| jelkner | i just wanted to check-in before i leave for Los Angeles later today. | 10:51 |
| mulbah | Good morning Jeff | 10:51 |
| jelkner | mulbah, ledmer told me yesterday you are still working with him on learning ruby | 10:51 |
| jelkner | i included your name on the lesson plan for tomorrow | 10:51 |
| jelkner | https://ict.gctaa.net/sections/csc223/goals/weeks9n10.html | 10:52 |
| mulbah | yes | 10:52 |
| jelkner | great | 10:52 |
| jelkner | just wanted to confirm | 10:52 |
| jelkner | freena, i spoke with mr. zawolo already this morning | 10:52 |
| jelkner | (he got here early than i did - a first! ;-) | 10:52 |
| freena | Oh | 10:53 |
| jelkner | he agreed that since he is the only one on the SJC board with real knowledge on how things work in Liberia | 10:53 |
| jelkner | that he would work with you as you look for the Jetro Office | 10:53 |
| jelkner | please be in regular contact with him | 10:54 |
| freena | Okay | 10:54 |
| jelkner | it is only by learning to effectively use our skills and shared knowledge that we will succeed | 10:54 |
| jelkner | so when i left him i told him i had a scheduled meeting with you this morning | 10:55 |
| jelkner | and that i would mention to you that we spoke | 10:55 |
| jelkner | you know how to reach him, yes? | 10:55 |
| freena | +1 jelkner | 10:55 |
| jelkner | awesome | 10:55 |
| freena | I will reach out to him today | 10:56 |
| jelkner | thomasboimah, how are things going with the Decidim development team? | 10:56 |
| thomasboimah | Thing are going pretty fine, and shun I and Tony was in touch through mail | 10:56 |
| thomasboimah | shun said that after our meeting this coming thursday | 10:57 |
| thomasboimah | we should plan a date to start meeting and work together | 10:57 |
| jelkner | Sahnun | 10:57 |
| thomasboimah | as a team | 10:58 |
| thomasboimah | +1 Sahnun, through mail | 10:58 |
| jelkner | great | 10:58 |
| jelkner | thomasboimah, this is a huge opportunity for you | 10:58 |
| jelkner | you are now working with 3 professional developers who have years of experience | 10:58 |
| jelkner | Sahnun even did professional work on a Rails project before | 10:59 |
| jelkner | so this will be a real opportunity for you to grow | 10:59 |
| jelkner | we are really fortunate to have them | 11:00 |
| thomasboimah | Yeah, jelkner I am also setting up my own Deccidim on my local machine, so i am getting more farmiler with things | 11:00 |
| jelkner | great! | 11:00 |
| jelkner | that's what you need to do | 11:00 |
| jelkner | since the Linux kernel has kvm built in | 11:00 |
| jelkner | it is very easy to spin up a VM to try out new things | 11:01 |
| jelkner | i do it all the time | 11:01 |
| jelkner | they are easy to set up, and if you break things | 11:01 |
| thomasboimah | So that way even when Sahnun or Tony is busy I can still be learning | 11:01 |
| jelkner | you can just delete them and make a new one without harming the host machine | 11:01 |
| thomasboimah | Sure! | 11:01 |
| jelkner | yes, thomasboimah | 11:02 |
| jelkner | you can't wait | 11:02 |
| jelkner | just think about it | 11:02 |
| jelkner | how does Tony learn? | 11:02 |
| jelkner | he reads online | 11:02 |
| jelkner | he trys things | 11:02 |
| jelkner | there is no one in our organization he can "wait for" to be told what to do | 11:03 |
| thomasboimah | jelkner, | 11:03 |
| jelkner | if you want to be a successful technologist, you need to learn the same | 11:03 |
| thomasboimah | What's up with this mail: Kevin and others at NOVA Web Dev - | 11:03 |
| thomasboimah | It's been a while since we spoke, but I wanted to follow up on a | 11:03 |
| thomasboimah | conversation we had a while back about Decidim. The city of Richmond | 11:03 |
| thomasboimah | is starting a participatory budgeting process in the coming year. We | 11:03 |
| thomasboimah | will need to create an online space for collecting community ideas, | 11:03 |
| thomasboimah | drafting proposals, and then voting. I'd love to use Decidim. | 11:03 |
| jelkner | yes thomasboimah? | 11:03 |
| thomasboimah | I'm curious about the cost of designing and setting something up an | 11:03 |
| thomasboimah | instance for a city wide process? | 11:03 |
| thomasboimah | Is there any I will need to know about it | 11:03 |
| thomasboimah | *anything | 11:03 |
| jelkner | glad you're asking thomasboimah | 11:04 |
| jelkner | i just found that old email while migrating my .org emails to our .coop hosting on May First | 11:04 |
| jelkner | all you might want to know now is a bit of the history | 11:04 |
| jelkner | so you can make sense of things going forward | 11:05 |
| jelkner | in 2022, i was no longer an active part of NOVA Web Development | 11:05 |
| jelkner | that was the year i first visited liberia | 11:05 |
| jelkner | Stefan, Adrian, Louie, and Natalia were running the coop | 11:06 |
| jelkner | they managed to keep it going for 2 years | 11:06 |
| jelkner | but they were never able to make a successful enough business out of it | 11:06 |
| jelkner | so they all left | 11:06 |
| jelkner | and i came back in with a new group of students to start things over again | 11:06 |
| jelkner | so i didn't see that email when Matt Slaats first sent it | 11:07 |
| jelkner | Matt works for the City of Richmond | 11:07 |
| jelkner | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richmond,_Virginia | 11:07 |
| jelkner | Richmond is the capital of the state of Virginia, where i live | 11:08 |
| jelkner | it is about a 90 minute ride by car from here | 11:08 |
| jelkner | Matt is also a key person in the organization VASEN, https://vasolidarity.org/ | 11:09 |
| jelkner | he will be joining Kei, Tony, Johan, and me at the DNOVA Summit on April 26 and 27 | 11:09 |
| jelkner | https://nextsystem.gmu.edu/projects/dnova/summit | 11:10 |
| jelkner | We will be talking about participatory budgeting and Decidim at the summit | 11:10 |
| jelkner | so, you will be hearing a lot more about all this in the future | 11:10 |
| thomasboimah | Okay | 11:11 |
| jelkner | in the mean time, we need to learn to use Decidim as soon as we can | 11:11 |
| thomasboimah | You should please update me After the meeting on April 26 and 27 | 11:11 |
| jelkner | it is *SO* important that freena and svaye and dcammue work together to learn to do Jetro budgeting with Decidim | 11:11 |
| jelkner | it would give us a way to learn how it works and develop a real concrete sense of how it might be useful to people | 11:12 |
| jelkner | thomasboimah, of course you will be updated | 11:12 |
| jelkner | the more your picture of our business plan develops | 11:12 |
| jelkner | the more you will understand all the information coming at you and how it fits together | 11:13 |
| jelkner | it's *a lot* of new information for you, so it will take time | 11:13 |
| thomasboimah | okay | 11:13 |
| jelkner | great | 11:13 |
| jelkner | freena, how are svaye and dcammue doing? | 11:14 |
| jelkner | i am counting on you to keep an eye on them so when i meet with you you can update me | 11:14 |
| jelkner | they are the two Jetro folks who could potentially most quickly generate regular revenue for Jetro | 11:14 |
| jelkner | i can continue to support you and thomasboimah through SJC | 11:15 |
| jelkner | but they could get paid by SECOSOL | 11:15 |
| jelkner | *IF* they can learn to provide bookkeeping services to our co-ops and non-profits | 11:15 |
| jelkner | so please continue to monitor their progress | 11:16 |
| jelkner | ACTION done | 11:16 |
| jelkner | anything y'all have for me? | 11:16 |
| jelkner | thomasboimah, freena, mulbah? | 11:17 |
| jelkner | i need to go | 11:17 |
| thomasboimah | -1 for me | 11:18 |
| mulbah | Okay Jeff | 11:18 |
| jelkner | freena? | 11:18 |

| mulbah | Alright Jeff | 11:19 |
| jelkner | but since i'll be 3 hours later and visiting my son | 11:19 |
| jelkner | i'm not sure when | 11:19 |
| jelkner | so i don't want to make plans | 11:19 |
| jelkner | i'm having breakfast with Sahnun on Easter morning | 11:20 |
| jelkner | so i'll be back in Virginia then | 11:20 |
