* [[Brandon]]: Really enjoying working on SpaceWiki ... could easily put in many hours on it
* [[Shelley]]: Had a really nice day with Sequoia, sore from the triathlon yesterday ... her triad is going to reconvene
* [[Sequoia]]: 10 months old, feels like a big boy
* [[Ben]]: Had ups and downs ... at work made progress on small bugs that make the app look better (icons that aren't fuzzy) ... intermittently worrying about political and environmental stuff

== [[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 ... not happening
** Focus on this in 4th quarter
''No other changes''
== Conferences/Conventions ==
* Space industry
** Looks like we're not doing the [http://leeward.crowdvine.com/ Puerto Rico Space Congress]
* Sci-fi conventions
** Brandon doesn't think those are very fruitful compared to other types ... maybe because they're not about the real world
* Environmental, intentional communities
** [http://www.bioneers.org/conference Bioneers]: San Rafael, CA, October 15th-17th (Friday-Sunday)
*** Maybe just Saturday & Sunday ... Shelley definitely can't do Friday
** Could we invite SolSeed members from more than just the Pacific NW to meet up at one of these, in lieu of a big unconference we organize ourselves?
== Newsletters ==
=== SolSeed August newsletter ===
* Major point for the upcoming Equinox celebration
* Second mural painting at the sponsored neighborhood picnic
* Update on the SolSeed book projects
=== First Eco-Village list message ===
* Get Matthew and Molly to write something?
* Talk about the constitution-like document we've been working on
== Equinox Celebration ==
* Should it be right on the Equinox?
** Shelley: Yes ... otherwise what's the point? ... if it's just me and Brandon, so be it
** Ben: Maybe ... on the other hand, it would be nice to have more participants ... otherwise it doesn't seem all that meaningful
** Brandon: Even if it is Wednesday night, we could probably get Matthew, Molly, Gus, David, some others
* Purpose?
** Shelley: Serving the needs of the people ... whoever comes is the right people ... we can talk about [[The Destiny]], but don't do anything resembling marketing ... be who we say we are first, ''then'' do outreach in a different venue
** Brandon: Bundle it with enough meaningful progress on the backyard cottage to get Ben down here? ... I could drive up to Seattle and pick Ben up
== Backyard Cottage ==
* Brandon talked to neighbors about architects ... don't necessarily have to talk to Chris
* [[ArchitectScorecard]] is a good place to start
** We should make a list of potential architects and evaluate them against it
*** How much can we do without talking to them?
*** Brandon already knows a lot about some nearby architects
** Brandon has used a scorecard to good effect in hiring at work
== SpaceWiki ==
* Ask for sponsorship for the site itself, not so much for events? (since the next one will not be for awhile)
** For the caricatures?
** For the benefit of our work developing the wiki?
* Currently we don't get many hits/day, but a sponsor could help with that by linking to us
* Work on the Events page, which will help determine which event to go to next
** Then we can focus on getting sponsorship for that event
== Book ==
* Do we want poems?
** Brandon says the current [[SolSeed book]] is one book within the "larger book" that will include poems and songs and litanies for services, etc.
