| klarios | Hi all! how are you all doing? | 14:55 |
|---|---|---|
| svaye | Good morning klarios, I am good How are you doing | 14:57 |
| klarios has quit (Remote host closed the connection) | 14:58 | |
| klarios | sorry i disconnected for a bit | 14:59 |
| klarios | jelkner will be a couple of minutes late | 14:59 |
| klarios | but he told me to hold it down. As you may all know 2 days ago was may first and we signed the operating agreement for the 2025 year where me and tony are worker owners | 15:01 |
| anthony_p | hello all | 15:01 |
| klarios | Now our conversations should be about our business plan and operational relationships between jetro web and Nova web | 15:01 |
| klarios | hi tony! | 15:02 |
| svaye | Hi anthony_p | 15:02 |
| klarios | are we waiting on fkoikoi? | 15:02 |
| klarios | if not we can continue | 15:03 |
| klarios | So I propose that we start having conversations about our currrent clients, how we will do business, how we will generate reports, how we will invoice and how much we would invoice for | 15:05 |
| anthony_p | is anyone taking notes on this? | 15:05 |
| klarios | Since we have a workflow established by the results in decidim it will be easier to discuss the business workflow | 15:05 |
| klarios | no tony, someone should take notes or should we refer this log somewhere | 15:07 |
| klarios | ? | 15:07 |
| fkoikoi | Good Morning klarios | 15:08 |
| anthony_p | good morning | 15:08 |
| klarios | another thing to propose would be having dedicated “business meetings” between jetro and Nova web | 15:08 |
| anthony_p | one of our potential bookkeepers for note taking? | 15:09 |
| klarios | hi fkoikoi! check out the log to those arriving late | 15:09 |
| klarios | sure svaye, would you want to take notes on this meeting? | 15:09 |
| fkoikoi | okay | 15:10 |
| klarios | or Fkoikoi you could do note-taking as well | 15:10 |
| mulbah | Hello everyone | 15:11 |
| anthony_p | hello | 15:12 |
| klarios | moving on to the conversation, one of the ways that I have been taught to do business plans is through “fragmentation” or breaking up into functional groups and seeing “benefits” and “risks” associated with that group and then generating a strategy to mitigate risks. For example: Developers could have the risk of not responding to outages as fast enough, so what can we do to prevent or mitigate that damage | 15:13 |
| mulbah | Hi Jeff | 15:14 |
| klarios | and then on the business side a risk is not understanding the perspectives of developers in terms of workflow and pay, so how can we mitigate that as well | 15:14 |
| klarios | hi jelkner! check out the logs please | 15:14 |
| jelkner | which jetro or nova? | 15:15 |
| klarios | jetro | 15:15 |
| jelkner | lol, is anyone taking notes, anthony_p, why yes, Websterss_ is! | 15:16 |
| anthony_p | that makes sense, but what are those groupings we're going to actually look at klarios? | 15:16 |
| klarios | in terms of jetro and nova’s survival we need to figure out our strengths and weaknesses and plan on them so that we can best serve our costumers | 15:16 |
| anthony_p | https://drive.proton.me/urls/ZZBE2GN86G#njDx4P0q2tkH | 15:16 |
| anthony_p | use that link to take notes for now | 15:16 |
| anthony_p | we can upload the document to the decidim after | 15:17 |
| anthony_p | we need a solution for collaborative notetaking that's opensource, something that needs to be put on the agenda | 15:17 |
| jelkner | anthony_p, we have a bot | 15:17 |
| jelkner | the irc logs are automatic | 15:17 |
| anthony_p | there are options like etherpad that can be added to the decidim, but we don't have the installed right now | 15:17 |
| klarios | since we are such a small group and jetro is so interconnected with each other we can start by doing a SWOT analysis | 15:17 |
| anthony_p | i know that jelkner, and that's fine and good, but note taking during meetings help organize the discussion as well, and are quicker to reference during the discussion | 15:18 |
| anthony_p | the logs are a great reference, but they do not flow in the discussion | 15:19 |
| jelkner | except now we are having a meta discussion instead of a discussion | 15:19 |
| klarios has quit (Remote host closed the connection) | 15:19 | |
| jelkner | i'm really concerned we keep our "eyes on the prize" | 15:19 |
| klarios | sorry disconnected | 15:19 |
| jelkner | to me, that means finding a way in the near term (a year or two?) | 15:20 |
| jelkner | for klarios and the jetro members to live off this co-op | 15:20 |
| jelkner | that means focusing on: | 15:20 |
| jelkner | 1. capacity building | 15:20 |
| anthony_p | okay, well, let's ask klarios as our business expert, are the logs going to be sufficient for managing and tracking a business discussion? | 15:20 |
| fkoikoi | so klarios, are you suggesting that someone should starts taking notes of meeting minutes and not depending on Websters log?? | 15:21 |
| jelkner | 2. finding customers | 15:21 |
| klarios | but like I was saying since jetro web is smaller and more interconnected group we can start by doing a SWOT (Strenghts, weaknesses, opportunities, threats) of ourselves and then of our infrastructure as a whole | 15:21 |
| klarios | that way we have an understanding of how capable we are of handling ourselves and our own infrastructure | 15:21 |
| svaye | I am sorry guys I can't stay for the meeting I have lab class but I will read the log | 15:21 |
| svaye has left #jetrowebdev (None) | 15:21 | |
| klarios | because if we can’t handle infrastructure we can’t handle web development and business management | 15:22 |
| anthony_p | i agree with that | 15:22 |
| klarios | I think irc isn’t enough | 15:22 |
| klarios | I think that we as “stewards” should also be held accountable for holding others accountable | 15:22 |
| jelkner | i'll push back on that klarios | 15:23 |
| klarios | that way future stewards can see what truly goes with being a manager | 15:23 |
| jelkner | the SchoolTool project successfully used this very infrastructure for 10 year | 15:23 |
| jelkner | years | 15:23 |
| jelkner | techies love to hack on tech | 15:23 |
| jelkner | when what we have are human problems, not technical ones | 15:23 |
| jelkner | but i'll go with whatever y'all decided if it is open source | 15:24 |
| jelkner | that said | 15:24 |
| jelkner | if we spend all our time talking about what tech we are going to use | 15:24 |
| jelkner | i think we will not get where we want to go | 15:24 |
| jelkner | i'll be happy when you prove me wrong though | 15:24 |
| jelkner | just saying... | 15:25 |
| jelkner | ACTION done | 15:25 |
| anthony_p | well, proton docs and all of proton is open source, and i just put it in there for now. because i want collaborative document development to be done through an open source tool we would have on our own decidim like etherpad | 15:25 |
| klarios has quit (Remote host closed the connection) | 15:25 | |
| jelkner | may first uses etherpad, anthony_p, so i'm familiar with it | 15:26 |
| klarios | I agree jelkner and I think we first need to understand in what step of capacity are we and what do we need of more to understand our own infrastructure like decidim and libre organize | 15:26 |
| jelkner | but i will say, the problem for me is always "where did we put that thing?" | 15:26 |
| jelkner | again, a human problem | 15:26 |
| klarios | exactly! | 15:26 |
| jelkner | what we have not is dead simple | 15:26 |
| anthony_p | and when the meeting is over, we can upload that document to the decidim | 15:26 |
| jelkner | go for it! | 15:27 |
| klarios | that’s what this business plan will take into account | 15:27 |
| jelkner | and please don't be mad at me when i ask you where it is | 15:27 |
| jelkner | i promise never to ask where the irclogs are ;-) | 15:27 |
| klarios has quit (Remote host closed the connection) | 15:27 | |
| jelkner | anthony_p, i know you have to go soon, yes | 15:28 |
| anthony_p | no, i thought this was at 3 | 15:28 |
| jelkner | it is 3 UTC, anthony_p | 15:28 |
| anthony_p | yes | 15:28 |
| klarios | sorry my connection keeps dropping | 15:28 |
| jelkner | thomasboimah, anthony_p, mulbah, i was hoping we could talk about our capacity building | 15:29 |
| jelkner | we have a major breakthrough this week | 15:29 |
| klarios has quit (None) | 15:29 | |
| jelkner | jetro submitted their 1st invoice | 15:29 |
| jelkner | that was HUGE | 15:29 |
| jelkner | since we will not be for real until that can happen over and over as a matter of course | 15:30 |
| jelkner | that's what we need to talk about | 15:30 |
| jelkner | what's up with your connection klarios? | 15:30 |
| klarios | sorry I kept dropping I was on my phone | 15:31 |
| klarios | im on computer now | 15:31 |
| jelkner | thomasboimah, mulbah how are you coming on the .org to .coop migration | 15:31 |
| jelkner | ? | 15:31 |
| thomasboimah | We are on it. it will be done before Tuesday | 15:31 |
| mulbah | I wanted to ask a question | 15:31 |
| jelkner | please | 15:31 |
| jelkner | just ask | 15:31 |
| mulbah | Just to clarify — are we only setting up forwarding from the .org addresses to the .coop ones, or do you also want to transfer all existing emails from the .org accounts over to the .coop accounts? | 15:31 |
| mulbah_ has quit (Quit: Connection closed for inactivity) | 15:32 | |
| jelkner | thomasboimah, are you here? | 15:32 |
| thomasboimah | Yeah | 15:32 |
| jelkner | ok, mulbah dropped | 15:32 |
| jelkner | never mind | 15:32 |
| mulbah | No I'm here | 15:32 |
| jelkner | ok, i'm the customer, so let me clarify | 15:32 |
| anthony_p | i believe that what want is to transfer everything to .coop, then ad forwarding from .org so customers can use the old addresses until they get updated info? | 15:33 |
| mulbah | okay | 15:33 |
| jelkner | 1. We (NOVA Web Development) have been running our own mail server for several years | 15:33 |
| jelkner | we are hosting it, running IREDMail | 15:33 |
| klarios | thomasboimah: was asking me for namecheap info so I think he is sorting it out | 15:33 |
| klarios | is he not here? | 15:33 |
| jelkner | it hosts our .org email | 15:33 |
| thomasboimah | I'm here klarios | 15:33 |
| jelkner | thomasboimah, do you know all this? | 15:34 |
| jelkner | i don't need to explain to mulbah if you can | 15:34 |
| jelkner | but i will if you don't | 15:34 |
| thomasboimah | Please clarify things jelkner | 15:34 |
| jelkner | ok, i'll continue | 15:34 |
| jelkner | we want to move from .org to .coop | 15:34 |
| jelkner | as a worker coop it makes sense from a marketing point of view | 15:35 |
| jelkner | so, we now have our .coop email working (thanks to Jetro! ;-) on May First | 15:35 |
| jelkner | so, our question is - what to do with our .org? | 15:35 |
| jelkner | we can't just shut it down | 15:35 |
| jelkner | we have been doing business for 13 years | 15:36 |
| jelkner | so lots of people have our .org email addresses | 15:36 |
| jelkner | those still need to work | 15:36 |
| jelkner | but we *DO NOT* want to run our own email server anymore! | 15:36 |
| jelkner | so we want to set up the .org emails so that: | 15:37 |
| jelkner | 1. They still work (they reach us) | 15:37 |
| jelkner | 2. They don't require our own email server | 15:37 |
| jelkner | that's what we want | 15:37 |
| anthony_p | there's a relatively straightforward solution to this | 15:37 |
| jelkner | great, what is it? | 15:37 |
| thomasboimah | With this being said. Then I think we are on track. mulbah, gabriel and I will make sure to be done with this before Tuesday. | 15:37 |
| anthony_p | we set up mayfirst to handle the .org as well as the .coop | 15:38 |
| jelkner | Yes! | 15:38 |
| jelkner | that would be awesome | 15:38 |
| jelkner | so that's what we want | 15:38 |
| anthony_p | just have to do that, and have all mail routed through may first, then shut down our server | 15:38 |
| klarios | great! thomasboimah were you able to log into bitwarden? | 15:38 |
| jelkner | beautiful | 15:38 |
| jelkner | let's do it | 15:38 |
| thomasboimah | yes klarios Thanks again | 15:39 |
| anthony_p | so the same process we did for the .coop mail, but we're replacing rather than creating | 15:39 |
| jelkner | anthony_p, my biggest concern is that we develop the capacity to do just this kind of thing | 15:39 |
| klarios | great! are you able to see the namecheap log in info? | 15:39 |
| jelkner | we've been talking about it for several months | 15:39 |
| jelkner | that's too long | 15:39 |
| jkollie has quit (Quit: Connection closed for inactivity) | 15:39 | |
| jelkner | i think that the key to our capacity building is our collaboration with jetro | 15:39 |
| thomasboimah | Sure klarios | 15:39 |
| jelkner | they are developing the skills they need | 15:40 |
| jelkner | and rates we can afford | 15:40 |
| anthony_p | so, mulbah did the .coop right? have him work with someone that needs to learn the mayfirst system and guide them through setting up the .org stuff | 15:40 |
| jelkner | +1 | 15:40 |
| anthony_p | i think luis did stuff with that too? | 15:40 |
| klarios | +1 the great thing is that theyre working collaboratively | 15:40 |
| jelkner | ok, we have a plan? | 15:41 |
| mulbah | alright | 15:41 |
| klarios | we have two due items for next week jelkner | 15:41 |
| anthony_p | minimally, yes | 15:41 |
| anthony_p | but we should discuss how this acually expands what Jetro can offer as a service | 15:41 |
| klarios | 1. Figure out the time and date for our business meetings with jetro (if we dont do it thursday) | 15:41 |
| klarios | 2. Do a Swot Analysis and teaching ourselves how to do tht | 15:42 |
| klarios | that* | 15:42 |
| jelkner | klarios, one more thing we need to add | 15:42 |
| klarios | +1 yes anthony_p | 15:42 |
| jelkner | website work (VASEN, MLC, etc) | 15:42 |
| klarios | yes! website work! | 15:42 |
| anthony_p | this kind of knowledge and expertise can be used to offer consultation services to smaller coops and organizations that want their own mail servers run by a third party | 15:42 |
| klarios | that's going to be the thing that I take care of but I need to know that you guys can do it so that I tell our costumers to not worry! | 15:43 |
| anthony_p | strengthening the movement and supporting our Jetro allies financially as well | 15:43 |
| jelkner | additionally, anthony_p, we can't do business without skilled sys admins | 15:43 |
| jelkner | simple as that | 15:43 |
| jelkner | we're a small coop, we need to do it all | 15:43 |
| jelkner | so having jetro know how to manage infrastructure will be a constant way for them to earn revenue | 15:44 |
| klarios | +1 yep exactly what I wanted to get out of today | 15:44 |
| anthony_p | so when should the business meetings take place? what are the best times of availability for all involved | 15:44 |
| jelkner | we get a new web customer who needs a new website - who helps set up the server and install the tech stack? | 15:44 |
| jelkner | Jetro does! | 15:44 |
| jelkner | we have lots of opportunity to practice with this | 15:45 |
| klarios | yep we've got to consider the small things like getting costumers set up with their own linode and own nameheap | 15:45 |
| klarios | *namecheap | 15:45 |
| jelkner | cosmetology and culinary at ACC want their reservation systems deployed soon | 15:45 |
| klarios | jelkner: I am looking to you for guidance on new business meeting times | 15:45 |
| jelkner | by end of school year | 15:45 |
| jelkner | well, i apologized for my poor estimating this morning already | 15:46 |
| jelkner | saturday mornings are usually good | 15:46 |
| klarios | if we can do thursday because it interferes with all the other things we do and if we consider time difference and other variables | 15:46 |
| jelkner | but once a month i go to reston to meet folks for breakfast | 15:47 |
| klarios | saturday mornings work for me as well | 15:47 |
| jelkner | how about this | 15:47 |
| anthony_p | saturday morning would be fine I think | 15:47 |
| jelkner | can we meet twice monthly (1st and 3rd saturdays)? | 15:47 |
| jelkner | at 13:30 or 14:00 UTC? | 15:48 |
| fkoikoi | +1 | 15:48 |
| anthony_p | +1 | 15:48 |
| thomasboimah | +1 | 15:48 |
| klarios | +1 | 15:48 |
| mulbah | +1 | 15:48 |
| jelkner | sweet | 15:48 |
| anthony_p | we should put a series of these meetings into the decidim | 15:48 |
| jelkner | which one? 13:30 or 14:00 ? | 15:48 |
| klarios | can we let svaye, dcammue, gabriel know as well thomasboimah fkoikoi | 15:48 |
| jelkner | +1 on the Decidim | 15:48 |
| jelkner | ! | 15:48 |
| anthony_p | so we can put in agendas | 15:48 |
| thomasboimah | Sure klarios | 15:49 |
| thomasboimah | I will do | 15:49 |
| jelkner | one of our main discussion topics will be our Decidim | 15:49 |
| klarios | thank you thomasboimah ! | 15:49 |
| fkoikoi | sure jelkner | 15:49 |
| jelkner | which time do y'all prefer? | 15:49 |
| klarios | 14:00 | 15:49 |
| klarios | for me | 15:49 |
| jelkner | others? | 15:49 |
| jelkner | jetro folks? | 15:49 |
| thomasboimah | 14:00 | 15:50 |
| jelkner | anthony_p? | 15:50 |
| mulbah | anytime good for me | 15:50 |
| jelkner | i'm hearing no one who doesn't like 14:00 | 15:50 |
| jelkner | is that right? | 15:50 |
| anthony_p | +1 | 15:51 |
| klarios | +1 | 15:51 |
| jelkner | Great, let's do agree that we will meet the 1st and 3rd saturdays of each month at 14:00 UTC | 15:51 |
| jelkner | now, websites | 15:51 |
| mulbah | Nice | 15:52 |
| jelkner | we need to figure out what skills we have | 15:52 |
| mulbah | sure | 15:52 |
| jelkner | in my estimate, we have a serious weakness (a show stopper, actually) | 15:52 |
| jelkner | we don't have a designer | 15:52 |
| klarios | yep that's where the swot analysis comes in jelkner | 15:52 |
| jelkner | yup, klarios, i'm doing that | 15:52 |
| klarios | +1 good | 15:53 |
| jelkner | i'm not saying we are super strong on the backend | 15:53 |
| jelkner | but we are passable | 15:53 |
| jelkner | on the front end, we aren't | 15:53 |
| jelkner | so we need to figure that out | 15:53 |
| anthony_p | agreed | 15:53 |
| jelkner | let's look at what we do have | 15:54 |
| thomasboimah | We get jkollie_ that have been learning design for sometime now i thing it is about this we test her skill jelkner | 15:54 |
| jelkner | james o'connor and sahnun can both do professional level front end work | 15:54 |
| thomasboimah | *king | 15:55 |
| thomasboimah | *think | 15:55 |
| thomasboimah | *time | 15:55 |
| jelkner | thomasboimah, yes, that is a great goal | 15:55 |
| jelkner | it will take at least a few years! | 15:55 |
| jelkner | just to manage your expectations | 15:55 |
| jelkner | so, thomasboimah, we need a plan to get us from here to there | 15:55 |
| jelkner | jkollie_ should begin studying | 15:56 |
| jelkner | and she should watch the projects we do, and pay attention to what the front end devs do | 15:56 |
| jelkner | when she thinks she is ready | 15:56 |
| jelkner | she can offer to help them | 15:56 |
| jelkner | when they say "yes, she really contributed to that project", she will have arrived! | 15:57 |
| thomasboimah | Okay | 15:57 |
| jkollie_ | jelkner | 15:57 |
| jelkner | yes, jkollie_ | 15:57 |
| jelkner | i'm hoping we can continue to get help from natalia, btw | 15:57 |
| jelkner | she does beautiful work | 15:58 |
| jkollie_ | will you be able to send me links to the projects you people do | 15:58 |
| jelkner | but she is available sometimes, and other times not | 15:58 |
| jelkner | definitely, jkollie_ | 15:58 |
| jelkner | everything we do is going to be discussed right here | 15:58 |
| jkollie_ | that will be good | 15:58 |
| jelkner | so you're in the right place! ;-) | 15:58 |
| jkollie_ | thanks | 15:59 |
| jelkner | so klarios, we need to handle two clients in the immediate term | 15:59 |
| klarios | +1 yep you can always count on me to show you as well | 15:59 |
| jelkner | VASEN and Maryland Legislative Latino Caucus | 15:59 |
| klarios | The industrial commons, Vasen, and MD Latino Caucus | 15:59 |
| jelkner | ah, 3 clients | 16:00 |
| jelkner | i think we also need to keep "practicing" with our own websites | 16:00 |
| jelkner | i can afford to hire jetro to work on those | 16:00 |
| klarios | im not sure about TIC yet but they are definitely willing to put in the word for us | 16:00 |
| klarios | yep | 16:00 |
| jelkner | so that will be a great way to know when they are ready | 16:00 |
| klarios | secosol is a great example! | 16:00 |
| jelkner | SECOSOL, SJC, NOVA Web, and Jetro Web | 16:01 |
| klarios | I am still waiting on thomasboimah gabriel_jetro mulbah to help me with that blog integration | 16:01 |
| jelkner | btw. Jetro, i have a web task for you now | 16:01 |
| klarios | and the members | 16:01 |
| jelkner | wanna hear it? | 16:01 |
| thomasboimah | Go for it jelkner | 16:01 |
| mulbah | Yes | 16:01 |
| jelkner | this is for your own website | 16:01 |
| jelkner | here's what i want: | 16:02 |
| gabriel_jetro | Sure | 16:02 |
| jelkner | 1. As a viewer of the Jetro Web development site, i want to see a page describing the mentors who helped the coop get started | 16:02 |
| jelkner | 2. this web page should have 3 people on it: Isaac Zawolo, Jeff Elkner, and Spencer Cooper | 16:03 |
| jelkner | i also want to see jeff disappear from everywhere else on the site | 16:03 |
| jelkner | he should only be on this page along with isaac and spencer | 16:03 |
| jelkner | on the front page, only the 7 worker-owners should be featured | 16:04 |
| jelkner | ACTION dont | 16:04 |
| jelkner | ACTION done | 16:04 |
| jelkner | lol | 16:04 |
| jelkner | you can invoice me for the time, but it shouldn't take you too long ;-) | 16:04 |
| jelkner | that is my "user story" | 16:05 |
| jelkner | questions? | 16:05 |

| klarios has quit (Quit: Page closed) | 16:10 | |
| jelkner | fkoikoi, are you here? | 16:10 |
| jelkner | jetro folks, can we talk about the office? | 16:11 |
| fkoikoi | i'm here jelkner | 16:11 |
| fkoikoi | +1 | 16:11 |
| jelkner | great, i talk to mr. zawolo regularly | 16:11 |
| jelkner | he tells me some of you are getting frustrated with how long this is taking | 16:12 |
| jelkner | so i wanted to check-in with you | 16:12 |
| jelkner | i'm really happy about the research you have done fkoikoi | 16:12 |
| jelkner | that is SO important | 16:12 |
| jelkner | some things will take time | 16:12 |
| jelkner | A LOT of time, in some cases | 16:12 |
| jelkner | for example, the school we want to build is years away | 16:13 |
| jelkner | we'll never get it unless we have the capacity to plan long term, and to follow through on our plans | 16:13 |
| jelkner | the office is much shorter term | 16:13 |
| jelkner | but we still needed to plan | 16:13 |
| jelkner | fkoikoi, you are in regular touch with mr. zawolo, yes? | 16:13 |
| fkoikoi | yes | 16:14 |
| jelkner | so please try to work with him now to make a more specific plan | 16:14 |
| jelkner | he says he will provide funding toward the project | 16:15 |
| jelkner | we didn't talk about how much, but i am going to ask him to go in 50-50 with me | 16:15 |
| jelkner | you need a year rent, right? | 16:15 |
| fkoikoi | yes | 16:15 |
| jelkner | i know you found places with costs that ranged from $95 to $140 per month | 16:16 |
| fkoikoi | that's right | 16:16 |
| jelkner | jetro and mr. zawolo need to agree on which place you are going to try for | 16:16 |
| jelkner | you need between $1140 and $1680 | 16:17 |
| jelkner | if he covers half and i cover half | 16:17 |
| jelkner | that's between $570 and $840 each | 16:18 |
| jelkner | i can't do the $840 at once | 16:18 |
| jelkner | with the other stipend i've been sending | 16:18 |
| jelkner | that's why we needed to save | 16:18 |
| jelkner | daniel sent me the bank statement | 16:19 |
| jelkner | looks like you've been saving | 16:19 |
| jelkner | so it looks like we could move ahead | 16:19 |
| fkoikoi | alright, I will reach out to him and get back to you before Tuesday | 16:19 |
| jelkner | but you need to confirm with mr. zawolo that he is ready to contribute, and then figure out how we get the money to you | 16:19 |
| jelkner | last thing to say on this | 16:20 |
| jelkner | he is coming to Liberia in August | 16:20 |
| jelkner | so at the very latest | 16:20 |
| jelkner | you could get the place then | 16:20 |
| jelkner | let's make that the goal | 16:20 |
| jelkner | no later than August | 16:20 |
| jelkner | sound good? | 16:20 |
| jelkner | are you ok with that? | 16:21 |
| fkoikoi | +1 | 16:21 |
| fkoikoi | that's cool jelkner | 16:21 |

| jelkner | that would be awesome | 16:23 |
