| dcammue | Good morning svaye | 10:53 |
|---|---|---|
| svaye | Good morning dcammue, how are you doing? | 10:53 |
| freena | Good morning dcammue and svaye | 10:55 |
| svaye | Good morning freena | 10:55 |
| freena | How are you svaye | 10:55 |
| svaye | I am good, how are you doing? | 10:56 |
| thomasboimah | Good morning jelkner dcammue freena and svaye | 10:57 |
| jelkner | Morning all. | 10:57 |
| dcammue | Good morning thomasboimah | 10:57 |
| svaye | Good morning jelkner and thomasboimah | 10:57 |
| dcammue | Sorry for yesterday | 10:58 |
| freena | Good morning jelkner and thomasboimah | 10:58 |
| jelkner | Yesterday i spoke with both Tony and Kei, sent emails designed to move our process forward, and confirmed with my uncle that i'm coming to NJ saturday. Today i'll continue working with cjones and thomasboimah to finish our first ToDo item. No blockers. | 10:59 |
| svaye | Yesterday I went through gnucash features and found a feature for invoice, so I am hoping I can use it for the tododevelopment invoice because it will help me learn more about how gnucash can be used in our business. Today I will start with the invoice if I can get an approval from the team to use gnucash for the invoice. No blockers | 11:00 |
| thomasboimah | Yesterday, I completed my UoPeople Database discussion forum and did some of my assignment. I also created and assigned the billing task for the development and deployment work to svaye in the ToDo app (https://todo.jetrowebdevelopment.org). Today, I plan to do any work that Nova and Jetro Web have for me, but if there is none, I will complete my UoPeople assignment and do some reading on the Django documentation. No blockers." | 11:00 |
| jelkner | ACTION done | 11:00 |
| dcammue | Yesterday, I did my discussion forums and today, I plan to do one of my assignments. No blockers. | 11:00 |
| thomasboimah | ACTION done | 11:00 |
| svaye | ACTION done | 11:00 |
| dcammue | ACTION done | 11:00 |
| jelkner | ok, svaye we are in effect blocking on you. | 11:01 |
| svaye | Blocking on approval from the team | 11:01 |
| jelkner | so it is important that you figure out how to finish the first ToDo task, mark it as closed, so we can move on to the next one. | 11:01 |
| jelkner | i don't know what you mean | 11:01 |
| jelkner | svaye: your task is to pay joconnor and jetroweb for their completed work | 11:02 |
| jelkner | that's the task | 11:02 |
| jelkner | until we can: | 11:02 |
| freena | Yesterday I read and created a little summary and notes on what I read about chapter 1.1. Today I plan to move ahead with what I did yesterday | 11:02 |
| freena | ACTION done | 11:02 |
| jelkner | 1. Find customers who need work | 11:03 |
| svaye | jelkner, there is an invoice feature in gnuccash so I wandering if I can use it to send the invoice. | 11:03 |
| jelkner | 2. Do the work | 11:03 |
| jelkner | 3. Bill for the work | 11:03 |
| jelkner | 4. Receive payment | 11:03 |
| jelkner | 5. Pay the folks who did the work | 11:03 |
| gabriel_jetro | Greetings everyone, yesterday I work on editing my index.html file to link it with my about.html file, now i am making some changes to my about.html file for my the "Hope Bridge Liberia" website. There's no blocker for now. | 11:03 |
| gabriel_jetro | ACTION done | 11:03 |
| jelkner | until we can complete all of those steps "in our sleep" | 11:03 |
| jelkner | we won't be ready to do business professionally | 11:03 |
| jelkner | so please don't delay svaye | 11:04 |
| jelkner | you need to figure this out | 11:04 |
| jelkner | i'm the customer | 11:04 |
| dcammue | svaye: using gnucash to create the invoice has no need to be approved by the team. Is your task just do it and deliver | 11:04 |
| svaye | dcammue, are you on gnucash right now? | 11:04 |
| jelkner | dcammue: svaye needs to coordinate with klarios | 11:05 |
| gabriel_jetro | jelkner, | 11:05 |
| dcammue | No svaye | 11:05 |
| jelkner | since the money will go into the NOVA Web bank account | 11:05 |
| jelkner | and be distributed from there | 11:05 |
| svaye | There's always another user on gnucash when I try to use it, and I can't send an invoice if I am on read only | 11:05 |
| jelkner | so this is a communication challenge more than anything else | 11:05 |
| jelkner | you need to develop light, efficient workflow to do the 5 steps i listed | 11:06 |
| jelkner | we need to do those 5 steps over and over and over and over and over ;-) | 11:06 |
| jelkner | until it becomes automatic for us | 11:06 |
| jelkner | this first time will be hard | 11:06 |
| jelkner | 2nd time much easier | 11:07 |
| jelkner | etc. | 11:07 |
| jelkner | svaye: do you understand? | 11:07 |
| svaye | +1 | 11:07 |
| jelkner | great | 11:07 |
| jelkner | don't delay | 11:07 |
| dcammue | You can open gnucash with out using jetroweb database. Then create the invoice and export it to your computer | 11:07 |
| jelkner | since soon Jetro will only receive funds it can bill for | 11:08 |
| jelkner | so it needs to learn to bill! | 11:08 |
| jelkner | and collect | 11:08 |
| svaye | jelkner, you said something about two invoices | 11:08 |
| jelkner | yes | 11:08 |
| jelkner | svaye: i'm not totally sure how to think about this | 11:08 |
| jelkner | it may be 3 invoices even | 11:09 |
| jelkner | remember, i'm learning this along with you | 11:09 |
| jelkner | let's think it through | 11:09 |
| jelkner | SJC is the customer | 11:09 |
| svaye | Who are the three invoices from? | 11:09 |
| jelkner | NOVA Web is the provider | 11:09 |
| jelkner | follow me, svaye | 11:09 |
| svaye | okay | 11:09 |
| jelkner | i'm thinking this through now | 11:09 |
| jelkner | hopefully you can soon learn to do this kind of thinking too | 11:10 |
| jelkner | are you with me so far? | 11:10 |
| svaye | +1 | 11:10 |
| jelkner | SJC is the customer, NOVA Web is the provider, so that is invoice #1 | 11:10 |
| jelkner | NOVA Web invoices SJC for the completed work | 11:11 |
| jelkner | but now, svaye, what else needs to be done? | 11:11 |
| jelkner | ACTION waits for svaye to respond | 11:12 |
| svaye | There are other people who did the work but are not from Novaweb | 11:12 |
| jelkner | +1 | 11:12 |
| jelkner | nice! | 11:12 |
| jelkner | they are subcontractors | 11:12 |
| jelkner | who are they? | 11:12 |
| svaye | Jetroweb | 11:12 |
| jelkner | yup | 11:12 |
| jelkner | and... | 11:12 |
| svaye | James Connor | 11:13 |
| jelkner | +1 | 11:13 |
| jelkner | you rock svaye! | 11:13 |
| jelkner | so now you know where the 3 invoices come from | 11:13 |
| jelkner | make sense? | 11:13 |
| svaye | +1 | 11:13 |
| jelkner | excellent | 11:13 |
| svaye | So Nova web invoice is directed to SJC | 11:13 |
| jelkner | yup | 11:14 |
| jelkner | the other two invoices are directed to NOVA Web | 11:14 |
| svaye | Jetroweb and James Connor invoices are directed to Novaweb | 11:14 |
| jelkner | i may have mentioned the idea of a "retainer" | 11:15 |
| jelkner | since all this invoicing is going to get tedious | 11:15 |
| jelkner | especially for small stuff | 11:15 |
| jelkner | so soon (but not yet) we will set up a "retainer" between Jetro and NOVA Web | 11:15 |
| jelkner | where NOVA Web sends $10K (or something) to Jetro | 11:16 |
| jelkner | and Jetro just debits that account whenever work is completed | 11:16 |
| jelkner | so we don't have to keep sending individual invoices for each little thing | 11:16 |
| jelkner | but we will need to "account" for each little thing | 11:16 |
| jelkner | so svaye and dcammue need to learn proper bookkeeping! ;-) | 11:17 |
| jelkner | ok, i need to go | 11:17 |
| jelkner | svaye: you know what you need to do | 11:17 |
| jelkner | i'll keep checking with you each morning until its done | 11:17 |
| svaye | jelkner, so the two invoices are going to Novaweb right? | 11:18 |
| jelkner | yup | 11:18 |
| jelkner | think it through | 11:18 |
| jelkner | you need to work backwards | 11:18 |
| jelkner | find out from james how much he is billing | 11:18 |
| jelkner | ask thomasboimah how much jetro is billing | 11:18 |
| svaye | I sent him a mail yesterday, but he hasn't responded | 11:19 |
| jelkner | then add a bit of time for the bookkeeper at NOVA web (which will soon be you, svaye ;-) | 11:19 |
| jelkner | to do the bookkeeping | 11:19 |
| jelkner | and produce a total invoice from NOVA to SJC | 11:19 |
| jelkner | you can task me with being the "unstucker" | 11:20 |
| jelkner | when communication gets stuck | 11:20 |
| jelkner | it sometimes requires a squeaky wheel | 11:20 |
| jelkner | from the old expression "the squeaky wheel gets the oil" | 11:20 |
| jelkner | SQUEAK, SQUEAK!!!! | 11:20 |
| jelkner | see, i can do that ;-) | 11:21 |
| jelkner | seriously, i can call james | 11:21 |
| jelkner | and text him | 11:21 |
| jelkner | etc. | 11:21 |
| jelkner | if he doesn't respond | 11:21 |
| jelkner | if he wants to do this regularly, we will need to struggle with him to be more responsive | 11:21 |
| svaye | Perfect! I will let you know tomorrow if he doesn't respond then you can give him a call | 11:21 |
| jelkner | since we can't block on him for too long | 11:21 |
| jelkner | excellent svaye | 11:22 |
| jelkner | see you tomorrow, same time, same place | 11:22 |
