Brandon Rotation: Brandon, Jerry?, Shelley, Ben == Church == * Brandon says we should have a provisional decision before we go to the Starship Symposium ** Although the business cards don't necessarily have to say * Incorporating as a nonprofit has a lot more hoops to jump through, and fewer protections, than establishing status as a religion ** Speaking from experience with the ASF * Does a religion have to have a god or gods? ** Is atheism a religion? Do Buddhism or pantheism have gods? * Is science a religion? ** [[Being a Starfarer#Truth, Beauty, and Values (the religion of science)]] :Ben: SolSeed is probably a branch of the metaphorical Church of Science. :Shelley: SolSeed is not a religion. :Brandon: SolSeed is an alternative to traditional religion. == 100 Year Starship Symposium == * Do something to show our commitment to the movement ** Dress up as monks with SolSeed emblem embroidered on our robes? ** Tatoos? ** Embroidered patch? ** Jewelry such as pendants? Bracelets? * Update the website before we go? * Business cards? Brochures? * Find people to share hotel room with Ben? ** Invite people from our list ** Tweet about it: "Need a place to sleep for the #100yss symposium? Share a 2-bed hotel room Thurs-Sun for $100" ** Write on the wall at the Facebook pages *** http://www.facebook.com/pages/100-Year-Starship/182066625158495 *** http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=242535202441764 == Equinox == * We did some work looking up bike routes on Google Maps.
