Evangelism
- Brandon is spending $30/day on ads targeted at Portland, Seattle, and Ottawa
- Not sustainable ... planning to reduce the total to $10/day
- World Pantheism Network (http://pantheism.net/ ) has 18,000 fans on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/Pantheism )
- They are kindred
- Can we copy their methods?
- Try to post original content rather than sharing others' content
- Have a standard "signature" at the end of every post
- Can we join their umbrella organization?
Signature ideas
Embrace Science. Cherish the Earth. Bring Life! The SolSeed Movement - A Community of Practice http://SolSeed.org
Is Mother Earth pregnant with a family of living worlds?
- Could this image seem crazy?
- Leave this out for now, think about it some more
- We need an image or metaphor for the giving birth, taking root part that is crazy enough to attract the eye without looking like we're woo-woo Gaian mystics
Topical Community Protocols
- Eric: Eric's topical community protocol
- Ben:
- Current protocol is to post something to the CELSS Facebook group every week
- Could go back to the protocol that includes contacting others who might be interested
- Not sure I want to take on more work; can I count stuff I'm already doing with other groups, even if I don't talk about SolSeed with them?
- How do we overcome our reluctance to be sincere about our beliefs?
- Contact science fiction authors
- Just make a list of people we should contact, with notes about why they're interesting potential allies?
Evaluation
- Ben ... I wish my stom-ache would stop bothering me, it makes it hard to be fully engaged and enthusiastic about anything ... Brandon's new theory for you is "More Sleep"
- Eric ... I feel good about Facebook too, and I feel good about working with you more, I always feel like "why are they going on about 7 minutes over, let's just keep going"
- Brandon ... I feel a lot of desire for there to be more time working together like this ... but not sure where I could fit it in
- Shelley ... I feel good about the facebook stuff ... showing how applicable we are to the modern world
