jelknerwhat we need now more than anything is for y'all to really step up and learn to run your co-op.12:01
gabriel_jetro+112:02
jelknerWhat does that mean regarding your emails, svaye?  Well, it means it should not be my decision how you allocate your available assets.12:02
jelkneri'm just the donor12:02
jelkneryou need to figure that out12:02
dcammueYesterday, I attended the sat and sun meeting and made some research on IRS , today,  I was able to get the final tax form for NovaWebDev and I will be doing more research on it. We was to move in the office today,  but due to delay of painting the place by the house owner, we will move Wednesday. 12:02
dcammueACTION done12:02
thomasboimahThat's what i told her yesterday jelkner 12:03
jelkneri got involved last time because i thought you were not doing what needed to be done, and i wanted to help12:03
thomasboimahIt is for the team to decide not jelkner 12:03
jelkner+1!12:03
jelknerall jelkner will decide is the limits of the funding he can provide12:03
svaye+1 jelkner, I understand now12:04
thomasboimahWe need to get in the habit to make decision for our self if we are going to run a business12:04
jelknerso, svaye 12:04
jelkneryou all need to try to work together12:04
jelknerit will sometimes be a struggle12:04
jelknerhuman relations are just that way12:04
jelknerbut success means you are able to do it well enough to thrive12:04
thomasboimahyep!12:05
jelknergreat12:05
gabriel_jetro+212:05
gabriel_jetro+112:05

jelknerACTION done12:06
jelknergabriel_jetro: go ahead please, i have to get ready for class soon12:06
svayedcammue, how's your grandma doing now?12:07
svayeWill everyone be available Friday for us to move in the office?12:07
*** mulbah has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)12:07
thomasboimahjelkner, please let me know when you students ready to start on this site: https://anccfoundation.org/12:08
thomasboimahI want to be involve12:08
thomasboimah*your*12:08
jelknerWe need you to be involved, thomasboimah!12:09
jelknerbut if you remember from our meeting on saturday, zOnny will take the first round12:09
gabriel_jetroOkay firstly as you said we're a team and we need to work together, we're becoming professional and each of us have our own roles in the cooperate, as a business manager, I understand that it's svaye duty to collect all necessary information regarding the business and make a report, for the previous funds send, she have not been involved in transaction and secondly you give her the role to act as a staff person and we 12:09
gabriel_jetrohave not decided to change her at this moment, so we need to be more precise 12:09
dcammueMy grandmother is cool12:09
dcammueBut not really healthy yet12:09
svayejelkner, how far with the plan for the laptop campaign? You stated once that you wanted jetroweb to build the website.12:09
svayedcammue, do you think you will be available Friday?12:10
jelknergabriel_jetro: thanks for bringing this up12:10
jelknerperhaps this will help clarify12:10
jelknerfrom this point forward i am no longer sending monthly stipends12:10
jelknerinstead, SJC offered a $15K grant to help you all launch your business12:11
jelknerso far, $10K of that has been delivered12:11
jelknerwith $5K more to come12:11
jelkneryou have to figure out how to use that to begin generating revenue for yourselves12:11
jelknerwe still have a lot of things to work out12:12
jelknerespecially the process of billing and collecting efficiently12:12
jelknerso whatever "roles" you had in the past are now up to you12:12
jelknerif you don't choose wisely, you will fail12:13
jelknerif you do choose wisely, you can succeed12:13
jelknermake sense?12:13
svayejelkner, does that mean we can do away with the $400 per staff person and set up a new payroll that would include everyone that is working at the moment?12:13
jelknerYou can now manage all your funds as a collective with out me.12:13
gabriel_jetro+1, jelkner 12:14
svaye+112:14
jelknerLet's begin 2026 with a keen focus on the sustainability part of this12:14
jelkneri'm convinced that thomasboimah is ready for paid work12:15
jelkneri'm just telling you that so you understand12:15
gabriel_jetroI bring this to your attention because I had a conversation with dcammue the other day and he said the money allocated to the coop was only going for the staff personal12:15
jelkneri'll be happy to be his first customer, since i have a lot of work that needs doing, and he is ready to do it12:15
dcammueNo gabriel_jetro 12:15
thomasboimahyep! and i will be happy to have you as my customer12:16
dcammueThat's not what I said 12:16
svayedcammue, can you please send me the info of the credit card so I can be able to pay my fees at Uopeople without disturbing you all the time?12:16
jelknerI love y'all dearly, my friends, but only thomasboimah has convinced me so far he is ready to deliver work i am willing to pay for ;-)12:16
jelkneron the dev side12:16
jelkneri am also very pleased with the initiative jkollie has shown in our decidim work12:16
dcammueI told you that the money in the bank account currently is the staffs paid for February 12:16
jelknerand dcammue is beginning to convince me he will soon be ready to do books12:17
jelknerbut not yet12:17
dcammueSo we can not take money to distribute it to you guys12:17
jelknerthis is just my advice, since you can do whatever you want at this point with your assets12:17
jelknerthey are yours12:17
jelknerif you don't use them to generate new ones12:18
jelkneryou will fail12:18
jelknerdoes that make sense?12:18
svaye+112:18
thomasboimahyep!12:18
jelkneri think you should start learning to have each of you track the work they do12:18
svayedcammue, 12:18
jelknerand have the co-op in business meetings figure out which work is needed12:18
dcammuesvaye: 12:19
jelknerand which work you wan to pay for12:19
jelknerhave "deliverables" to keep people accountable12:19
svayedcammue, please answer the question I just asked12:19
thomasboimahjelkner, I want to get thing clear I am still a staff person right?12:19
thomasboimahAnd i still get my $400 salary per month right?12:20
jelknerthomasboimah: technically, since i am not sending monthly stipends, i can't make that decision12:20
jelknerbut i ill say that if your comrades don't continue to pay you12:20
svayethomasboimah, jelkner is no longer sending stipend, so we get paid based on the work we do12:20
jelknerthey are crazy!12:20
jelknersince you are the closest thing Jetro has to being a real business12:20
jelkneri just want everyone to understand that you now need to manage your resources12:21
jelkneryou need to understand what is coming in, what is going out12:21
jelknerand whether those numbers tell a story of viability12:22
jelkneri'm *not* going to be sending separate transfers12:22
jelknerit that much clear?12:22
svayejelkner, There are three roles that are needed in the business right now.12:22
thomasboimahnot still clear to me jelkner, 12:23
jelknertell us, svaye 12:23
dcammuejelkner: 12:23
svaye1. Web developer, thomasboimah handles it well 12:23
svaye2. Bookkeeper. dcammue has more knowledge in that area as of now.12:24
dcammueWhat brought this whole conversation is that svaye wants to know if there are three staff members that you are aware of12:24
jelknerthis is a great conversation, dcammue 12:24
jelknerit shows how far Jetro has come12:24
jelkneri'm loving it!12:24
jelknerkeep going, svaye 12:25
jelkneryou mentioned 2, what's the 3rd?12:25
dcammueAnd who are they? Please tell her for clarification 12:25
svaye3. Business manager. dcammue and I was on this position but it's better he focuses on bookkeeping, if we want to move forward we need to master our position.12:25
jelknerok, let me make a few suggestions12:25
jelknerthen y'all can do what you want, since it is *YOUR* business, not mine12:26
jelkneryou can divide up your resources any way you want12:26
jelknerso, you could, for example, do something like this:12:26
jelknerWe think thomasboimah is our main potential revenue generator right now, since he is ready to charge for his Django skills, and he works long hours for us.12:27
jelknerSo we'll continue to allocate $400 per month to him.12:27
jelknerdcammue has been doing a lot with finances, and svaye is willing to make more time available for the co-op now to help manage the projects, so we'll allocate $200 (or whatever you decide) each month to them.12:28
jelknerjkollie has been doing great work with decidim, and we may be able to reach out to NOVASEN and ask if her work can be billable now12:29
jelknerwith clear deliverables12:29
jelknerthen we can pay her a portion of what comes in from that too12:29
jelkneryou'll need to learn to begin to keep financial records12:29
svayeI am not discussing the resources now jelkner if we understand our roles we will know how to bill for it, and who to run to if a problem occurs. I know you want it to be two point of contact but we are not in the number for that. It's better we have someone who understand their job than two people going in circle trying to figure out what they are doing.12:29
jelknerso you can do financial management12:29
*** mulbah has quit (Ping timeout: 480 seconds)12:30
jelknerNOVA Web is learning the same thing along with you12:30
jelknerwe don't know how to do it yet either :-(12:30
jelknerSo we're all learning together12:30
jelknerbut as the old man here who has failed to make NOVA Web work 3 times before12:30
jelkneri know what we need to make work12:30
jelkneri just don't know how to do it yet12:30
jelknersvaye: i was just giving you an example12:31
jelkneryou all can do whatever you want12:31
jelknerit's *YOUR* business12:31
svayejelkner, management is where I am talking about, we can't have one person doing bookkeeping and management of the same book. 12:31
jelknersvaye: the small web co-ops i know of12:32
jelknerall have had a single "office manager"12:32
jelknerwho acted as business manager and bookkeeper12:32
jelkneryou are small12:33
svayeIt will be like giving a steak to a lion to keep. we don't have to put dcammue in a tight spot.12:33
thomasboimahyes that what i though too jelkner and bookkeeper can be a business manager12:33
jelknerthe office management expense in an operating expense12:33
jelknerpaying for it needs to come out of what you generate from your billable work12:33
jelknerthat's one of the reasons so many small solidarity economy ecosystems end up offering bookkeeping as a service12:34
jelknersince they need to learn to do it for themselves anyway12:34
svayedcammue, and I can split the pay and the work, he can be the bookkeeper while I be the business manager12:34
jelknersince they can't afford to pay someone else12:34
jelkneronce they learn, the figure "why don't we offer this skill we now have to customers?"12:34
jelknerSECOSOL, SJC, and NOVA Web all depended on APS student volunteers12:35
jelknerto do our taxes and financial management last year12:35
jelknerthat isn't sustainable12:35
jelknersince the students are volunteers12:35
jelknerand if they are busy or can't otherwise provide the service, we have no recourse12:36
jelknerso i was suggesting that if y'all could learn to do the bookkeeping and taxes for SJC and NOVA Web this year12:36
jelkneryou could bill us for your time12:36
jelknerbu that means you have to work hard!12:37
jelknerand deliver the service12:37
jelkneri need to go everyone12:37
jelkneranything else for me before i do?12:37
jelknerthomasboimah: i get that you are feeling less than secure12:37
svayejelkner, the bookkeeping is not the main problem here. getting access to the tax system of America is.12:38
thomasboimahyes12:38
jelknersince before i could just say, "yes, thomasboimah gets $400"12:38
jelknerbut now you need to get your 6 other Jetro comrades to do that12:38
jelkneri'll just add that if they decide not to support you, they will be telling me that they don't want to succeed12:39
dcammueThanks for the time, jelkner 12:39
jelknersince you are the closest thing right now to a "marketable product" they have12:39
dcammueThis is getting more critical now12:39
jelknerdo you all understand what you need to do?12:40
thomasboimah+112:40
dcammueYes I do12:40
jelknersweet12:40
svayejelkner, thomasboimah is a staff person of jetroweb so he would definitely get his pay.12:40
jelknerthis is very encouraging12:40
jelknersince you are asking the kinds of questions that indicate how far you've come12:41
jelknerok, cjones is here, i gotta go12:41
thomasboimahOkay thanks jelkner 12:41
jelknersee you wednesday, same time, same place12:41

thomasboimahbase on this who is going to pay for jkollie work: <jelkner> jkollie has been doing great work with decidim, and we may be able to reach out to NOVASEN and ask if her work can be billable now12:44

svayeI am not asking for the card dcammue just the info12:55
svayenot*12:56
thomasboimahjust an advice it is not good to she can info through phone or something, because you may not be the one to use the card info to buy something online but some can mistakenly take it from behine and do that, so for me you and dcammue should meet and pay for you guys fees. and beside it is Jeff suppose to pay for you guys fees not Jetro12:57
svayedcammue, 12:57
