== Agenda == * Check In ... New Years Resolution * Review WWWs * Review Calls * Disney * Seed 2011 * Seed Village * OnePagePlan == Check In == * Shelley ... I want to be less busy ... more unstructured, unscheduled time ... when I create a clearing there are payoffs including decreased stress ... going to bear that in mind as I sign myself up for huge commitments (ex. feeding 12 adults Feb 5-7) * Brandon ... I want to be more disciplined, focused, and ahead of the game ... feel pretty good about the house cleanup Shelley's parents did today * Ben ... laptop screen just broke :-( ... I will no doubt be spending a lot of time with tech support sometime soon * Petra ... might be getting better ... appropriate poop and sans diarrhea * Sequoia ... cute rolling pin for Christmas ... really nice day ... teething going better ... can say 3-5 words ... ASL signing for daddy and asking for music, about 20 others == WWWs from last time == * <s>Ben ... expand the newsletter, add pictures, and send it off ... by Friday * Ben ... work on core values/beliefs ... by next call * Shelley ... do invitation for Jan 15 ... by tonight * Shelley and Brandon ... do invitation for Feb 4, 5, 6 ... tonight</s> * Brandon ... Send out SpaceWiki emails ... by Friday * Brandon ... <s>email all "members by declaration"</s> and invite them to participate ... by Monday (almost ready to send) == Review Work Bee call format == * Shelley: My favorite thing is I can fold the laundry during the calls * Brandon: We spend a lot of time shallowly touching a whole bunch of things ** Shelley: I like it because otherwise it's painful ... we go deep when it's appropriate ** Brandon: If we only spend a few minutes on each thing, it's not really a work bee ** Shelley: What if we had the first call of the month set the agenda for the others, and have that be the only shallow one? ** Brandon: Shoot for half the call actually working on a project ** Ben: I think a lot of our projects need frequent checkins to keep them on track ** Shelley: Maybe we should lengthen every other call by half and hour *** Ben: I think when it's not too late at night I wouldn't mind extending it (when it feels like we've missed important agenda items or rushed through things) * Ben: no specific suggestions other than the usual: it would be nice if there were more people participating * Try out 90-minute call next week == Disney == * Ben can tell them that he will take the ShareFile down but would still like to hear an answer * Brandon could host the file on AWS for $1 a month * Replacement song: Could give Lori the ideas for lyrics that Ben sketched out, or just give her the video ** She wants rights to any music so she would get a share of the money if the song ever makes money == Seed 2011 == * We want kidlike energy * We don't have 12 real SolSeed Members who are interested in all the overlapping areas ** Feedback from those who aren't into space will help us communicate better * Say "We're going to be talking about space (among other things), but we're not going to assume that you're in to space" ** Don't worry, we're not going to assume that you are committed to space ** You can observe the services with the SolSeed Creed *** Make sure to spell out what the Creed means? *** Or leave the Creed out of those services? *** Readers' Theater with questioning? * Seed 2011 will be our main emphasis for the next few Work Bee calls ** Brandon: Also make it the emphasis for the whole quarter == Seed Village == * Laura, an intern at Cloacina, will be living there for a month ** We explained to her that it's a "trial run for living in community" * Jason Swift is still working on the Alaska project, out of town January 8th-18th == [[OnePagePlan]] == ===2011 1 Year Goals (draft)=== * Village: Start construction on a backyard cottage * Outreach: Two more contributing members * Media: Finish the two books and maintain SpaceWiki * Spiritual practice: Maintain the spiritual practice (weekly service calls, in-person solstice and equinox events) * Service: $10,000 or 200 hour contribution (or some combination) to a service project that brings life Note: Village, Media, and Service can all contribute toward Outreach as a general goal ===2011 1st Quarter Goals, due 3/31/2011 (draft)=== * Seed 2011 ** Yellow: The event occurs on February 5-7 ** Green: Everyone who attends feels positively toward SolSeed when they leave ** Super Green: Somebody "levels up" * Children's book ** Yellow: Another test copy ** Green: Publish it ** Super Green: Distribute it to 20 people ==WWWs== * Shelley ... invite her dad for the service call ... by tonight * Shelley ... check responses to the Seed 2011 invitation ... by tonight * Ben ... email Disney about the ShareFile etc ... by tomorrow
