Jmolinahttps://www.cleancookingsystem.org.cn/15:13

JmolinaHe just wants a website made for a podcast15:20
klariosoooh that sounds great, and I imagine james could take care of that?15:20
JmolinaHonestly now that the Elizabeth Guzman storm has calmed down a bit James could do it15:20
klariosYeah it would be benefitial, the only thing that concerns me though is like Ms guzman's site, SECOSOL also needs a pretty urgent site, especially if we want to test is for hosting on mayfirst15:21
jelknerSECOSOL can wait15:21
JmolinaLike Jeff said SECOSOL isnt a priority 15:22
jelknersaddly the organization is moving slow15:22

jelkner+115:24
klariosI will talk to them about that 15:24
klariosAlright, moving on we have charle's introductory message, Unfortunately Antonio was not able to make it since he has a short notice event from college but we have created the list15:25
jelknerklarios, Jmolina, can you stay a few minutes after you drop the bag of gravel?15:25
Jmolinasure15:26

jelkner!15:26
*** mulbah has quit (Quit: Leaving)15:26
klariosANtonio had an issue transferring the site from spacehost to bluehost so charles knew someone who could take care of that15:27
klariosthat's why he needed external help15:27
jelknergot you15:27
klariosAlright next is the meeting with maddie \15:27
klariosshe has not emailed me back but I will call her to set it up15:27
klariosas email is not her main way of contact15:28
klariosnow lastly it is linode server information 15:28
klariosI logged into the NWD linode and noticed a bunch of unused servers, I am going to reach out to the costumers and determine wether they want their own linode account15:29
*** tboimah has quit (Quit: Leaving)15:29
klariosAlright, that is all I got for today15:29
jelknertalk to abucholz about that first15:29
klariosyeah I talked to him about some 15:30
klariosthat we need and dont need15:30
klariosACTION drops the bag of gravel15:30
klariosYey!15:30
jelknergreat15:30
jelknerok, i have three proposals / concerns15:31
jelkner1. these saturday morning planning meetings are crucial15:31
jelknercan you two agree to be here 30 minutes early (9:30 am) and to bill me for the hour15:31
jelknerso i'll commit to $30 a week to get the two of you here for an hour15:32
Jmolinaok15:32
klariosI agree15:32
jelknersince the 3 of us can use the 30 minutes before 10 to plan15:32
jelknerok, great15:32
jelknernow no. 215:32
jelknerwe need the developers here15:32
jelknernot one of them showed today15:32
jelknerthey should be here from 10 to 10:30 am15:32
Jmolinayes we do15:32
jelkneri have a proposal15:32
jelknerwe should put it before the developers themselves15:33
klarioswe need to find out a way to incentivize them to be here15:33
jelknerbut i'll argue strongly for it15:33
jelknerno one gets a pay check during a week they were not present at the saturday meeting15:33
jelknerthat means when they are waiting for a check, they at least have to show up them15:33
jelknerthen15:33
Jmolinaok sounds good to me15:34
klariosThat sounds like a good idea. Although my idea was harsher this could work as wekk15:34
jelknerwe should continue to focus on moral persuasion15:34
klariosI was thinking deducting an ammout for no show15:34
jelknerbut a little bit of material incentive may help us here15:34
jelknerdeducing what?15:35
klariosbut that is harsh of course15:35
klariosfrom their checks15:35
jelknerhave you been paying for the time they spend in the meeting?15:35
klariosnope15:35
jelknerthen there is nothing to deduct15:35
klariostrue15:35
jelknerthis is a great conversation15:35
jelknerwe are really moving along15:35
jelknerwe are now beginning to talk about idea, what is right and wrong, what we can and can not (and should) do15:36
jelknerremember, before too long15:36
jelknerwe will have a firmer governance in place15:36
jelknerthe idea of a worker coop is one worker one vote15:36
jelknerso anything you plan, we need to get approved by everyone15:36
klariosYeah I agree, especially if we are expecting more people to join us we need to stand our ground15:37
jelknerso in building a democratic organization, you need to do a lot of education15:37
jelknerwe have a smart group15:37
jelkneri think our dear friend ledmer, who just showed up15:37
jelknerwould understand why it is so important to have devs in the meetings15:37
klariosHello ledmer 15:37
ledmerhello!15:37
*** shmohamud has quit (Remote host closed the connection)15:37
JmolinaHi Luis15:38
jelknerand we could probably have his support to get some kind of accountability built in when people don't show15:38
jelknerwe get to decide together15:38
jelknerbut we need to both motivate each other and to hold each other accountable15:38
klariosyes I agree15:39
jelknerif we do, we succeed and thrive, if not, we don't15:39
jelknerok, last of my 3 points15:39
jelknerklarios, Jmolina, my experience is that your lives will be most pleasant, and our business will be most effective15:39
jelknerwhen we understand that we server our partners / clients15:40
jelknerso, don't bother pestering them for data and trying to move then along on their websites15:40
jelknerinstead, be ready to move with all deliberate speed when they ask us15:40
jelknerwe serve them15:41
jelknernot the other way around15:41
jelknerif they aren't pestering us15:41
jelknerthey don't perceive and acute need15:41
jelknerso we have nothing to do15:41
jelknerSECOSOL is a case in point15:41
jelknerand MSP too15:41
klariosI understand15:41
jelknerSECOSOL has not been asking you for progress15:41
jelknerbut MSP has15:41
jelknerso take care of MSP15:42
jelknerACTION done15:42
klariosyes15:42
