== Weekly Events Logistics ==
Weekend
:Service rotation: Eric, Shelley, Brandon, Ben
* February 7 Service: 9:00 AM PDT, 12:00 EST (Ben)
* February 8 Work-Bee: 5:30 PM PST, 20:30 EST ... probably canceled (Sanders likely in Seattle to see baby Daniel, Ben likely too busy getting picked up from the Santa Barbara Airport)
Midweek
* February 5 Work-Bee: 6:30 PM PST, 21:30 EST (Sanders out due to having Carol and Vickki as dinner guests)
== 10-year celebration ==
* When: February 28, 2015
** February 28, 2005 was when Shelley joined, and the First Follower is the most important person, according to a TED talk on starting movements
* Where:
* Who:
** Just us?
** People who were at Seed 2009?
** People who came to later events, e.g. Hank & Gus & Ben's parents?
* What:
** A cake with 10 candles and presents (e.g. Millennial Gaia statues, if we can find any for sale)
** Watching videos, e.g. [[Gaia's Heartbeat]] and Symphony of Science
** Singing
** Launching little rockets
** Looking at the stars
*** Could go to the Haggart observatory in Clackamas, or Rooster Rock
** Get matching tattoos on our foreheads
** Go to stonehenge at Maryhill (would probably have to be during the warmest part of the day)
** Go to a laaaaaarge tree and hug it
*** Possibly Portland's largest Coast Redwood
** A meal (lunch or dinner)
== Considerations for Seed Village ==
* Mandatory Logistics Issues … it’s got to work for kids and adults
** Near places of employment
** Good public transportation
** Near existing schools (until we start our own)
** Enough space for all contributing members to live there
** Internet access
* Inspiration … it's got to be exciting enough to overcome our inertia
** Green building features
** Beautiful sacred meeting space/Temple
** Food & flower garden
** Stirring natural setting and/or vibrant urban setting (e.g. Forest Park)
* Non-mandatory but still important features
** Common spaces for meals
** Bikable
** Workshop
** Good multi-purpose meeting space
== SolSeed Business Chat ==
* Brandon … I’m thinking about getting a normal job and so might be out of play for such an endeavor for a few years
* Ben … I’m thinking about working for SpaceX sometime in the next few years, which would also be a problem … may not be a strong possibility
* Brandon … I’ve grown accustomed to having a fair amount of money to spend on things, and I don't know whether I'm committed enough to "starve" for a while
* Ben … one thing that worries me is that our top idea is synthetic biology thing … extremely controversial politically and way outside our areas of expertise … I’ve been waiting for the black hat session so that I could say that
* Brandon … I don't feel like there's something on our current list of ideas that I "can't not do"
* Ben … so that’s what you are looking for, something that is like “yep, I’ve got to dedicate my life to this!”
* Brandon … basically … the thing I'm most excited about right now is the science fiction that you're writing
* Ben … but of course that's not a viable business plan … people who make money off of writing science fiction are very few and far between
* Brandon … yeah, but you’re really good! as is Eric!
* Ben … I'm going to try to sell my work to a publisher, but I still wouldn't make any future financial plans based on it
* Brandon … another thing I'm proud of is The Seed and the Gaia's Heartbeat music video, even though the latter is kind of a failure … I'm proud of the artistic, creative things we've made in general
* Ben … I still say we haven't really promoted Gaia's Heartbeat enough … anyway, viral videos won't make us money directly, only if they point people to e.g. "donate money to the SolSeed Foundation!"
== Evaluation ==
* Brandon … wanting to continue our discernment and get to a point of tight focus
* Ben … I feel like we may need to adopt a long-term mindset that says “we’re going to be a success someday but we’re not necessarily going to go viral and have a million dollars in three years like we said at one point” … Brandon agrees :-)
