jelknerwe can get a lot more done if we have several conversations at the same time13:15
jelknerotherwise, tboimah, most of us just sit and wait13:15
jelknerwe will learn that in the IT business, things move *FAST*!13:15
tboimahhmmm okay if you say so13:15
jelknerthere is not time to sit and wait13:15
jelkneryou can make it easier to follow by putting the nicks of the users you are addressing, tboimah 13:16
jelknerthat way it shows up in a different color for them13:16
jelknerand is easier to read, tboimah 13:16

scooper*cancel13:22
fkoikoisure Jeff13:23
jelknerlet's talk very briefly about what Saturday meetings are for, and how they should be run13:23
fkoikoiokay13:23
jelknerTwo things:13:23
jelkner1. Saturday meeting topics should be broad and general13:24
jelkner2. Meetings should move quick and be short13:24
jelknerin agile software development, morning meetings are often called "Stand up meetings"13:24
jelknerbecause to keep them short, everyone is told to stand while they happen13:24
jelknerthat way people will move faster, so they can sit down when it is over ;-)13:25
jelknerthis is not a time for labs, or teaching new things13:25
jelknerthis is a time for taking care of business13:25
jelknerthat means:13:25
jelkner1. sharing important general info (like schedules)13:25
jelkner2. providing brief updates from each group (so other folks know what is happening with them)13:26
jelkner3. making decisions13:26
jelknerthat's what the meetings should be about13:26
jelknerthe learning takes place in the study groups now13:26
jelknermake sense?13:27
scooper+113:27
fkoikoi+113:27
jelknerjanet, dcammue, mulbah, svaye, Thomas_?13:28

svaye+113:28
janetsure13:28
Thomas_+113:28
scooperno or yes13:28
dcammue+113:29
jelknergreat13:29
mulbah+113:29
jelknerso, i need to take the bus and then the train to DC to meet with Kevin and the man we hope will build a school for us13:29
jelkneranything else you need from me before i go?13:30
scoopersound great13:30
fkoikoibut can you make the team understand something before you leave Jeff13:30
jelknersure, fkoikoi 13:30
jelknerwhat do you want to understand?13:30
fkoikoiWere you saying that we shouldn't write the test since we are not prepare?13:31
jelknerwhich test, fkoikoi?13:31
fkoikoiThe CIW test13:31
fkoikoithat we suppose to write in August13:31
jelknerThe CIW test is for the web group only13:31
jelknersvaye and dcammue 13:31
jelknerthey are the only two enrolled in the course13:32
scooperWhat abou the Python and Sysadmi????13:32
jelknerit covers HTML, CSS, and JavaScript13:32
jelknerscooper, we have to decide together13:32
scoopergot13:33
scooperu13:33
jelknerwe need to move forward, but we need to use our resources wisely13:33
jelknereach "seat" in the CIW course cost $15013:33
jelknerthat was $30013:33
jelknerfor the two students13:33
scooperWe have some money in save already that can be use for that purpose to was the test......13:34
jelknerif they learn a lot from the course, and especially if they pass the certification exam, it will be very worth it13:34
*** shmohamud has quit (Remote host closed the connection)13:34
jelkneri can monitor their progress on the site13:34
jelknerthere is a good exam for Python13:35
jelknerhttps://pythoninstitute.org/pcep13:35
jelknerfor that one, the exam + retake + practice exam costs $84.9013:36
jelknerbut it is up to the Python group and Sahnun13:36
jelknerto decide if they want to do that13:36
jelknerfor the system admin folks13:37
*** Thomas_ has quit (Remote host closed the connection)13:38
jelknerhttps://www.lpi.org/our-certifications/lpic-1-overview13:38
jelknermight be good13:38
jelknerbut we need to talk to kevin about that13:38
jelkneri'll be seeing him today13:38
jelknerso i'll bring it up13:39
jelknerhttps://global4.lpimarketplace.com/shop/lpic-113:39
jelknerlooks like $90 to take the exam13:40
jelknerit would be wonderful if we could get at least one person in each group certified13:40
jelknerbut all these exams are challenging, so we would need to work *very hard* to do it!13:40
jelkneranything else before i go?13:41
scooperyes13:41
scooperanyway svaye will ask you13:41
svayeJeff have you already paid the $300 for me and dcammue?13:41

jelknerok, anything else before i go?13:43
mulbahJeff if we are to take the test are you going to be the one to pay for us13:43
jelknerwhich test, mulbah?13:43
jelknermulbah, i am currently sending $800 per month13:43
mulbahthe link you was sending13:44
jelkneri can't afford much more than that13:44
jelknerwe have to decide together how to use our resources13:44
mulbahOkay 13:44
mulbahI though we was taking test too13:44
jelknerif you can pass, it will help us *a lot*13:44
jelknermulbah, i am only leading the web study group13:45
jelknerwe need shmohamud to decide if he can lead the Python group to PCEP13:45
jelknerand we need Kevin to decide if he wants LPIC13:45
jelkneri can't do that13:46
mulbahAlright thanks for the understanding13:46
jelkneronce the groups decide what they want13:46
*** shmohamud has quit (Remote host closed the connection)13:46
jelknerwe need to talk together about how to move on each one13:46
fkoikoisure13:46
*** tboimah has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)13:47
jelknerremember, the *most* important of all is your college degree13:47
jelknerit will be courses for that, not certification exams13:47
jelknerbut both things support each other13:47
jelknerif you got the PCEP, for example13:48
jelknerthe first programming course at UoPeople would be *much* easier!13:48
jelknersince you would already know the basics of Python13:48
jelknerother questions?13:48
jelkneri gotta get going13:48
fkoikoi-113:48
