jelknerjamesoconnr, great to see you20:31
jamesoconnrGreat to be back20:31
jelknerbtw, let's make it goal for next week that i am not the only one entering items for the agenda20:31
johan_f+120:32
jelknerthat will be one way to both measure who is thinking about how to lead us forward, as well as a way to help train us to do that20:32
klarios+1 we should come to consensus and have a brief meeting about what should be in the agenda for the upcoming week20:32
ved+120:32
klarioswe should do so for all upcoming weeks20:32
jelknerklarios, i think people should just add what they think needs to be discussed20:33
jelknerno need to add yet another meeting20:33
jelknerwe have enough to do getting folks to this one20:33
klarios+1 we need to understand whether were on the same page as ewll20:33
anthony_pI get the urge to do so, but having a meeting about a meeting tends to be counterproductive20:33
jelkner+1!20:33
jelknerplease, NO meta meetings20:34
klarios+1 I agree, I think having a planning doc would be a good idea20:34
klariosweekly planning doc20:34
jelknerklarios, Decidim!!!!!20:34
klariosYes decidim!20:34
jelknerplease start using it!20:34
anthony_pthe meeting itself should be enough to suffice to cover issues, but if we find that there are enough issues to go over/cover on a regular basis, we may want to look at extending meeting times in the future to 45 minutes or an hour20:34
jelknerwith the help of johan_f, i have been making baby steps20:35
jelknerwe need to do much more of that20:35
jelknerso please do20:35
anthony_pi've been putting in meetings into decidim regularly, for this meeting time slot20:35
klarios+1 we should make a process, I have free time to do so today20:35
jelkneranthony_p, i think now (and johan_f, please correct me if i'm wrong)20:36
anthony_pplease feel free to go in there and update the meeding with any planning meetings for the meeting beforehand20:36
johan_fyeah under the meeting time slot we can have the agenda20:36
jelknera meeting discussion can be a process20:36
jelknerand questions can then be added to it20:36
jelknerhttps://decidim.novawebdevelopment.org/processes/novavasen/f/48/debates20:36
jelknerdebates, rather20:36
jelknerso if you're not sure if an item should go in the agenda20:37
jelknermake it a debate20:37
jelknerand add it only when you let other weigh in20:37
jelknerif there is something you need discussed, however, just add it to the agenda, we're still a small enough group we can do that20:38
anthony_pi do try to have the meetings  set up for at least 2 weeks out, feel free to update them as we need20:38
jelknerok, i'm waiting for NOVA Web to respond with my request for work20:38
johan_fyes we could have a process for meetings specifically but i think it would be more intuitive to have a debate module under the NOVA assembly20:38
jelkneron the irc bot20:38
jelknerit is really important that the dev team:20:38
jelkner1. figure out how to assign work20:38
klariosjelkner: Yeah I agree, it would be more organized20:39
jelkner2. assigns it and gets ti done!20:39
vedi did respond20:39
jelknerwe need to integrate our activity with the emerging jetro devs too20:39
jelknermy apologies, ved20:39
jelkneri didn't see it20:39
jelknerby email?20:40
jelkneranyway, 10 minutes have passed, and we have 3 items20:40
jelknerso let's move on20:40
jelkneri'll look for the email tomorrow morning20:40
jelkneritems two:20:40
jelknerProject management software exploration report (added by jelkner)20:41
jelknerBoth my colleague at ACC, Chris Jones, and anthony_p, have been asking for this20:41
vedyes20:42
jelkneri am taking a grad course starting nov. 14 in project management, so i'll have to look into for the course anyway20:42
anthony_ptheres the obvious one that comes up first when searching for it, OpenProject, and open source project management software20:42
jelknerso Chris and I are setting up an account to use with our students here:20:42
anthony_pbut that's just one option20:42
jelknerhttps://www.openproject.org/20:42
klariosyes open project is very avaliable and reliable20:42
jelknerand it's Rails, which aligns with our tech focus for this year20:43
anthony_pthat's helpful20:43
jelknerso at this point this is just an FYI20:43
ledmerOk should we all set up an account?20:43
jelkneri leave that up to you, ledmer 20:43
jelknermy only concern is that folks aren't using our Decidim20:43
jelknerif we keep piling on more tech, and not really learning to use it to change the way we interact with the world and each other20:44
jelknerwe aren't accomplishing anything20:44
anthony_pthere are other options that we should look at first before coming to a final decision20:44
jamesoconnr+1 jelkner20:44
klariosdecidim is and could be a really good project management tool. We just need to be more effective at this moment20:45
jelkner+120:45
anthony_pbut we do need to use these tools to actually make installations and maintenance worthwhile20:45
jelknerChris and I will be using OpenProject with our students20:45
jelknerso i'll report back on it20:45
ledmernice20:45
ledmer!agenda20:45
LittleWebsterThis is the agenda for the next meeting:20:45
LittleWebsterThe IRC bot RFP. Does NOVA Web actually do work for pay? (added by jelkner)20:45
LittleWebsterProject management software exploration report (added by jelkner)20:45
LittleWebsterTech Worker Owners meeting 11/13 @ 4:30 pm (added by jelkner)20:45
jelknerright now, let's please work with johan_f to learn to use Decidim!20:45
jelknercool, ledmer 20:46
jelknerok, one more item and i'm done20:46
klarios+1 I agree. If there were options to add more project management features eitehr into decidim or business tracker, we would not need to seek anything else20:46
jelkneranthony_p, klarios are you on top of the tech coop meeting on 11/13?20:46
anthony_pi'm not sure that decidim is really a great option for software project management, a specific tool will be better suited for that, because there's a big difference between the software development process and more general processes20:46
klariosyes, I wll be able to attend20:46
anthony_pyes20:46
ledmer+1 anthony_P20:46
jelknerthank you!20:46
klarios@everyone we are discussing the topic of quarterly projects with the cooperatives. We have to create a presentation revolving around the tech and business aspect of our products. We decided when we will present on December20:47
jelknerwe need to share to load on our networking20:47
klariosat the tech worker owner meeting20:47
jelknerso i am relived that i can count on you two to cover that20:48
anthony_pa lot of project management tools for software dev are more likely to have integration with source control like git, which can tie it together and improve it's usability 20:48
klariosanthony_p: when should we plan our presentation for the tech worker coops?20:49
jelknerso anthony_p, you, ledmer, jamesoconnr, thomas and gabriel should figure out how you want to manager your dev workflow20:49
anthony_pwe should meet using video chat or in person20:49
ledmersounds good20:50
klarios+1 I will be in person for the month of december and start of january before the spring semester20:50
jelknerand the business folks can be the ones learning Decidim primarily20:50
anthony_pklarios, we should meet about the presentation before or after a meeting in arlington in person, if you can make it, or schedule a video chat20:50
jelknersince we can use it to *decide* what we need to do20:50
klariosanthony_p:  lets discuss the meeting details on decidm20:51
klariosas well as brainstroming20:51
jelkneri'll be meeting with ved, ledmer, and Devesh on Saturday at the Library20:51
DeveshWhat time will that take place? I'm taking the SAT in the morning, so any time after 12 should work. 20:52
anthony_pledmer, jamesoconnr, if we're going to set up a software development process/project management, we should create a room for the topic on zulip and contain it there20:52
jelkneri'll bring up again (and again, and again ;-) my ask for help learning to use Decidim20:52
jelknersince we can't offer support for it until we really know how to use it20:52
jelknerand we don't20:52
jelknerso that is a fundamental part of our coop development20:52
