|---|---|---|
| svaye | Good afternoon, thomasboimah. How are you? | 12:24 |
| thomasboimah | I'm good thanks for asking | 12:27 |
| dcammue | Good afternoon thomasboimah and svaye | 12:28 |
| svaye | Good afternoon dcammue | 12:28 |
| thomasboimah | Good afternoon dcammue | 12:28 |
| svaye | Gabriel won't be here today, he low on cash. | 12:29 |
| thomasboimah | Yesterday, I started working on the next issue Chris created for the Todo app. I plan to complete it today and make a commit. No blockers. | 12:30 |
| thomasboimah | ACTION done | 12:31 |
| svaye | Yesterday I had a meeting with klarios where are successfully logged in to bitwarden, but I couldn't access the database in gnucash. Today I plan to talk with jelkner to see if I can connect to the database today. Blocker is not being able to access the gnucash database. | 12:31 |
| svaye | ACTION done | 12:31 |
| jkollie | I apologize for not being online yesterday, I was out of data. Today i'll be looking at the saltillo instance to understand some | 12:31 |
| jkollie | of the component they used and try them out as discussed in our last Decidim meeting. | 12:31 |
| jkollie | ACTION done | 12:31 |
| jelkner | Yesterday I initiated the wire transfer for August and September. Today I will finish that process. Blocking on the credit union completing the transaction. | 12:32 |
| jelkner | ACTION done | 12:32 |
| dcammue | Yesterday, I look into gnucash and also tried logging in with the credentials jelkner shared with us for the gnucash role but it was not working. Today, I wish to get the correct one from jelkner . | 12:33 |
| dcammue | Blocks, was not able to login yesterday | 12:34 |
| dcammue | ACTION done | 12:34 |
| jelkner | ok, we've all gone | 12:35 |
| jelkner | stand up meeting over | 12:35 |
| jelkner | Good afternoon thomasboimah, dcammue, jkollie, and svaye! | 12:36 |
| jelkner | Apologies for being late | 12:36 |
| svaye | Good morning jelkner | 12:36 |
| jelkner | i got distracted and didn't watch the time | 12:36 |
| thomasboimah | Good morning jelkner np | 12:36 |
| jkollie | Good morning jelkner | 12:36 |
| dcammue | Okay | 12:36 |
| jelkner | lol, it *is* a problem, thomasboimah, but i'll work hard to make sure it very seldom happens! ;-) | 12:37 |
| thomasboimah | OKay | 12:37 |
| jelkner | ok, let's figure out what we can accomplish during the rest of this week | 12:37 |
| jelkner | i'm leaving for a family visit to New Jersey today | 12:38 |
| jelkner | and I won't be back until Saturday evening | 12:38 |
| jelkner | i was thinking i might be able to connect to our morning meetings from there, but i think that is probably not the best plan | 12:38 |
| jelkner | mainly because cjones is away too, so we will be limited in what we can do on: | 12:39 |
| jelkner | 1. ToDo App | 12:39 |
| jelkner | 2. Gnucash workflow | 12:39 |
| jelkner | we need both cjones and jelkner around to move that work forward | 12:39 |
| dcammue | +1 | 12:40 |
| jelkner | so i think we should focus on other things that y'all can do in our absence | 12:40 |
| jelkner | and we should resume work on those main tasks next week | 12:40 |
| jelkner | dcammue, we need to get the wire transfer completed | 12:40 |
| dcammue | Okay jelkner | 12:40 |
| jelkner | in 20 minutes the credit union opens, and i will call them | 12:40 |
| jelkner | it looks like it is being processed | 12:41 |
| dcammue | Great | 12:41 |
| jelkner | but i have to sign an electronic document to complete the process | 12:41 |
| dcammue | Okay jelkner I got you | 12:42 |
| jelkner | i transferred $2590 | 12:42 |
| jelkner | let's talk about that, so you all can budget properly | 12:42 |
| jelkner | originally, that amount was supposed to have $1K for the Jetro Office | 12:43 |
| jelkner | but we agreed that without Mr. Zawolo, we are not ready to proceed on that | 12:43 |
| dcammue | +1 | 12:43 |
| jelkner | i really hope he is ok, since he has "dropped off the map" | 12:43 |
| jelkner | and i have no way of contacting him | 12:44 |
| jelkner | on August 19 i'll be back at work | 12:44 |
| jelkner | and he should be too | 12:44 |
| jelkner | so i'll be able to see him each work day again | 12:44 |
| jelkner | we can resume discussion of the Jetro office then | 12:44 |
| jelkner | one other thing i can share with you, so you are aware of what is going on | 12:45 |
| jelkner | we scheduled a dinner meeting with zOnny, klarios, sahnun, and jelkner on Saturday, August 30th. | 12:45 |
| jelkner | the topic of our meeting will be the 4th Reboot of NOVA Web Development | 12:46 |
| jelkner | it is hard for you to track all the activity going on over here from Liberia | 12:46 |
| jelkner | but we need to try to help you understand it | 12:46 |
| thomasboimah | yes! | 12:47 |
| jelkner | since as business managers, you will be making decisions that effect both your business there | 12:47 |
| jelkner | *and* NOVA Web, SECOSOL, and SJC | 12:47 |
| dcammue | +1 | 12:47 |
| jelkner | klarios really needs to find a way to earn a living | 12:47 |
| jelkner | it is crucial for her | 12:47 |
| jelkner | she can't have a place to live or food to eat if we don't figure that out | 12:48 |
| jelkner | SECOSOL is being a huge help to her right now | 12:48 |
| jelkner | They have a cleaning cooperative, Magic Broom | 12:48 |
| jelkner | and they are starting a translators cooperative, to provide live interpretation (English to Spanish and Spanish to English) | 12:49 |
| jelkner | klarios is working with both of those things | 12:49 |
| jelkner | Magic Broom is earning her some income already | 12:49 |
| jelkner | but that makes things hard | 12:49 |
| jelkner | she spends all day cleaning, and she doesn't have time for NOVA Web | 12:49 |
| jelkner | there are only so many hours in a day | 12:50 |
| jelkner | part of the 4th Reboot will be to get some start up capital so that she can have the time she needs to focus on the business | 12:50 |
| jelkner | so much is at stake | 12:50 |
| jelkner | if we don't plan effectively, we could squander our limited resources and be out of business | 12:51 |
| jelkner | but Kei and I both feel now is the time to make our move | 12:51 |
| jelkner | we have several opportunities that won't be here always: | 12:51 |
| jelkner | 1. We have a relationship with the Next System project and their plans for "Teach-ins" around the country (and beyond) using Decidim. | 12:52 |
| jelkner | 2. We have a growing relationship with Octree in Switzerland that has been doing Decidim support since 2019 | 12:52 |
| jelkner | 3. We have an opportunity with our new NOVA SEN (Northern Virginia Solidarity Economy Network) to try out Decidim as an organizing tool in practice | 12:53 |
| jelkner | 4. We still have previous NOVA Web customers that we could begin serving again, especially the Maryland Latino Legislative Caucus | 12:54 |
| jelkner | so this Fall is the time to make our move | 12:54 |
| thomasboimah | Yep! | 12:54 |
| dcammue | Wow, that's great news and opportunities for klarios. I am excited to hear such. | 12:54 |
| jelkner | i will feel *so* much better doing that if zOnny is with us. | 12:55 |
| svaye | That's wonderful jelkner | 12:55 |
| jkollie | sounds great | 12:55 |
| thomasboimah | Not only klarios dcammue but for all of us | 12:55 |
| jelkner | He is a full stack web developer who is particularly strong where most of us are weak, in design | 12:55 |
| jelkner | also, like i mentioned, zOnny is now only one course away from finishing his CS degree at UoPeople | 12:56 |
| jelkner | (he needs Calculus II) | 12:56 |
| jelkner | so he can be a huge help to thomasboimah and gabriel in navigating their studies | 12:56 |
| thomasboimah | sure | 12:56 |
| dcammue | Yes | 12:57 |
| jelkner | with zOnny, Tony, thomasboimah, gabriel, and mulbah as our dev team | 12:57 |
| jelkner | we are really starting to have something | 12:57 |
| jelkner | and with cjones, sahnun and jelkner as mentors | 12:57 |
| jelkner | the dev team has the support they need to quickly develop | 12:57 |
| jelkner | we have always been weak on marketing | 12:58 |
| jelkner | so we will need to address that problem | 12:58 |
| jelkner | klarios will have to play an active role in that | 12:58 |
| thomasboimah | yes | 12:58 |
| dcammue | Great idea | 12:58 |
| jelkner | and we will rely on help from the young super start business students in arlington public schools (devesh will help us coordinate them) | 12:58 |
| jelkner | ok, i think that's enough for now | 12:59 |
| svaye | jelkner: I am sure the business team are ready to learn. | 12:59 |
| jelkner | yes, svaye, i know you are! ;-) | 12:59 |
| jelkner | i have confidence in you | 12:59 |
| jelkner | ok dcammue, you and i need to follow up on the wire transfer | 13:00 |
| dcammue | Okay | 13:00 |
| jelkner | otherwise, we will meet again next on monday at the regular time and place | 13:00 |
| jelkner | monday, august 11 | 13:00 |
| jelkner | anything for me before i go? | 13:01 |
| dcammue | So I will be here until you get me aware right? | 13:01 |
| jelkner | i'll email you dcammue | 13:01 |
| jelkner | since i don't know when things will happen | 13:01 |
| dcammue | Okay I will be awaiting | 13:01 |
| jelkner | i'm going to call the credit union now | 13:01 |
| dcammue | Your mail | 13:01 |
| jelkner | +1 | 13:02 |
| jelkner | okie dokie everyone | 13:02 |
| svaye | Have a safe and wonderful trip jelkner | 13:02 |
| jelkner | svaye, btw. if you hear anything from mr. zawolo before 8/19, *please* let me know! | 13:02 |
| svaye | Alright jelkner | 13:02 |
| jelkner | thanks svaye, see you next monday | 13:03 |
| dcammue | jelkner: you said that we should figure out what to do in the absence of jelkner and cjones | 13:03 |
| dcammue | So do you have idea of what we will be focusing on in the absence of jelkner and cjones? | 13:03 |
| jelkner | i have a suggestion for you dcammue | 13:03 |
| dcammue | Okay | 13:03 |
| jelkner | you should read about financial accounting | 13:03 |
| jelkner | hold on | 13:03 |
| jelkner | This book looks really good to me: https://openstax.org/details/books/principles-financial-accounting | 13:05 |
| jelkner | Also, dcammue and svaye, i have been trying to model a workflow i use when i am learning something new: | 13:05 |
| dcammue | I will take a look | 13:05 |
| jelkner | 1. I create a git repo | 13:05 |
| svaye | jelkner: klarios doesn't have access to the todo app | 13:06 |
| jelkner | 2. I take organized notes in Markdown files in the repo | 13:06 |
| jelkner | none of us do yet svaye | 13:06 |
| dcammue | +1 | 13:06 |
| dcammue | We need to learn that | 13:06 |
| jelkner | we agreed that cjones and thomasboimah will let us know when they have a minimum viable project we can begin testing | 13:06 |
| jelkner | they aren't there yet | 13:06 |
| jelkner | YES, dcammue | 13:06 |
| jelkner | it would be a huge help to me if dcammue and svaye could learn that work flow | 13:07 |
| svaye | jelkner: I receive an email everytime a PR is made. | 13:07 |
| jelkner | one of our goals this year will be for the business team to learn the same git workflow that the dev team uses | 13:07 |
| jelkner | thomasboimah can help teach us | 13:07 |
| jelkner | since he is learning from cjones | 13:07 |
| thomasboimah | +1 | 13:08 |
| dcammue | +1 | 13:08 |
| jelkner | we can have shared notes, branches, and merge requests | 13:08 |
| jelkner | so that together we refine our shared docs | 13:08 |
| jelkner | ok, dcammue do you think you can use the rest of the week to focus on that? | 13:08 |
| jelkner | create a git repo for yourself on codeberg | 13:08 |
| jelkner | start taking notes | 13:08 |
| jelkner | and have something to show me when i return on monday | 13:09 |
| jelkner | complete with a rich commit history! ;-) | 13:09 |
| dcammue | Right away Sir | 13:09 |
| jelkner | lol | 13:09 |
| jelkner | that would be great | 13:09 |
| svaye | jelkner: klarios and I have a shared repo, can I put it there? | 13:09 |
| jelkner | definitely svaye! | 13:09 |
| jelkner | then just show me where that is next week | 13:10 |
| svaye | Alright | 13:10 |
| jelkner | ok, i need to go or i won't be able to call the bank | 13:10 |
| jelkner | see you all next week | 13:10 |
| jelkner | ACTION logs off until next monday | 13:10 |
| *** jelkner has quit (Quit: Leaving) | 13:10 | |
| dcammue | See you on Monday August 11 at 12:30 UTC | 13:10 |
| svaye | Have a wonderful day everyone | 13:15 |
| svaye | ACTION signs off | 13:15 |
