== Homework ==
* [[Ben]]: Has rough versions of [[SolSeedVillage]] images
** Will upload them for [[Brandon]] to look at later
* [[Brandon]]: Has worked on the banner designs for OryCon
** "SolSeed" with Blue Marble and sun
** "Bringing Life" with village, water project, environmental concepts
** "Even Unto the Galaxy" with life-ship
** Still needs permission to use sci-fi artists' images
== OryCon ==
* Goal: Introduce [[SolSeed]] to wider public, especially people with a natural affinity for [[starfarers|starfaring]], without looking crazy/scary
* Ways people can get involved:
** Founding the village
** [[Solstice2009]]
** Triads
** Book group
** Editing the wiki
** Helping at Norwescon
** [[SolSeed book]]
** Water project
** Starting a company related to [[TheDestiny]]
== Scorecard for Architects ==
* How do we want to build it?
** LEED Platinum is one criterion
*** Or if we want to be really ambitious, "Living buildings?"
** Sustainability in general
** Retro-futuristic/technologically exuberant design (for half the village?)
** Organic and natural look (for other half?)
* What should the architects be like?
** Architecture firm needs to be small enough that we matter to them
** Should have done green building before
** Shouldn't be scared off by our ambition
* What do we want to build
** Workshops
** Meeting spaces
*** Sanctuary (more spiritually oriented)
*** Fellowship hall? Multipurpose room? (more prosaic/work-oriented)
** Living space
*** Some cohousing
*** Some dorm-style spaces for people who are volunteering for room and board
** Gardens
*** Mainly food-producing
** Wastewater/runoff reclamation
** Outdoor meeting area/plaza
*** Including place for big bonfires
== Solstice event ==
* Name brainstorming
** Winterseed
** Winter Solstice
** Longest Night Festival (Sounds good!)
== Next steps ==
* [[Brandon]]: Getting banners printed
* [[Shelley]]: Work on the second banner
* [[Brandon]]: Follow up with the fan table guy
* [[Shelley]]: Write invitation for [[Longest Night Festival]]
* [[Ben]]: Make trifold
* [[Ben]]: Work more on village images (possibly to integrate into second banner)
== Agenda for next time ==
