[chadwhitacre]

What are you working on this week and why?

last week

[chadwhitacre]

Roadmap (what?)

Short Term

Embarrassments:

• can't edit teams (Team Basics)
• not using immutable ids (use id as primary key instead of username gratipay.com#835)
• widgets are broken (Radar 31 #389 (comment))
• escrow imprecision (Radar 31 #389 (comment))
• Security 9 (Radar 31 #389 (comment))
• no payroll! bring back take-what-you-want gratipay.com#3433

Long Term

Color code:

• red—external forces that we're under
• yellow—administration
• green—product development
• orange—marketing
• blue—capitalization

Picking up from @kzisme at #425 (comment) ...

Random question - (I'm not sure if it's worth sending @whit537 an email)

How do you all list OSS contributions on your resume? Normally when I say I'm interested in OSS people say "Oh yeah! I use this "insert large OSS project here" but I don't contribute to it"

What constitutes a contribution? I'm a software developer - but I haven't contributed much code to Gratipay...yet so I would feel bad mentioning it under "contributions"

[chadwhitacre]

@kzisme I would say honesty is the best policy. You run Twitter for Gratipay ... that's not nothing. As far as contributions go, should we reopen #253 and find you a good ticket to work on? :-)

[mattbk]

Maybe editing teams? I assume that would be fairly straightforward for someone who understands Python? (That's okay if it's not; I'm a PHP guy, so making forms to me is "doable" yet tedious.)

[chadwhitacre]

I like this idea of posting tested versions in the changelog:

https://github.com/marceljuenemann/angular-drag-and-drop-lists/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#130-2015-08-20

We should do that for our libraries (aspen, postgres.py, etc.).

[chadwhitacre]

Having to use Gulp over on https://github.com/saxifrage/cityasacampus makes me glad we don't have to use it over here. Our asset system is much less brittle. !m us :-)

[kzisme]

@whit537 I work Wednesday and I have a study session after I work. (These next two weeks are hectic) since finals and such.

I wouldn't be opposed to reopening that and working on something concrete - I'm also still refreshing myself on Python.

[chadwhitacre]

Call with Nathan Schneider (#399) at 1pm EST today.

[kzisme]

Here is the status

[chadwhitacre]

Thanks @kzisme! Don't forget we talked about #platformcoop as well! :-)

[chadwhitacre]

Diving in on payday ... #433.

[kzisme]

Will include that :) I wasn't able to tune in live but will watch it today

[chadwhitacre]

Thanks! :-)

[kzisme]

Awesome call - great conversation !m @whit537

Just have to do 'More good than harm' 😄

[chadwhitacre]

O.o

[kzisme]

Huh? 😮

[chadwhitacre]

I mean: Yeah! Can't believe I said that. 😳 Faux pas! 🐑

[kzisme]

Still a great conversation none the less! 💯

[chadwhitacre]

Currently changing my dev environment a bit - I was poking around to see if I could find your .bashrc or anything around with an example $PS1 prompt but was unable to. Do you have this published anywhere @whit537 ?

(sorry for off topic comment)

[chadwhitacre]

Nothing is off-topic on the Radar! 💃

I have the plainest of prompts, I'm afraid:

export PS1='$ ' 

Here's my whole .bashrc.

Hence the brutal hierarchies and old school power structures that govern Wikipedia.

When I copy from Vim in a Terminal window on Mac OS, I often end up with trailing whitespace. Here's a magic bullet to trim trailing whitespace from the contents of the clipboard on Mac OS:

pbpaste | sed -e 's/ *$//' | pbcopy

Now, Mr. Kahle is giving up on his dream of creating a new kind of bank, one for social good rather than profit. He hopes to give the credit union charter to a nonprofit organization in New Jersey that can make use of it — or give it up.

Looks like I'm starting a new contract this week, so I will have less availability than usual for Gratipay this week.
