#### Theme discussion
##### from last time
- Theme/seed concept brainstorming
- Something about where the [SolSeedMovement](/SolSeedMovement) is currently going
- Something appropos to the moment
- Environmental focus ... what is one action I could take
- Advocacy? (write your senator, look at emails from environmental groups)
- Individual actions? (bike riding, replace bulbs w/ CFLs, etc)
- Other action-focused ideas
- Eco-village
- [Brandon](/Brandon): But have a greater focus on non-business-specific, inspirational concepts, focused around appreciation of [Life](/Life)
- Birth of [Gaia](/Gaia) out of [Chaos](/Chaos) (UU sermon)
- Reading like the one at church today
- Discussion of the Destiny as a possible theme
- If we have a church it will almost certainly have to be a church of [TheDestiny](/TheDestiny) as well as a church of life
- Visualize something on a laptop from the Hubble Space Telescope or something like it
##### continued
- Theme based on one of the values
- **Empathy** (probably doing this for Feb. 6)
- Others for later
- Life is precious
- The Destiny, Be starfarer now
- Presence / mindfulness / being in the now, Nurture body, mind and spirit ([SelfLove](/SelfLove))
- We ALL are precious SolSeed (openness/welcoming differences) (community) ([Empathy](/Empathy))
- Acting Upstream ([Wisdom](/Wisdom))
#### SpaceWiki.com
- Google searches for "space" and "wiki" are about 70,000/month
- We could buy the spacewiki.com domain for $900
- .org is owned by Apogee Books ... don't know if we can buy it
- [Shelley](/Shelley): but do we really want another project?
- To make this useful for bringing in searchers, we can't just forward it to solseed.org
- Could have public-domain news articles, space images
- Could mimic the icannwiki success by going to space-industry conferences, registering users with caricatures, and building connection with the most important space players (?)
- Ray started icannwiki, got a booth at an actual ICANN meeting and had caricatures done and posted on the wall, making the attendees curious
- This could be a fast way to get "in" with space industry players as well
- Caricatures are a successful meme
- But do we want a bunch of people who are drawn in solely by that?
- Goal would be to create a Who's Who of the space field
- Should we look to see if someone is already doing something similar?
- Would work toward having a space business ... need relationships in the industry first
- Sponsorships ... where would we get them?
- Not the first time, other than [SolSeedMovement](/SolSeedMovement) itself
#### NorWesCon
- Deadline for getting a [dealer booth](http://norwescon.org/dealers.htm) was last month, and we would need a Washington State business license
- [Brandon](/Brandon) is wondering if the work to do sci-fi conventions is worth it
- Just get a [table](http://norwescon.org/lobbytables.htm) ... how many of our previous ideas can we still use?
- Ideas from last time
- "Gaian" aesthetic - green shag carpet, potted plants?
- Give away healthy non-processed food as "party favors" (Apples maybe? or dried fruit?)
- Must be careful about not violating sanitation rules ... etc
- Labeled with SolSeed or in a cute little bag?
- Tea bags ... want people eating it right in front of everybody
- [Seed](/Seed) packets! ... come with a button that says "I'm planting Seeds"
- Remote Controlled Helicopters ... raffle to win it ... probably not, if we don't have a booth
- Pictures of space and the Galaxy
- Karoake?
- Goals
- Get our name out there in the science fiction world
- Stretch goal: get new members
