dcammueGood morning jelkner 10:56
jelknerI'm scrambling, since I ran into technical problems in my classroom that I need to fix before students arrive10:57
jelknerbut I've got about 30 minutes, so let's jump right in10:57

jelkner1. a brief word on written communication with customers10:58
jelkner2. svaye's availability and schedule10:58
jelkner3. dcammue and svaye access to NWD bank account10:58

jelkner+110:59
jelknercool11:00
jelknerok, let me start by saying dcammue that i felt bad before, during and after our conversation yesterday about emails to customers11:00
jelkneri really hate that conversation, though i still think we need to have it11:00
jelknerbasically, i'd like to start referring to the form of English we need to use as the "Oppressor dialect"11:01
jelknersince that's what it is11:01
jelknerso called "standard English" is just the dialect that the ruling class uses, and they use it to oppress us11:01
jelkner:-(11:01
jelknerbut if we are doing to wage our struggle on the oppressor's territory (and we must, since the oppressors control most of the world)11:02
jelknerwe need to use his dialect in our business communication11:02
jelknerthat's all i have to say about that11:03
jelknerany thoughts?11:03
Jallahdcammue, Yes! I have created that ever since bro11:03
jelkneranything else?11:04
smohamudStandup: Met with Colab Coop team member and we're determining whether there's areas we can support each other. Great chat and great coop. (2) Working on CJS "Add to Calendar" button feature and evaluating FOSS options like django-ical library to support for the .ics download. The skeleton/callbacks are in-place for the Add to Calendar button and today will be about completing the UI/UX design and if possible implementing it (minus the .ics 11:04
smohamuddownload and DB persistence). AMS Project meeting is this weekend and blocked on that until Data Defs Engineering Circle meeting. Otherwise not blocked. 11:04
jelkneri don't want to rush this, but i've got 20 more minutes11:04
svayejelkner, what do you mean by his dialect?11:04
jelkneri mean, svaye, what is called "standard English"11:05
svayeOkay11:05
jelknerthat is nothing more than a dialect11:05
jelknerand it is the one the oppressors use11:05
