| mulbah | Hi freena | 10:44 |
| freena | thomasboimah: and mulbah | 10:47 |
| mulbah | yes | 10:48 |
| jelkner | Good morning mulbah thomasboimah and freena | 10:52 |
| thomasboimah | Good morning jelkner | 10:52 |
| mulbah | Good morning jeff | 10:52 |
| jelkner | is freena here? | 10:52 |
| thomasboimah | +1 | 10:53 |
| freena | I'm here jelkner | 10:53 |
| freena | Good morning jelkner | 10:53 |
| jelkner | Great. Should we start our stand up meeting early? | 10:54 |
| thomasboimah | yeah, that way we will have more time | 10:54 |
| freena | +1 | 10:54 |
| jelkner | Great. | 10:54 |
| jelkner | Ok, I'm about to send the June 1st payment. | 10:55 |
| jelkner | $1000.00 | 10:55 |
| jelkner | We should talk about that. | 10:55 |
| jelkner | I also spoke with Mr. Zawolo immediately after our meeting yesterday | 10:55 |
| jelkner | and told him that there I things we need him to do that I can't do | 10:56 |
| jelkner | like help guide freena in learning about the location for the Jetro Web office | 10:56 |
| jelkner | and thinking about how it fits into future economic development plans | 10:56 |
| jelkner | i told him freena said they hadn't talked since 5/12 | 10:56 |
| jelkner | and he immediately sent her a message | 10:57 |
| jelkner | freena, did you get to talk with him? | 10:57 |
| freena | +1 | 10:57 |
| freena | Yesterday and this morning as well | 10:58 |
| jelkner | Excellent! | 10:58 |
| jelkner | Please keep us updated in these stand up meetings with your progress | 10:58 |
| jelkner | that will be the idea | 10:58 |
| freena | Alright | 10:58 |
| jelkner | we meet to keep each other informed about what we are working on | 10:58 |
| jelkner | so we can better coordinate our activity | 10:59 |
| jelkner | so we can "pull the cart in the same direction" as the saying goes ;-) | 10:59 |
| jelkner | freena, i mentioned to Mr. Zawolo that we need an A plan and a B plan | 10:59 |
| jelkner | A plan is he comes to Liberia in August and helps you sign a lease while he is there. | 11:00 |
| mulbah | jeff I will send you the invoice of the work we did today | 11:00 |
| jelkner | If something comes up and he can't go, we need a B plan, which will entail you at Jetro signing the lease on your own. | 11:00 |
| jelkner | Great mulbah | 11:01 |
| freena | Yes jelkner, we talked about that this morning | 11:01 |
| jelkner | wonderful, freena | 11:01 |
| jelkner | that is so good to hear | 11:01 |
| jelkner | please communicate with him on a regular basis | 11:02 |
| freena | +1 | 11:02 |
| jelkner | ok, what else? | 11:02 |
| freena | I will like to share something with you jelkner | 11:02 |
| jelkner | go for it! | 11:02 |
| freena | It's about what thomasboimah email you some time ago | 11:03 |
| jelkner | i get lots of wonderful emails from thomasboimah | 11:04 |
| jelkner | you'll have to remind me which one you are talking about ;-) | 11:04 |
| freena | Okay let me give details | 11:04 |
| freena | About Jetro Web trying to make the cooperative known in Liberia too | 11:05 |
| jelkner | Yes, I remember. I was thrilled to see that email. | 11:06 |
| jelkner | Since it meant you are starting to think like business owners. | 11:06 |
| freena | I think that it's about time we do that so that by the time we have our office space, we will start making headlines | 11:06 |
| jelkner | Taking initiative, and forming long term business plans | 11:07 |
| jelkner | while i fully agree, freena | 11:07 |
| jelkner | we need to keep one thing in mind | 11:07 |
| jelkner | before you can market your services, you need to develop your product | 11:07 |
| freena | +1 | 11:08 |
| jelkner | what thomasboimah did with fixing NOVA Web's email system is a great start! | 11:08 |
| jelkner | you handled a customer need, solved the customer's problem | 11:08 |
| jelkner | delivered the goods! | 11:08 |
| jelkner | but if your main product is web application development | 11:08 |
| jelkner | you are not there yet | 11:09 |
| jelkner | i don't have confidence that i could come to jetro with a web application need | 11:09 |
| jelkner | that you would be able to deliver it | 11:09 |
| jelkner | not yet | 11:09 |
| jelkner | so we need to focus on that, right? | 11:09 |
| thomasboimah | Sure! | 11:10 |
| mulbah | I just send you it jeff | 11:10 |
| jelkner | thanks mulbah | 11:10 |
| freena | +1 | 11:10 |
| jelkner | i'll get to it later | 11:10 |
| jelkner | so we should be focused on that | 11:10 |
| jelkner | and i think the best way to do that is have me be your customer during the summer | 11:11 |
| jelkner | since i have so many needs! ;-) | 11:11 |
| jelkner | and i'm friendly and patient (mostly patient, anyway ;-) | 11:11 |
| freena | Okay jelkner | 11:11 |
| thomasboimah | sure;-) | 11:11 |
| jelkner | so i'll be waiting to see what thomasboimah mulbah and gabriel_jetro can come up with for the cosmetology and culinary websites | 11:12 |
| mulbah | okay jeff | 11:12 |
| gabriel_jetro | Okay | 11:12 |
| jelkner | you need to get to the point where you can do a much better job than cjone's students | 11:12 |
| jelkner | since they are in a beginner class on Django | 11:12 |
| mulbah | sure we can | 11:13 |
| jelkner | and you need to become pros | 11:13 |
| jelkner | i'm hoping next year you will be the mentors | 11:13 |
| jelkner | helping teach our students next spring how to create Django applications | 11:13 |
| jelkner | when you can do that, you will have arrived | 11:13 |
| jelkner | the best thing is that you have made huge progress learning how to learn in the tech space | 11:14 |
| jelkner | when i was there 3 summers ago, you were used to just being told what to do | 11:14 |
| jelkner | now you know you need to take ownership of your learning, and to use the vast resources online to direct your own learning | 11:15 |
| jelkner | reaching out for help when you need it | 11:15 |
| jelkner | but mostly using what is already there | 11:15 |
| jelkner | it was a struggle somethings to get you there (right, mulbah? ;-) | 11:16 |
| jelkner | but you did it! | 11:16 |
| mulbah | yes | 11:16 |
| jelkner | freena, do you have more to say on this? | 11:16 |
| jelkner | or are we finished with the topic for today? | 11:16 |
| freena | I don't have anything else to say jelkner | 11:17 |
| jelkner | anyone else? | 11:17 |
| thomasboimah | ACTION -1 | 11:17 |
| jelkner | same time and place tomorrow? | 11:17 |
| gabriel_jetro | +1 | 11:18 |
| jelkner | freena? | 11:18 |
| thomasboimah | +1 | 11:18 |
| freena | +1 jelkner | 11:18 |
| jelkner | great, freena i have a request for you | 11:19 |
| mulbah | jeff will you add the invoice to what you are sending?? | 11:19 |
| jelkner | mulbah, not this month | 11:19 |
| jelkner | it's too late | 11:19 |
| jelkner | i just sent it | 11:19 |
| jelkner | let's talk about that | 11:19 |
| jelkner | two things: | 11:20 |
| jelkner | 1. freena please ask Daniel to show to the meeting tomorrow | 11:20 |
| freena | Okay jelkner | 11:20 |
| jelkner | and ask him to prepare a short presentation of the Jetro budget with bank statement | 11:20 |
| mulbah | but you promise gabriel_jetro and I this month | 11:20 |
| jelkner | mulbah, what do you want me to do? | 11:20 |
| jelkner | i just sent the transfer | 11:20 |
| jelkner | here is what i did: | 11:21 |
| thomasboimah | jelkner, Daniel plan to go for Jetro back statement Saturday | 11:21 |
| thomasboimah | So by Monday he will send that to you | 11:21 |
| thomasboimah | I will be going with him | 11:21 |
| jelkner | 1. I took this document: https://share.mayfirst.org/s/GgwsjrHgotqoKC9 | 11:22 |
| jelkner | take a look at it | 11:23 |
| jelkner | it has items listed (including the 1st invoice i have received) for $860.00 | 11:23 |
| jelkner | i'll add a new sheet for the July transfer today | 11:24 |
| jelkner | mulbah, there is a lot to learn here, so you need to try to learn quick! | 11:24 |
| jelkner | i have been making transfers on the 1st of each month | 11:24 |
| jelkner | i try to do things on time | 11:24 |
| jelkner | so to get it there by 6/1 | 11:25 |
| jelkner | i needed to do the transfer now | 11:25 |
| jelkner | and i did | 11:25 |
| jelkner | there are 7 of you | 11:25 |
| jelkner | and you need to meet, discuss, and form a plan | 11:25 |
| jelkner | as long as i am the only source of revenue | 11:25 |
| jelkner | we are limited | 11:25 |
| jelkner | i can't go above $1000 to perhaps $1100 a month | 11:26 |
| jelkner | i just don't earn enough to go higher | 11:26 |
| jelkner | simple as that | 11:26 |
| jelkner | so you need to focus on how best to survive on that amount until *YOU CAN DO BILLABLE WORK*! | 11:27 |
| jelkner | when you can, we can expand that amount by having other sources of revenue | 11:27 |
| jelkner | so the quicker you develop your professional skills | 11:27 |
| jelkner | the sooner we can do that | 11:27 |
| jelkner | make sense mulbah? | 11:27 |
| gabriel_jetro | +1 | 11:28 |
| mulbah | +1 | 11:28 |
| jelkner | great | 11:28 |
| jelkner | let's meet again tomorrow and look at the Jetro bank balance | 11:28 |
| jelkner | and talk about immediate needs and plans | 11:28 |
| jelkner | sound good? | 11:28 |
| freena | +1 | 11:29 |
| thomasboimah | +1 | 11:29 |
| gabriel_jetro | +1 | 11:29 |
| thomasboimah | jelkner, Daniel plan to go for Jetro back statement Saturday | 11:29 |
| thomasboimah | So by Monday he will send that to you | 11:29 |
| thomasboimah | I will be going with him | 11:29 |
| jelkner | thanks thomasboimah | 11:29 |
| jelkner | great work | 11:29 |
| jelkner | managing expectations is so important | 11:29 |
| jelkner | so we will have that discussion monday | 11:29 |
| jelkner | not tomorrow | 11:29 |
| jelkner | tomorrow let's talk with Daniel about his skills development | 11:30 |
| jelkner | and svaye too, if she is available | 11:30 |
| gabriel_jetro | I'll inform her, jelkner | 11:31 |
| jelkner | you could be ready to charge for bookkeeping even sooner than web application development | 11:31 |
| jelkner | since it is less to learn to get started | 11:31 |
| thomasboimah | Okay | 11:31 |
| jelkner | great. i have to say, jetro friends, i *really* enjoy meeting with you! | 11:32 |
| jelkner | it feels like progress | 11:32 |
| jelkner | and that makes me feel good | 11:32 |
| jelkner | see you tomorrow | 11:32 |
| freena | Thanks jelkner | 11:32 |
