== Next Service Logistics ==
10am Saturday September 3, 2011 ... 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
