AlanBellis it good practice to put a link to the logs in the /topic?11:07
AlanBellalthough the topic is a bit link-heavy :-)11:07
czajkowskiAlanBell: some channels do others don't11:08
czajkowskiI don't mind11:08
czajkowski:)11:08
AlanBellI kind of like it in the -uk topic11:08
czajkowskiyes, but yer a noisey bunch11:09
AlanBelltrue11:09
AlanBellnot quiet and refined like our friends to the west :-)11:10
dholbachwe could put all the links in the header of the NGO wiki page11:13
czajkowskioh nice idea11:15
AlanBellI am not that bothered either way to be honest, I was just curious about the IRC etiquette of it. I am a bit of a newcommer to IRC11:15
czajkowskiAlanBell: I only got the channel logged in the last week or so11:16
czajkowskijust so folks could read if stuff happens in here and don't run screen sessions or don't use irc11:16
AlanBelllogging is a good idea11:16
czajkowskiAlanBell: what was that payroll software you mentioned that ran on linux ?12:57
AlanBellpayroll is a tricky one12:58
AlanBellI use gnucash and payroll is a bit manual and a bit casual12:58
AlanBellthere is a plan to add a payroll module to openerp12:59
czajkowskiAlanBell: oculd you put this on the wiki somewhere?12:59
czajkowski/NGO/resouces/Payroll?12:59
czajkowskisave me asking and I'm sure others would be interested?12:59
AlanBellmost people of a certain size outsource their payroll and just treat the payroll supplier as a regular supplier that bills them 12 invoices per year12:59
czajkowskibut for contractors adn small companies..13:00
AlanBellwell what I do is transfer money from the company account to my account13:00
AlanBellmy accountant gives me 12 payslips at the start of each year13:01
AlanBelland it just goes in gnucash as a transaction and I set up an account like a cost code for each of us13:01
AlanBellwhat is NGO about it?13:02
AlanBellI would have thought that the smaller NGOs would be staffed by volunteers and would not run payroll13:02
AlanBelland do all the national insurance stuff that goes with it13:03
AlanBelljust pay expenses13:03
czajkowskinope all use a form of a payroll13:03
czajkowskiplus I was also interested as read about it elsewhere and looking for an oss solution13:03
czajkowskiAlanBell: is that the same as quickbooks?13:04
AlanBellI believe gnucash and quickbooks are in the same ballpark13:04
AlanBellbut I have never seen quickbooks13:05
AlanBelland google gears has broken my firefox so I can't even look it up :-(13:06
czajkowskihmm13:06
czajkowskiok13:06
AlanBellok, fixed. Quickbooks would appear to be somewhat similar to gnucash13:14
czajkowskinods13:44
mhall119|workfrom what little quickbooks exposure I've had, gnucash seems very similar14:02
czajkowskiaye14:04
AlanBellI am happy to do something about accountancy and payroll and suchlike, but I don't know how I would put an NGO spin on it15:41
czajkowskiAlanBell: well just from an oss slant15:42
czajkowskion the wiki page15:42
czajkowskiso we can reference it15:42
AlanBellthat I can do, I will have a think about it and do something15:43
AlanBellpossibly over christmas15:43
czajkowskiokie dokie15:47
