jelknerlearning what works and what doesn't work is part of your educational requirements10:52
jelkneryou know, my friend, i will have to keep asking you to "up your game" if we are going to be successful10:53
tboimahyeah10:53

jelknerGood morning fkoikoi and Gabriel 10:58
tboimahGood morning fkoikoi and Gabriel 10:58
jelknershall we start? or are we still waiting on others?10:59
fkoikoiwe can start11:00
GabrielI think it's time but can I ask a question"?11:00
GabrielJeff11:00
jelknerplease11:00
jelkneri'm waiting Gabriel 11:02
Gabrielok my question is about the PCEP, i have been talking about this since last month but freena said i should reach you?11:02
fkoikoiI told you to reach to scooper Gabriel11:03
jelknerfkoikoi, that's a good recommendation, but why?11:04
fkoikoibecause that's how it's been done11:05
jelknerok, that's one good reason11:05
Gabrielfkoikoi to be honest I told you several times but you said i should tell Jeff but in so doing nevermind 11:05
jelknerwe don't want to change things for no good reason11:05
jelknerbut it also helps to *evaluate* everything we do11:05
jelkneris it the best way?11:05
jelknerwhy?11:05
jelknerremember, successful technologists need to be flexible, creative thinkers11:06
Gabrielsure I was just makihng a suggestion cause you said it's important as the goal to jetrowebdev11:06
jelknerGabriel, i'm glad you are bringing it up11:06
jelknerplease feel free to bring up whatever you want to bring up11:07
Gabrielok11:07
jelkneri personally don't want anyone to be the "single point of failure"11:07
jelknerthat's an engineering concept11:08
jelknerand we should think about it too11:08
fkoikoiwhen a person is prepare, they take the practice test and then proceed to the registration. Send the link to scooper and scooper send it to jeff11:08
jelknerif a single failure in one part of a system can cause the entire system to fail11:08
jelknerwe do not have a resilient system11:08
jelknerthe Internet, for example, was designed in part to be a resilient system11:09
fkoikoiGabriel, I have told you to reach to scooper in the present of Mulbah, including tboimah11:09
jelknerif one router fails11:09
jelknerthe other routers in the system automatically re-route traffic11:09
jelknerso the system reestablishes stability11:10
jelknerwe need to be like the Internet11:10
jelknerLOL11:10
Gabrielight11:10
jelknerif one of us doesn't show up, or can't do what they were supposed to do11:10
jelknerwe need resilient systems in place that keep us going11:10
jelknerwe can't grind to a halt every time a single one of us fails11:10
jelknerso thanks, Gabriel, i like having discussions like this11:11
jelkneri think we need to have more and more of them11:11
jelknerthat's what "education" really is all about11:11
jelknerbut back to your concrete question11:11
jelknerscooper has been the "go to guy" on this because he knows how to purchase a voucher and direct the payment to me11:12
jelknerbut we need to change that workflow now anyway11:12
jelkneri no longer can (nor do i want to) pay for all our expenses personall11:13
jelknerpersonally11:13
jelkneri want the funding to go from SJC to Jetro Web11:13
jelknerSJC is now a 501c3 organization11:13
jelknerwhich means it can receive tax deductable contributions from people in the U.S.11:14
jelknerdo you all know who is on the board of SJC?11:14
tboimahplease tell us11:15
fkoikoi-111:15
jelkneri'll do better than that, tboimah 11:15
Gabrielok11:15
jelkneri don't know if you saw the log from yesterday, but scooper and i got into a discussion of charity11:15
tboimahyeah I was that11:16
jelkneri basically told him that i am personally not interested in charity11:16
tboimahwhen you was saying it is but to teach a man to fishing them to give hem a fish11:16
jelkneri am interested in solidarity11:16
tboimah*better11:17

jelknerIf you want to look up a business, you can go to this site:11:19
jelknerhttps://cis.scc.virginia.gov/11:19
jelknerso here is your challenge: tell me who is on the board of "Social Justice Computing"11:19
jelknercan you reach the site from there?11:21
jelknersome sites may be blocked from outside the U.S.11:22
tboimah_111:22
