==Where we are now== * We just had our first small ceremony gathering in Portland, part of the "Spiritual Community" ==Where we're going== Here are the 2010 goals from our One-Page Plan, with the names of people who will drive the work for each: * Spiritual Community: Regular, impactful ceremonies in Portland, led by multiple people -- [[Shelley]] * Income run rate of $100,000/year (~$9000/month) by year's end -- [[Brandon]] * Place: Ownership of a site for the nucleus of a SolSeed Village by Winter Solstice 2010 -- [[Mark]] * Media: Publish two SolSeed books, a 15-minute video, and a great website -- [[Ben]] And here are the 3-year targets: * Place: We can point to a SolSeed village * Resources: Yearly budget is $1 million * Industry: We are making money from something core to launching life to another world, eventually another star system :o What discipline? (rocketry, power beaming, biotech, water filtration, server farms in space?) :o Can it support people with reasonable confidence? :o Win prizes, Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) grants, possibly some venture capital? * Vision: Our vision is clearly articulated in all core media :o Website, books, videos, events, Facebook page :o Possibly a blog and/or other Web 2.0 madness?
