Alright, top priority is getting refunds out the door. We're really getting clogged up on Security, L2 Support and Pivot issues.

[chadwhitacre]

I finally ordered Traction.

@mattbk I'm confused by that Tweet as well I haven't been around to be able to reply yet. It was my understanding that tweeting about the refund and everything else we've done was "notifying users"

I've been busy with classes and such but I've been working on some smaller things as well as setting up vim and my dev stuff on my mac...slowly getting there.

[chadwhitacre]

We (I) didn't move money to Balanced in time, so we're not going to be able to pull off the big 1.0 refund (gratipay/gratipay.com#3539) after all. I'm looking at the advances refund: gratipay/gratipay.com#3763.

[mattbk]

Support 0
L2 Support 4

[mattbk]

@kzisme No need to reply to it just because I called it out. I thought we had emailed everyone about the refund already.

[chadwhitacre]

Great post on "What makes a good community?"

[kzisme]

@mattbk that's what I thought as well. We had a discussion about getting in
contact with all users.

We published the blog post and linked it from the website and Twitter, but we never got around to mass-emailing everyone again. We mass-emailed people months ago when we first announced our intention to do the refunds. We actually had a handful of people complain at the time that we were spamming them, and no doubt we would've again in this case. Always gonna find some someone to disappoint, I guess. :-)

[chadwhitacre]

The reality is starting to sink in over here that we're not doing the 1.0 refunds after all. I believe instead that means that we're going to be holding onto that money indefinitely, until such time as folks bother to withdraw it. We should post about this on Monday.

[chadwhitacre]

Finished up payday: #365.

[chadwhitacre]

I made an Accounting label in this repo.

Re: #345 (comment) ...

Ratio of active teams to total approved teams is 58/91 (64%). Ideally we'd want this as close to 100% as possible.

Currently running at 100%! ;-)

[chadwhitacre]

Contracting today. Hoping to run the advances refund this afternoon (tonight after I get home if I can't get to it this afternoon): gratipay/gratipay.com#3810.

[chadwhitacre]

Alright! Let's see about this ...

[chadwhitacre]

First PR landed from @yifeiwu! 💃

gratipay/gratipay.com#3772

[kzisme]

I apologize for the lack of Twitter posts this week. Any suggestions on material for the weekend?

Also if possible I would like to get into more code based work as well if there are small things or things someone and I could work together on (if at all possible).

[chadwhitacre]

@kzisme No worries! Maybe promoting recently-joined teams? Maybe start talking about #334?

I know @mattbk has been making some tickets lately, maybe he has some suggestions for code to work on?

[mattbk]

I think one of my prs has a review tag on it. There's at least one easy pr in my recent tickets (can't check right now).

[kzisme]

Could you link it when you get a chance and I'll take a look? :)

Also - @whit537 refunding advances has been done correct - BUT not our 1.0 refund right?

I'm trying to figure out what this tweet was about.

Twitter is slightly irritating because it's like shouting across a busy street to someone and expecting them to hear your full thought...

Indeed. In the past, Twitter has worked best for me as a way to guide people into the right GitHub ticket. Plenty of times there is no good ticket yet and you should make one.

[chadwhitacre]

Correct. I'm hoping to write up a blog post today explaining the situation.

[chadwhitacre]

Gonna close out here and pick up on #368 ...
