| thomasboimah | Good morning zOnny | 11:02 |
| zOnny | Yesterday I did some code review on the AMS and also got the Blog tagged with its different versions, keeping everything nicely organized. Things are moving along smoothly. No Blockers. | 11:04 |
| zOnny | ACTION done | 11:04 |
| zOnny | thomasboimah: what is next? | 11:06 |
| zOnny | thomasboimah: I think we have get to the point we are ready for projects | 11:06 |
| thomasboimah | +1 | 11:06 |
| zOnny | after seeing gabriel's work yesterday I think you have solid team there | 11:07 |
| zOnny | I know most of the work for Jetro will come from the U.S. | 11:07 |
| thomasboimah | yep | 11:08 |
| zOnny | thomasboimah: as for now we have NSS AMS but things need to be work there thoughtfully | 11:09 |
| thomasboimah | I will be here ready at anytime if you and Tony need hand | 11:09 |
| zOnny | thomasboimah: thanks | 11:10 |
| zOnny | thomasboimah: It is mostly the logic part in which these apps need to work | 11:11 |
| zOnny | thomasboimah: the spreadsheets they have are loaded with so much data that eventually need to be migrated to the AMS | 11:12 |
| zOnny | thomasboimah: that's all from that project | 11:12 |
| thomasboimah | i sww | 11:12 |
| thomasboimah | *see | 11:12 |
| zOnny | I think the interns will get involve helping with some tests and front end design | 11:13 |
| zOnny | since they show up to our meetings and have look interest collaborating in real world projects | 11:13 |
| zOnny | thomasboimah: I know that also we have Jetro's help | 11:14 |
| zOnny | thomasboimah: sometimes I try to think the best way to balance our projects | 11:15 |
| zOnny | thomasboimah: since we are going to have two meetings it will help us focus on specifics projects | 11:15 |
| thomasboimah | yes | 11:15 |
| zOnny | but those projects will rely on the business team, if there are any projects | 11:16 |
| zOnny | thomasboimah: clearly django projects cannot affort our pay here in the U.S. | 11:17 |
| thomasboimah | Yeah Jeff said that a lot when he was here | 11:17 |
| thomasboimah | That is why he is hoping that the Decidim work | 11:17 |
| thomasboimah | That why it will have NWD member in the US, since it have hard potential of bring in more income | 11:18 |
| thomasboimah | *way | 11:18 |
| thomasboimah | *help | 11:19 |
| zOnny | thomasboimah: Decidim is a long shot if we fit in the right time and right government | 11:19 |
| zOnny | thomasboimah: Jeff's dream was always like that when I was starting with NWD | 11:20 |
| zOnny | thomasboimah: I'm looking for a meeting with him once he comes back | 11:21 |
| zOnny | thomasboimah: that's all from me | 11:23 |
| zOnny | thomasboimah: anything you want to focus this week? | 11:23 |
| zOnny | thomasboimah: as a jetro's Lead developer, you are in the right path | 11:25 |
| thomasboimah | Actual maybe I will work on completing the Organization website i am trying to found with my friends, Since their is nothing much for now | 11:25 |
| zOnny | thomasboimah: that sounds good | 11:25 |
| zOnny | thomasboimah: you have skills to create what is needed for others | 11:26 |
| zOnny | My managerial role in my others job has taught me that others will expect my leadership on starting something | 11:27 |
| zOnny | thomasboimah: eventually, you assigning tasks to your team is my goal | 11:29 |

| jelkner | he is going to pay for one month of your time, thomasboimah, for $500, to work on his website project | 15:52 |
| jelkner | as smohamud and discussed, if you can over deliver (which i know you will), i'm confident he will be motivated to find more funding to continue the project beyond that month | 15:53 |
| jelkner | i need to begin preparing him to be an agile customer | 15:53 |
| jelkner | to submit user stories to guide your work | 15:53 |

| jelkner | thank you! | 15:54 |
| jelkner | Dr. Hubbard has been dreaming of this project for years | 15:55 |
| jelkner | i had to tell, "we're not ready yet, but we will be" | 15:55 |
| jelkner | Yesterday i could tell him "We're ready!" | 15:55 |
| smohamud | Jeff, has Dr. Hubbard provided a requirements list yet? | 15:57 |
| jelkner | btw, has smohamud updated you on the reorganization we've been discussing at NWD? | 15:57 |
| smohamud | Or - should Thomas and I have a meeting with him to determine how he envisions the project. | 15:57 |

| smohamud | +1 | 15:58 |
| thomasboimah | +1 | 15:59 |
| jelkner | sweet | 15:59 |
| jelkner | We are the "Saturday Circle" | 15:59 |
| smohamud | Thomas, have you done db modeling in Django yet? | 15:59 |
| thomasboimah | yes | 16:00 |
| smohamud | Cool | 16:01 |
| smohamud | Any python data visualization library experience? | 16:01 |
| smohamud | I figure he'd probably want some charts, graphs, heat maps etc. | 16:02 |
| smohamud | We don't know, but it wouldn't hurt anyways. | 16:02 |
| jelkner | And those are the skills we'll need in general | 16:02 |
| jelkner | let's do this agile, step-by-step | 16:03 |
| thomasboimah | Yes, I have some experience with Python data visualization, mainly with Matplotlib. I’ve also worked a little with Pandas for data analysis. | 16:03 |
| jelkner | but i am confident those will become stories down the road | 16:03 |
| smohamud | Nice | 16:03 |
| smohamud | For sure - I'm not assigning any work just getting a sense for his experience. | 16:04 |
| smohamud | Thomas - is there a time you'd like to meet to go over UI/UX design principles with me? | 16:04 |
| thomasboimah | Sure, you tell me when. | 16:05 |
| jelkner | ok, dear comrades | 16:05 |
| jelkner | i'll let you devs do your thing | 16:05 |
| smohamud | Ok great, I've got a surge of energy now... Free for a call? | 16:05 |
| jelkner | i've got teacher work to do | 16:05 |
| jelkner | expect email from me by Tuesday | 16:05 |
| zOnny | jelkner: when is Louis Bday? | 16:05 |

| zOnny | jelkner: thanks, Will keep in mind | 16:06 |
| smohamud | And sure thing Thomas, there's no rush. Let's do then. | 16:06 |
| zOnny | jelkner: Please say I say ""What's up" :-) | 16:06 |
| smohamud | What's the main project you're doing UI/UX for now? | 16:06 |
| jelkner | Will do zOnny! | 16:06 |
| jelkner | he will be happy to hear from you | 16:06 |
| jelkner | ACTION signs off for now... | 16:07 |
| jelkner has quit (Quit: Leaving) | 16:07 | |
| thomasboimah | ACTION going to read the begin of the log | 16:07 |
| thomasboimah | *beginning | 16:07 |
| thomasboimah | ACTION done | 16:15 |
| smohamud | Cool, @thomas | 16:17 |
| smohamud | What project are you doing UI/UX for these days? | 16:17 |
| thomasboimah | smohamud, Recently I was working on the-blog, which is pretty much done for now, and I’ve also been working with Jeff students on the Grace Hopper Center Technology Library app (https://codeberg.org/GraceHopperCenter/ghctechlib.git) . Those are the main projects I’ve been working on recently from a UI/UX perspective. | 16:17 |
| smohamud | cool | 16:17 |
| smohamud | Before we meet, I want you to think about the types of users / visitors those websites would have. Typically there are various groupings of similar users, all of who have different priorities and needs on a website. | 16:18 |
| smohamud | Once you know your users you can begin to design the UI/UX so that they can get to what they need the fastest and in a way that is intuitive for them, based on their background. | 16:19 |
| smohamud | Does that sound like something you want to give a try? | 16:20 |
| thomasboimah | smohamud, I guess you have talked with Jeff about this project, can you please tell me more on what Dr hubbard want or the type of project? | 16:20 |
| thomasboimah | sure | 16:20 |
| smohamud | Cool | 16:20 |
| thomasboimah | smohamud, I guess you have talked with Jeff about this project, can you please tell me more on what Dr hubbard want or the type of project? since that was not mention in the log | 16:21 |
| smohamud | and I don't know much. What I know is: Dr. Hubbard wrote a paper (possibly his grad school thesis) on the state of US Infrastructure. | 16:21 |
| smohamud | I believe his goal is to raise awareness of areas that are severely lacking in quality infrastructure, possibly to make it easy for users to take political action too by emailing government representatives. | 16:22 |
| smohamud | Sunday we'll come with questions to find out what he wants, what his goals are etc. | 16:22 |
| thomasboimah | gotcha you, Thanks | 16:23 |
| smohamud | cool | 16:23 |
| smohamud | what's a good time to meet tomorrow? | 16:23 |
| thomasboimah | 3:00 UTC | 16:23 |
| thomasboimah | dose that work for you? | 16:23 |
| smohamud | Ok, so 3pm your time 6pm my time? | 16:23 |
| thomasboimah | yes | 16:24 |
| smohamud | Done. Meet with you then :) | 16:24 |
| thomasboimah | Okay | 16:24 |
| smohamud | Let's try Jitsi, my internet is poor but it worked well enough the other day. | 16:24 |
| thomasboimah | Alright, what you think will be a greeting name? | 16:25 |
