jelknerACTION is waiting on thomasboimah and dcammue to continue...11:20
thomasboimahACTION done reading11:20
jelknerthomasboimah, any thoughts?11:21
jelknerwhat is resl trying to accomplish with this?11:21
thomasboimahfrom what i see The document describes the financial state and operational constraints of NWD.11:22
jelkner+111:22
jelknerbut not only NWD, right?11:22
thomasboimahwhich i see the Members have a target capital account balance of $11,00011:22
jelknerit also mentions Jetro in the last 2 paragraphs11:22
jelknerwhat do you think about those 2 paragraphs?11:22
dcammueokay11:23
dcammuei am done11:23
dcammuecan we continue jelkner 11:23
jelknersame questions for you dcammue 11:23
jelknerlook at the logs11:23
jelkneri started asking thomasboimah already11:23
jelknerand have the same questions for you both11:23
jelknerwell?11:24
jelknerlol11:26
jelknerACTION hears a deafening silence ;-)11:26
dcammueso she is trying to say that all novaweb members should be able to make a $25 per month11:26
dcammuein order to make a live in the US11:26
jelknerthomasboimah, are you ready?11:26
thomasboimahOkay this is what i understand from the last two paragraph11:27
dcammueso what i am seeing here is that, she trying to give some level of motivation to members so that they can not leave11:27
jelknerin some sense11:27
jelknerif i get your meaning right11:28
jelknerwe are trying to keep a business together11:28
jelknerwhich means having members able and willing to stay together11:28
jelknerthat requires them to make a living11:28
jelknerso yes11:28
thomasboimahWhat i see is that The Jetro receives $1,000 USD per month in funding from Jeff. This amount is divided by 2 developers: $400 each, 1 administrator: $100 Operations and office expenses: $10011:28
jelkneris that accurate?11:29
thomasboimahBut here is my question11:29
dcammueso when members are satisfied, they stay and work effective and efficiently 11:29
thomasboimahWhat is the administrator?11:29
thomasboimah*who11:29
jelknernice11:29
jelknerthomasboimah, we are on the same page11:29
jelkneryou don't know, and i don't know11:29
jelknerso let me share my reaction with you now, as it pertains to y'all at Jetro and the things you will need to do if we are going to launch this business:11:30
jelkner1. resl is trying to get a handle on NWD finances and constraints, exactly as thomasboimah said11:31
jelkner2. she doesn't have a clear idea of how things work at Jetro (as indicated by her reference to a non-existent manager)11:31
jelkner3. part of the reason she doesn't have a clear picture is because we haven't communicated one to her!11:32
jelkner4. we need to make resolving 3 a top priority11:32
jelknerACTION done11:32
jelknerthings are moving fast now11:32
jelknermaybe faster than we are ready for11:32
jelkneri hope not11:32
jelknerbut buckle up, comrades, it's going to be a fast ride now!11:33
jelknerJetro will have to try to follow along with what resl is doing11:33
jelknerto understand it11:33
jelknerand to contribute11:33
jelknerwe at NWD can't plan to include Jetro in our plan if Jetro doesn't have a plan of its own11:34
jelknermake sense?11:34
gabriel_jetrounderstood11:34
thomasboimahYes!11:34
gabriel_jetro+111:34
svaye+1 jelkner 11:34
dcammue+111:34
jelknerthomasboimah, gabriel_jetro did you get invited to the survey?11:34
jelknerdcammue, you too11:34
dcammuewhich survey?11:35
thomasboimahI did get a survey link for resl befor11:35
jkollie+111:35
jelknergreat11:35
jelknerdid you fill it out?11:35
thomasboimahI Amazon give me $30 gift card11:35
thomasboimah*and11:35
dcammuei did that but did not get any respond11:35
jelknerwait11:35
thomasboimahYes11:35
jelknerthat's a different survey11:35
jelknerthis one she sent recently11:35
jelknerit asked about each of our skills and availability11:36
thomasboimahLink Please..11:36
jelknerhmmmm...11:36
thomasboimahACTION going the filter my mail to see if i can find it11:37
jelknerthomasboimah, dcammue check your email11:37
jelknertitle is "Form Instead for Offerings Survey"11:37
dcammueokay11:37
thomasboimahACTION found it11:37
thomasboimahWill take that survey today11:37
jelknergreat11:38
jelknerand think about what resl is trying to accomplish with it11:38
thomasboimahhttps://share.mayfirst.org/apps/forms/XJL4fAKSeMEai49311:38
jelknerso that you can do something simliar at jetro11:38
thomasboimahThat is the link ^11:38
jelkneryes, i know11:38
jelkneri think only thomasboimah and dcammue should complete that now11:38
thomasboimahYep, because it is for NWD11:39
thomasboimahJetro will also create one for JETRO11:39
jelknersince you two are the overlap between our two co-ops11:39
jelkneryes, thomasboimah 11:39
jelknerthat's what i'm suggesting11:39
thomasboimahresl is Doing a great work!11:40
jelknerin sociocracy terms, we will be working toward a central business planning circle11:40
thomasboimahresl really do play the operating role for NWD well.11:40
jelknerand you two, thomasboimah and dcammue, will be the Jero representatives there11:40
jelknerbut you also need to operate your own internal development as a local Liberian cooperative11:41
jelknergetting gabriel_jetro ready to do paid work is a big part of that11:41
jelknersince he will be the first new Jetro member, after thomasboimah and dcammue, ready for that11:42
jelkneryou need a plan for the others11:42
jelknerif they want to earn a living11:42
thomasboimahYep!11:42
jelkneryou need to think very concretely about what billable service they can provide11:42
jelkneroh, dcammue, on another not, is there a merge request today?11:42
jelkneri didn't look11:43
jelknerwell dcammue?11:43
jelkneryes or no?11:43
dcammuenot now, please. later in an hour11:44
jelkneri can't11:44
jelkneri'll be at the union meeting all day11:44
jelkneryou don't have to post it today11:44
jelknerthat's ok11:44
thomasboimahI can help to merge it then11:44
jelknernice thomasboimah 11:44
jelknerthat will work11:44
jelknerok, anything else for me before i go?11:45
dcammueno jelkner 11:45
jelknerok, i'll leave you with a few parting thoughts:11:45
jelkner1. You need to create a budget for the $1K per month that can be shared with resl so she understands your expenses11:46
dcammuejelkner, i will do and update on the inventory list. please check tomorrow11:46
jelkner2. Explain that there are currently only two salaried members: thomasboimah and dcammue at $400 per month11:46
dcammueokay i will do so11:46
jelkneralso explain what the other operating expenses are11:47
jelknerand whether the remaining $200 per month can cover them11:47
dcammueokay11:47
jelkner3. Finally, we need to make clear that to expand Jetro, it will need additional income beyond the $1K11:47
jelknerso when we want to add gabriel_jetro as salaried member, we need to increase the monthly revenue beyond the $1K by that amount11:48
jelkneror we can't do it11:48
jelknerand so forth for each other member11:48
jelknerthat will only be possible by finding "paying gigs for our Django band" ;-)11:49
dcammuesure11:49
jelknerwe are still in the learning stage11:49
thomasboimahyes, is there a plan in get some now11:49
jelknerbut we are also in the working stage11:49
jelknerand those two things will go together11:50
jelknerwe will continue to hone our skills through paid gigs11:50
thomasboimahYes, as the saying go learning on the Job11:50
jelkner+111:50
jelknernice thomasboimah!11:50
jelknerthat's how we'll survive11:50
thomasboimahWe Jetro badly need paid gigs now jelkner 11:51
jelknerand when fkoikoi, jkollie, mulbah and svaye see that thomasboimah, dcammue and gabriel_jetro are able to make it work11:51
jelknerthey will be motivated to work hard to develop the skills they need to join the team11:51
jelknerAs the saying goes, thomasboimah, "nothing succeeds like success!" ;-)11:52
thomasboimahlol11:52
jelknerok, i have to go11:53
jelknersee you wednesday morning, same time, same channel11:53

jelkneri've been doing a bit of research11:55

reslHey, dcammue is here?13:40
dcammueyes13:41
dcammuehow are you resl 13:41
reslI'm ok! How are you?13:42
dcammuefine resl 13:42
resldcammue: I notice that there is a Social Justice Computing folder in the NWD NextCloud drive. I know it can be a bit awkward at first, but since SJC has its own organization-level May First membership, it has its own NextCloud account as well. 13:42
reslI can get things moved so that the SJC admin account is the owner of the SJC files, but you can also do this I think. I think I have already made you one of the admins of the SJC Team from the SJC admin account.13:42
resldcammue: Jeff appears to be the owner of most files in most organization admin-level NextCloud drives, so I probably need to work with him a bit to get that sorted, but I think nonetheless, we can still try to keep things organized into their respective groups to some extent before then13:44
dcammuesure13:45
dcammuethat's a great idea13:45
reslOkay, cool. Have I also already asked you if you can fill out your availability in the appointment scheduler feature on NextCloud? If you have a minute, I can do a Signal call with you to show you that 13:49
