We are waiting for the last guy. Sorry I've not mastered you guyz name.

Okunlola I also want to believe you've read a number of the previous newsletter from the archives.

kelvinsekx commented 2 years ago

If you've got any tech gist or something trending and it's tech-ish you can simply share them here.

okunlolafz commented 2 years ago

Alright! I will be sure to do that.

And yes, I've read a couple of the previous newsletters.

kelvinsekx commented 2 years ago

Thanks. We couldn't send newsletter today until next week Friday.

However, on Monday we would send a newsletter telling everyone about the new changes to team and those who will be writing it henceforth.

And then on Friday we will send the first newsletter after a long time.

kelvinsekx commented 2 years ago

Please provide a short introduction of yourself not more than 30 words that would be used on the introduction newsletter on Monday.

kelvinsekx commented 2 years ago

Unfortunately today's call couldn't hold due to clashes in times.

kelvinsekx commented 2 years ago

I'll highlight what I intended to talk about

  1. We should learn to acknowledge when we read a message. A simple emoji reaction is enough.
  2. We should always try to reply any message addressed to us with 24hrs. If it is something that requires an action that can't be achieved in the said time, let us know when you would reply.

Noted with thanks!

I just wrote a bare bone of today's newsletter. It is intended to introduce the fresh faces to our subscribers https://github.com/kelvinsekx/IBTC-html-template/blob/2-write-introduction-template-for-monday-5th-september-2022/MondayEmergencyEdition.md

Have a read, make corrections if you have any, I'll be posting this newsletter by 5pm.

EarlPappi commented 2 years ago

I read through this and it’s great, I’ll give it another read to check for typo tho 🌚

okunlolafz commented 2 years ago

It's great!

kelvinsekx commented 2 years ago

Congratulations 🎉 on our Monday newsletter, more or less not a newsletter.

Friday is another day. Please if there is any tech gist you, please share us the link.

Also, what aspect of the newsletter you would love to write?

kelvinsekx commented 2 years ago

No one responded to my last comment. Do you guyz really think you are interested in this newsletter?

If you've all got something important and can't spare some minutes of your time. Please let me.

kelvinsekx commented 2 years ago

It isn't funny that even with 3 hands, it as if we still have one person, myself in charge.

If I don't get a response in 24hrs to this comment though, I'll regard it as a conclusion of unavailability, and revert the newsletter authors.

Best regards.

EarlPappi commented 2 years ago

I still haven’t gotten the hang of how things will be, so I’m currently just observing

I’ll suggest you assign task as I’m honestly currently clueless on what to do

okunlolafz commented 2 years ago

Well, I've got something on the recent US implementations against China. Biden has just barred US Tech companies receiving federal funds from building advanced technology facilities in china for the next 10 years. That was said to be a move to reduce leading edge technology investments and reliance on China. Just last month, the US president committed $280bn to higher tech manufacturing & scientific research due to the fear of losing the tech edge to China.

I can write up a full story on this before Thursday. But just like he said, I'm don't know what next to do and I think the idea of setting tasks (accompanied with deadline) will work fine with me.

kelvinsekx commented 2 years ago

Okay I'll assign tasks tomorrow. Also whatever story you write, it has to be short and with some links.

okunlolafz commented 2 years ago

Yeah! Got it

kelvinsekx commented 2 years ago

I just created some issues you can pickup. Tomorrow I'll be closing this issue to create another chat issue for the week.

okunlolafz commented 2 years ago

Talk of national insecurities among tech-giant countries! Why is the United States always troubled when it comes to technology race against China? Last month, $280bn was committed to high tech manufacturing and scientific research by the US President just because of the fear of losing technological edge to China. Statistics says from 1990 up till now, the US global supply of semiconductors went from nearly 40% all the way down to 10%. Semiconductors being the key ingredients to manufacturing products ranging from mobile phones to cars. Like this was not enough, the US has just made more implementations to reduce leading edge technological investments and reliance on China. “US tech companies that receive federal funding will be barred from building "advanced technology" facilities in China for 10 years”, the Biden administration has said.”
