Next Service Logistics

10am Saturday September 3, 2011 ... Brandon Rotation: Brandon, Jerry?, Shelley, Ben

DARPA Starship Contest

3-day symposium in Florida, Sept. 30-Oct. 2 http://www.100yss.org/

  • A mine of people to talk to
  • Shelley says this conference is "required for all SolSeed members"
    • She probably could go if she could do a couple of conference calls for work while there
    • Long flight for Sequoia and splitting childcare time, vs. leaving him with someone, vs. inviting Boni along
    • Get Sequoia his own seat
  • Go as exhibitors? (We'd have to turn in the application by tomorrow!)
    • Shelley says we'd be too distracted as exhibitors and should just be participants
    • We could join their movement rather than trying to recruit people
  • Spend SolSeed money on flights and lodging (including for Boni)
    • Reason to hurry: get plane tickets before they get too expensive
    • Ben bought his with money "contributed to SolSeed"

Evaluation

We were too excited and tired to write them down.
