### [OnePagePlan](/OnePagePlan)
#### Goals (1 Year)
- Income run rate of $100,000/year (~$9000/month) -- Brandon is really worried about that
- Need to incorporate a business
- September 2 is the closing deadline for this year's SBIR application process ... not happening
- Focus on this in 4th quarter
*No other changes*
### Conferences/Conventions
- Space industry
- Looks like we're not doing the [Puerto Rico Space Congress](http://leeward.crowdvine.com/)
- Sci-fi conventions
- Brandon doesn't think those are very fruitful compared to other types ... maybe because they're not about the real world
- Environmental, intentional communities
- [Bioneers](http://www.bioneers.org/conference): San Rafael, CA, October 15th-17th (Friday-Sunday)
- Maybe just Saturday & Sunday ... Shelley definitely can't do Friday
- Could we invite SolSeed members from more than just the Pacific NW to meet up at one of these, in lieu of a big unconference we organize ourselves?
### Newsletters
#### SolSeed August newsletter
- Major point for the upcoming Equinox celebration
- Second mural painting at the sponsored neighborhood picnic
- Update on the SolSeed book projects
#### First Eco-Village list message
- Get Matthew and Molly to write something?
- Talk about the constitution-like document we've been working on
### Equinox Celebration
- Should it be right on the Equinox?
- Shelley: Yes ... otherwise what's the point? ... if it's just me and Brandon, so be it
- Ben: Maybe ... on the other hand, it would be nice to have more participants ... otherwise it doesn't seem all that meaningful
- Brandon: Even if it is Wednesday night, we could probably get Matthew, Molly, Gus, David, some others
- Purpose?
- Shelley: Serving the needs of the people ... whoever comes is the right people ... we can talk about [The Destiny](/The_Destiny), but don't do anything resembling marketing ... be who we say we are first, *then* do outreach in a different venue
- Brandon: Bundle it with enough meaningful progress on the backyard cottage to get Ben down here? ... I could drive up to Seattle and pick Ben up
### Backyard Cottage
- Brandon talked to neighbors about architects ... don't necessarily have to talk to Chris
- [ArchitectScorecard](/ArchitectScorecard) is a good place to start
- We should make a list of potential architects and evaluate them against it
- How much can we do without talking to them?
- Brandon already knows a lot about some nearby architects
- Brandon has used a scorecard to good effect in hiring at work
### SpaceWiki
- Ask for sponsorship for the site itself, not so much for events? (since the next one will not be for awhile)
- For the caricatures?
- For the benefit of our work developing the wiki?
- Currently we don't get many hits/day, but a sponsor could help with that by linking to us
- Work on the Events page, which will help determine which event to go to next
- Then we can focus on getting sponsorship for that event
### Book
- Do we want poems?
- Brandon says the current [SolSeed book](/SolSeed_book) is one book within the "larger book" that will include poems and songs and litanies for services, etc.
