+jelknerGood morning, everyone!11:00
nrcernaGood morning! 11:00
+jelknerLet's jump right in.11:00
+jelknerubuntourist, is away, so i'll move down the agenda11:01
+jelknerDG123, can you report on our LOC application11:01
+jelknerwhat happened?11:01
DG123I called their agent and we talked about NWD's finances for a bit11:02
DG123Upcoming contracts, how much money we made in the last year, etc.11:02
-!- GFbot [c9f7d2ec@gateway/web/freenode/ip.201.247.210.236] has joined #novawebdev11:02
+jelknerGood morning, GFbot 11:03
GFbotgood morning jelkner 11:03
DG123And unfortunately, we needed to have made at least 100k in the last year to qualify, but of course he advised me to keep them in mind in the future11:03
+jelknerlol11:03
+jelknerof course11:03
* DG123 done11:04
+jelknerok, so we don't qualify for a loan11:04
DG123not from them11:04
+jelknerthat may be for the best, and given that situation, i want to combine the 3 items i put on the agenda into one conversation11:04
+jelknerbasically, we have a nice contract with Gallaudet University11:05
+jelknerthat we bill at $100 per hour11:05
+jelknerif we want our coop to "make it", we need more contracts like that11:05
+jelknerand we would certainly want to bring in well over $100K to keep 3 people working full time, and several others part time11:05
+jelknerso, nrcerna, i'll come up with $500 for you for july11:06
+jelknerand $500 for august11:06
+jelkneras i told zOnny this morning11:06
+jelknerafter the end of august i won't be able to keep up the subsidies11:06
+jelkneryou can't get blood from a stone11:06
+jelknerand i'm all bled out ;-)11:07
+jelknerso we have a mission this summer if we want to keep doing this11:07
+jelknerwe need to:11:07
+jelkner1. develop enough Django skills to be marketable as Django developers11:07
+jelkner2. explore opportunities in design work (nrcerna, this means you) to see if there is work to be had there11:08
+jelkner3. begin to more actively look for work and do outreach marketing our skills11:08
+jelknerthat seems like what we need to do11:09
+jelknerwhat do y'all think?11:09
DG123that sounds like a well thought out list11:09
DG123It's definitely a good way forward11:10
zOnnyjelkner: +111:10
nrcernaI think we can succeed (with every item) , we just need a step by step work plan 11:10
nrcerna+111:10
+jelknerand we will have the entire time i am with you in santa ana, nrcerna, to work on that together11:11
nrcernaOf course 11:11
+jelknerin terms of 1, we are already on track11:11
+jelknerzOnny has been working with chris hedrick, the original NOVA Web Development developer11:11
+jelkneron the Gallaudet project11:12
+jelknerThat is a Django app that ubuntourist wrote11:12
+jelknerwhich Gallaudet wants serious work done on11:12
+jelknerzOnny will be able to learn Django through that experience11:12
+jelknerso as he knows, that's our top priority at the moment11:13
+jelknerfor 2, nrcerna, you will have an intern to help you investigate11:13
+jelkneryou start july 111:13
+jelknerso does she11:13
+jelkneri won't arrive until july 911:13
+jelknerso for that first week and a few days, you will have to handle the intern on your own11:14
nrcernaOK 11:14
+jelknershe will be sitting with zOnny at the library11:14
+jelknerso he can help with technical issues11:15
nrcernaNice :) 11:15
+jelknerbut in terms of guiding what she does, that's nrcerna11:15
+jelknerthe last item was about our other paying customer11:16
nrcernaGot it, jelkner. 11:16
