Damonhello21:17
dcammueHello Amar , arya , Damon, @21:17
jelknersince it will make collaboration with liberia a lot easier21:17
jelkner*and* since we are meeting earlier21:17
jelknerso devesh, it's your show21:17
jelknerlead us on...21:17
deveshAlright21:18
deveshSo I would say the first thing to look at would be whether or not the changes were made to the website21:18
deveshLast meeting we suggested some minor fixes 21:18
jelkner+121:18
jelknernot so minor!21:18
jelknerthe messaging is crucial to me21:18
jelknernope, no changes21:19
deveshIt looks like those changes have not been made21:19
AmarDanniel any updates on that?21:19
deveshAre we able to get in contact with Thomas at all?21:19
deveshDaniel wouldn't be the one leading that21:20
jelknerdcammue is the man for that21:20
Amaroh right21:20
deveshOhhh21:20
deveshMy apologies21:20
jelknerAmar, are you the one working with him on that?21:20
AmarNo i beleive that was bennet21:20
jelknerand bennet isn't here21:20
jelknerdevesh, we need to figure out who will be responsible for getting this done21:21
jelknerand remind them to do it21:21
jelknerwe are blocking on this21:21
deveshI'll get in contact with Bennet after the meeting. I think he may be joining us today though21:21
jelknerwe can't start the campaign with a "We want your trash" messaging!21:22
dcammueTboimah will be here in a minute21:22
jelknerthere we go, nice!21:22
bennetHello! I apologize for the late arrival 21:22
thomasboimahHello everyone21:23
jelknerwe have everyone now21:23
bennetWas having troubles connecting 21:23
jelknerACTION waits patiently for devesh to move the meeting forward21:25
deveshOkay21:25
deveshbennet  and thomasboimah: we were wondering if we had any updates to the website21:25
deveshor any updates into how it will be moving forward21:26
deveshwe made some suggestions last meeting about the language, and emphasizing the need to have contact info more prevalent 21:26
deveshnotably to not say that we want 'Devices that are old, slow, or have minor issues'21:27
thomasboimahThere is link on the sjcompute.org website to the campaign. But i guess it still need some editing with wording.21:28
bennetThe website should be good last time I checked it was just the website contact me page 21:28
bennetyeah we will edit the wording 21:28
jelknerthomasboimah, you missed our conversation last meeting21:28
bennetthank you for the  feedback21:29
jelkneri'm concerned with the messaging21:29
jelknerwe don't want broken or crappy laptops21:29
jelknerwe want nice stuff that is worth shipping to liberia21:29
jelknerand if we get enough, even using with Grace Hopper Center CS students21:30
jelknerbut the campaign now is focused on Liberia21:30
jelknerso i can bring them (or ship them) before i leave in june21:30
jelknercjones suggested the idea of pitching Windows 10 laptops that can't run Windows 1121:30
jelknerthat's ok21:30
jelknerbut *only* if they work well21:31
jelknerNO TRASH!21:31
jelknerthis is a good conversation for a business club21:31
jelknerit's about messaging21:31
jelknerwhen i look at the "We Accept" box, it says to me, "we'll take your trash away from you and make you feel like you did something good with it"21:32
jelknerthat is definitely not what we want for messaging21:32
thomasboimahsure21:33
bennetApologies I relayed the message to Thomas poorly will get on that as soon as we can 21:33
jelknerso can we agree that bennet and thomasboimah will fix that?21:33
bennetyes21:33
thomasboimahYes21:33
jelknergreat, next item devesh21:33
deveshAmar, do we have any assignments or anything that we should work on before next meeting?21:34
deveshOr any updates on the marketing campaign in general21:34
AmarIt would be great if everyone could find 2 people or 2 companies that I could reach or to21:35
deveshWill do. We should make a spreadsheet for this. 21:35
jelkneri can't say i know companies, but mr. zawolo has an idea who to ask21:35
jelknerand i'll commit to follow up with him21:35
AmarYes I’ll get on the spreadsheet 21:36
jelknerok, can i get an agenda item?21:37
deveshyes21:37
jelknersince this is a business club, seems to me we should be focusing on helping y'all learn business skills21:38
jelknerincluding:21:38
jelkner1. How to set an agenda21:38
jelkner2. How to chair a meeting21:38
jelknerThe goal is to get folks together to accomplish things21:38
jelknerand as we geeks like to do, to do it *quickly*21:39
jelknerno sitting around waiting21:39
jelknermove! time is money!21:39
jelknerlol21:39
jelknerso, who wants to chair the next meeting?21:39
jelknerit shouldn't all fall on devesh 21:39
jelknerbut it *definitely* shouldn't be me21:39
jelknersince i'm here to mentor21:40
jelknernot manage21:40
jelknerwe could have a rotating chair21:40
jelkneror we could have one person keep doing it21:40
dcammueNo, not pretty fine21:41
deveshI think we should rotate chairs 21:41
deveshThat way everyone gets the opportunity to do so21:41
dcammueRotating chair21:41
jelknerbut the chair needs to set an agenda, send out a reminder email, and then move the agenda during the meeting21:41
jelknerworks for me21:41
jelknerso who will chair our next meeting?21:41
jelknerdon't all volunteer at once! ;-)21:42
dcammueI can chair, but I need more infor on how far you have gone21:42
jelkneri have another proposal21:43
bennetI’ll volunteer I think I have an idea on what the next meeting should be on 21:43
jelknerdcammue, let bennet do it, since we want to get the club members engaged21:43
jelknerbut thanks for offering21:43
dcammueOkay21:43
jelknergreat bennet, you can chair next time21:44
jelknerand may i make one last suggestion that will help us?21:44
bennetAmazing! Ofcourse any feedback is helpful 21:44
jelknerto add to the duties of the rotating chair, the chair for the meeting should reach out ahead of time to the others to line up the next chair21:45
jelkneris that ok bennet?21:45
bennetYes ofcourse sounds like a plan 21:45
jelknergreat21:46
deveshIs there anything else that we need to cover today?21:46
jelknerso we meet here in two weeks at 4:15 EST with bennet as chair21:46
devesh+121:46
jelknerand an updated website!21:46
jelkneranother cool thing about meeting in irc is that we have a bot logging this for us21:47
jelknerso we don't need to take notes21:47
bennetWas there any other feedback for the website? 21:47
jelknerit looks nice!21:48
jelknermy only concern was the messaging21:48
bennetOk that’s good we’ll get on that right away. 21:48
dcammueI think the connect link is not working bennet21:48
bennetConnect link? To the model webpage of the contact me page? 21:49
bennetI’m sorry just a little confused 21:50
dcammueHome page, there is a link says, 'connect'21:50
dcammueAdress not found21:51
dcammue Okay bennet21:51
bennetChecking right now 21:51
dcammueJust got to understand that it is on the sjc web site21:52
dcammueNot the champaign site21:53
dcammuejelkner: 21:53
thomasboimah dcammue that connect button is on sjcompute website not on the website campaign. it is an extended link. linking to this website: https://gettogether.community/social-justice-computing But it seem like that site is down21:53
bennetYeah I see,  was confused initially but it may just be domain issues I’ll contact 21:54
thomasboimahI think this need to be fix, we don't want no broken link on the sjcompute website21:54
thomasboimahI will fix that now21:54
jelknergreat21:54
