This [[Sol 2009]] session was convened for the purpose of figuring out where to go next with the [[SolSeedCalls]] and other smaller meetings between the large [[OpenSpace]] events.
=== Participants ===
* [[Brandon CS Sanders]]
* [[Bonnie Sanders]]
* [[Brenna Waxter]]
* [[Regula Frey]]
* [[Ben Sibelman]]
=== Review of conference calls so far ===
* [[Regula]]: Opening words and checkin time = leaving regular life behind and connecting on a heart level before moving into projects (ideas from the humanist movement meetings)
* [[Bonnie]]: Provided continuity of group even though not everyone was present on every call
** Helped get to know people at a deep level
** [[Brenna]], [[Regula]]: Women especially need to connect at a heart level
** But this ideal shouldn't come at the expense of having another purpose
=== Ideas for the future ===
* [[Brenna]]: We could recruit people to build small local groups that meet in person
** When one gets too big, have one person split off and start a new group?
** [[Regula]]: Similar to the humanist movement in Africa
*** But should use the term "invite" rather than "recruit"
* Each person can try to form a local group and bring that experience back to the call
* '''Specific ideas for call'''
** Just one topic per call
** Move more practical stuff to a once-a-month business call
** Do longer checkins after unconference to discuss how we experienced it
