| jelkner | and mulbah too ;-) | 11:51 |
| mulbah | Good morning jeff | 11:51 |
| jelkner | so good to see you, my friend | 11:52 |
| jelkner | today i'm really just hear to talk about our CCHD interim report and our bookkeeping needs for that | 11:52 |
| jelkner | but i'm hoping the time will come when i can just join this channel any time during the day and have a good chance of finding a jetro webster here | 11:53 |
| jelkner | good day thomasboimah | 11:53 |
| thomasboimah | Good morning jelkner | 11:53 |
| thomasboimah | dcammue, and mulbah | 11:53 |
| jelkner | i wasn't expecting to see you or mulbah here this morning | 11:54 |
| jelkner | but it's always good to see you | 11:54 |
| jelkner | while i have you, thomasboimah, i just make you an owner of sjcompute on github | 11:54 |
| jelkner | so you should have all the access you need | 11:54 |
| thomasboimah | Thanks I saw it | 11:55 |
| jelkner | i also have a ToDo question for you, while i've got you here | 11:55 |
| jelkner | i check that app each morning | 11:55 |
| jelkner | now that the list of tasks is getting long | 11:56 |
| *** mulbah has quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) | 11:56 | |
| jelkner | i should add a user story that says "i want to see most recently completed tasks at the top | 11:56 |
| jelkner | hello fkoikoi | 11:56 |
| jelkner | so good to see you!! | 11:57 |
| thomasboimah | Ahh, But there is a feature that should the completed tasks | 11:57 |
| fkoikoi | Good morning jelkner and mkolleh | 11:57 |
| fkoikoi | same here jelkner | 11:57 |
| jelkner | i was deeply saddened by your loss, fkoikoi | 11:58 |
| jelkner | i have very warm memories of the time i met your father | 11:58 |
| jelkner | a wonderful man | 11:58 |
| jelkner | everyone, we don't have a scheduled meeting this morning | 11:59 |
| jelkner | i asked dcammue (and hopefully he can get svaye) here | 11:59 |
| jelkner | since SECOSOL has a report due on wednesday | 12:00 |
| jelkner | and i need bookkeeping help! | 12:00 |
| dcammue | Ok | 12:00 |
| dcammue | How are you jeff | 12:00 |
| jelkner | dcammue, do we have the SECOSOL transaction in Gnucash? | 12:01 |
| dcammue | What the problem | 12:01 |
| jelkner | i sent you the problem, dcammue | 12:01 |
| jelkner | in an email | 12:01 |
| jelkner | don't you read my emails? | 12:01 |
| dcammue | Only for the statement you sent | 12:01 |
| jelkner | ok, where is svaye, dcammue? | 12:02 |
| jelkner | since this is definitely a "teachable moment" | 12:02 |
| jelkner | and i don't have time to do it twice | 12:02 |
| jelkner | it will also be useful for thomasboimah and the rest to listen in on our conversation | 12:03 |
| jelkner | since it will help them think about the similar situation in their work | 12:03 |
| dcammue | Okay she on her way here | 12:03 |
| mulbah | Over the weekend I work with thomas and Ozyne we talk on the LibreOrganize and I clone the repository of LibreOrganize and the business tracker and was able to set it up locally | 12:04 |
| jelkner | thanks dcammue! | 12:04 |
| mulbah | ACTION done | 12:04 |
| jelkner | thanks mulbah | 12:04 |
| jelkner | this isn't a stand up meeting today, but i like the way you did that! ;-) | 12:04 |
| jelkner | svaye, good morning | 12:04 |
| jelkner | good afternoon actually | 12:04 |
| jelkner | are you here? | 12:05 |
| svaye | Yes jelkner | 12:05 |
| svaye | Good morning everyone | 12:05 |
| *** mkolleh has quit (Ping timeout: 480 seconds) | 12:05 | |
| jelkner | so, this will be the season when svaye and dcammue can test whether they are ready and able to actually play a valuable role in business management and bookkeeping | 12:05 |
| svaye | I spoke with Mr Zawolo during the week, he said he would give me a call for us to discuss about the office space, I also set up the SECOSOL database. No blockers | 12:06 |
| jelkner | Catholic charities is the main funding organization for SECOSOL this year | 12:06 |
| jelkner | svaye, when you say you set up the database, what do you mean? | 12:06 |
| jelkner | here me out | 12:06 |
| jelkner | SECOSOL received a grant of $35K last July | 12:07 |
| jelkner | the grant runs from July 2025 to July 2026 | 12:07 |
| jelkner | we received half ($17.5K) at the beginning of August | 12:08 |
| svaye | Jelkner I placed the transaction I got from the bank statement in the database | 12:08 |
| jelkner | dcammue, are you aware of this? | 12:08 |
| jelkner | can i log in and see the setup? | 12:08 |
| jelkner | i need to answer one question: How much of the first disbursement has been spent so far | 12:08 |
| jelkner | i don't know how to answer that question | 12:09 |
| *** dcammue has quit (Remote host closed the connection) | 12:09 | |
| jelkner | thomasboimah, dcammue just dropped out | 12:09 |
| jelkner | this is the kind of tech thing y'all need to fix | 12:09 |
| jelkner | it makes it really hard to conduct business when connections drop | 12:09 |
| jelkner | we need to get the jetro office set up | 12:10 |
| svaye | jelkner: we don't have the other bank statements so I only did the transaction for the one you sent, if you can send the others I can work on it | 12:10 |
| jelkner | so you can sit at a computer workstation and do your work | 12:10 |
| jelkner | *NOT* from a phone | 12:10 |
| jelkner | from a computer with a keyboard and a reliable connection | 12:10 |
| jelkner | svaye, i will download all of the PDFs and put them on the postgres server | 12:11 |
| jelkner | then i'll email thomasboimah so he can get them for you | 12:11 |
| jelkner | will that work? | 12:11 |
| svaye | I can work with that jelkner | 12:11 |
| jelkner | excellent | 12:11 |
| jelkner | svaye, dcammue can we meet tomorrow at this same time? | 12:11 |
| svaye | I can get it faster on nextcloud | 12:11 |
| jelkner | but i can't svaye | 12:12 |
| svaye | +1 jelkner | 12:12 |
| jelkner | it is a slower process | 12:12 |
| dcammue | Jeff | 12:12 |
| svaye | Alright jelkner I will get it from thomasboimah | 12:12 |
| jelkner | i will do that each month from now on | 12:12 |
| dcammue | You get the understanding now | 12:12 |
| jelkner | but i'm going to download two years worth of statements | 12:12 |
| *** svaye has left #jetrowebdev (None) | 12:12 | |
| dcammue | I was on my way at the office | 12:12 |
| jelkner | is will be must faster if i just copy those to the vm we have | 12:12 |
| jelkner | nice, dcammue | 12:13 |
| dcammue | I forget something so i went for it | 12:13 |
| jelkner | svaye already told me that she will talk to mr. zawolo | 12:13 |
| dcammue | The transaction you sent is for december not july | 12:13 |
| jelkner | btw. i put a ToDo item that said: get me the address of the office and for jkollie | 12:13 |
| svaye_ | dcammue, that's what I said, but jelkner said he will send the other bank statements | 12:14 |
| dcammue | And we need those transactions to prepare last year book | 12:14 |
| jelkner | can you please do that ASAP? | 12:14 |
| jelkner | i want to add Janet as a member of the SJC board | 12:14 |
| jelkner | but i need her address | 12:14 |
| jelkner | i also want to come visit you in Liberia | 12:15 |
| jelkner | but for that I need a Liberian VISA | 12:15 |
| jelkner | and they want me to put the address where i will be staying | 12:15 |
| jelkner | which i don't have | 12:15 |
| jelkner | so i'm blocking on that | 12:15 |
| dcammue | Okay, tomorrow you will get sir | 12:16 |
| jelkner | thanks my friend! | 12:16 |
| jelkner | ok, dcammue and svaye_, we meet here tomorrow at 12:00 UTC? | 12:16 |
| jelkner | and thomasboimah i know it's your day off | 12:16 |
| svaye_ | Alright jelkner | 12:16 |
| jelkner | but it might be helpful if you could join us | 12:17 |
| thomasboimah | Okay | 12:17 |
| thomasboimah | I will be here | 12:17 |
| jelkner | since if i have trouble accessing the gnucash for SECOSOL | 12:17 |
| jelkner | we may need your help | 12:17 |
| svaye_ | jelkner, you didn't mention the question you need to answer in the mail | 12:18 |
| jelkner | svaye_, i don't understand | 12:18 |
| jelkner | oh yes | 12:18 |
| jelkner | i think i did | 12:18 |
| jelkner | let me look | 12:18 |
| jelkner | https://share.mayfirst.org/s/eofEK82eTrgJcQJ | 12:20 |
| jelkner | look there, svaye_ | 12:20 |
| svaye_ | jelkner, is " Grant funds expended to date" the question | 12:20 |
| jelkner | dcammue, this will be a great opportunity for you to begin learning about the organizations you will hopefully help manage | 12:20 |
| jelkner | yup! | 12:20 |
| jelkner | nice work svaye_! | 12:20 |
| jelkner | to be honest, we have not been keeping our books | 12:21 |
| dcammue | "How much of the first disbursement has been spent so for" this the question right? | 12:21 |
| jelkner | yes, dcammue, svaye_ just typed the exact field that needs to be filled in | 12:21 |
| jelkner | this is complicated | 12:21 |
| jelkner | i'm not sure how to answer | 12:21 |
| svaye_ | jelkner, we need the statement from when the grant was given to present. | 12:21 |
| jelkner | let me give you a little more context | 12:21 |
| jelkner | well, svaye_, we may need to think about this a bit differently | 12:22 |
| jelkner | let me explain | 12:22 |
| svaye_ | we also need to know what the money was spent on from you personally, because will not be on the bank statement | 12:22 |
| jelkner | our biggest expense was the trip we made to North Carolina to visit Industrial Commons and Poder Emma | 12:22 |
| jelkner | that happened in July | 12:22 |
| jelkner | while the first CCHD check came in August | 12:23 |
| jelkner | you will see that our balance was near 0 in July | 12:23 |
| jelkner | so you're truly made an emergency donation so we could go on the trip | 12:23 |
| jelkner | knowing that the CCHD funds would be coming soon | 12:23 |
| jelkner | but we want to count that trip as being funded by CCHD | 12:23 |
| jelkner | make sense? | 12:24 |
| dcammue | Yes | 12:24 |
| svaye_ | That means the grant did not cover the trip am I right? | 12:24 |
| jelkner | well, it depends what you mean by "cover"? | 12:24 |
| jelkner | i say yes it did | 12:24 |
| svaye_ | Okay jelkner I understand now | 12:24 |
| dcammue | No, they used extra funds since the grant was not available | 12:25 |
| jelkner | yes, but we knew it was coming | 12:25 |
| jelkner | so we counted on it | 12:25 |
| jelkner | we could not have done that trip without CCHD | 12:25 |
| jelkner | so i want to attribute the cost of the trip to the grant we got from them | 12:25 |
| jelkner | this is a great opportunity for you two to get to know this organization | 12:26 |
| jelkner | if you are going to do the books for SECOSOL | 12:26 |
| svaye_ | jelkner, let me get this straight, we are going to take the expenditure for the trip from the CCHD grant right? | 12:26 |
| jelkner | you need to understand what it is, who the people are who work with it, and what they are doing | 12:26 |
| jelkner | you can't make sense of a bank statement without knowing the stories behind each transaction | 12:27 |
| jelkner | does that make sense? | 12:27 |
| jelkner | svaye_? | 12:27 |
| jelkner | dcammue? | 12:27 |
| jelkner | do you understand what i'm saying? | 12:27 |
| jelkner | i don't have time to wait for a response | 12:28 |
| svaye_ | Yes jelkner | 12:28 |
| jelkner | great | 12:28 |
| fkoikoi | \me dcammue | 12:28 |
| jelkner | this is very important! | 12:28 |
| jelkner | since success of failure for you keeping SECOSOL books will depend on it | 12:29 |
| jelkner | if you don't understand the organization well, you won't be able to keep its books | 12:29 |
| svaye_ | +1 | 12:29 |
| jelkner | ok, i need to run to the food store | 12:29 |
| jelkner | since i need to use my wife's car (i don't have a car), and she needs it back in an hour | 12:29 |
| jelkner | when i get back, i'll upload all the SECOSOL bank statements for the past 2 years | 12:30 |
| jelkner | so you two can take a look at the organization | 12:30 |
| jelkner | we have our next board meeting on Feb 1 | 12:30 |
| jelkner | we may be making some big decisions | 12:30 |
| jelkner | including possibly looking to hire a full time staff person | 12:30 |
| jelkner | that will mean payroll again | 12:31 |
| jelkner | i messed up payroll before pretty badly | 12:31 |
| jelkner | and i don't want to be responsible for that again | 12:31 |
| svaye_ | I sure we can help you with that jelkner | 12:31 |
| jelkner | i want to hire someone with skills who could do that | 12:31 |
| jelkner | any ideas who we might hire? ;-) | 12:31 |
| svaye_ | You can hire jetroweb | 12:32 |
| jelkner | Yeah!!! | 12:32 |
| jelkner | LOL, you rock, svaye_, that is *just* what i hoped you would say ;-) | 12:32 |
| jelkner | ok, see you tomorrow, same time, same place | 12:33 |
| *** dcammue has quit (Ping timeout: 480 seconds) | 12:33 | |
| svaye_ | jelkner, We are doing our best to be able to handle these things | 12:33 |
| jelkner | thank you all! | 12:33 |
| jelkner | svaye_, you've got smarts, and you've got the will | 12:33 |
| jelkner | so you will succeed | 12:33 |
| svaye_ | Alright jelkner, have a wonderful day. See you tomorrow | 12:33 |
