jelknerStephen, I commit to working with Jetro this week to decide who will be the lead on this project15:11
jelknerSJC can commit to paying for their time, so this can be a billable project for them15:11
jelknerbut they need to use this to learn how to manage a project15:12

scooperlet me take the lead on this projec15:16
scooperand the other can buttress me through15:17
jelknerso, scooper, by next Saturday can you meet with the rest of Jetro15:17
scooperI think this time we can make an end of this project successfully15:17
jelknerand decide who will be responsible for this along with you15:17
jelknerWe need to give Tanaka_Chirara access to the server in Germany15:17
*** Ved has quit (Remote host closed the connection)15:17
jelknerTanaka_Chirara, we are learning Django15:18
jelknerare you familiar with that at all?15:18
jelknerIt's a Python web application framework15:18
scooperAll we need for Tanaka is a User story. How he want this site to look and function15:18
jelknerscooper, Tanaka_Chirara is studying CS15:18
jelknerand this is his project15:19
Tanaka_ChiraraYes I have started learning Django15:19
jelknerawesome!15:19
jelknerthat will be a huge help15:19
jelknerbecause we want to end up with something you can controol15:19
jelknercontrol15:20
jelkner;-)15:20
Tanaka_Chirarathat is awesome 15:20
jelknerok, scooper we need a good sys admin involved in this15:20
jelknerdeploying web apps requires that15:20
jelkneri don't know who you have in mind15:21
jelknermulbah?15:21
jelknerbut you need to have that in place15:21
jelknerscooper, can you decide that during the week and come to the meeting next saturday with a plan?15:21
scoopersure, but I discovered a platform called render that making deploying easy15:21
scooperok15:21
scooperI will confront Mulbah15:21
jelkneryou can propose we look at that15:22
scooperon this and get back to you15:22
jelknerbut trust me, scooper 15:22
jelknerthere is no silver bullet as the saying goes15:22
StephenAn item to consider is whether its better to have an App or a phone-friendly website...15:22
jelknernothing will allow us not to get good at what we're doing15:22
jelkner"easy" solutions tend to be inflexible15:22
jelknerand as soon as customer needs deviate from the script15:23
jelkneryour stuck15:23
Tanaka_ChiraraI would guess an app 15:23
jelknerTanaka_Chirara, web app15:23
jelkneris the easiest15:23
scooperWeb app15:23
jelknerit requires installing nothing on the phone15:23
scooperTanaka15:23
Tanaka_ChiraraYes that works15:23
jelknerall you need is a browser15:23
Tanaka_Chirarait is easier to access15:23
jelknerand it will work from any phone that has a browser15:24
Tanaka_ChiraraThat is true15:24
jelknerthat's what we want to learn in any case15:24
jelknersince it is the right recipe in general, and definitely for developing work users15:24
jelknerand there is now reason not to in this case15:25
scooperTanaka, all you need to do is  give us a user story  about what you expect from project. This is give us a clear picture on how to go about doing this15:25
jelknerthe only compelling argument for a native app is need for access to the user's phone internally 15:25
jelknerthat is not the case here15:25
jelknerlet's talk more next Saturday15:25
StephenHow do folks handle bad actors who upload X-rated photos or hostile text...15:26
Tanaka_ChiraraI can create a word document with more details if that helps15:26
jelknerAhh15:26
jelknergreat question15:26
jelknerwell, the problem here is more social than technical15:26
*** tboimah has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)15:26
*** dcammue has quit (Read error: Network is unreachable)15:26
*** Gabriel has quit (Read error: Network is unreachable)15:26
StephenI've a description that I will email out from when the site was worked on late last year and early this year...15:26
jelknerwe need to think about what kind of relationship we want (and can support) with users15:26
jelknersimplest thing is moderated upload15:27
*** Gabriel has quit (Remote host closed the connection)15:27
jelknerif i understand Tanaka_Chirara correctly15:27
*** dcammue has quit (None)15:27

jelknerwhat do you all think about renting the place from scooper's mom for one year?15:32
jelknerjetro needs a place to work!15:32
jelknerif you can't have a place to do work with reliable electricity and internet, you can't do business15:32
jelknersimple as that15:32
jelkneryou have a generator now15:32
fkoikoithat's a great idea oo15:32
Vedwhat are all the costs associated with renting it for one year?15:33
dcammuejelkner, did scooper tell you how much his mother renting the house for?15:33
jelknergreat question Ved15:33

jelknerand we drag our feet15:34
jelknerIT businesses don't work that way15:34
