svayeDuring the weekend I messaged Mr Zawolo, but I didn't get a single reply. Today I will join the gnucash meeting with jelkner at 2:00pm UTC, but I won't be able to do other work because today is my brothers birthday, and they're celebrating with family members.

jelknernope12:33
jelknergreat, that was fast!12:33
klariosoh I do have a blocker. When using business tracker to attempt to create an invoice for Madre tierra & Ms. Scholl, it didn't work, I want to reach out to adrian or stefan soon12:33
jelknerhmmm...12:34
jelknerklarios, do you want a ride to the library?12:34
klariosit seems a lot of the functions dont work12:34
klariosthatd be great jelkner !12:34
jelknerok, can i please get everyone's attention12:34
jelkner?12:34
svaye+112:35
thomasboimah+112:35
jelknerthis process is working *very* well, btw!12:35
jkollie+112:35
jelkneri can read your standup summaries12:35
jelknerand quickly plan for the day and week ahead12:35
jelknerfor example, svaye, i think we don't have time to try to reach mr. zawolo now12:36
jelknernone of us have been able to for weeks12:36
jelkneri hope everything is ok with him, but for now, we need to plan without him12:36
jelkneri will send the wire transfer today12:36
jelkneri gave him a box of computers to deliver to you12:36
jelknerif he doesn't do that, i can't wire them, unfortunately :-(12:37
jelknerso let's hope he brings them12:37
jelknerotherwise, we will have to continue to make do with the equipment we have12:37
jelknerthomasboimah and svaye, i need to ask you to do something today12:37
svayeWhat is it jelkner ?12:38
jelknersvaye, if you want to miss our meeting today you can, dcammue is totally capable of covering for you12:38
thomasboimahACTION waiting for jelkner 12:38
jelknerthomasboimah, you have a gitlab account, yes?12:38
thomasboimah=112:38
thomasboimah+112:38
jelknerPlease see if you can access https://gitlab.com/novawebdevelopment/fourthrebootplan12:39
jelknerit's a private repo12:39
jelknerso only members should be able to see it12:39
jelknerbut i see you listed as a member12:39
svayejelkner: I will be in the meeting don't worry.12:39
jelknersvaye, more important is thomasboimah to help you set up a gitlab account12:39
jelknerand for you to get access to that planning repo12:40
jelkneri'll be talking with klarios about all this when i see her today12:40
jelknerin brief, we are going to try to make a very serious effort to restart NOVA Web Dev as a working business12:41
jelknerthat can support klarios and zOnny and Tony12:41
jelknerlol zOnny and Tony, it rhymes ;-)12:41
jelknerthat means developing a proper business plan, a budget, a timeline, etc.12:42
klariosyou put me on twice jelkner lol12:42
jelknerlol, i did that so you could fix it (just kidding)12:42
jelknerYou're there twice because your *so* important!12:43
jelkneri'll fix it12:43
jelknerok, klarios, let's talk about Business Tracker12:43
klariosyep yep. Our alliance with Guillaume will be crucial to developing a business plan for decidim. They've already done the success and fails, strenghts and weaknesess in their respective markets. Its up to us to develop a plan and plan for externalities 12:44
jelknerwe can't reach out to Stefan and/or Adrian and say "hey, Business Tracker is breaking, can you fix it?"12:44
jelknerThey can't do that12:44
jelknerit would take too much time12:44
jelknerand we can't afford them12:44
jelknerthey are friends12:44
klariosyeah I thought theyd be too busy and they cant volunteer to save us from drowning everytime12:44
jelknerso we *could* say, "We have been working on fixing Business Tracker ourselves, and we have this little bug we can't figure out."12:45
jelknerThat we *could* do.12:45
klariosperhaps thomasboimah can take a look at it. I think it might be a small fix 12:45
jelknerbut unless we are nearing the skill level where we can start taking over BT dev ourselves12:45
jelknerWe should stop using it12:45
jelknerthat will be part of our planning12:45
jelknerwe can't rely on infrastructure over which we have no control12:46
jelknerespecially mission critical infrastructure like that12:46
jelknerour goal should be for thomasboimah to learn to hack on it12:46
klariosyeah true that. If we are able to use gnu cash to make invoices that could be of great help!12:46
jelknerthat's a big lift, but he is the closest12:46
jelknerzOnny may be able to help him, not sure12:46
jelknercjones could look at it too12:47
svayeklarios: we can use gnucash for invoices12:47
jelknerwe are beginning to have a team with some skills12:47
jelknerthis will really test how much skill we have12:47
klariosgreat news!12:47
jelknerwhen we can take over BT development, i'll know we are ready12:47
klariosthank you svaye 12:47
jelkneryes, svaye 12:47
jelknerthat's a great idea12:47
jelknerthomasboimah, were you able to access the repo?12:48
thomasboimahYes!12:48
jelknersuper12:48
jelknercan you please help svaye do that too12:48
jelkneri like using Markdown for documentation12:49
thomasboimahsure12:49
jelknerit is fast, easy, light weight12:49
jelknerand combined with git12:49
jelkneryou have revision control12:49
jelkneri'll talk to cjones at our meeting about how we want the workflow to go12:49
svayejelkner: should I create an account on gitlab?12:49
jelknerperhaps we should be doing branches and merges12:49
jelknerso we all learn that12:49
jelkneryes, svaye 12:50
thomasboimahYes svaye 12:50
jelknerlol12:50
jelknerok, that's all i have for now12:50
jelknerklarios, can i pick you up at 9:45 am?12:50
jelkneryou need to be downstairs in front of your building12:50
jelknerso we can get to the library on time12:51
jelknerklarios, please confirm12:51
jelknersvaye, dcammue just so you know what we will be meeting about this morning12:51
klariosyes12:51
klariosthat's a good time jelkner 12:51
dcammueYes 32 utc12:52
jelkneri realized that having so many people sharing access to the same database for our financial data12:52
jelknersharing a single login / password was a *BAD* idea!12:52
dcammue*2 utc12:52
jelkneri spent saturday researching how roles work in postgres12:52
jelkner*very* cool12:52
jelknerroles in postgres are both users and groups12:53
jelknerso, i created a group role, gnucash, to own and have access rights to our gnucash databases12:53
jelkneri removed login from that role12:53
klariosahh I saw that jelkner good move12:53
jelknerso you can't login as gnucash12:53
jelknernow i can create roles for each user, klarios, dcammue, jelkner, ved, devesh, etc.12:54
jelknerand give them login, and the inherited privileges from the gnucash user12:55
jelknerthat means we can adjust everyone's access individually12:55
jelknerthomasboimah, gabriel_jetro have you taken the database course yet¿12:55
jelkneryet?12:55
jelknerbtw. zOnny is one class away from finishing his CS degree at UoPeople12:55
thomasboimahI plan to go for that next term12:56
jelknerso he will want to ask you all about the courses you're taking12:56
jelknerthomasboimah, that is a great idea!12:56
jelknerjust take that one course12:56
svayejelkner: can I select product manager as my role in gitli12:56
thomasboimahThat will be the only course i will be carrying12:56
svayeGitlab*12:56
jelknerand you'll be able to apply what you're learning in the real world, since you will be helping cjones admin our databases12:56
thomasboimahYep!12:57
jelknerok, anything else before i log off?12:57
svayejelkner: 12:57
jelknersvaye?12:57
svayeCan I select product manager as my role on gitlab?12:57
jelknerthat's a great question12:58
jelknerto which i don't really know the answer12:58
jelknergo ahead and do it12:58
jelknersince we can change it later if we need to12:58
jelkneri think that most closely matches what you are, svaye 12:58
jelknerso let's try that12:58
jelknerok, anything else?12:58
jelknertomorrow i'll have started the wire transfer, dcammue 12:59
jelknerso we can chat about that then12:59
svayeWhat's the reason we are using gitlab jelkner 12:59
dcammueOkay jelkner 12:59
jelknergreat question12:59
jelkneras you must know, NOVA Web is committed to software freedom12:59
jelkner"Use the people's software to help build the people's movement" is one of our core principles.13:00
jelknerGithub is *not* free software13:00
jelknerso we can't use it13:00
jelknerGitlab is free software, so we can13:00
jelknerthat's the reason13:00
svayeThanks jelkner 13:01
