dcammueGood morning jelkner , thomasboimah 10:56
jelknerSo good to see you!10:56
dcammueYeah10:56
jelknerCan we take a few minutes to chat?10:56
jelknerthomasboimah: are you here with us?10:57
dcammue+110:57
thomasboimahYes10:57
thomasboimahGood morning guyd10:57
jelknerok, we are really making progress10:57
jelknerbut as you know, we have a looooooooong way to go ;-)10:57
jelknerso, first the good news10:57
jelkneri saw a pull request, it looked good, so i merged it10:58
jelknerthat's excellent10:58
jelknerthomasboimah: you need to teach dcammue to do this in his sleep10:58
jelknersince we will be doing it a lot10:58
jelknernow the less than great news10:58
dcammue:-)10:58
jelknerthere were no changes to the lesson10:58
jelknerthat means, dcammue, you aren't fully ready to understand what needs to be done to teach the class10:59
jelkneri don't expect that10:59
jelknerso i'm not surprised or disappointed, just stating the facts10:59
jelknerfor us to succeed in this, i need for your small study group to take ownership of their learning10:59
jelknerthat will be crucial11:00
jelknerit will mean you are empowered learners11:00
jelknernot just blindly doing what you are told11:00
jelknerbut thinking critically about what you are trying to achieve and taking ownership of your path to get where you want to go11:00
jelknerlet's look at the lesson cjones left us:11:00
jelknerhttps://ict.gracehopper.center/s26/courses/php/goals/session.html?num=0611:01
dcammuejelkner: you want me to make changes, I thought it was just to map the session to the calendar?11:01
jelknerdcammue: i asked if you could lead the class11:01
jelkneryou did great, dcammue 11:01
jelknerdon't get me wrong11:02
jelkneri'm thrilled11:02
jelknerbut now i'm looking at the next step11:02
jelknerdcammue: what is our goal here?11:02
jelkneri mean the "big goal"11:02
jelknerthink big and long term11:02
jelknerwhy are we doing this class?11:02
dcammueI all felt the the session_06 was edited. My bad11:02
jelknerwell, my dear friend, you should have looked at it11:03
jelknerplease answer my question11:03
jelknerwhat is our goal?11:03
jelknerthomasboimah: while i wait for dcammue to answer, can i ask you something as well?11:04
thomasboimahSure11:04
jelknerhow strong do you feel you are now at Django deploying?11:04
dcammueTo get our comrades to achieve the skills we want 11:05
jelknerok, dcammue, but what skills?11:05
jelknerbe more specific please11:05
thomasboimahI can say intermediate 11:05
jelkneri'm asking because i think tony is really struggling with ARTraffic11:05
jelknerand he is all alone11:05
jelknerhe's trying to figure out a complex deployment that Stefan and Adrian built11:06
jelknerand things keep breaking one after the other11:06
jelknernot surprising, Django is a complex framework11:06
jelknerTony's a pro, and i'm sure he will eventually figure it out11:06
jelknerbut our customer is feeling the pain while he learns11:07
jelkneri'm wondering if it makes sense to have you and zOnny try to help him?11:07
thomasboimahOf course it make sense11:07
jelknerlet me send an email to the three of you suggesting you meet to talk about it11:08
jelknerok thomasboimah, thanks!11:08
thomasboimahSure11:08
jelknerdcammue: i'm waiting...11:08
dcammueThe skills is what they can do and how to do it. 11:08
jelknerlol11:08
dcammueProfessional skills 11:08
jelknerstill too vague11:08
jelkneryou won't be ready to guide our project until you understand what it is about11:09
jelknerwhat is Jetro's business, dcammue?11:09
dcammueTo get the people needs 11:09
jelknerok, i have a tooth ache, that is my need, can Jetro help me with that?11:10
dcammueYes, 11:10
dcammueBut no11:10
jelknerOUCH! NO!!!11:10
dcammueIndirectly 11:10
jelknerdcammue: a business needs a business plan11:11
jelknerand the business plan needs the right amount of specificity11:11
jelknerso i need to encourage you to think a lot more about this11:11
jelknerso that in future conversations, you can have a clearer idea of what we are trying to do11:12
jelknerand btw, it is a constantly changing thing11:12
jelknerso that is a challenge, i admit that11:12
jelknerbut we are starting with a fairly well defined goal11:12
jelknerwhat is the full name of your co-op, dcammue?11:13
dcammueJetro Web Development, INC11:13
jelknerbingo11:13
jelknerso the two words in the name that come immediately after "Jetro" should give you hint as to what you are trying to do, right?11:14
dcammueSure 11:14
jelknerso let me ask you again... what is the goal of our class?11:14
jelknerbtw, one of the goals for everyone at jetro is to get them to improve their typing speed11:15
jelknerthat is very important for what we do11:15
jelknerit isn't an "end goal"11:16
dcammueTo learn web development 11:16
jelknernow we're talking!11:16
jelknerhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_development11:16
jelknerso to develop our business plan11:17
jelknerwe will need to develop a much better understanding of what "web development" means in practice11:17
jelknerwe will learn by concrete examples11:17
jelknerit will be the things our customers want11:17
jelknerincluding MDLLC (Maryland Latino Legislative Caucus)11:18
jelknerARTraffic, J.J.'s, SJC (Social Justice Computing)11:19
jelkneretc.11:19
jelknerok, i need to go11:19
jelkneri'll join with you in the beginning of class11:19
dcammueOkay 11:19
jelknerso we can all talk together about what to do11:19
dcammueSure11:19
jelknerbut from my point of view, the lesson doesn't make any sense11:19
jelknerwe don't have a quiz11:20
jelknernor do we really need one with such a small class11:20
jelknerwhat we want is web sites that start to show skills11:20
dcammueYe11:20
dcammueYes11:20
jelknerthat will be evident by the product (each person's web site)11:20
jelknerand the process - their commit histories11:20
jelknercjone's schedule is complete irrelevant11:21
jelknerso the lesson linked is largely useless11:21
jelkneras we move forward, i will keep saying i can't be the point of failure11:21
jelkneri've got too much to do11:22
jelknerwe either become a true democratic organization with multiple leaders (we are all leaders and we are all followers)11:22
jelkneror we won't make it11:22
dcammueYes 11:22
jelknerso this is a great chance to put that in practice dcammue 11:22
jelknerok, see you in class11:23
jelknerthanks!11:23
dcammueSure 11:23
dcammueThanks 11:23

dcammuesvaye was here15:43
jkollieDcamme can you please call freena 15:44
jkollieAm out of credit right now 15:44
jelknerwhile dcammue calls freena, i want to chat briefly about where we are in our process15:44
jelknerit is my goal to help you "learn to learn" by making this as much a self-directed activity as we can15:45
jelknerthis is indeed *very* important15:45
jelknerself-directed learning is a "meta skill" or "soft skill" that will serve you so well in life15:46
jelknerit is what you need to be flexible learners in the 21st century15:46
jelkneryou can take a brief look after i finish at the chat i had with dcammue this morning in our logs15:46
jelknerhttps://irclogs.novawebdevelopment.coop/%23jetrowebdev/2026-04-07.log.html15:46
jelkneri won't have the time to write new lessons for class each day15:47
jelkneri need dcammue's help15:47
jelknerand he will need yours15:47
jelkneri'm already teaching 4 other classes15:47
jelknerwhich means 4 other preps15:47
jelknerthere is no way i can handle a 5th15:47
jelknerso, we need to work together15:47
jelknerthere are some "big goals" i think we are striving for15:48
jelkner1. basic fundamental understanding of the web and how it works15:48
jelkner2. basic skills attainment for making beginning web applications15:48
jelkner1 is theoretical, 2 is practical15:49
jelknerthey work together15:49
jelkneri read over the OpenEDG curriculum15:49
jelknerit is good15:49
jelkneryou should use it15:49
jelknerbut you need to be smart about how you use it15:49
jelknersince this is self-directed learning15:50
jelkneryou can't just read something15:50
jelkneri notice students do that all the time15:50
jelknerthey think "how can i get through this silly task with the minimum effort?"15:50
*** Penrosian has quit (Ping timeout: 480 seconds)15:50
jelknerthat is the opposite of what we are doing here15:50
jelknersince you are learning for yourself15:50
jelknertaking shortcuts means you are cheating... YOURSELF! ;-)15:51
jelknerso i'll let dcammue drive now15:51
jelknerand check in with him later15:51
jkollieUnderstand jelkner 15:51
jelknerthe only one getting a grade here is kthomas 15:51
jelknerso i need to see commits and improvements to her website15:52
dcammueokay15:52
jelknerthat's how i will be evaluating here work15:52
jelknerher work15:52
jelknerit should also be a goal to pass the certification15:52
jelknerbut let's focus on skills, not memorization15:52
