| svaye | During the week I started working on the SECOSOL gnucash database, but unfortunately I wasn't able to complete it due lack of electricity, however I believe I can complete it today. No blockers | 11:57 |
| svaye | ACTION done | 11:58 |
| jelkner | Yesterday i spent most of the day preparing for our SECOSOL board meeting. Today i'll be evaluating student final projects. No blockers. | 12:00 |
| jelkner | ACTION done | 12:00 |
| jelkner | dcammue, what happened yesterday? You missed our meeting with devesh. | 12:00 |
| jelkner | thomasboimah, are you going to report? | 12:00 |
| jelkner | svaye, i need to update you on the plans for the SECOSOL books | 12:01 |
| jelkner | zOnny, are you going into DC today? | 12:01 |
| zOnny | Yesterday I was reviewing our Linodes and chatting with Kei for updates regarding our active partners. No blockers | 12:01 |
| zOnny | jelkner no | 12:01 |
| jelkner | nice! ;-) | 12:01 |
| thomasboimah | During the weedend i work with zOnny no blocker | 12:01 |
| zOnny | The offices won't be open today | 12:02 |
| jelkner | great, more time for NOVA Web! ;-) | 12:02 |
| zOnny | Yes jelkner | 12:02 |
| zOnny | I didn't realize that it did snow a lot | 12:02 |
| jelkner | it's ice zOnny | 12:02 |
| jelkner | that's what makes it so hard to deal with | 12:03 |
| jelkner | my wife said it is very hard to walk out there | 12:03 |
| jelkner | she went out, i didn't | 12:03 |
| zOnny | Are you going to the Embassy? | 12:03 |
| jelkner | i don't think the embassy will be open | 12:03 |
| zOnny | you should call just in case | 12:04 |
| jelkner | if you aren't going in, i doubt the liberian emgbassy will open | 12:04 |
| jelkner | i plan to text and call them | 12:04 |
| jelkner | then i'll call mr. zawolo | 12:04 |
| jelkner | that's on my ToDo list for today | 12:04 |
| zOnny | I can give you a ride if they are open | 12:04 |
| jelkner | nice! | 12:04 |
| jelkner | it won't be today zOnny | 12:04 |
| jelkner | i'm almost certain they won't be open | 12:05 |
| zOnny | I agree | 12:05 |
| jelkner | ok, let's finish up here so we can get to work | 12:05 |
| jelkner | dcammue, are you here? | 12:05 |
| jelkner | thomasboimah, do you know what happened to jkollie? | 12:05 |
| jelkner | she has dropped off the map for the last several days | 12:05 |
| gabriel_jetro | No he left out, we're working on the machine at the office | 12:05 |
| jelkner | excellent, gabriel_jetro! | 12:06 |
| thomasboimah | I will check on her today | 12:06 |
| jelkner | thank you thomasboimah | 12:06 |
| jelkner | svaye, since dcammue isn't here | 12:06 |
| jelkner | let me update you | 12:06 |
| jelkner | you can look in the logs too | 12:06 |
| svaye | Alright | 12:06 |
| jelkner | dcammue, devesh and jelkner all started working on the SECOSOL books. | 12:07 |
| jelkner | we didn't get very far | 12:07 |
| jelkner | in fact, we only got to the first transaction on 2025-01-04, which was a payroll item | 12:07 |
| jelkner | we realized we don't know how to account for that | 12:07 |
| jelkner | it is a complex transaction | 12:08 |
| jelkner | with at least 3 tax accounts involved, as well as payroll expense | 12:08 |
| jelkner | we can't afford to mess this up | 12:08 |
| jelkner | so i called Lindsey Chapin, who is a bookkeeper and a family member | 12:09 |
| freena | Good morning jelkner | 12:09 |
| jelkner | my plan is to propose to the SECOSOL board that we hire Lindsey to train us in bookkeeping this year | 12:10 |
| jelkner | so we can hopefully be ready to launch the bookkeeping co-op next year | 12:10 |
| jelkner | and at least be ready to do our own taxes | 12:10 |
| jelkner | and those of NOVA Web and SJC | 12:10 |
| jelkner | so, svaye, you don't need to complete the SECOSOL books | 12:11 |
| jelkner | we aren't ready | 12:11 |
| jelkner | freena, do you know where jkollie is? | 12:11 |
| jelkner | i was hoping to meet with the two of you | 12:11 |
| svaye | Jelkner do you have any work for me? | 12:11 |
| jelkner | well, i believe you have work for yourself | 12:12 |
| jelkner | Jetro will need to file it's own taxes, yes? | 12:12 |
| svaye | Yes | 12:12 |
| jelkner | i am most interested in how the laws work in Liberia | 12:12 |
| jelkner | i'm hoping you'll school me on that | 12:12 |
| svaye | Alright jelkner I will focus on that | 12:13 |
| jelkner | and keep one more thing in mind as you do, svaye | 12:13 |
| jelkner | we want to purchase land to build a school, right? | 12:13 |
| svaye | +1 | 12:13 |
| jelkner | so you need to begin thinking about what "we" means in that context | 12:14 |
| freena | No jelkner but I can call her now | 12:14 |
| jelkner | please freena | 12:14 |
| jelkner | do it | 12:14 |
| jelkner | svaye, i need to understand what the equivalent in liberia is of a nonprofit organization | 12:14 |
| svaye | Jelkner I believe "we" means jetroweb and SJC | 12:14 |
| jelkner | no, i don't think so | 12:15 |
| jelkner | let me explain | 12:15 |
| jelkner | jetro is a for profit business | 12:15 |
| svaye | Oh we need a nonprofit organization here in Liberia | 12:15 |
| jelkner | it exists so that its members (you all) | 12:15 |
| *** zOnny has quit (Remote host closed the connection) | 12:15 | |
| jelkner | the school should be "owned" by an organization with a mission | 12:16 |
| jelkner | and not by any people | 12:16 |
| jelkner | yes, svaye | 12:16 |
| jelkner | we will need a nonprofit in liberia to own the school | 12:16 |
| jelkner | some of you will control it | 12:16 |
| jelkner | but you won't "own" it | 12:17 |
| jelkner | make sense? | 12:17 |
| jelkner | i can explain more if you like | 12:17 |
| svaye | So a nonprofit is not own by anyone but managed BT some individuals right? | 12:17 |
| gabriel_jetro | +1 | 12:17 |
| freena | +1 | 12:17 |
| jelkner | yes, svaye | 12:18 |
| svaye | By* | 12:18 |
| jelkner | let me give you an example, SECOSOL | 12:18 |
| gabriel_jetro | jelkner: I think hope bridge Liberia will be the best name for the nonprofit | 12:18 |
| jelkner | glad you have a proposal gabriel_jetro | 12:18 |
| svaye | So my assignment is to figure out a way we can establish a nonprofit here in Liberia, and understand the Liberian law as it relates to taxes right jelkner? | 12:18 |
| jelkner | let's talk when i get there | 12:18 |
| freena | jelkner: I called jelkner but didn't get her | 12:18 |
| jelkner | isn't hope bridge already in existance? | 12:19 |
| jelkner | tell me more about it | 12:19 |
| gabriel_jetro | I've done the Html of the page with it purpose, I would like to share it with the team to view and make any requests | 12:19 |
| gabriel_jetro | No jelkner | 12:19 |
| jelkner | ah, so this is a project of yours, you are not working for anyone else? | 12:20 |
| svaye | jelkner: I think hope bridge is a project gabriel_jetro started himself | 12:20 |
| gabriel_jetro | Yes, I'm doing it with the test | 12:20 |
| jelkner | got you | 12:20 |
| jelkner | nice! | 12:20 |
| jelkner | but i will say that as a revolutionary, "hope" isn't enough for me | 12:21 |
| jelkner | i want power and action | 12:21 |
| jelkner | lol | 12:21 |
| jelkner | and justice | 12:21 |
| jelkner | we can talk more when i'm there with you | 12:21 |
| svaye | "The bridge of justice " would be nice jelkner | 12:22 |
| gabriel_jetro | Okay jelkner | 12:22 |
| jelkner | nice | 12:22 |
| jelkner | anyway, its a group decision | 12:22 |
| jelkner | and we need to talk a lot about it | 12:22 |
| svaye | +1 | 12:22 |
| jelkner | i'm there for 27 days | 12:22 |
| jelkner | which will be a great time to do that | 12:22 |
| gabriel_jetro | I'll do draft of the page and send it through email | 12:23 |
| jelkner | +1 | 12:23 |
