*** [[Sol 2009]]: Who are we? As Life, as individuals on a spiritual journey, and as members and friends of the [[SolSeed Movement]]?
*** The first [[Longest Night Festival]]: Who are we becoming? What are we doing next?
** Why community?
** Starting with Space and working back to here and now ... what do we want for community?
** If you could build any living situation (community or otherwise) for yourself ... what would you build?
** What community do we want to build? on Earth and in space?
** How much Space do we need for our community?
** How do we make Space for community in our lives?
** Can community feel Space-ious?
** Is there Space for community in your life?
** What Space have you cleared for community in your life?
** Space for community in your life?
** What if your community were a spaceship?
** Living together in one space?

== [[Happy in the Sun]] ==
* First copy of the book is on its way
** Missing two pages
** Probably needs higher-resolution images
== Consensus polls ==
* 2 so far: Church vs. Nonprofit, Business
* Define who is a Contributing Member vs. a "Member by Declaration" ... perhaps start tracking contributions?
