| jelkner | Good afternoon, from IAH airport in Houston! | 15:48 |
|---|---|---|
| jelkner | Next stop, El Salvador | 15:48 |
| jelkner | zOnny, r u here? | 15:49 |
| jelkner | my flight doesn't board for 3 hours | 15:49 |
| jelkner | So if you're available, this might be a good time to get some planning done. | 15:49 |
| zOnny | jelkner: yes | 15:51 |
| jelkner | first, what happened with the weather? | 15:52 |
| jelkner | zOnny, i saw you're email about heavy rain. | 15:52 |
| zOnny | jelkner: it was rain hard this morning | 15:52 |
| jelkner | you said the library might be closed | 15:52 |
| zOnny | jelkner: yes, but it didn't close | 15:52 |
| jelkner | so i thought is was a hurricane or something | 15:53 |
| zOnny | jelkner: kind of | 15:53 |
| jelkner | skys are mostly blue here in houston | 15:53 |
| zOnny | jelkner: It wasn't safe to be outside | 15:53 |
| jelkner | anyway, how are things going? | 15:53 |
| zOnny | jelkner: we're working remotely from home | 15:54 |
| jelkner | i'm done with the NEA work now, and ready to switch my full attention to NOVAWebDevelopment | 15:54 |
| zOnny | jelkner: great | 15:54 |
| zOnny | jelkner: what time you're arriving El Salvador? | 15:54 |
| jelkner | zOnny, every time i attend one of these big union meetings, i leave more convinced we need LibreOrganize | 15:54 |
| jelkner | around 9:30 pm local time | 15:55 |
| zOnny | jelkner: I hear you | 15:55 |
| jelkner | replaceafill is picking me up | 15:55 |
| jelkner | tomorrow he will take me to santa ana | 15:55 |
| zOnny | jelkner: say hi replaceafill | 15:55 |
| jelkner | i will | 15:55 |
| zOnny | jelkner: I hope meet him someday | 15:56 |
| jelkner | i submitted what we call a "new business item" (NBI) here at the conference | 15:56 |
| zOnny | jelkner: I mean personally | 15:56 |
| jelkner | You will, zOnny | 15:56 |
| jelkner | since NOVA Web Development is going to be so successful | 15:56 |
| jelkner | you will be traveling the world talking to people about what we are doing ;-) | 15:57 |
| zOnny | jelkner: not sure about that | 15:57 |
| jelkner | btw. where are GFbot and nrcerna? | 15:57 |
| jelkner | zOnny, none of us can be "sure", but we need to follow our dreams! | 15:57 |
| zOnny | jelkner: ncerna is in novawebdev_learn | 15:57 |
| jelkner | ah | 15:58 |
| zOnny | jelkner: hold on | 15:58 |
| jelkner | it says she quit | 15:58 |
| jelkner | np, we can wait until i get to santa ana | 15:58 |
| jelkner | so, zOnny, i wanted to discuss our goals for my trip here to el salvador | 15:58 |
| zOnny | jelkner: sure | 15:59 |
| jelkner | i've been thinking a lot about this | 15:59 |
| zOnny | jelkner: how do you want to start | 15:59 |
| jelkner | i have one main goal | 15:59 |
| zOnny | jelkner: which is this? | 15:59 |
| jelkner | which is to work with nrcerna so that she and you become the leaders of our coop | 15:59 |
| jelkner | i tell you often that you are NOVA Web Development | 16:00 |
| jelkner | which is true | 16:00 |
| jelkner | but we need to begin to expand it | 16:00 |
| zOnny | jelkner: I thought it was a joke | 16:00 |
| jelkner | i've chatted with her already about this, so she knows, but since she just finished university | 16:00 |
| jelkner | and is at the exact right time to launch her career | 16:01 |
| zOnny | jelkner: right | 16:01 |
| *** Nath_ has joined #novawebdev | 16:01 | |
| Nath_ | Hello? | 16:01 |
| jelkner | i'm going to press her that she needs to take ownership of this cooperative along with you | 16:01 |
| jelkner | since she will want to be full time now | 16:02 |
| jelkner | and you too | 16:02 |
| jelkner | we need to figure out how to make our coop support that | 16:02 |
| jelkner | that's the top priority | 16:02 |
| zOnny | jelkner: yes, indeed | 16:02 |
| jelkner | i'm not talking technical goals here, but business goals | 16:02 |
| jelkner | btw, zOnny, what ever happened with the Gallaudet contract? | 16:03 |
| jelkner | ACTION waits for zOnny to respond... | 16:04 |
| zOnny | jelkner: Gallaudet contract is already submitted | 16:04 |
| jelkner | sweet | 16:04 |
| zOnny | jelkner: the game has already started | 16:04 |
| jelkner | how are we doing in fullfilling it? | 16:04 |
| jelkner | did you and chris meet last thurday? | 16:04 |
| zOnny | jelkner: I have everything running so far | 16:05 |
| zOnny | jelkner: I want to meet with chris to check | 16:05 |
| jelkner | did you meet last thursday? | 16:05 |
| zOnny | jelkner: he hasn't responded to my emails | 16:05 |
| jelkner | oh my | 16:05 |
| jelkner | i'll email him | 16:05 |
| jelkner | to see if he can meet us this thursday | 16:06 |
| zOnny | jelkner: I'm hoping meet with him this thrusday | 16:06 |
| jelkner | hold on, let me try to call / text him now | 16:06 |
| zOnny | Nath_: are you here? | 16:07 |
| Nath_ | yes | 16:07 |
| Nath_ | I was reading the conversation zOnny | 16:07 |
| zOnny | Nath_: great | 16:07 |
| zOnny | Nath_: I hope you learn a lot from jelkner | 16:08 |
| Nath_ | Im going to do it zOnny | 16:09 |
| Nath_ | I really want to be with you taking care of this zOnny as jelkner proposed | 16:09 |
| zOnny | jelkner: last thrusday was holiday | 16:10 |
| zOnny | Nath_: jelkner and I are always dreaming | 16:11 |
| Nath_ | Thats great | 16:11 |
| zOnny | Nath_: well, he dreams more than I do. | 16:12 |
| jelkner | zOnny, just got off the phone with chedrick | 16:14 |
| Nath_ | I could imagine that, this way he success a lot. Big dreamns, big results | 16:14 |
| jelkner | i'll call you to summarize | 16:14 |
| jelkner | but he was away for vacation | 16:14 |
| zOnny | jelkner: ok | 16:14 |
| zOnny | jelkner: ah | 16:14 |
| jelkner | which is why you didn't here from him} | 16:14 |
| zOnny | jelkner: I see | 16:14 |
| jelkner | he will be there this thursday | 16:14 |
| zOnny | jelkner: great | 16:14 |
| jelkner | and he will reach out to you before then. | 16:14 |
| jelkner | Nath_, are you Natalia? | 16:19 |
| Nath_ | yes | 16:20 |
| Nath_ | Yes jelkner | 16:20 |
| jelkner | thanks | 16:20 |
| jelkner | i'm glad you're here | 16:21 |
| Nath_ | Me too jelkner | 16:21 |
| Nath_ | i was using the other channel jelkner | 16:21 |
| jelkner | as i was saying to zOnny, my main goal for the next month+ is to work with you to become a real partner with zOnny in running this coop | 16:21 |
| jelkner | you're at the right time in your life | 16:21 |
| jelkner | you just graduated from college | 16:22 |
| jelkner | and are starting your career | 16:22 |
| Nath_ | I agree with that jelkner | 16:22 |
| jelkner | so we want to find out as soon as we can whether we can make that work | 16:22 |
| jelkner | we are making slow but steady progress, Nath_ | 16:23 |
| jelkner | it is going to take years | 16:23 |
| jelkner | but i'm convinced we are on the right path | 16:23 |
| jelkner | we have a niche that we are developing | 16:23 |
| jelkner | do you know what a niche is? | 16:24 |
| Nath_ | I know, i was talking about it with zOnny | 16:24 |
| Nath_ | Oh no | 16:24 |
| Nath_ | but I can google it jeje | 16:24 |
| Nath_ | https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Niche | 16:25 |
| jelkner | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niche_market | 16:25 |
| jelkner | look at that one | 16:25 |
| jelkner | an important idea to undersant | 16:25 |
| jelkner | understand | 16:25 |
| jelkner | for us to be successful, it will help a great deal if we have a "speciality" that we do better than anyone else | 16:26 |
| jelkner | that, in the market sense, is called a niche | 16:26 |
| Nath_ | It is the same meaning for us of Nicho | 16:26 |
| jelkner | cool | 16:26 |
| jelkner | so, our niche is the latinx political movement | 16:27 |
| jelkner | we did Elizabeth Guzman's website | 16:27 |
| jelkner | we did Celina's website | 16:27 |
| jelkner | even more important, we did the Maryland Latino Caucus | 16:27 |
| jelkner | that was big for us | 16:27 |
| jelkner | this is a process that takes years | 16:28 |
| jelkner | many years | 16:28 |
| jelkner | as the latinx community grows in power | 16:28 |
| jelkner | it will have control over more resources | 16:28 |
| jelkner | and be both need and afford a larger web presence | 16:29 |
| jelkner | since we will have been here from the beginning | 16:29 |
| jelkner | we are in a good position to be the "go to" business to meet those needs | 16:29 |
| jelkner | also, as i was telling zOnny, there is a huge need in the labor movement for LibreOrganize | 16:30 |
| jelkner | we can't make that happen until we "skill up" more | 16:30 |
| jelkner | since we do not yet have the skills we need to develop that properly | 16:30 |
| jelkner | zOnny is working hard on that | 16:30 |
| jelkner | i need your help, Nath_, working with your cousin to see if he wants to be part of that | 16:31 |
| jelkner | when i leave in august, i am going to ask you to be in charge of supervising GFbot | 16:31 |
| jelkner | are you ok with that? | 16:31 |
| Nath_ | Of course jelkner | 16:31 |
| jelkner | i will also want you to receive all financial transfers | 16:32 |
| jelkner | so we need to setup you bank account so i can transfer funds to you | 16:32 |
| Nath_ | Sure I can manage that | 16:32 |
| jelkner | and you can disburse them | 16:32 |
| jelkner | excellent | 16:32 |
| Nath_ | :D | 16:33 |
| jelkner | from a technical point of view, your main task is to use your design skills to learn how to make really beautiful and user friendly web designs | 16:33 |
| jelkner | that's why zOnny and i need you to learn to style Django templates | 16:33 |
| jelkner | since that's where your designs will live | 16:34 |
| Nath_ | A front end team work zOnny said | 16:34 |
| Nath_ | :D | 16:34 |
| jelkner | yes indeed | 16:34 |
| jelkner | that's all i have for now | 16:34 |
| jelkner | i can't wait to arrive in santa ana! | 16:34 |
| jelkner | i'll be there tomorrow | 16:35 |
| jelkner | oh, one last thing | 16:35 |
| Nath_ | Thanks for communicate this jelkner | 16:35 |
| Nath_ | We are happy to receive you | 16:35 |
| Nath_ | Shoot | 16:35 |
| jelkner | our goal should also be to get you to the point where you earn more than your uncle ;-) | 16:35 |
| jelkner | lol | 16:35 |
| Nath_ | jaja, I miss replacefill as well | 16:36 |
| jelkner | me too | 16:36 |
| Nath_ | thats a great idea jelkner | 16:36 |
| jelkner | and as an owner of a business based in the US, it should be possible, Nath_ | 16:37 |
| jelkner | if we work hard enough to achieve it | 16:37 |
| jelkner | zOnny, we signed up about 28 new people for the NEA4OR caucus | 16:38 |
| zOnny | jelkner: that's great | 16:38 |
| jelkner | i told them to wait until the end of august to hear from me | 16:38 |
| jelkner | since we need the platform to be updated | 16:38 |
| jelkner | so that it supports tracking membership renewals | 16:39 |
| jelkner | in other words, we have like 50 people in the membership list | 16:39 |
| jelkner | but most have not renewed | 16:39 |
| zOnny | jelkner: right | 16:39 |
| jelkner | i need a way to mark those who have renewed | 16:39 |
| jelkner | and change the status from member to "expired" for those who have not | 16:40 |
| jelkner | then i need to bug everyone who hasn't renewed to pay up | 16:40 |
| jelkner | but i can do that until we can track it | 16:40 |
| zOnny | jelkner: tendenci can do it | 16:40 |
| jelkner | i know it can | 16:40 |
| jelkner | but can LibreOrganize? | 16:40 |
| jelkner | that's what we need to work on this summer | 16:40 |
| zOnny | jelkner: I see | 16:41 |
| jelkner | i will start with a serious talk with GFbot | 16:41 |
| jelkner | i'll be staying at his house | 16:41 |
| jelkner | he needs to learn how to deploy LibreOrganize | 16:41 |
| zOnny | jelkner: he knows that I will be here to work with him. | 16:41 |
| jelkner | and to begin learning how to develop it | 16:41 |
| jelkner | and i'll be there in santa ana to light a fire under his butt ;-) | 16:42 |
| jelkner | we should start with our own website | 16:42 |
| jelkner | like we discussed | 16:42 |
| zOnny | jelkner: :D | 16:42 |
| Nath_ | I think we can improve libre otganize site, in 1 or 2 weeks, if Gfboot and I take care of it jelkner | 16:42 |
| jelkner | excellent, Nath_! | 16:42 |
| Nath_ | we made a great succes the last time we met jelkner | 16:42 |
| jelkner | yes we did | 16:43 |
| jelkner | and we have more time this year | 16:43 |
| jelkner | zOnny, how are our PRIMES doing? | 16:43 |
