[chadwhitacre]

Any chance we can get gratipay/gratipay.com#4193 and gratipay/gratipay.com#4127 merged as well, @rohitpaulk? 🐻

[chadwhitacre]

For whatever reason (something under #884 (comment)) the 2007 tag was stuck on gratipay/gratipay.com@4b8bd77 instead of gratipay/gratipay.com@65df931. The latter is what is actually deployed at Heroku and is an ancestor of the current master, so I've updated the 2007 tag to point there.

[chadwhitacre]

I'm deploying to pick up gratipay/gratipay.com#4197 and gratipay/gratipay.com#4192, and to test Transifex for #616 (comment).

Gosh we have a lot to do.

I changed Gratipay's Instagram bio from "Lovable cockroach from Pittsburgh." to "Gratitude? Gratipay! We help companies sustain the open source ecosystem they depend on."

I just took a pass through http://inside.gratipay.com/ and fixed some easy stuff. The following docs are pretty badly out of date and basically need a rewrite:

http://inside.gratipay.com/big-picture/sa/
http://inside.gratipay.com/howto/label-github-issues
http://inside.gratipay.com/howto/manage-queues
http://inside.gratipay.com/howto/run-a-script (invoke? really?)
http://inside.gratipay.com/howto/sweep-the-radar
http://inside.gratipay.com/appendices/tools
http://inside.gratipay.com/appendices/survey
http://inside.gratipay.com/appendices/access

Pipedrive mail seems borked. I had to drop to straight Gmail for #637 (comment). I disconnected and reconnected, even. Monitoring ...

[chadwhitacre]

Deployed gratipay/gratipay.com#4200.

 * [new tag]         2009 -> 2009
$ curl https://gratipay.com/version.txt
2009
$

We should add that to release.sh.

[chadwhitacre]

Proximately motivated by #867 (comment) and #637 (comment), I've reached out in private email to a contact who is a leader in tech diversity:

The tl;dr over here is that Gittip crashed and burned about a year and a half ago, and we're now starting to regain some momentum as Gratipay. The reason I'm writing is because I want us to be intentional about diversity from the start this time around, and, to be honest, I need help.

Would you be willing and able to spare time for a phone call to help put us on the right track?

Should we set up a Slack?

[chadwhitacre]

I'm about (I hope) to make a mess of changes to the Big Picture section of http://inside.gratipay.com/. I'm gonna go for it, and if you see anything you don't like just speak up, eh? Thank you. 🙇

[chadwhitacre]

I just called and left a message for Black Girls Code about partnering together.

[rohitpaulk]

Should we set up a Slack?

Yes!!

[chadwhitacre]

https://gratipay.slack.com/

Invites sent! 😮

Wanna set up slackin?

[chadwhitacre]

It's probably time for us to set up a Slack. Is it time for us to set up a Slack?

https://twitter.com/Gratipay/status/801390319677898753

[chadwhitacre]

Reticketed Slack as #913.

[chadwhitacre]

We need a blog post. I'm thinking maybe something like "Four Great Options" about how the field has changed since we started four years ago.

[rohitpaulk]

Wanna set up slackin?

Done!

[chadwhitacre]

😃

Well, want to rewrite it in your own voice? I feel bad for jumping the gun now! 😞

[chadwhitacre]

I am thinking about deleting my version, so that we have no choice but to start over. :-)

[chadwhitacre]

In other news: deploying gratipay/gratipay.com#4193.

[chadwhitacre]

Done. 👍

[chadwhitacre]

I am thinking about deleting my version

Deleted! Let's hear what you have to say, @jdorfman. ❤️ ☺️

[mattbk]

!m everyone. So much going on!

[jdorfman]

@whit537 no! Your article was great. I want to share it. I just need to come up with something else. Please put yours back up. Great minds think alike ;)

[chadwhitacre]

Deploying gratipay/gratipay.com#3975, taking a backup in Heroku first ...

[chadwhitacre]

@jdorfman Okay, okay … I will reconstruct it. ☺️

[chadwhitacre]

2011 deployed! Site is still standing, and the reconciliation dashboard is now online!

!m @kaguillera 💃

[chadwhitacre]

Mayday.

[chadwhitacre]

Question is whether that's a one-off during the update, or a sign of persistent corruption.

I've marked it resolved, let's see if it recurs.

[chadwhitacre]

Regression. 😞

[chadwhitacre]

Published!

"Seven Ways to Crowdfund Your Open Source Project"

[chadwhitacre]

Regression.

Got it. We were depending on status is null in the checker.

[chadwhitacre]

PR in gratipay/gratipay.com#4204. 👍

[chadwhitacre]

I just deployed version 2012 using gratipay/gratipay.com#4202. 2012 was the year we launched! ☺️

Have a great Thanksgiving (U.S.), @gratipay! Thanks for being an awesome and fun team to work with! Eat some turkey or maybe something else yummy. 🍗 🇺🇸

[kaguillera]

Same to you. Many Happy returns.!!

Alright! We have to compete. Openness is not a competitive advantage, or barely so. We already compete on price. We also have to compete on features and product excellence. Diving into gratipay/gratipay.com#4148 ... after I top up #637.

The only thing I want in life is to email Andrew back and say, "Ready to go!"
