nrcernaHello Everyone!16:00
mr_germanhi16:00
HishamHello awesome people!16:00
SITarabutaHello!16:00
AndreiHey there!16:00
jelknerG'day, mates!16:00
ubuntouristACTION cracks open a Diet Coke and waves16:01
nrcernaGood to see you all here :)16:01
nrcernaOk, let's start!16:01
nrcernafirst item: Decidim status update 16:01
jelknerI put this on the agenda, but it is for lelkneralfaro 16:02
jelknerto address16:02
jelknerwe talked a few days ago, and we can talk in more detail later today16:02
lelkneralfaroit's deployed and ready to explore16:02
jelknerso, lelkneralfaro, a brief summary for the record...16:02
lelkneralfaroand troubleshoot16:02
jelknerACTION done16:02
lelkneralfaroit's deployed... it's a bit messy and complicated16:03
ubuntouristlelkneralfaro, self-registration or does everyone need to go through you? And where is it again?16:03
nrcerna+116:03
lelkneralfaroubuntourist, self-registration16:03
nrcernaI was trying to test it with lelkneralfaro 16:03
SITarabutaubuntourist ustechworkercoops.org16:03
lelkneralfaroustechworkercoops.org16:03
nrcernaand reading the documentation to understand how it works16:03
lelkneralfaroit's potentially useful. if we can get over the hump of trying to figure it out16:04
ubuntouristlelkneralfaro, Ah, right. Old brain. Andrei, Hisham, I'm guessing you're welcome to come out and play on that too... Yes, jelkner?16:04
lelkneralfaroand then get over the hump of teaching people to use it16:04
jelknerabsolutely16:04
lelkneralfaroand then getting over the hump of hearing them complain :)16:04
jelknerthe key question is for us to decided two things:16:04
jelkner1. is this tool indeed useful for the movement?16:05
jelkner2. if so, can we effectively market support for it?16:05
SITarabutaWhat does "support" really mean?16:05
jelknerwe should answer those questions in order, naturally, since if 1 is a no, 2 is irrelevant16:05
jelknerSITarabuta, let's talk about that after16:06
jelknerwe need to focus on 1 first16:06
jelknerso yes, getting interns to try it out is a great idea!16:06
jelknerACTION done16:06
nrcernanext item: New inquiry from local Arlington business and what it means for our marketing strategy16:07
jelkneri was delighted to see that email!16:07
jelknerfrom an Arlington dentist wanting a website.16:07
jelknermarketing our business in Arlington is the easiest thing for me to do16:08
jelknerif we are able to work with a few partners here, it will help us find more16:08
jelknerso, let's see what happens16:08
jelknerACTION done16:08
SITarabutaI wonder how they found us16:09
nrcernagood point16:09
jelknerGood question, SITarabuta 16:09
SITarabutaThere is no way they searched "web development" and we hit the first page\16:09
jelknerlelkneralfaro, we should ask them at some point16:09
ubuntourist♪Son, be a dentist♫ ("Little Shop of Horrors") 😜16:09
SITarabutaMight've originally be interested in "arlington web development" or something16:10
lelkneralfarojelkner, yes16:10
HishamIt's the first thing that pops up when you search NOVA web development16:11
HishamAKA Northern Virginia16:11
AndreiSmart16:11
lelkneralfaroHisham, I'm glad *thats* the case lol16:11
jelknerThat's why it's such a good name! ;-)16:11
HishamXD16:11
lelkneralfaroHisham, if another organization popped up when we search our name16:11
SITarabutait's all about the... keywords/16:11
lelkneralfarothat wouldn't be great lol16:11
SITarabutaIt's funny, sometimes we are battling on NVCC's web development course page lol16:12
SITarabutawith*16:12
ubuntouristSITarabuta, That's because we teach it better than NVCC. 😜16:13
SITarabuta+1 ;-)16:13
nrcerna:D16:13
nrcernaAlright, next item: Plans to address Sanjay's BT issue16:13
jelknerok, in brief, SITarabuta and jelkner had a very productive discussion around BT with Agaric on Friday16:14
jelknerwe agreed to the following:16:14
jelkner1. BT is not ready for real professional use, and Agaric will continue using Harvest (or something) for the next year.16:15
jelkner2. The cost of making it ready is prohibitive, and we have no viable business plan around doing that.16:15
jelkner3. NOVA Web is still to immature a business to even know what features we need, we will no a lot better a year from now.16:16
jelkner4. We are most grateful to Agaric for their continued mentorship of us, and would appreciate it if they could continue to work with us on the gradual development of BT over time.16:16
jelknerSanjay filed the first "low hanging fruit" issue.16:17
jelknerWe now need to be responsive, or they will lose interest in helping us.16:17
jelknerI will fund that issue.16:17
jelknerACTION done16:17

lelkneralfaroubuntourist, I responded to your proposal about the mapping18:20
lelkneralfaroubuntourist, I was wondering if you are notified about my comments18:20
ubuntouristlelkneralfaro, lemme check. My guess is "yes"18:21
ubuntouristYes. It came in as e-mail.18:21
lelkneralfarogot it, I guess that's not ideal. Could lead to too much email clutter18:22
ubuntouristlelkneralfaro, speaking of e-mail, I created a group NWD, and it wanted an address, so I put "members". It apparently then happily sent an invitation to members...18:22
lelkneralfaroyup I see it18:22
