TOWNMEETING 12/23 8pm
21:06:34 | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: Thank you all again for the support and I will take any questions about the cloud.
21:06:34 | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: Less green on this side needed
21:06:34 | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: some red people>>>
21:06:34 | Polly: peenk<react>
21:06:34 | Juliet: haha
21:06:40 | PetMePlease: would this money be needed every year? or just to get this Cloud rolling ?
21:06:40 | Happy Tobe Here: when is the move ?
21:07:11 | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: The cloud development fund is monthly until it’s live yes.
21:07:17 | PetMePlease: Ok
21:07:32 | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: At the current speed i would estimate 2 years
21:07:37 | PetMePlease: tell us how much and Im sure some can do it <shrug>
21:08:03 | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: It’s https:_www_gofundme_com/f/spva3-community-support-initiative Pet
21:08:03 | Polly: youre good, heidia<grin>
21:08:08 | Heidia: sorry ty
21:08:29 | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: So the summary point was…
21:08:34 | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: If any of the donors would prefer not to have this and would rather have their contribution converted to, please let me know and Il sort that for you.
21:08:34 | Heidia: LOL
21:08:55 | Juliet: Can’t miss Heidia
21:09:05 | Juliet: Cute
21:09:05 | Happy Tobe Here: ikr
21:09:05 | Heidia: yeah lol
21:09:11 | Happy Tobe Here: what a grand idea
21:09:11 | Heidia: u all shush
21:09:16 | Polly: wasnt me<react>
21:09:21 | Suzie: lol
21:09:26 | Morning Glory: uh huh
21:09:52 | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: Any other questions on what was said today about the cloud?
21:10:02 | Poody Cat: so where does everyone go give?
21:10:07 | Kimmie D: I guess I was late to the party
21:10:13 | Kimmie D: Can you summarize
21:10:18 | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: i will repeat yeah sure
21:10:23 | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: We reached 72% of the goal, which is genuinely amazing, even though we didn quite reach the full amount. The funds have already been allocated to cloud development work for January.
21:10:28 | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: For me to permanently stop splitting my time and commit those 80 hours every month, we would need the recurring goal to be consistently met. At this stage, that isn something wee able to guarantee.
21:10:39 | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: ecause the goal wasn met, Il continue as normal with my consulting work starting in February and the funding of the cloud work will continue as normal.
21:10:44 | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: For January, Il still put in the additional 80 hours so everyone can get a real preview of what that extra time looks like for VZones.
21:10:49 | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: If any of the donors would prefer not to have this and would rather have their contribution converted to, please let me know and Il sort that for you.
21:10:59 | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: I plan to host a full/regular world meeting at the start of January.
21:11:05 | Happy Tobe Here: so you need us to vote on that ?
21:11:15 | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: Nothing to vote on
21:11:20 | Gracie: Is there any way you can get investors involved or is that something you are not keen on?
21:11:20 | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: It was just a quick update
21:11:26 | LiL ChAzZ: I was wondering, what would preview entail?
21:11:41 | Happy Tobe Here: that was the 2 yr goal
21:11:46 | Emm: can i ask a tech question?
21:11:46 | Kimmie D: So my donation is automatically a monthly donation?
21:12:02 | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: Investors would only come on if VZones can scale but it can’t scale until it’s not reliant on the 90s hardware which is what we are working to change.
21:12:02 | Happy Tobe Here: just one time
21:12:07 | Poody Cat: are we all donors?
21:12:12 | PetMePlease: Mine too? I cant do that much a month
21:12:18 | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: Any donation made for January is a one off and won’t be repeated.
21:12:49 | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: No it’s a one off which can be delivered as gold if you would prefer.
21:13:09 | PetMePlease: what about the last one I made? will that auto taken?
21:13:20 | Poody Cat: so are the memberships a month or year are going up? is that correct
21:13:20 | Happy Tobe Here: but then you worked for in jan for free?
21:13:25 | Emm: is the back-end fully rewritten?
21:13:25 | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: It’s not recurring so if you made one it’s just taken already and a one off.
21:13:25 | Happy Tobe Here: if we take it back as gold
21:13:54 | PetMePlease: I will do $100 a month
21:13:54 | LiL ChAzZ: so how much more do you need?
21:13:54 | Poody Cat: made one of what donation
21:13:59 | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: Happy that’s correct but I offered at the start if the goal was not going to be met each month to convert it to gold.
21:14:35 | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: Pet we can’t continue with the cloud fund as we won’t make the goal each month. So i will continue paying the dev fees from February.
21:14:51 | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: Which is why i offered the conversion to gold at the start if anyone wanted.
21:14:51 | K’vak: So will you have a new gofundme page for monthly past January?
21:14:56 | PetMePlease: Ok
21:14:56 | Happy Tobe Here: so when canm this be revisted again? 6months?
21:15:06 | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: No we won’t do it moving forward because we won’t meet the goal each month.
21:15:22 | Happy Tobe Here: ok ill take the gold then <present>
21:15:37 | Happy Tobe Here: was a good try
21:15:42 | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: @happy will sort
21:15:48 | Happy Tobe Here: ty
21:16:03 | PetMePlease: what does the monies in there now do for this month?
21:16:08 | Gracie: Exactly how much were you looking for each month?
21:16:14 | Happy Tobe Here: 2k
21:16:19 | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: It’s all gone to dev for January
21:16:19 | Happy Tobe Here: we ran short
21:16:29 | PetMePlease: Ok <grin>
21:16:39 | Happy Tobe Here: too bad i thought we had in the bag
21:16:45 | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: I’ve made up the difference, will do the additional 80 hours in Jan but then Feb I will go back to my normal hours.
21:16:45 | Poody Cat: my bill for December went up 5 dollar
21:16:55 | Happy Tobe Here: but the donations just stopped
21:17:11 | LiL ChAzZ: December is an expensive month <shrug>
21:17:36 | Poody Cat: right
21:17:42 | Poody Cat: ????
21:17:47 | Poody Cat: lol
21:17:47 | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: Yeah true chazz, i just have to sign contract to do my consulting which is why i can’t be in a position to start/stop it
21:17:57 | LiL ChAzZ: ok
21:18:02 | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: That’s why from Feb everything will continue as normal
21:18:23 | Happy Tobe Here: how long is your contract for?
21:18:28 | Happy Tobe Here: 1 yr?
21:18:28 | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: yep
21:18:38 | Happy Tobe Here: so we could try again ina yr?
21:18:59 | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: Yeah…if we have any major updates on the cloud before then i will of course update you.
21:19:21 | Poody Cat: yea because you cant just up the memberships and then take them back down
21:19:21 | Gracie: How much in total do you need to put all the stuff on the cloud?
21:19:26 | Happy Tobe Here: off topic…i think Mir got hurt in the moving
21:19:36 | Happy Tobe Here: she dont look right lol
21:19:42 | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: I’ve been paying personally ?500 a month for years now towards the cloud.
21:20:23 | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: Partly why it’s slow because it’s a lot of money but it’s not compared to what developement costs for code conversion to the cloud.
21:20:33 | Gracie: that at the end of the day is not sustainable
21:20:54 | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: The old hardware is not sustainable which is why we are doing it
21:21:09 | Gracie: I understand that
21:21:15 | LiL ChAzZ: at this current rate of UK dollars to US dollar is 2024.63
21:21:30 | Emm: it is not
21:21:40 | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: more i would think
21:21:46 | Gracie: hene my asking if you couldn’t get investors but understand your reply
21:21:51 | Gracie: hence even
21:22:01 | Emm: 1 GBP is US$1.35
21:22:22 | Happy Tobe Here: high Lyl<wave>
21:22:27 | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: It’s too risky for outside investor when we are reliant on 90’s hardware which is becoming harder and harder to get.
21:22:37 | Gracie: Really you need a major injection of cash
21:22:48 | Emm: so your plan is to rewrite the back-end to a new platform and to a database conversion?
21:22:48 | Gracie: I appreciate that Andy
21:22:53 | K’vak: So are you taking down the gofundme page, Andy? There may still be folks who want to add to it.
21:22:53 | Happy Tobe Here: evryne got your lotto tics for trmw night
21:22:58 | Happy Tobe Here: 1.7b
21:23:03 | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: yeah we have been doing it slowly for a few years bit by bit
21:23:24 | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: At the month end I will take it down yep
21:23:39 | Emm: ill hook up later
21:24:00 | Acolyte Cosmic Andy: You won’t see any difference in February so do not worry.
