jelknerGreat12:02
jelknerjkollie, i had a wonderful conversation with Tony (by phone) on Friday12:03
jkolliethats good to know12:03
jelkneri'm trying to understand better how Decidim fits into the goals of popular democracy and grass roots initiatives12:03
jelknerFor NoVASEN, we will end wanting to do the following things:12:04
jelkner1. Reflect on the state of our world and discuss what things need to be done to improve it.12:05
jkollieyou have my full attention12:05
jelkner2. Decide which of the things we agree need to be changed are most important for us to take action on.12:05
jelkner3. Organize, plan, and act on these things.12:06
jelknerTony made it clear to me that Decidim (which means "We Decide" after all) is designed for 1 and 2, but not 3.12:06
jelknerHaving that clear in my mind helped a lot.12:06
jkollie1 and 2 how do you mean please?12:07
jelknerFor 3, we will need another tool. Something specifically designed for project management.12:07
jelknerI think the best way to answer your question, jkollie, is through practice.12:07
jelknerLet's try it out, so you can *see* what 1 and 2 mean.12:08
jelknerI'll submit a proposal to build a solidarity economy / social justice computing school in Liberia into our Decidim.12:09
jelknerthen the rest of the Jetro crew can join the discussion12:09
jelknerso we can begin to develop a shared vision together for what we are trying to do12:09
jelkneror at least see if we can do that12:10
jelknerit is possible that we don't agree on what needs to be done12:10
jelknerthat will be helpful to know too, of course, since it may suggest *not* going forward with a project we don't agree needs to be done.12:10
jelkneri saw you dropped off12:10
jelknerplease look in the logs and email me with your thoughts.12:11
jkollie_yeah 12:11
jkollie_its the network12:11
jelknerwe need to fix that!12:11
jelknerwe can't do business effectively if you don't have connectivity12:11
jelknerthat's why we go the office12:11
jelknerwhat are you going to do at 10 am today? (15:00 UTC)?12:12
jelkneryou can't use jitsi, and you can't join our SJC board meeting, unless you have reliable connectivity12:12
jelkneri was hoping you would be able to go to the Jetro office now12:12
jelknerand have what you need12:13
jkollie_i'll join, but I pray I dont drop off12:13
jelknerPraying is not the best solution here, jkollie_ 12:13
jkollie_right12:13
jelknercan you get to the office?12:14
jkollie_+112:14
jelknergreat, then we can count on thomasboimah setting you up with the connectivity you need12:14
jelknerthat's why we got the office12:14

jelknerHello freena_!14:49
jelknerthomasboimah, are you in the office?14:49
thomasboimahNo14:51
thomasboimahI did not go to the office today14:51
jelknerthomasboimah, it would be really nice if you or Daniel could support jkollie_ when she has an SJC board meeting.14:55
jelknerFailure to do that is a failure in Jetro cooperation14:55
jelknersince you all depend on each other14:55
thomasboimahsure. But i did not know that Janet have meeting today14:56
jelknerthat's on her14:56
jelknershe isn't communicating effectively14:56
jelkneri don't know what to tell y'all, except that success or failure of this project depends on us increasing our ability to to things well14:57
thomasboimahWhat i will try to do is to teach her on how to please her schedule on the share calender14:57
jkollie_I did mention about the meeting thomasboimah14:57
jelknerand among the most important of those "things" is communication!14:57
jelkneri think you should set up a single nextcloud calendar for Jetro web14:57
jelknerand then learn to use it!14:57
jelknerThat way you get in the habit of looking *one place*14:58
thomasboimah*place14:58
thomasboimahThis will not happen again jelkner 14:58
thomasboimahI will try to make sure it not happen again14:59
