abuchholzjelkner what does !remind do? does it remind you at 11? 10:10
jelknerabuchholz, it shows me the agenda10:13
abuchholz!remind10:13
jelknerif you pass it an argument, it adds and item to the agenda10:13
abuchholzalright that was my second question. Just trying to figure this out so that I can implement it in the discord bot.10:14
jelknerabuchholz, do you mean your discord bot will interface with our irc bot?10:15
jelkneri don't understand10:15
jelkneri see stefan's agenda item10:15
jelknerbut i am going to continue to push back against any internal adoption of non-free software for our core workflow10:16
abuchholzno. I mean that I am trying to implement similar features into our bot, so that if we ever do make the change to discord or at least try it once that we have the same features as the bot 10:16
jelknerin fact, if we go down that route10:16
jelknerwe have no plan at all10:17
abuchholzThat's fair. We can talk more about it at 11 with Stefan10:17

jelknerhow are you feeling?11:00
ubuntouristMilady Jen says that if I have a runny nose -- I do -- then it is not the dreaded "Black Plague" of the day.11:01
jelknermy clock says 11 am11:01
jelknerthat's good news, ubuntourist 11:02
jelknernrcerna, are you chairing today?11:02
ubuntouristSo "I'm not dead yet" ("You will be soon") "I feel happy!" [Thunk]11:02
@ubuntourist : SITarabuta : lbolz : nrcerna : abuchholz : +jelkner : wolcen : @mjsir911 : @ChanServ11:02
next steps for our website (jelkner)11:02
should we adjust our schedule to our new circumstances? (jelkner)11:02
jelknerthere goes11:02
ubuntouristBut throat is definitely sore, and coughing increasing. Still on the downhill side of things.11:02
nrcernaOk jelkner 11:03
jelknerubuntourist, let's chat briefly after meeting11:03
nrcernaHello Everyone11:03
jelknergm, nrcerna 11:03
SITarabutaubuntourist, sorry to hear that11:03
SITarabutahi everyone11:03
nrcernaFirst item: Figure out what is wrong with Big Brother. (ubuntourist)11:04
*** GFbot has joined #novawebdev11:04
ubuntouristnrcerna, In my current state of mind, I don't remember what I though was wrong with Big Brother... So, next. ;-)11:05
ubuntourist(Unless someone else recalls.)11:05
nrcernaok ubuntourist ;)11:05
nrcernanext item:  Discord - and how it changed the productivity between German, Adrian, and I (SITarabuta)11:05
SITarabutaAlright11:06
nrcernaACTION expecting about the discord thing11:06
SITarabutaSo I don't think I can put into words the level of increased productivity I experienced using Discord. German and I never connected so well. Now, we have an issue - German tags me, send a screenshot, or anything - I fix it.11:06
GFbot1+11:06
SITarabutaEven more! We have voice chat, and especially now in this period of no in person meetings, this will greatly help us. Nothing matches voice.11:06
abuchholz1+11:06
GFbot+99911:06
ubuntouristACTION is expecting 40 lines of cut-and-paste in an IRC chat. ;-)11:06
SITarabutaAlso, we can join voice chats where I share my screen11:07
SITarabutaso for example, Lena and Adrian can see what I am doing on my screen11:07
SITarabutaAnd just as a final note11:07
SITarabutaThis is directed to you, jelkner ;)11:07
SITarabutaBecause we all use it11:07
SITarabutaACTION done11:07
SITarabutaubuntourist, I actually didn't have time to prepare one ;)11:07
jelknerso, as you all expect, i'll weight in11:07
SITarabutaweight?11:08
jelknerfirst, whenever you use non-free software, you end up on the loosing end of a relationship with a monopoly11:08
ubuntouristSITarabuta, Weight a minute! ;-)11:08
jelknerwe have three principles in our operating agreement11:08
jelkner1. We want to make a living, not a killing11:08
jelkner2. We want to help build the world we want to live in11:09
jelkner3. The peoples movement should be using the peoples software11:09
jelknerusing non-free software violates two of those principles11:09
SITarabutaJeff, is linode free software? Is Gmail free software? Our company is close to dying - do we want to die with IRC? Or do we want to make progress with Discord?11:09
jelkneryou all can do what you want for now11:09
ubuntouristhttps://alternativeto.net/software/discord-app/?license=free11:10
jelknerhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jami_(software)11:10
SITarabutahttps://discordapp.com/open-source11:10
jelknerlook, for now, we are making progress11:10
jelknerwe've made another pact with the devil11:10
jelknerand we are moving forward11:10
nrcernaubuntourist, Slack is the best one I use it a lot with my design customers 11:10
jelknerthis july we will have several PRIME interns11:11
jelknerlooking for cool, month long projects11:11
jelkneri plan to have them investigate ways for us to move *toward* freedom, not away from it11:11
jelknerACTION done11:11
SITarabutaOk, I am going to be straight. I didn't want to say this, but: if we don't use discord, I cannot do this. It will not work. German and I HAVE ot use it11:11
SITarabutaACTION done11:11
jelkneruse what you want, SITarabuta 11:11
jelkneri won't, but you can11:12
nrcernajelkner, even like that discord could work to increase productivity as SITarabuta mentioned11:12
jelkneras long as the software we are building is GPL v311:12
jelkneri feel we are in good shape11:12
ubuntouristI was mentioning to abuchholz earlier today MatterMost, Riot.IM, murmur / mumble. etc.11:12
jelknerso use what you want to communicate with german11:12
ubuntouristhttps://alternativeto.net/software/discord-app/?license=opensource may be a better URL.11:12
jelknerubuntourist, can we look into this in july?11:13
abuchholzProductivity is more important that open source especially with the business on the verge of collapse. 11:13
abuchholzthan*11:13
SITarabutaEveryone wants to use it jelkner. Sometimes we need compromises. Anyway, we are drifting off topic at this point.11:13
jelkneri don't want to disrupt productivity over an ideological battle now11:13
SITarabutaok, next topic. i don't wanna talk about this11:13
abuchholz1+11:13
jelkner+111:13

SITarabutauhm, i think you skipped something nrcerna11:14
nrcerna? SITarabuta 11:14
jelknerbut imho, once we compromise our principles, we have no reason to exist11:15

jelkneralso, SITarabuta, we need to remove the login item from the menu11:17
SITarabutaok11:17
ubuntouristSITarabuta, I take it, due to the restructuring, there's not an easy way to port the dumped SQL from the old site.11:17
SITarabutaoh, yeah. i didn't even try. trust me, it is imposible11:17
ubuntouristSITarabuta, but that it has been dumped,.. Right.11:17
SITarabutasure11:18
SITarabutaso i am going to fix it now11:18

SITarabutaDISCORD IS PRIVACY CONCERNED11:34
SITarabutaACTION done11:34
jelknerbut not Democracy concerned!11:34
ubuntouristWhile I'm slightly less ideologically pure than jelkner, consider moving forward the ability to integrate whatever into LOV2.11:34
SITarabutawhat is that supposed to mean jelkner 11:34
jelknerSITarabuta, let's talk about this when we get together11:35
jelknerfor now, we have a plan11:35
ubuntouristFrom a pragmatic, long-term standpoint, rather than an ideological one, it's going to be easier to do with FLOSS...11:35
SITarabutai can't believe i am losing productivity on this ideological issue. we have linode - no free software. we freaking use GMAIL. whatever11:35
jelknerSITarabuta, i'll call you11:35
nrcernaDont let this topic take the best of yourselves, meaning: Calm down11:35
