jelknersvaye: i find it is a nice idea to try to balance reading with doing12:02
jelknerso having both a theory task (reading) and a practice task (something concrete you accomplish) helps you be more productive12:02
jelknerdcammue: please check out the irc logs from yesterday12:02
dcammueOkay12:03
jelknerthomasboimah and dcammue, i had an additional long phone chat with zOnny12:03
fkoikoiDuring the week I did some research on both the technical and non technical aspect of decidim and read chapter 2 to 2.3.  Today I plan to continue 12:03
fkoikoiACTION done12:03
jelknerhe will be taking on more and more leadership as he figures out what is going on12:03
jelkneryou should all watch what he does, and try to do similarly ;-)12:03
thomasboimahsure12:03
gaprinhosure12:04
svayejelkner, what I am reading can't be apply now because jetroweb is not actively running a business in Liberia so the tax law doesn't affect us now.12:04
jelknerthe most important topic we talked about was moving Jetro to a business footing12:04
jelknersomething i've been discussing with you for almost 2 years now12:04
jelknerand which we are finally ready to do12:04
jelknerthomasboimah: did the two of you finish the PDF with instructions on how to create a Linode nanode for our customers?12:05
thomasboimah+112:05
jelknerawesome!12:05
jelknerdcammue: you need to learn how to do accounting for that12:05
jelknerlet's think about it12:05
jelknerthomasboimah needs to get paid for that work12:05
dcammueOkay12:06
jelknerbut it doesn't come directly from a particular customer account12:06
jelknerinstead, it is the kind of *operating expense* that we will have a lot of12:06
jelknerthe cost of maintaining the business12:06
jelknerin fact, dcammue, that's where you will be paid from at first12:07
jelknerand mostly12:07
dcammue+112:07
jelknerto make Jetro operate productively, web development customers need to be charged enough to cover both the direct cost of their particular project12:07
jelkner*and* the cost of maintaining Jetro as a business (to cover billing, payroll, etc.)12:08
jelkneri don't know how to do this12:08
jelknerbut we need to learn!12:08
jelknerwe can start with small steps12:08
jelknerby taking particular things we are doing12:08
jelknerand trying to account for them properly12:08
jelknerlittle by little, we will learn12:08
jelknerdcammue, you still have $5K coming as part of your grant12:09
jelkneryou need to plan12:09
jelknerto think about how you will use those funds to help launch your business12:09
dcammue+112:09
jelknerif you do it well, you increase the chances that another grant may come your way (hint, hint ;-)12:10
jelkneri don't think you are ready yet to stand completely on your own12:10
jelknerbut you need to be showing real concrete progress that you are getting closer12:10
jelknerfkoikoi, great to see you here12:11

jelknerwe need to get freena and janet at our next RABT meeting12:15
jelkneror as soon as possible12:15
jelknerthat means having them at the office, using Starlink on a machine in which the camera and mic "just work"12:15
