknerSo, that's what I have in mind.13:05
jelknerThoughts?13:05
scooperSOUND GREAT13:06
scooperMy turn13:06
dcammue_Thanks Jeff13:06
jelknerACTION can't count :-( it's 4 of us still in high school ;-)13:06
scooperBase on what you have said, 13:06
scooperI will like to suggest few things Jeff13:07
jelknerAwesome, scooper, I'm all ears!13:07
scooperFirst step in programming is being passionate about doing something without feeling tire 13:08
scooperSo base on what your have giving them, I mean the book we should exclude Jallah and Freena from this participation for now since them have a huge task it Uopeople13:09
jelkner+113:09
jelknerTotally agreed, scooper 13:10
jelknerThe book is for the 4 high school students13:10
jelknerfkoikoi and jkoleah need to focus on UoPeople13:10
jelkneryou and me too, scooper 13:10
tboimahit 5 Jeff not 413:10
jelknerah yes13:10
scooperIn short the four interns need to submitted a weekly project to show that they I reading the book and in total support of what we are doing13:10
jelknermulbah is not here13:11
jelknerso I can count, after all!13:11
jelknerscooper, i've been teaching this stuff for year13:11
jelkneryears13:11
scooperBase on this we will be able to know who I really passionate and will to take this as a career after high school13:11
jelknergit is our magic tool13:11
jelknerwe can see who is passionate, and what they've been doing, but looking at their git commits13:12
jelknerHappy New Year, mulbah!13:12

jelknerACTION done13:19
scooperOk13:19
scooperany one have a input????13:20
jelknersince no one else is saying anything, perhaps i should say this...13:21
jelknerit is *so* important in a cooperative that we all learn to take initiative and develop leadership skills together13:22
jelknerin scooper, i have a comrade in this effort13:22
jelknerwithout him, it would not be possible13:22
jelkneryou should all observe two things he does that are essential to our success:13:22
jelkner1. he thinks about the "big picture" related to our goals and work together13:23
jelkner2. he takes initiative in proposing solutions that move us forward13:23
jelknerat present, it is mostly scooper and jelkner who do that13:23
jelknerif we are going to build a successful cooperative, we will need more of you to join us in being able to do that13:24
jelknerACTION done13:24
