Hi All, I have sent preliminary emails to potential host organizations including:
Stone Barns Center
Wholesome Wave
Leopold Center
The Food Trust
There may also be some opportunities through research grants like SARE, which if I have the time I may be able to look into.
Also, @CynthiaReynolds I will let you know when that email bug seems to be worked out on my end. Ill keep checking.
+Hi Nick- wanted to let you know im still working toward a firebase -angular4 and firebase-react modular solution. I have some new code that seems to do well as a starting point- I’m using https://github.com/localfoodsupply for my public open source code repositories. Collaboration for the Colorado area welcomed, the US has a unique opportunty now that Door to Door organics just closed up shop. Vacancy in the market…
Hi @NorthernColorado thanks for the update Greg. Yes it would be good to look at how we can help in Colorado. Do you want to set up a test enterprise in Colorado here and see how it compares to your solution Welcome to Open Food Network USA
Hi all - on the last OFN - US call we discussed the issue of adapting weights and measures for the US instance. Specifically, I said I thought it was possible for the US to use pounds, ounces… But we weren’t sure. So - I just came across this note from @sstead in regard to a recent release. Is this what you folks in the US need? @CynthiaReynolds@NickWeir@KatTheFarmer@jveilleux What’s New? - v.1.8.1 (160618)
Thanks @tschumilas for finding this. @sstead@pmackay (I saw you both on this github issue… any idea as to how we implement this on the US instance? Does it directly co-relate to locale automatically bringing in the correct weights and measures?
That issue G#1018 leads further to a heap of PR’s and issues concerning localization of weight label. This could be the right time to try and cleanup all these
The first thing we could do as stakeholders is to add our github label to each of those PR’s and issues. @KatTheFarmer I added a us label for you. I can add it to each related issue if you don’t have the rights yet.
The next thing would be to fund the development of it. Maybe we could squeeze this through OFN CC funds @Kirsten?
@MikeiLL I see that you did some work on this issue - thank you. Do you have any suggestions for moving it forward? It looks like it has been merged. Is this just a Transifex translation issue? Thanks
@jveilleux you mentioned on one of the calls that you did some work to get your white-labelled version to use the correct weights and measures, any chance you can help us out on the OFN US server?
Hey all, congratulations on launching the OFN US instance. I’ve been playing around with setting up a store for the farm; there’s a couple of big ticket items some of our folks here are going to need to give up Shopify/Wix and are probably worthy of adding to the backlog:
Integration with Square or Stripe for payments
Real time shipping from USPS at a minimum
U.S. measures for product (i.e. pounds)
The site looks great and I’m loving the concept. Please keep up the great work!
Very much agreed about the Square integration, that would be huge for the US producers already online with that technology and not wanting to jump ship and re learn too much at once!
@NickWeir I am up to my eyebrows right now with the EU H2020 funding application - will not be able to do it before mid-feb. @sigmundpetersen any chance you might have some time?
