jelknerGood morning dcammue, freena, gaprinho, jkollie and svaye!11:50
jelknerSince you have 10 more minutes of morning ;-)\11:50
jelknerjkollie: great job yesterday chairing that meeting!11:50
jelkneri read the transcript with delight this morning11:50
jkollieGood morning jelkner 11:50
jkollieThanks 11:51
gaprinhoGood morning jelkner11:51
thomasboimahGreeting everyone11:51
jelknerIt was very interesting to learn a lot about where Jetro members are at in relation to this idea.11:51
jelknerGood morning thomasboimah 11:51
jelknerbtw., I am under time pressure as usual11:52
jelknerso instead of our regular stand up meeting, can we just talk about this briefly?11:52
jelknerthomasboimah, gaprinho: will you two be in class today?11:52
thomasboimahsure11:52
thomasboimah+111:52
gaprinhoyes11:52
svayeGood morning jelkner 11:52
jelknergreat11:52
jelknerok, i'd like to share a few thoughts to help you further refine you thinking, and maybe pose a few questions to ponder11:53
jelknerfirst, a few thoughts:11:53
jelkner1. Mr. Zawolo has *a lot* of experience with schools.  Not only was he Superintendent of the largest school system in Liberia, but he started small schools on his own.11:54
freenaSure jelkner 11:56
jelkner2. The project I proposed in the NoVASEN Decidim was for NoVASEN to lend support for *your* project. As you mentioned in your discussion, management of the non-profit and school would be in the hands of the non-profit's board members, which as Thomas said, you would participate in.11:56
jelkner3. We have tried not once, but twice to get this started.  The first time was a partnership with MCSS, the 2nd time was an attempt to align with the 25th Street community.11:57
jelknerRemember?11:57
gaprinho+111:57
svaye+111:57
thomasboimah+111:57
freena+111:57
jelknerBoth attempts were unsuccessful, but we can learn lessons from both of them.11:57
jkollie+111:58
svayeDefinitely 11:58
jelknerok, that's all i have for now11:58
jelkneri emailed our old friend Kevin Cole this morning11:58
jelknerto ask him if he can get pictures of the Kamal Foundation schools11:58
jelknerwho knows at this point if we can even get the support of the Kamal Foundation?11:59
jelkneri don't know, but i think we have a reasonable chance.11:59
jelknerso it will help you a lot to see the pictures of the schools that the foundation has built all over the world over more than 20 years12:00
dcammuedoing my time of being inactive in participating in the the stand up meeting, i worked on the front-end for the Jetro Web Attendance Tracker and now, the project(Work Tracker) is completed and remain to be deploy for public use. I also did the split transaction for Johanna first salary in the Gnu-Cash file jelkner share with me and I update the file to my directory on the server. today, i will be update in-formations on the current Jetro Web Site. no 12:00
dcammueblocker12:00
jkollieYesterday I met with jetrobweb members on the hexchat and we started the discussion on jelkner proposal, I also message Mr. Zawolo again on WhatsApp since he's going to be the one to tutor me. Today I'll look at some of the Decidim  initiatives ideas  I got from my research  and the component that should be use for it. No blocker 12:00
dcammueACTION done12:00
jelknerthen you can begin to imagine what we are talking about12:00
jkollieACTION done 12:00
svayejelkner: if I remember correctly the Karmal foundation is a nonprofit organization that builds for other nonprofit organization right?12:00
jelknerIt builds schools around the world, svaye 12:01
jelknerit mostly works with local governments and communities12:01
jelknerbut it has also worked with non-profits12:01
svayeIs there a payment method?12:02
jelkneri'll try to get you more information about it12:02
jelknerat the very least, i plan to go to The Saloon on April 1st (the day i hope to get my VISA)12:02
svayeAlright jelkner I will read on it also12:02
jelknerand i'll take pictures of the place and the pictures of the schools on the wall12:03
jelknerThere is not a lot online12:03
svayeOkay12:03
jelknerthe founder likes bricks and cement, as he says12:03
freenaJelkner, don't you think it's also best if we or maybe you have a meeting or a discussion with Mr. Zawolo too so he can give you a deep insight of how have a legally registered school works here in Liberia since as you said he runs a small school??12:03
jelknerhe's not a techie12:03
jelknerfreena: *you*, not me12:04
jelkneri am overextended and don't want to be at the center of this12:04
freenaOkay, jelkner 12:04
jelknermy dream is to be a supportor12:04
freenaI understand 12:04
jelknerlike i mentioned, i was *super* happy when Mr. Zawolo proposed jkollie for board president12:05
jelknersince that means he is taking responsibility to mentor her12:05
jelknerand he is an amazing and dedicated mentor12:05
jelknerso i'll be waiting for jkollie to move ahead with that12:05
svayejelkner: we are sorry for putting in the center but you have more interactions with Mr Zawolo while we wait for him to respond to our messages 12:05
svayeYou*12:06
jelkneri can be relied on to be the "squeeky wheel"12:06
jelknerwe have an old saying here that "the squeeky wheel gets the oil" ;-)12:06
jelknerbut i can only squeek12:07
jelkneryou need to lead the work12:07
freenaOkay, got it jelkner 12:07
svayeWe will send him a message requesting a meeting with him, but we need you to him to attend the meeting if it's possible 12:07
svayeGet*12:07
jelknerhere's the thing svaye 12:07
jelkneryou should conduct your interactions with him separately from me12:08
jelknerhe uses WhatsApp and has his own communication practices12:08
jelkneryou know how to find me12:08
jelknerbut it isn't easy for Mr. Zawolo to meet us here, since he is not used to that12:08
jelknerso you will need to:12:08
jelkner1. Analyze the situation12:09
jelkner2. Find a solution12:09
jelknerto me, that means working with Mr. Zawolo with his own means of communication12:09
jelknerwhich I can't use12:09
jelknerwe also don't have the same schedules12:09
jelknerso let's move with this in separate channels12:10
jelkneri'll talk with you all the time12:10
jelkneryou talk with mr. zawolo12:10
svayeAlright jelkner we will keep reaching out to him.12:10
jelknerand i'll talk to mr. zawolo in person to exchange ideas between us12:10
jelknerjkollie: he asked you for your WhatsApp12:10
jelknercan't you reach him through that?12:11
jelknerok, i have to go12:11
dcammuejelkner, please check my directory12:11
dcammueon the server12:11
jkollieIt's what I have been reaching him through jelkner 12:11
svayejelkner: we all have his contact,  we are also in a group chat with him on WhatsApp 12:11

jelknerGood morning / afternoon!16:31
*** dcammue has quit (Quit: Quit)16:31
jelknerthomasboimah and gabriel_jetro, i was just tell the folks here that i need to basically work with you to make a plan, and put y'all in charge of carrying it out.16:32
jelkneri won't have the time to walk the path with you...16:32
jelknerso, our "big goal" is to learn to write Django code using best practices16:32
jelknerand TDD is the best practice we are focusing on immediately16:33
jelknernext we need to figure out what to hack on to develop our skills.16:33
jelkneri have a suggestion i asked cjones to look at16:33
jelknerit was chosen because we need it for NOVA Web Development16:33
dcammuegood morning Penrosian, jelkner, jgurara, Karaaaaa 16:35
jguraraHello16:35
Karaaaaagood morning dcammue!16:35
jelknerhttps://github.com/matorral-project/matorral16:36
jelknerActually, this is a fast moving project, so we may want to start here:16:36
jelknerhttps://github.com/matorral-project/matorral/tree/legacy-code16:36
jelknerWhat do you see?16:38
jelknerTell me what this is?16:38
Karaaaaaa way to manage projects with a team?16:38
jelkner+116:38
gabriel_jetroSame here 16:39
jguraraa project management system16:39
Penrosianspecifically for agile development right?16:39
gabriel_jetroIt's a project management system 16:39
jelknerhmmm, Penrosian that's a good question16:39
jelknerif it is, it is *not* what i'm looking for16:39
Penrosianit mentions stories and sprints in the readme16:39
jelknerso let's investigate16:39
jelknerso this is being developed by a group of Django devs in Argentina16:40
jelknerit wouldn't surprise me if they were developing for themselves16:40
Penrosianin the readme it says Create, edit, delete and list (with pagination) and search Stories, Epics and Sprints16:41
Penrosianwhich are from agile right? I read the thing a while ago though16:41
jelkner+1 Penrosian 16:41
jelknerabsolutely16:41
gabriel_jetroIt's both Django and bulma.io system 16:41
jelknerSo as the customer (and a customer who wears *way* too many hats!), let me describe what i'm after16:42
jelknerand we can try to determine if this meets our needs16:42
jelknerWhat motivated me to investigate this was the NOVA Web business plan16:43
jelknerWhich I'm describing as "Walking on two legs"16:43
jelknermeaning we are going to try to offer support for two things:16:43
jelkner1. Decidim support16:43
jelkner2. Custom Django web development16:44
jelknerthomasboimah, dcammue, gabriel_jetro, you are all familiar with this, yes?16:44
dcammue+116:45
thomasboimah+116:45
gabriel_jetro+116:45
jelknerPlease pardon me repeating myself, since Karaaaaa, jgurara and Penrosian are not familiar with this16:45
thomasboimahno worries16:45
gabriel_jetroGo on 16:46
jelknerIn fact, let me just chat with them for a few minutes to save my old fingers from dying...16:46
jelknerbrb16:46
jelkneri'm back17:00
*** Penrosian has quit (Remote host closed the connection)17:01
jelknerand they've been given the whirl wind history of NOVA / Jetro webs business plan17:01
jelknerso they know why i'm looking for a project management system17:01
jelknerand why i'd like to explore Django first17:01
jelknerso, you have a few tasks now.17:02
jelkner1. think about our leaning objective of learning best practices Django development17:02
jelkner2. develop a learning plan that aligns with that17:02
jelkner3. implement the plan (hmmm, we sure could use a good program management system for this step! ;-)17:03
jelknerwell, my dear friends, what do you think?17:04
jelknerdon't all type at once! ;-)17:05
gabriel_jetroThats great 17:05
jelknergabriel_jetro: what do you mean?17:06
jelknerwe need a plan17:06
Karaaaaado we think we've gotten a good idea of tdd and how to implement it? if not, we could continue with things like the bowling game. Personally, I think I have a good idea of it and the best way to continue in my opinion would to be working on an actual project with you all17:06
Penrosianyeah I think I'm good on pytest and tdd17:06
gabriel_jetroIt'll help us to develop more as we think to plan on our studies with best practices 17:06
gabriel_jetroThat will give us more time as we develop 17:07
jelknerso, if you want to proceed with the project management system17:07
jelknerhere's what you need to do:17:07
jelkner1. Figure out how to deploy a development environment on your systems17:07
jelknercjones did this today to prove that he could17:08
jelknerthomasboimah: do you think you could be responsible for figuring that out by Friday?17:08
thomasboimahJeff, I think I see where you're going with this. The irony isn't lost on us, we need a project management system to learn how to build one. But here's what I'm thinking:17:08
thomasboimahsure17:08
jelknerwe call that dogfooding thomasboimah 17:09
jelknerNote to all: i pick on thomasboimah all the time because he is the paid staff person here17:09
thomasboimahFor the learning plan, I will propose Everyone clones both the main branch and legacy-code branch of Matorral, gets it running locally, and we do a code review together. What's different between them? What patterns do we see?17:10
thomasboimah and document our learning process along the way.17:10
jelknerthere isn't any v2 code yet17:10
jelknerso you have a bit of time on that17:10
jelknercjones just notice the branching this morning17:11
jelknerand it still says "coming soon" on the new branch17:11
jelknerso by Friday, we just need legacy branch running17:11
jelknerwe should look at how they write unit tests too17:11
thomasboimahsure17:12
jelknerthey may be using PyUnittest, which is what Django's built-in system uses17:12
jelkneranyway, i love the idea that you would join a real open source project and make a contribution17:12
jelknerthat would be a fantastic learning experience for you17:12
jelknerand show us we are ready to make it the real world17:13
jelknera lot could go wrong17:13
gabriel+117:13
jelknerbut it seems at least worth exploring17:13
jelknerand since, as thomasboimah, we need a project management system17:13
jelknerthis is a great dogfooding opertunity for us17:13
jelknerwe'll be our own customers.17:14
jelknerok, all, i'll leave it in your very capable hands17:14
jelkneri plan to hang back17:14
*** gabriel has quit (Remote host closed the connection)17:14
jelknerand let y'all drive17:14
Karaaaaawould we want to look just the legacy-code branch individually before friday, see what kind of things might be good to add as well as what kinds of tests, then come back and talk about it? or would a different timeline be better?17:14
jelkneri'll only step in when i think i can be of use17:14
jelknerhopefully as seldom as possible17:14
jelknerACTION signs off and leaves this to the dev team17:15
*** jelkner has quit (Quit: Leaving)17:15
thomasboimahThat great Karaaaaa we can look at the legacy-code branch individually before friday17:16
Karaaaaadoes that sound good to everyone?17:17
thomasboimah+1 for me17:17
dcammue+117:18
Penrosian+117:18
dcammuethat is a great idea Karaaaaa17:18
gabriel+117:18
dcammueand that way, we will be informed of what to discuss on friday17:19
Karaaaaayes!17:19
dcammueEveryone will bring out their great understanding and share it with us all17:20
thomasboimahKaraaaaa, do you have time to chat about our bowling game test this gone time?17:22
Karaaaaayes, would you want to go back on tmate?17:22
dcammuePenrosian, 17:23
thomasboimahDo you know why I decide for us to wrote those helper functions first before moving to the actual test?17:23
dcammueyou have no time, no, more time?17:23
Karaaaaayes, I realized after the structure you were going for. I had been thinking we would just have the helpers be combined in the first tests17:24
Penrosian?17:24
dcammuemore time?17:24
thomasboimahthat was actually a technique I learned from watching how professional TDD is done.17:25
Penrosianalso I just got matorral running on my computer17:25
dcammuecan we chat about our test17:25
Penrosianoh yeah sure17:25
Karaaaaathomasboimah, hmmm, did they explain the benefits to writing the helper functions first?17:25
thomasboimahI wanted us to think about how we want to write our tests before we worry about making them pass. It's like designing the language of our tests first.17:26
thomasboimahWhen we write roll_spare(), roll_strike(), and roll_many(), we're creating building blocks that make our tests read like English sentences.17:27
Karaaaaathomasboimah, wouldn't that be worrying about making them pass first if we wrote helper functions before any failing tests though?17:27
thomasboimahRemember in the Clean Code video when they talked about treating tests like production code?17:27
Karaaaaathomasboimah, i suppose it does increase readability17:28
thomasboimahyes17:28
thomasboimahThat means keeping them just as clean and readable as our main code. Without helpers, we'd end up with repetitive loops everywhere. With helpers, our tests become self-documenting.17:28
Karaaaaathomasboimah, that makes more sense to me now17:29
thomasboimahWith helpers, we change ONE function and all our tests automatically get fixed. It's the DRY principle - Don't Repeat Yourself.17:29
gabriekJgurara17:30
jgurarahi17:30
thomasboimahAnd it actually fits perfectly with TDD. Usually it's RED → GREEN → REFACTOR . But by writing helpers first, we're doing the REFACTOR step before we even write the tests. 17:31
gabriekSorry for my poor participation, i am out of electricity, us17:31
jguraraok17:31
gabriekCan we proceed17:31
thomasboimahSo when we write each test, it's already clean and focused on WHAT we're testing, not bogged down in HOW to set it up.17:32
jguraraok17:32
gabriekNo you have ti17:32
thomasboimahRemember the goal is to learning how to write professional tests that jelkner and other developers will respect.17:32
thomasboimahI think I am talking too much i am done here.17:32
thomasboimahKaraaaaa, 17:32
thomasboimahcan you start tmate so that we can write our bowling game test?17:33
Karaaaaathats alright thomasboimah i appreciate explaining your ideas17:33
gabriekDo you have time over later? jgurara17:33

jelknerbut YOU ALL run your business!22:06
jelknerand our top goal in this next stage is to get that working22:07
jelknerwe are doing a lot22:07
jelknerstill building dev skills22:07
jelknerand also trying to build business skills22:07
jelkneryou need both22:07
dcammueI am budgeting for your trip or for the next 5k?22:07
dcammueYeah22:07
jelkneryou don't need to budget anything for my trip22:08
jelknerjelkner will cover all his costs22:08
jelkneryou just need a bed for him to sleep on ;-)22:08
jelknerthe budgeting is for the Jetro members22:08
jelknerwho is getting paid to do what?22:09
jelknerhow much time are they putting into it?22:09
dcammueBecause, as a manage for technology insituation, you need both skills22:09
jelknerhow much revenue is their labor generating?22:09
jelknerdo the numbers add up in a sustainable way?22:09
jelknerthose are the kinds of questions Jetro needs to think about22:09
dcammue+122:10
jelknermy understanding is that dcammue and thomasboimah are on $400 per month salary, right?22:10
dcammueNo jelkner22:10
jelknerNo?22:10
dcammueOnly tboimah22:11
jelknerIt's not my business to decide22:11
jelknerbut you need both a lead developer, thomasboimah 22:11
jelknerand someone responsible for managing the business, which i though was you22:11
dcammue+122:11
dcammueI do22:12
jelknerso you need to be compensated for your work, my friend!22:12
thomasboimahIt is him, but the I don't know why the team don't want to agree to pay him22:12
jelknerwow, thomasboimah, that's a problem22:12
dcammueAnd i am trying to get dev skill to be able to supervise dev work22:12
jelknerwhen i talk to zOnny about this, i tell him that the two most dependable members have been thomasboimah and dcammue 22:13
dcammueI need all skill as manager to full perform22:13
jelkneri love the initiative that jkollie has been taking!22:14
jelknerbut without thomasboimah and dcammue, there is no Jetro Web22:14
jelknerso y'all need to thing about that together22:14
jelknerand to make sure you have what you need22:14
jelknerthe goal is to get everyone paid, right!22:15
dcammue++22:15
dcammue+122:15
jelknerbut SJC can not afford that alone22:15
jkollie+122:15
jelknerso if you want to arrive at that point22:15
jelkneryou need to take your most committed members22:15
jelknerand put them to work using the grant money to finance their time spent learning to generate revenue22:16
jelknermake sense?22:16
thomasboimah+122:16
jelknerthat means those members need to be paid now22:16
jelknersince you need them to be able to work full time on the project22:16
dcammueOkay22:17
jelknerit's not for me to decide this dcammue 22:17
jelknerit is for Jetro22:17
jelknerthis is just my advice22:17
jelkneri'm only a customer now22:17
jelknerand for you to keep me as a customer22:18
jelkneryou need to deliver value22:18
dcammueBut you are our wings22:18

jelkneri feel so fortunate to be able to work with you all22:20
dcammueOkay, see you my friend22:20
jelknersee you friday morning22:21
jelknerACTION signs off for now...22:21
dcammueNo tomorrow?22:21
jelknerwe normally don't meet on thursdays, right?22:21
jelknerthomasboimah and zOnny set work days at Mon, Wed, Fri, Sat, Sun22:21
dcammueOne thing22:21
jelkneryou need time off22:21
jelknergo ahead22:22
dcammueLet  me make thing ckear to you22:22
dcammueJetro had a meeting when we moved to the office22:22
dcammueAnd we discussed that we all will work on an hourly basic22:23
dcammueIn order to get paid22:23
jelknerthat sounds great22:23
jelknerbut here is my concern22:23
dcammueAnd before, getting paid22:24
jelknersorry, let me let you finish22:24
dcammueYou need to deliver something to jetro22:24
jelknerdcammue, i'll stay for a few more minutes22:24
jelknerbecause this is such an important discussion22:24
jelknerlet me make something clear to you22:25
dcammueLike what you did for the month22:25
jelknerI have no idea how to do this!22:25
jelknerwe will be learning as we go22:25
dcammueBefore getting away with jetro funds22:25
jelknerhere is my concern22:25
dcammueOkay22:25
jelknerit is very difficult at this stage to measure value22:25
jelknerin fact, we can have some wonderful long conversations about this when i'm there22:26
dcammue+122:26
dcammueSure22:26
jelkneras a business major, you know that in traditional business terms, the only thing that has value is money22:26
jelknerbut even then, it gets complicated22:26
dcammue+122:27
jelknersince how do you measure the value of the front office manager, who made it possible for the developer to deliver a product22:27
jelknerand then sent the invoice to get that revenue?22:27
jelkneror the value of the team member who fixed the office up so people could work there?22:28
jelknerthere are a lot of expenses that are not directly billable22:28
jelknernow you could just have everyone track their time22:29
jelknerand list what they do with that time22:29
jelknerour experience in NOVA Web was it was difficult to get everyone to do that22:29
jelknerit could be useful22:29
jelknerthen you could analyze the data and learn from it22:29
jelknerbut it is also a pain22:29
jelknerand members may think it isn't a fun thing to do22:30
jelknernot everything is fun22:30
jelknerbut Jetro is a co-op22:30
jelknercreating meaningful, and hopefully joyful work should be its main focus22:30
*** anthony_p has quit (Remote host closed the connection)22:30
jelknerdcammue, we will be learning from each other22:31
dcammueOkay22:31
jelknersince we want to make NOVA Web work too22:31
jelknerand we haven't figure out yet how to do that22:31
jelkneri'm so glad you are having meetings together and trying things out22:31
jelknerthat is the only way you will grow to the point where you will have deeper, more firmly established ideas based on your own experience22:32
dcammueThat's why i built the attendance application to track jetro members work hours22:32
*** anthony_p has quit (None)22:32
jelknernice!22:32
jelknerif you can get that to work well, i will bow down to your accomplishment!22:33

jelknerthat doesn't mean we won't try again22:33
dcammueWhen we host it, you can view it22:33
jelknerawesome!22:33
