| anand_nachnani | Good morning | 11:16 |
| jelkner | So, I was expecting klarios and the members of jetro web to be here. | 11:17 |
| jelkner | They're not here, which is disappointing, but we are, so let's proceed as best as we can. | 11:17 |
| anand_nachnani | Ok | 11:17 |
| jelkner | It is great to have you back with us for a few weeks! | 11:17 |
| anand_nachnani | Its great to be back | 11:17 |
| jelkner | Why don't we start by having you tell me where you left off last Summer. | 11:18 |
| jelkner | What were you working on? | 11:18 |
| anand_nachnani | For school? | 11:18 |
| jelkner | What did we describe as our business plan at that time? | 11:18 |
| jelkner | No, for NOVA Web. | 11:18 |
| anand_nachnani | Oh | 11:18 |
| jelkner | LOL, while I'd love to hear what you are doing at school, it's not especially relevant here now ;-) | 11:19 |
| anand_nachnani | Your business plan was to integrate decidim into nonprofits and ultimately the government | 11:19 |
| jelkner | yup, and that still is our plan | 11:19 |
| jelkner | or I should say 1/2 of our plan | 11:19 |
| anand_nachnani | Whats the other part? | 11:20 |
| jelkner | the other half is doing what we've been doing since 2012 - building websites for non-profits, progressive organizations, etc. | 11:20 |
| anand_nachnani | ok. | 11:21 |
| jelkner | we historically focused on Django, but we have done some PHP sites. | 11:21 |
| jelkner | Here is the bottom line from a business point of view | 11:21 |
| anand_nachnani | What will my job be for these 2 weeks?l | 11:21 |
| jelkner | We need to be able, I would say within about 1 more year | 11:22 |
| jelkner | to generate enough revenue to support Kei on the NOVA Web side and the 7 members of Jetro Web in Liberia | 11:22 |
| jelkner | if you remember, our first guiding principle is: We want to make a living, not a killing. | 11:23 |
| jelkner | Well, we're in NO danger of making a killing!! ;-) | 11:23 |
| jelkner | The hard part is the making a living | 11:23 |
| jelkner | we need to crack that nut to survive | 11:23 |
| anand_nachnani | That makes sense | 11:23 |
| jelkner | Since the cost of living is radically cheaper in Liberia | 11:23 |
| jelkner | to give you some idea, we are looking now at renting office space for Jetro Web, and we are expecting to pay around $120 for a 2 to 3 bedroom apartment | 11:24 |
| jelkner | the secret to our mutual success in the short run will be providing access to the U.S. market to the Jetro developers | 11:25 |
| jelkner | skilling them up has been a main focus | 11:25 |
| jelkner | and we are making significant progress with that | 11:25 |
| anand_nachnani | Great | 11:25 |
| jelkner | in the medium to longer term, Decidim support is our hope for earning more solid revenue in the U.S. | 11:26 |
| jelkner | We have also made significant progress there | 11:26 |
| jelkner | but Kei is in charge of that | 11:26 |
| jelkner | so without her being here, it is hard for me to give you concrete tasks | 11:26 |
| anand_nachnani | Ok | 11:27 |
| jelkner | i need to leave in 15 minutes to be an SOL hall monitor | 11:27 |
| anand_nachnani | She can text me what she wants done if needed | 11:27 |
| jelkner | so what i can do is to send an email to Kei and Jetro telling them to look at this log file here | 11:27 |
| jelkner | no, let's use email | 11:28 |
| jelkner | text is not best | 11:28 |
| jelkner | since Jetro folks cann't see it | 11:28 |
| Anand_nachnani_ | Ok | 11:28 |
| jelkner | for transparency and effective communication - email (asynchronous) and irc (synchronous) are our tools of choice | 11:28 |
| jelkner | plus this channel is auto logged publicly | 11:29 |
| Anand_nachnani_ | That makes sense | 11:29 |
| jelkner | so it is easy to see what was discussed if you aren't here | 11:29 |
| anand_nachnani has quit (Remote host closed the connection) | 11:29 | |
| Anand_nachnani_ | Ok | 11:29 |
| jelkner | let me think if i can give you something useful to do until you hear from Kei. | 11:30 |
| jelkner | You can make yourself an account here: https://decidim.novawebdevelopment.org/ | 11:30 |
| Anand_nachnani_ has quit (Remote host closed the connection) | 11:30 | |
| jelkner | LOL, as a tech person, you can also figure out why your irc connection keeps dropping! | 11:31 |
| Anand_Nachnani | I will do that | 11:31 |
| jelkner | did you see my second message? | 11:32 |
| jelkner | LOL, as a tech person, you can also figure out why your irc connection keeps dropping! | 11:32 |
| jelkner | ok, I'm going to send an email now. | 11:32 |
| Anand_Nachnani | lol I will | 11:32 |
| jelkner | Thursday Kei usually comes in at 1 pm. | 11:32 |
| jelkner | It would be great if you could join us then. | 11:33 |
| jelkner | no need to be here physically until then | 11:33 |
| jelkner | I'll check in later today for email. | 11:33 |
| jelkner | Great having you back with us Anand_Nachnani! | 11:33 |
| Anand_Nachnani | That sounds good | 11:33 |
| Anand_Nachnani | I'm glad to be back! | 11:34 |
| jelkner | ACTION logs off to go walk the halls for SOLs :-( | 11:34 |
| jelkner has quit (Quit: Leaving) | 11:34 | |
