jonl: what are your thoughts on what i sent earlier?

zrl: jonl: just a heads up- we have a workshop at Lincoln tomorrow at ~3pm

maxw: do you have plans on what to do for it?

zrl not sure what you mean specifically

maxw, i think i want to focus on fundraising right now

maxw: i'll go with you

zrl: jonl: kk, I'll probably go with the twilio project

👍 i think we'll get to the point where that's a cohesive intro workshop

could be our version of make school's flappy bird

they did a really great job putting together cohesive, reproducible workshops

jonl: move in-person discussion to irc/github

zrl, open to trying but I already feel that talking over text is a blocking issue for me

why is it a blocking issue for you?

you've mentioned this in the past, but i didn't quite get a grasp on the issue

zrl will discuss in person

lol

I am slower at typing

it takes me 4x longer

and makes me feel frustrated

to convey larger ideas

jonl: is it alright if i move the "Main Funders List" to libreoffice/git?

sure, I will be continuing to use the Google Drive version though

Also I don't want my sheets to be public

jonl: agreed, this would be appropriate for something like dropbox

or a private git repo later

zrl, jonl, it is currently a blocking issue for me that my inboxes and tasks are not updated in Asana, hoping to change that this week.

I like your initial suggestion from complete inbox 0 every day. I will commit to that after i reach it

thoughts zrl?

i'm curious as to whether asana is the most effective system for these sorts of things

i wonder if there's something more public we could use

or perhaps a good hybrid

I'm down but I have private things in there as well.

exactly

as to why a hybrid system might work well

Asana has an api

i briefly looked and couldn't find a great integration with github issues

Also it would be nice that if either of us assigns something to someone, it is dealt with at the end of the day (either say I will do this later, an updated timid estimate or a comment saying I won't do it in time)

isn't that what deadlines are for?

But ideally things should never go past the deadline, the deadlines are just changed (in the worse case)

There are a bunch of tasks that you have assigned me and visa versa that are really overdue.

yeah

haven't been on top of my asana at all

I feel that we should all be responsible for keeping on top of that esp. if we're working async

agreed

I will try to get on top of this after I inbox 0 asana

hope to do it by the end of the week

zrl, so thoughts on hiring my cousin Danielle?

In a trial period where she works for free

zrl

actually you know what

irc isn't based around threads

down to have these somewhere these are thread based

like an asana task or discussion

or somewhere else

cause this gets cut off mid stream

by other random conversations

and then I'll forget that I sent this to you

because it's lost in the stream

zrl thoughts?

any suggestions for a better place that's public?

besides asana?

also, can you tell me more about Danielle?

i'm hesitant to bring on anyone right now because we're so bandwidth-constrained

(cc jonl)

zrl, she has ample writing experience, we can review her writing but an even more accurate way to gauge it is if we asked her to write stuff for us if we needed it?

also she could do the annoying office managing stuff

i see no reason to turn down free help, but i'm _really_ cautious of bringing anyone onto the team

zrl: https://imgur.com/ZHg33dp

PERFECT

SO GOOD

zrl, I was thinking 3 week trial period

also she can do office managery things

i feel somewhat uncomfortable discussing bringing someone onto the team without meeting them, seeing their credentials, or seeing any of their other work

i'm open to free help, i'm really cautious of bringing anyone onto the team though

zrl, yeah I'll compile the things and send them to you

jonl: i'm gonna export "main funders list" and put it into our dropbox

kk

zrl kk

right after i mention you, you can assume that i'm still reading the responses

no need to tag again :-)

zrl: fries upstairs

cool, thanks

zoming atm

zrl do you want dinosaurs?

are you ordering more food? lol

max wants stuff

okok, lol

i'm good, thanks

maxw: what are your thoughts on moving the "Stay in the loop" on the website higher up?

also, how long do you think it'd take to add an advisors section? ideally would have profiles of people that, when hovered over, shows a bio.

We don't have anyone in the email list yet

are you sure? i definitely subscribed myself and i added another guy to it.

zrl: I think we should have a discussion about the utility of it soon

want to have it now?

Sure!

what are your concerns?

Curious, who subd?

can you see from the web interface?

a developer from fullcontact that i met at launch

No major concerns for the website; it takes about 2 minutes to move the div up on the page

> I think we should have a discussion about the utility of it soon

anything you want to address?

I meant we should start thinking about what type of content we want to include

ahhh, gotcha

i thought you were suggesting we remove it

my bad, haha

zrl: oh, sorry. my first few messages weren't very clear

zrl: I'll submit a PR tonight to move the list higher up

what are your thoughts on the advisor section?

zrl maxw: The best times to order from Dinosaurs is:

1:30 - 2pm, 5:30 - 6:30, none after 8

We have Peter's approval

the owner?

Peter is the cousin of the fam

jonl: for watermelon, or everything?

everything

This is our Ein: is 46-0945785

maxw

This is our Ein: is 46-0945785 maxw

👍

Can you take care of the Dashlane?

max

maxw

jonl: yes

maxw: what are your thoughts on the advisors section?

zrl: what is the 'advisors section'?

zrl: I think this should be held off until the rework with benjaminz

how long do you think it'd take to implement?

zrl: this is relavent to some users, but not all

it's relevant to potential funders

and the website is one of the first things they see. i'm thinking that having real people on it may help with legitimacy

shouldn't take long to make, like tonight and a bit of tomorrow to make it look nice

but I'll be working on it tomorrow with ben, and will probably be redoing that part completely differently

zrl: in short, i don't know if it is worth the effort just to have it redone in a day or two

alright, sounds good

jonl: please call me

we are settling this google account bs once and for all

also i need to know where i can get some earplugs

i cannot sleep with kim's music so loud

zrl, can I see you in person?

where are you?

i looked

and i could not find you

jonl: do you have extra earplugs maybe?

on the couch next to maxw

oh lol

zrl: i don't think the email list fits anywhere on the main page

zrl: the current homepage has a ton of chunks that aren't relevant to different types of users, the email list included. This should really be done from scratch.
