jelknerGood morning Freena10:52
jelknerI've been battling a cold.10:52
jelknerIt is messing with my head.10:52
jelknerI feel "cloudy".10:52
fkoikoi_oh10:52
fkoikoi_sorry for that10:52
jelknerAnd have been doing things like missing my meeting with Shallon and Daniel yesterday.10:53
jelknerDid you see my email about that?10:53
fkoikoi_Yes10:53
jelknerYesterday morning I started the coffee machine and forgot to put the cup under it.10:53
jelknerThe coffee spilled all over, including on some of my books :-(10:54
jelknerAnyway, we need to keep moving forward even when we're not 100%.10:55
fkoikoi_so sorry Jeff, speedy recovery 10:55
jelknerthanks10:55
*** fkoikoi has quit (Ping timeout: 480 seconds)10:55
jelknerwhat is our plan for Saturday, fkoikoi_?10:55
fkoikoi_Good Morning scooper110:55
jelknerGood morning scooper1 10:56
fkoikoi_I wanted us to discussed about how we can move forward since we are still waiting to meet with the sup10:57
scooper1Good morning fkoikoi and jelkner10:57
fkoikoi_hopefully next week because he said we should meet him in two weeks time10:58
jelknerfkoikoi_, it's really important to understand that in a big process like Jetro Web Development10:58
jelknerthere are *always* things that need to be done10:58
dcammueGood morning jelkner fkoikoi_ and scooper1 10:58
scooper1good morning DC nike10:58
fkoikoi_Good Morning dcammue10:58
jelknerwhen we are blocking on one (like the location for the school), for example10:58
jelknerwe have so many other things to focus on10:59
jelknera successful business will require, among other things:10:59
jelkner1. a place to do business (that's what the school is about)10:59
jelkner2. a skilled development team (which is, basically, the "product" of the business)11:00
jelkner3. a skilled management team (that keeps the business flowing and manages relations with customers)11:00
jelknerwe are a long way from where we need to be on all three of these11:00
jelknerso the fact that we are blocking on 1 for the now, in no way prevents us from moving forward on 2 and 311:01
jelknerdoes that make sense?11:01
scooper1+111:01
fkoikoi_sure11:01
dcammue+111:01
fkoikoi_100% correct11:01
jelknerso, i can ask my questions again, fkoikoi_, what is on our agenda for Saturday?11:01
fkoikoi_the first item on our agenda for saturday is11:02
fkoikoi_1. Update from each group11:02
jelknerfkoikoi_, may i make another suggestion?11:04
fkoikoi_2. Discussion on about the training of students (which is still far) 11:04
fkoikoi_Go ahead Jeff11:04
jelkneryou should begin to "see yourself" as a core part of the management group11:05
jelknersince you agreed to take on this role11:05
jelknerthe management group at the moment for this broad effort (Jetro and NOVA Web) is:11:06
jelknerfkoikoi, scooper, klarios, jmolina, and jelkner11:06
jelknerscooper1 says he is focusing mainly on learning to be a developer11:06
jelknerbut he is objectively in the management group11:06
jelkner(he manages the money, for example, which is obviously a critical role)11:07
jelknerconnection troubles, fkoikoi_?11:07
fkoikoiyes 11:07
fkoikoibut I'm back11:08
jelknerthe more our infrastructure becomes reliable, the better we will be able to thrive11:08
*** fkoikoi__ has quit (None)11:08
jelknerok, i'm not sure what you missed11:08
jelkneri'm talking about the management team11:08
jelknerfkoikoi, are you here?11:09
fkoikoiokay11:09
fkoikoiI just read the IRC11:09
jelknergreat11:09
jelknerso, klarios and jmolina seem to be stepping into the business management role very effectively11:10
jelkneri encourage you to get to know them, and to work with them11:10
fkoikoiokay 11:10
jelknera business management team is what NOVA Web Development never had11:10
jelkneri believe that explains why we have not be able to "make it" during the 11 years we have been operating11:11
jelkneri am focusing on what i know how to do here11:11
jelknerbuilding the development team11:11
jelknerwe always had a strong development team11:12
jelknerstefan and adrian are professional level developers11:12
jelknerwe just didn't know how to do sales and marketing11:12
jelknerto find work11:12
*** fkoikoi_ has quit (Ping timeout: 480 seconds)11:12
jelknerthat is what klarios and jmolina will be focusing on11:13
jelkneras we continue to rebuild the team11:13
jelkneri have many students interested in working with us as developers11:13
jelknerso prospects look solid for having a skilled workforce11:13
jelknerbut Jetro is a key part of this11:13
jelknersince the young folks here will come and go11:13
jelkneri am hopiing that Jetro will become the solid foundation that help make this project work11:14
jelknersoon, fkoikoi, we should begin talking about our goals for my visit this Summer11:14
jelknerand when i should come11:15
jelkneri have a plan with kevin to meet for dinner at the saloon on saturday, november 2511:15
jelkneri'm hoping to talk with Commy at least briefly then about the timeline for the school project11:16
jelknerwe want to focus on all three goals during my visit11:16
jelknerbut it will help to have more information about what is possible for the school project11:16
jelknerin my mind, i am hoping summer 2025 would be the time to build the school11:17
jelknerbut i don't know is that is reasonable11:17
jelknerdcammue, how are things coming with the rebrand?11:18
