jelknerdcammue, did you see i completed my ToDo task?12:03
jelknersvaye, i understand you may be eager to "get moving" with your plan, but we can't go anywhere we aren't ready to go12:03
dcammueLet check 12:04
jelknerdid you see my feedback in the ToDo app?12:04
svayeno jelkner 12:04

thomasboimah2. https://share.mayfirst.org/s/Z5AnZN7WSPr2Nb412:05
jelkner+112:06
jelknerso, svaye, you can see that in my feedback i mentioned that the business plan looks fine at this point as a nice first draft12:07
svayeI saw it12:07
jelknerbut that we aren't ready to actually "implement" it yet.12:07
jelknerwhy?12:07
jelknersvaye and dcammue, this is for both of you12:07
svayeWe are still in the process of learning 12:07
jelkner+1!!!12:07
jelknerawesome12:08
jelknerto be in business we need a "product"12:08
jelknerour "product" is our skills as web developers and bookkeepers12:08
jelkneraccording to your plan, svaye 12:08
svayeI think this is time we get our roles and responsibility right jelkner 12:08
jelknerit sure it12:09
jelknerbut keep in mind that we are a small, democratic organization that will be constantly changing over time12:10
jelknerso we will have to always be ready to adapt, modify, adjust12:10
svayedcammue, is our bookkeeper, thomasboimah is our developer for now, I would say I am the business manager12:10
jelknerinnovate, expand, contract, etc.12:10
jelknerthat sounds find12:10
jelkners/find/fine12:11
jelknerbut i think we need to operate in twos at least12:11
svayeinstead of going in circle and trying to do everything we should stay were we are and grow12:11
jelknerotherwise, you are building a fragile organization with several single points of failure12:11
jelknerif thomasboimah gets sick, you have no developer12:11
jelknerif dcammue gets sick, the bookkeeping doesn't get done12:12
jelknerif svaye is out, no one manages projects12:12
jelknerthat won't work12:12
thomasboimahmulbah use to be a smart guys i don't know way he back down this few days12:12
jelknerwe will have angry customers all the time!!!12:12
svayeWhat we should focus on is how we can get other people to fill in the three major positions we have now12:12
jelknerwhy is Jetro taking so darn long to get my work done???!!!12:12
jelkneryou get me, svaye?12:13
jelknerso we want to start with two at least of everything12:13
svayeyes jelkner 12:13
jelkneri like what you are saying about roles12:13
jelknerand you have identified the three leads12:14
jelkneryou 312:14
jelknerlet's think about the roles of the other 4 members12:14
jelknerin my mind, thomasboimah was leader of a team of 312:14
thomasboimahJanet and Freena can back svaye and dcammue up12:14
jelknerbut the other 2 members are not acting as much as "parts of the team" as i had hoped they would12:15
jelkneri'm talking mulbah and gabriel12:15
thomasboimahmulbah use to be a smart guy i don't know way he back down this few days12:15
jelknerwe've been blocking on the office i felt12:15
jelknerso i planned to focus on that struggle once y'all moved in12:16
jelknerwhich will finally happen soon now12:16
jelknerafter you move in, and setup our required basic infrastructure - including dependable electricity and unlimited bandwidth12:17
jelknerwe can shift focus to building the dev team there12:17
jelknerthat was my thought12:17
jelknerwhat do you think thomasboimah?12:17
thomasboimahI confuse jelkner i really don't know way12:17
dcammueThat the idea 12:18
thomasboimahI think i will have talk with him12:18
jelknergreat12:18
thomasboimah*to*12:18
jelknertell me more12:18
thomasboimahI think i will have to talk with him12:18
jelknersure12:18
jelknerthat's my point12:19
svayejelkner, I believe with the office space available we can have meetings and stay dedicated to our responsibilities12:19
jelknerhe is here sometimes, and other times not12:19
jelknerwe don't know when12:19
jelknerso we can't plan very well12:19
jelknera good business team that does not make12:19
jelknerhe frequently drops off because he runs out of bandwidth12:20
jelkneror because his connection isn't good12:20
jelknerpros can't operate in conditions like that12:20
jelknerthey need their tools to "just work" most of the time!12:20
jelknerthomasboimah, thoughts?12:21
jelknerthomasboimah, let me ask you another question...12:21
thomasboimahI think that will be great, getting the office that way we will be able to help one another out12:21
jelknerwhat should be the next thing we do to integrate mulbah and gabriel into the dev team?12:22
*** svaye has quit (Remote host closed the connection)12:22
jelknersee what i mean12:22
jelknersvaye just dropped12:22
jelknerwe need an office!12:22
thomasboimahjelkner, don't you think we should add them to the Django team you and chris created12:22
jelknerGreat!!!12:23
jelkneryes indeed, that's exactly what we need to do12:23
jelknerso thomasboimah, here's the thing12:23
jelkneryou need to figure out if they are ready12:23
jelkneryou watch, ben, joshua and kara are going to perform well12:23
thomasboimahSome time folks is afried to join the hexchat because they do have report to give12:23
thomasboimah*don't*12:23
jelknerthey have strong "young professional" skills12:24
jelkneryou do too, thomasboimah 12:24
thomasboimahSo if we give them something to do i guess they will be here to give report12:24
jelknerbut i don't feel our other young jetro devs are there yet12:24
jelknerso we need to get them there12:24
jelknerpart of our problem is financial12:24
jelknerwe will all be discussing the Jetro business plan a lot during the month i am there with you12:25
jelknerbut between now and then we have a lot of work to do12:25
jelknerif we want other jetro members to get paid12:25
jelknerwe need to generate revenue12:26
thomasboimahYes!12:26
jelknerdcammue is working hard toward that goal12:26
jelknerand svaye, you should work with him12:26
thomasboimahshout out to dcammue 12:26
svaye+112:26
jelknerfor now i think, both of you should be both bookkeepers and project managers12:26
jelkneryou should learn to discuss things together12:27
jelknerso that dcammue is the first person svaye talks to when she has an idea, and svaye is the first person dcammue talks to when he has an idea12:27
dcammueAll these happened when we have somewhere to meet12:27
dcammueAnd we are at that point 12:28
jelknerthere is an old saying (an y'all know i love old sayings! ;-), "Two heads are better than one"12:28
svayeexactly jelkner 12:28
jelknerthomasboimah, i want to help you with the dev team12:28
