[OnePagePlan]

2011 1 Year Goals (draft)

  • Village: Start construction on Ben's residence at Seed Village
  • Media: Finish the two books and maintain SpaceWiki
  • Spiritual practice: Maintain the spiritual practice (weekly service calls, in-person solstice and equinox events)

Stretch Goals

  • Outreach: Two more contributing members
  • Service: $10,000 or 200 hour contribution (or some combination) to a service project that brings life
  • Industry: Apply for an SBIR grant related to launching life to another world (possibly a space catapult)


  • Which of these would we keep?
    • Ben: SpaceWiki/Media
    • Shelley: Industry or Village
    • Brandon: Spiritual practice, but that's just maintenance
  • Which of these would we change to a "stretch goal"?
    • Shelley: Outreach (Ben reluctantly agrees)
    • Brandon: Also Service and Industry

Earth Day Debrief

  • Contacting people we met
  • Taking photos of the lettuce (weekly?)
  • Learnings
    • Brandon: The booth layout really matters, and needs to give a really low barrier to entry, with an opportunity for more depth if you want it
      • Ben: Contact Amber Case about this?
    • Brandon: Attract everyone there who might be interested in space, from a long distance
    • Ben: It would be nice to have more people manning the booth so one person isn't forced to shoulder the burden

Seed Village

  • Decision on backyard cottage vs. basement
    • Do we need plans from the architect to make that decision? No
