jelknerthanks tboimah 11:52
tboimahYou're welcome11:52
jelknerNOTE: tboimah will chair the meeting on Saturday11:52
jelknertboimah, with that in mind, one of my user stories we should discuss now11:53
jelknergetting the irc bot to work11:53
jelknerLuis was working on that with whom from Jetro?11:53
tboimahMulbah11:53
jelknerAh11:53
jelknerWell, neither of them have yet delivered it11:53
jelknerand it has been a *loooooooooooong* time!11:54
jelknerway too long11:54
jelknerthat's what we need to learn to do better11:54
tboimahI will have to fine out that from Mulbah11:54
jelkneri asked for that several months ago11:54
jelknerperfect11:54
jelknerfreena, scooper, you two need to learn to pay attention to these things11:54
jelknerwhen a job comes in11:54
jelknerwhoever is responsible for project management needs to keep track of the tasks11:55
jelknerand know when they are finished11:55
jelkneror when they bog down11:55
jelknerthe irc bot bogged down11:55
freenaOkay jelkner 11:55
jelkneri don't think Mulbah could totally figure it out11:55
jelkneror Luis11:55
jelknerso they just gave up and never finished the work11:56
jelknerwe can't let that happen11:56
jelknerit will put us out of business11:56
jelknertboimah, the channel op is a related story11:56
jelknerit too requires learning about irc11:56
jelknerand how it works11:56
tboimahI will start my research on that today11:57
jelknerif you look over at the #novawebdev channel, you can see a symbol next to my nick11:57
jelkneri see a green circle on hexchat11:57
jelknerthat means i'm a channel op11:57
scooperAs it relates to paying attention to projects I think it should be done by dcammue and svaye Jeff11:57
scooperthey are the business manager for now11:57
jelknera channel op has rights to manage the channel11:57
jelknerthey can kick out a troll (using /kick <nick>)11:58
jelknerand other things11:58
jelknertboimah, you should become a channel op yourself11:58
jelknerright now we have no channel op in this channel11:58
jelknerthat's not good11:58
tboimahOkay11:58
jelknerso that covers two of my 4 stories11:59
jelknerJetro needs to figure out who will work on Decidim11:59
jelknerwe need a serious, talented, hard working person!11:59
jelknerDecidim support is one of the two pillars of NOVA Web's business plan11:59
jelknerwe want to be able to get contracts setting up and training folks to use Decidim12:00
jelknerso we need to learn to use it first!!!12:00
jelknerLOL12:00
jelkneri figure it will take us about a year to do that12:00
jelknerif we work hard12:00
jelknerif we don't work hard, it could take us forever :-(12:01
jelknerso, i need to know who in jetro will be the main point of contact for Decidim12:01
jelknertboimah, you can't do everything12:01
jelknerso we need to distribute the responsibility around the coop12:02
jelknerbut you all are responsible for *everything* in the broadest sense12:02
jelknersince you all own the business12:02
jelknerthat's what a coop is!12:02
jelknerok, i don't see svaye12:02
jelknerthat is ashame12:02

scooperafter apply my little effort12:07
scooperyou did not get back to me on the concern I raise with a resolution12:08
jelkneri think i did get back to you scooper 12:08
scooperWith this I feel disappoint and think that my effort was not appreciated12:08
jelknerso we have a disagreement12:08
jelkneri'm sorry you feel unappreciated12:09
jelkneri appreciate your effort12:09
jelknerbut it is so important for our success that we are able to achieve results12:09

jelknerwe need to talk about the business12:18
jelknerbefore i go12:18
jelknerfreena, dcammue i wish you two could weigh in on this12:19
jelkneri want to be clear12:19
jelknerif Jetro can not keep good financial records12:19
dcammue+112:19
jelknerSJC will loose confidence in it and may stop funding it12:19
jelkneri've been saying that over and over, yes?12:20
dcammue+1 sir12:20
jelknerso i was thinking, NOVA Web needs to learn that too12:20
jelknerso, to quote the author of a CS text I like,12:20
freenaOkay jelkner 12:20
jelknerif you want to learn a subject, you must write a book on it12:20
jelknerso yesterday i started a new book12:21
jelknerwhose link in just sent you12:21
jelknerved and i will work on it12:21
jelknerbut we need a co-author from Jetro12:21
jelknerdcammue and svaye are the business majors12:21
jelknerso one of them seemed to me to be the best candidate12:22
jelkneri thought svaye since she seems to me to be one of Jetro's strongest writers12:22
jelknertboimah and freena also write well12:22
jelknerbut she isn't here12:23
jelknerto see her name on the book12:23
jelknerand tell us whether she is willing to do it12:23
jelknerfreena and scooper, Jetro needs a bookkeeper!12:23
jelkneryou all have to decide who that is12:23
jelkneri suggest you have a backup bookkeeper too12:23
jelknercandidates are: svaye freena dcammue 12:24
jelkneror whomever else you decide12:24
jelknersince you rule your own business12:24
jelknerbut as a representative of the funding organization, SJC12:24
jelkneri am trying to tell you what our requirements are12:24

jelknerand blu is too22:13
jelknerand Marin 22:13
jelknerawesome22:13
jelknerour main TODO for this evening22:13
MarinHello!!22:13
bluhi!22:14
Tanaka_Hello everyone 22:14
jelkneris to get everyone set up on our repo22:14
jelknerhttps://codeberg.org/SocialJusticeComputing/UbuntuCleanCookingAlliance22:14
jelkneri need to make one of you an owner22:14
jelknerso that you can manage it22:14
jelknerblu, can you do that please?22:15
jelknersince your mom is our mentor22:15
bluyep!22:15
jelknerperfect!22:15
*** Tanaka_ has quit (Quit: Page closed)22:23
MarinWe are taking a look at the website objectives! and your description of the key requirements. 22:29
MarinDo you want there to be a login functionality so that you can login and leave reviews22:31
Tanaka_I think that would be useful22:32
Tanaka_That would be for the users right ?22:32
bluyes, users would be able to log in and create reviews and comments which would be connected to their accounts22:33
Marinalso do you want an admin version of the site so that you can moderate comments and see statistics?22:33
StephenIf I might be so bold here, the issue is really managing users, and the impact of having non-registered participation vs. registered.  What's the most efficient way to weed out bad users or folks who will post trash, whatever that is...22:33
StephenRegistered users will cut down on bad actors, but reduce participation.  But maybe start with registration required for posting but now reading or downloading...22:35
Stephen...but not downloading or reading...22:35
StephenOne of the requirements is to track where users are from and what they download.  So its useful if when they download something, the system asks who they are as a way to try to identify them in the future...22:36
MarinThats what we were thinking we understand the downloading and reading should be accessible to everyone but the leaving reviews should be limited to logged in users. It could be beneficial to have a moderator 22:39
bluhttps://codeberg.org/SocialJusticeComputing/UbuntuCleanCookingAlliance/src/branch/main/website/README.md22:40
StephenA big issue with previous clean cooking stove programs is that stoves are built, and then only used a few times before they are abandoned.  So trying to contact someone who has built a stove to see if they are using it is key to success22:40
StephenYes, a moderator would be very helpful...22:40
Marinare these the correct reasons you would need an account: downloading stove, leaving reviews, discussions with others22:48
StephenYes.  22:49
Tanaka_I am off. I  to run for dinner before the dinning hall closes22:49
Tanaka_*have22:50
StephenAnd the system would say the reason we need an account is for a simple follow-up:  Did you build the stove, are you continuing to use it, if yes, one set of multiple choice responses, if not, a different set...22:50
Marinok! Enjoy dinner!22:50
shmohamudI am wondering if we would want to somehow separate users who want to build a stove from users who want to learn more / donate. 22:50
StephenBy Tanaka...22:51
StephenBye...22:51
StephenYes, then they don't have to register although I'm sure many will say they just want to learn, and then download and build so they remain anonymous 22:53
StephenBut I don't see a way around that issue...22:53
bluWe would create a function within the site that would verify that a user was registered before downloading, and if they arent it will redirect them to the registration page22:55
StephenYes, that would work...22:59
