StephenI sent everyone a "Implementation Plan", rather than an expanded business plan because that's really what's needed right now.15:28

jelknerok, jetro, i'll give you your homework assignment15:35
jelknerfor the while team15:35
jelknerbetween now and then:15:35
gabriel+115:35
jelkner1. Read and discuss Dr. Hubbard's proposal15:36
dcammue_so that's means today we will not have the meeting?15:36
jelknerwe are meeting now dcammue_ 15:36
StephenIf you don't have a copy, Email me.  SMHubbardpp@Gmail.com15:36
dcammue_okay, let's continue 15:36
gabrieljelkner, is this everyone task or for only the business people?15:36
jelkner2. Look at this link: https://help.mayfirst.org/en/guide/how-to-use-Jitsi-Meet-video-conference-platform15:37
jelknerStephen, if svaye has it, they all have it15:37
jelknerthey work well as a team15:37
StephenOk...15:37
jelknerwhich our greatest strength15:37
jelknerwe need to both rely on that and build on it15:37
jelknermulbah, are you here?15:37
jelkneryou seem grayed out15:38
jelknerwhich usually means away15:38
StephenIt's a suggestion, not a mandate, so discuss it and decide if its helpful or if not, what then next 1st steps should be...15:38
jelknerof course, Stephen, it is a big help15:38
jelknerthank you15:38
Stephen...it not, then what do you suggest the next set of steps to getting the business up and going should be.  This does not include logistics and practical stuff on your end (paying the electrical bill, etc.)15:39
jelknerok, mulbah didn't answer15:41
svayeI read the implementation plan Dr Hubbard, and it's quite helpful15:41
jelknergabriel and tboimah can i ask you two to check out the jitsi server?15:41
ledmerI suggest there are clear goals marked 15:42
tboimahsure15:42
jelknerledmer, since this channel is automatically logged15:42
jelknerit will be easy to refer to anything we decide here15:42
jelknerand everyone has access to it15:42
jelknertboimah, thanks15:42
ledmerprobably with self imposed deadlines to meet them15:42
jelkner+115:42
gabrieldone15:43
ledmerTry to make a document with the goals and the time so that everyone has access to it15:45
StephenWhat the Implementation plan is trying to do is determine your cost of doing business, expressed in 1 hr. of consulting15:45
StephenAnd then determine how many customers do you need to earn enough to break even, or just cover your current and future costs (broken PC, etc.)15:46
jelkneryes, Stephen 15:46
jelknersvaye, and dcammue_ especially need to begin thinking that way15:46
jelknerthe whole coop, but starting with the business team15:47
Devesh+115:47
jelknerin fact, Stephen 15:47
StephenAs consultants, you need to have a certain amount of current business, and then a backlog of folks who are waiting for you to get to them.15:47
jelkneri can add a few more things to consider15:47
mulbahJeff I clone the repository of the LittleWebster and I'm modifying it base of the mail you send15:47
jelknerMr. Zawolo and I have been discussing a two year goal15:48
jelknerof forming a non-profit in Liberia, (SJC Liberia, perhaps?)15:48
jelknerthat will purchase a small building15:48
StephenOtherwise, you go from earning $$ to earning nothing because when the current job is done, there's no one waiting in line to fill in the missing revenue...15:48
jelkneryes!15:50
jelkneryou need to budget for that15:50
*** ved has quit (Remote host closed the connection)15:50
jelknerStephen, there are many things that need to happen at once15:50
jelknerMy plan was to have them "practice" on three websites with me as "customer"15:50
jelkner1. Their own Jetro website15:51
jelkner2. Our SJC website15:51
StephenSo hopefully, you will eventually be able to work on several projects at once, with a mix of new systems (1st time customer) and ongoing maintenance (less up-front work).15:51
jelkner3. SECOSOL's website15:51
jelknerWe should treat them as billable projects15:51
jelknerand start setting goals, timelines, and deliverables15:51
StephenYes, that's an excellent approach as you can't figure out the stuff I just outlined above without some customer experience...15:51
jelkneronly when we know they can do that can we begin marketing them to other customers15:52
jelknerwho many not be as patient and nice as we are ;-)15:52
StephenI actually have a website they were working on in the past.  Its the Clean Cooking System for Tanaka, who is now in College at Earlham in the U.S. in Indiana.15:53
jelkneryes15:53
StephenIf he could be fit in, it would be great, as he's putting it in his student proposal for the spring...15:53
StephenAnd its fairly simple stuff...15:54
jelknerthat could be another, if Tanaka is available and wants it15:54
jelknerthat would be great15:54
jelknertboimah, between now and Saturday please see if you can start a video chat on May First's server with meeting room named SocialJusticeComputing15:54
StephenAnd I'm paying for the server in Germany, which you guys can piggyback on if you want.15:54
tboimahOkay, jelkner 15:54
jelknerinvite him to our meeting Saturday, Stephen 15:54
StephenOk.  I'll see if he can make it.15:55
jelkneralright, one last thing and then let's end this meeting15:55
StephenWill that be chat or Video?15:55
jelknercan everyone please introduce yourselves - name, age, and what you are studying to Devesh 15:56
jelknerStephen, that will be video15:56
jelknerbut we want to keep using this channel to record decisions15:56
