== [[OnePagePlan]] ==
=== Goals (1 Year) ===
* Income run rate of $100,000/year (~$9000/month) -- Brandon is really worried about that
** Need to incorporate a business
** September 2 is the closing deadline for this year's SBIR application process ... seems unrealistic, but barely possible if Brandon takes some time off work
* Place: Ownership of a site by Winter Solstice 2010
* Media: Publish 2 SolSeed books, a 6-minute video (and write script for a 15-minute one), and a great website -- Ben
** Used to say we would finish the 15-minute video ... Brandon agrees this is a good recalibration
** Website: front page looks cooler, but need to work on it more next quarter
* Spiritual Community: Regular, impactful ceremonies led by multiple people -- Shelley
** Next service will be on the Equinox, seed topic: Freedom from Judgement
== Neighborhood picnic ==
* 300-400 people came through
* Mural went well ... not specifically SolSeed, just a Buckman-related mural
* Didn't talk about SolSeed at all ... just supporting the neighborhood
** Our name did appear on the newsletter
== Backyard Cottage ==
=== EcoVillage Draft (from Shelley and Brandon conversation) ===
==== Who owns what? ====
* Condo model
** EcoVillage owns all property and outside grounds
** Occupants own living space from the inside paint inward
* EcoVillage has the first right of refusal on any sale of a living space
* Upon expulsion, EcoVillage must buy living space back at a fair market value
** In case of disagreement, value is determined by an independent 3rd party agreed to by both EcoVillage and current occupant with cost split between them
==== How are decisions made? ====
* By consensus of the community
** If this isn't resolving, then appeal to a vote of the board of directors
* Board is elected by full members according to bylaws
** At first, we'll be so small that everyone can be a board member
** Size should max out at 5-7
==== Who is eligible to join? ====
* Offsite trial period (path to membership)?
** Have them live nearby at first, in rental housing?
** Trillium Hollow model
* Onsite: provisional membership for first year, full membership thereafter
* Each family must include 1 SolSeed member in good standing
* Until the eco-village includes 6 family units, all new family units must be accepted by full consensus of all EcoVillage members
=== Next steps ===
==== Building the Cottage ====
* Molly and Matthew have a tour of little cottages set up for Brandon and Shelley ... take the tour
* Hire an architect for concept plans
** Create a scorecard for our architect
*** Create [[ArchitectScorecard]] page, fill in to best of ability
*** Talk to Chris, ask questions, probe for considerations
==== Forming the Organization ====
* Talk to Trillium Hollow (Charles)
* Talk to Daybreak (Ted to arrange)
* Study other existing intentional communities
* Create an organization (probably an LLC) and give it some financial resources
* Sell the land and exterior of the existing house to said organization
== SpaceWiki ==
* Sponsorship-campaign packet (quotes, photos, etc) is in progress
** http://spacewiki.com/Quotes
* Need to ask people to try to keep the irreverent tone instead of copying dry prose from Wikipedia
== Book ==
* Ben added 130 words to the "Orbiting Mini-Worlds" section
* Brandon had writer's block
== WWWs ==
* Shelley ... contact Mark about doing opening words at the next service ... by next call
* Brandon ... leave a grateful and inspiring comment on both blogs where SpaceWiki was mentioned ... by Thursday night
* Brandon ... setup time to talk to Chris about [[ArchitectScorecard]] ... by Saturday
* Ben ... start on the [[ArchitectScorecard]] page ... by Saturday
* Ben ... tend the SpaceWiki.com community (2 comments at least) ... by next call
* Ben ... add to Brandon's comments ... by next call
* Ben ... add up all the words for the book that we've added this quarter ... by next call
