Orion vault — clean initial history
Knowledge vault (Orion/PARA) migrated from the pre-Orion 484vault on 2026-10-01. Deliberately orphaned: prior history contained a plaintext password and stays local-only on branch archive/pre-boilerplate-history. Secrets and live Hermes state are gitignored.

# SolLunar Team Meeting — 2026-07-17 (Readout)
|
||||
|
||||
## 1. Decisions
|
||||
|
||||
| decision | who | date |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| **Fences down next door** (compliant with Daniel); **food truck moves to the new driveway** (all hookups there) | Poly | 2026-07-17 |
|
||||
| **Second yellow house = data center**; get Fiber up; move all servers from Indra's + Delano there; **sell leftover data-center space to offset rent** ("It's paid for; we've got it") | Poly | 2026-07-17 |
|
||||
| **Hakeem (Above Phone)** is staying in + officing at the second yellow house; Lab does **all the programming for his devices**; he wants to become a **partner in the Noderunner store** (inside Sapien corner once the bench moves); "deep, deep partnership developing" | Poly | 2026-07-17 |
|
||||
| **Blaze + Collette at D-Web camp**: "everyone loves Archipelago"; Blaze met the **Forsyth Institute** (Berlin collective, 30 years, huge warehouse, fully funded) → they send their **main rep to meet us in 3 weeks** AND **want to buy Indra's** → "now we have two investors competing for it" | Poly / Blaze | 2026-07-17 |
|
||||
| **Blaze → Prague** to meet **Daniel (landlord)** (also in Prague) to discuss the space | Poly / Blaze | 2026-07-17 |
|
||||
| **Tonight: Hape ceremony** event (Angel: "Nothing to share at this time" re updates) | Poly | 2026-07-17 |
|
||||
| **Trust meeting feedback is great** — members excited; **Ben** (tall guy who builds mansions) came back after a long time, "can feel we're on the cusp," "really proud" | Poly / Ben | 2026-07-17 |
|
||||
| **Bootcamp at end of month**; 3 people interested in **paying** (not free) | Poly / Eliza | 2026-07-17 |
|
||||
| **Xela brings 2 investors this week**: **Cade Vineyard + another**; "Xela loves the new plan" | Poly | 2026-07-17 |
|
||||
| **Mary Mandell meeting on the 26th** — looking at giving her **Lakeway land** ("do whatever we want, build what we want") + giving us money for this location too | Poly | 2026-07-17 |
|
||||
| **Vlatko still interested in Indra's + data center**; "as soon as he works out the data center deal, Indra's could go through"; "probably will happen, especially now that the Forsyth Institute is involved" | Poly | 2026-07-17 |
|
||||
| **Part of this location's raise = back pay for staff**: ~**$50k for L484, $50k for Solarpunk**, rest for needs ("Sorry we haven't been able to pay everyone... that's going to change") | Poly | 2026-07-17 |
|
||||
| **FF (Fast Friends) lease essentially done** — "pretty much everything lined up"; upstairs office; contracting meeting later today; **Matt Alvarez** (sound eng., Jenelle's ref) is the first priority; Dave keeps improving the deal (group fitness room, AC, +1000 sqft changing/shower rooms, digging to foundation) | Mackenze | 2026-07-17 |
|
||||
| **New Braunfels**: FF second location **already permitted, site approved**; 1.5-acre adjacent custom-home land; **Lish** (20-30 yr marketing DB) + an 8th-gen New Braunfels Texan + Vanessa → **tiny-home village**; **opportunity zone + fund** being established; Lish's father (PE, mortgage/equipment financing) could finance the tiny-home villages → "build multiples of these showrooms without raising $500k" | Mackenze | 2026-07-17 |
|
||||
| ⚠️ **"If Arlene pitched you, she's shady, don't go down that route"** | Mackenze | 2026-07-17 |
|
||||
| **Nelson (next-door)** is "super on board" — took down the fence the day after asked; **demolishing the (bad) house** (already getting quotes); **raise capital for shipping containers** (talk to the guy soon); containers come from the stacks/pot-dispensary guy's maker shop (steel frame, ADU, warehouse, hempcrete) | Poly / Mackenze | 2026-07-17 |
|
||||
| **Yellow-house plan**: the torn-down house's **L-shaped concrete slab = tiny homes + central courtyard**; one investor's priority = **Xela's permanent yoga space** (shipping containers, bottom floor) | Poly | 2026-07-17 |
|
||||
| **Indra's: move out everything regardless of buying** — if we buy, take everything out + plug holes + proper electric; if not, Randi won't want us; start moving our stuff to the stage area in small batches over 2 weeks; **empty the front Alice-in-Wonderland space** (staging area); when Noderunners opens, inventory comes here | Poly | 2026-07-17 |
|
||||
| **Jen rented a large storage space** (empty except a commercial stove Ricky donated) — use it | Mackenze | 2026-07-17 |
|
||||
| **Jen's best friend (Florida)** is moving here with **5 health & healing businesses** — supplements, plant medicine, "wants to do something with us here"; bringing a ton of equipment | Mackenze / Jen | 2026-07-17 |
|
||||
| **Crowdfund site ready** — one campaign for every thing we do; "let the free market determine what we put our energy into"; **Arctec campaign already up + first goal met** (angor.io, first thing on the page) | Poly | 2026-07-17 |
|
||||
| **No more stealth**: "Grok knows who we are, explains what Lab484 is and who I am... mainstream now"; podcast growing; Mary Mandell watched it with friends | Poly | 2026-07-17 |
|
||||
| **Divine Provisions (food co-op) is moving fast** — leave the front of Sapien empty for it; move the bench ourselves (bench moving soon); the guy wants to pick up the bench + wood thing + Sapien Center sign | Poly / Mackenze | 2026-07-17 |
|
||||
| **Draw a line with Brian**: his "mountain of stuff" must go (what he does with it isn't our concern); maybe help with his meat (Radius makes dog food); move his meat to the big freezer → chest freezers out; **pull the 15yo lab freezers** (on their last legs) → +1000 sqft usable; no food prep in the space ("huge risk") | Mackenze / Poly | 2026-07-17 |
|
||||
| **Jay's bus → driveway at the yellow house** (tables + chairs) = the kitchen | Poly | 2026-07-17 |
|
||||
| **Outdoor shower: remove it** — metal torn/jagged/dangerous, covered in mold + bacteria, no drainage, no hot water heater; $1000 repair still fails health-dept permit (needs drain system); upstairs shower exists | Mackenze / Janelle / Poly | 2026-07-17 |
|
||||
| **Housing**: Tom (Delano) → private room to living room/garage so **Hakeem gets the bedroom** (a week or two); **leaving Delano in a month**; Jennifer looking at houses; "people who are willing to rent houses for us"; house list to group chat, people pick where they live | Poly | 2026-07-17 |
|
||||
| **Rebuilding someone's website** (name garbled in source) — yes, we're doing it | Poly / Gabriel | 2026-07-17 |
|
||||
| **Deep clean day next week** — inventory what's ours vs Brian's, "owe that to Angel"; "in the next week, we should have the lease figured out and signed, can set the line with Brian. He'll take it well from Angel." | Kyle / Poly | 2026-07-17 |
|
||||
|
||||
**Cross-check vs 06-DECISIONS:**
|
||||
- Continues 7-10 (Angel on board; data center in second yellow house; FF lease; New Braunfels; Hakeem partnership; Indra's move-out prep; Arctec crowdfund; brand).
|
||||
- **New**: Forsyth Institute (Berlin) as a competing investor for Indra's + 3-week rep visit — a major external signal not in 7-10.
|
||||
- Consistent with 7-10 (Haven, Mary Mandell Lakeway land now has a meeting date — the 26th).
|
||||
- "SoLunar" branding is now the meeting header (brand landing, per 7-10 naming thread).
|
||||
- Back-pay ($50k L484 + $50k Solarpunk) is new financial context tied to the raise.

||||

## 3. Project Links
|
||||
|
||||
- **Sapien / SoLunar** (existing) → data center, food truck, Noderunner, Divine Provisions, Brian cleanup, shower removal
|
||||
- **Yellow houses** (existing) → #2 = office + data center + Hakeem; #1 (bad) = demo → tiny homes + courtyard + yoga containers
|
||||
- **Fast Friends** (existing) → lease done, sound, New Braunfels #2
|
||||
- **New Braunfels** (new candidate) → permitted FF #2 + opportunity zone + tiny-home village
|
||||
- **Forsyth Institute** (new external) → Berlin 30-yr collective; competing investor for Indra's; rep in 3 weeks
|
||||
- **Indra's** → buy-vs-move (Forsyth + Vlatko competing); full move-out either way
|
||||
- **Haven / Mary Mandell Lakeway** (candidates) → 26th meeting
|
||||
- **Angor.io crowdfund** → Arctec live
|
||||
- **Noderunner store / Above Phone (Hakeem)** → deep hardware partnership
|
||||
- Keynctr ([[keynctr 1]]) — not mentioned
|
||||
|
||||
## 4. Knowledge
|
||||
|
||||
- **Hakeem (Above Phone)**: helping get the second yellow house; staying + officing there; wants Lab to program his devices; wants Noderunner store partnership; "he'll be here in an hour and then probably never leave."
|
||||
- **Forsyth Institute**: Berlin collective doing "what we've been doing but for 30 years"; huge warehouse with a bottom level; "spaceship crashed there" story; reverse-engineering the tech; fully funded; sending main rep in 3 weeks; wants to buy Indra's; locations in Berlin/Germany working well.
|
||||
- **Ben** (Trust, "tall guy who builds mansions"): "can feel we're on the cusp... felt it in Dallas and had to come down."
|
||||
- **Mary Mandell**: Lakeway land; "do whatever we want, build what we want"; also giving money for this location; watched the podcast with friends.
|
||||
- **Back pay**: ~$50k L484 + $50k Solarpunk is part of the raise (staff helped pay rent).
|
||||
- **FF (Dave)**: keeps improving the lease — group fitness room, AC, +1000 sqft changing/shower, dig to foundation.
|
||||
- **New Braunfels**: FF #2 permitted + site approved; 1.5-acre adjacent custom-home land; opportunity zone + fund; **Lish** = 20-30 yr marketing DB (jumped in around Resilience Design Center); her father = PE mortgage/equipment financing.
|
||||
- **Arlene = shady** (Mackenze's warning) — don't go down that route.
|
||||
- **Nelson**: took down fence the next day; getting demo quotes.
|
||||
- **Containers**: from the stacks/pot-dispensary guy's maker shop — steel frame, ADU, warehouse, hempcrete.
|
||||
- **Yellow-house slab**: L-shaped concrete, perfect for tiny homes + central courtyard.
|
||||
- **Indra's**: whether or not we buy, everything moves out; front Alice-in-Wonderland space = staging; servers to new DC.
|
||||
- **Jen's storage**: large space, empty except a commercial stove (Ricky donated).
|
||||
- **Jen's Florida friend**: 5 health/healing businesses (supplements, plant medicine), bringing equipment, "wants to do something with us."
|
||||
- **Mainstream**: "Grok knows who we are" — no longer stealth; podcast growing.
|
||||
- **Divine Provisions**: food co-op moving fast; front of Sapien reserved for it; the guy is taking the bench + Sapien Center sign.
|
||||
- **Brian's stuff**: meat → big freezer; pull 15yo lab freezers (+1000 sqft); food prep = huge risk; "what he does with it isn't our concern."
|
||||
- **Bus → yellow-house driveway kitchen**.
|
||||
- **Outdoor shower**: torn metal, mold/bacteria, no drain, no hot water; can't be permitted without a drain; remove it.
|
||||
- **Housing**: leaving Delano in a month; Tom to living room; Hakeem gets the bedroom; Jennifer scouting houses; list to group chat.
|
||||
- **Hakeem move-in**: a week here, a week in Houston, until he moves over for real; larger chunk in August.
|
||||
- **Hakeem's value (Eliza)**: "already figured out all the open-source back-end stuff" — customer service, fulfillment, scalability.
|
||||
|
||||
## 5. Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
- **Daniel/lease uncertainty** — fix: Blaze meets Daniel in Prague; "in the next week, we should have the lease figured out and signed."
|
||||
- **Indra's buy-vs-move ambiguity** — fix: move everything out regardless; Forsyth + Vlatko competing (leverage up).
|
||||
- **Brian's mountain of stuff** — fix: deep clean day + meat to big freezer + pull freezers + set the line post-lease.
|
||||
- **Outdoor shower is a health/safety liability** — fix: remove it (permit can't be met).
|
||||
- **Food prep risk in the main space** — fix: pull freezers, no food prep; bus becomes the kitchen.
|
||||
- **Noderunner "walk-in and see what we have today" problem** — fix: Hakeem's open-source back-end (CS, fulfillment, scalability).
|
||||
- **Housing at Delano is stale** — fix: 3-house move in a month; house list to group chat.
|
||||
|
||||
## 6. Open Questions
|
||||
|
||||
- Will Forsyth Institute's rep visit (3 weeks) lead to an Indra's purchase?
|
||||
- Will the 26th Mary Mandell meeting produce a land deal + capital?
|
||||
- Will the lease be signed within the week (Blaze/Daniel Prague)?
|
||||
- Who exactly is the "website rebuild" client (garbled)?
|
||||
- What's the deep-clean day (next week — date TBD)?
|
||||
- Will Xela's 2 investors (Cade Vineyard + 1) close this week?
|
||||
- How much is the FF lease finalizing to (8-13% + 7% split confirmed)?
|
||||
- What does "the guy" (maker shop) want for the containers?
|
||||
|
||||
## 7. Gaps
|
||||
|
||||
- **Indra's decision (buy vs not)**: no decision — only "move out either way."
|
||||
- **Deep clean day**: not scheduled (next week, date TBD).
|
||||
- **New Braunfels village**: "not sure how it's all coming together" — no owner, no date, no financing terms.
|
||||
- **Lish's father financing**: no terms, no commitment.
|
||||
- **Hakeem's device programming**: no spec, no schedule ("deep partnership" is the only detail).
|
||||
- **Brian's stuff line**: gated on the lease ("next week").
|
||||
- **Website rebuild client**: name lost in transcription.
|
||||
- **Outdoor shower removal**: no owner, no date.
|
||||
|
||||
## 8. My Follow-Ups (Avi)
|
||||
|
||||
1. **No direct assignment.** Avi not named in this meeting.
|
||||
2. **Data center migration** (servers from Indra's + Delano → second yellow house; "get Fiber up"; sell leftover space) — the most concrete engineering task in the meeting; if Avi is available, this is the natural Keynctr-adjacent surface. [INFERRED — offer, not assigned]
|
||||
3. **Hakeem's open-source back-end** (CS, fulfillment, scalability) — a systems/integration surface; no owner named.
|
||||
4. Adjacent: the **Angor.io crowdfund** (all projects to be listed) is a marketing/ops task; no explicit Avi ask.
|
||||
|
||||
## Email Summary
|
||||
|
||||
7-17 (first meeting under the SoLunar header) was a momentum report: the fences are down and the food truck is moving to the new driveway; the second yellow house is locked as the data center (Fiber + servers from Indra's and Delano, with leftover space sold to offset rent) and doubles as Hakeem's (Above Phone) office in a "deep, deep" hardware partnership that includes Noderunner-store equity. Blaze met the Berlin-based Forsyth Institute at D-Web camp — a 30-year, fully funded collective now sending its main rep over in three weeks and competing with Vlatko to buy Indra's, while also heading to Prague to talk space directly with Daniel the landlord. The Trust is excited (Ben: "we're on the cusp"), a paid bootcamp runs at month-end, Xela brings two investors (Cade Vineyard + one) this week, and Mary Mandell's Lakeway land meeting is set for the 26th. The raise now includes ~$50k each of back pay to L484 and Solarpunk staff. Fast Friends is essentially leased and upgrading (fitness room, +1000 sqft, sound via Matt Alvarez), and New Braunfels is the permitted second FF site with an opportunity zone, a tiny-home village, and potential PE financing from Lish's father. Operationally: everything leaves Indra's in the next two weeks, Brian's mountain gets a hard line after the lease, the 15-year-old freezers come out (+1000 sqft), the unsafe outdoor shower is removed, Jay's bus becomes the driveway kitchen, the Arctec crowdfund has already hit its first goal on angor.io, and the team is moving out of Delano into three better houses next month — plus a deep-clean day to set the line and give Angel a fresh start.

Short, ops-heavy check-in (22 lines in source).
|
||||
|
||||
## 1. Decisions
|
||||
|
||||
| decision | who | date |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| **Moving out of Indra's by the 26th** — Randi wants to rent it to someone moving in on the 1st; **"$1.5m would be better spent elsewhere"** (buying Indra's is effectively off) | Poly | 2026-07-20 |
|
||||
| **Vlatko is still doing a data center** (deal continues) | Poly | 2026-07-20 |
|
||||
| **Angel Robinson fully on board** with the Sapien location; "rolling right along" | Poly | 2026-07-20 |
|
||||
| **Lease status**: still no Sapien lease, but **leases held for both yellow houses**; Sapien secured for this month by paying rent | Poly | 2026-07-20 |
|
||||
| **Grass decision pending**: real vs fake (fake "supposedly non-toxic"); Poly wants real grass but **serious ant problem**; Jen: real grass = maintenance problem; alternatives floated: **clover (cheap, non-toxic, nitrogen-rich) / thyme (smells amazing)**; Angel will handle grass maintenance | Poly / Jen / Eliza | 2026-07-20 |
|
||||
| **Front corner**: someone comes by at **noon for a quote** (work Angel already committed to) | Jay | 2026-07-20 |
|
||||
| **Second yellow house = offices + data center** ("which is what we need"); Hakeem only sleeps in the guest bedroom + office space there | Poly | 2026-07-20 |
|
||||
| **Hakeem move-in plan**: a week here / a week in Houston until he moves over for real; "maybe a larger chunk of time in August" | Poly / Eliza | 2026-07-20 |
|
||||
| **Indra's move-out**: Poly gathers known-ours items to the middle of the room → where-does-it-go piles; takes Tom, Jay, Gabriel; move all couches | Poly | 2026-07-20 |
|
||||
| **Jen's podcast studio (at her house)**: collect anything that should go with it | Jen | 2026-07-20 |
|
||||
|
||||
**Cross-check vs 06-DECISIONS:**
|
||||
- **Decisive on Indra's**: 7-10/7-17 left buy-vs-move open (Forsyth + Vlatko competing); 7-20 closes it — **not buying** ("$1.5m better spent elsewhere"), move out by the 26th. Forsyth's interest is effectively moot.
|
||||
- Consistent with 7-10 (Angel on board; data center in yellow house; Hakeem; 30-day rent hold on Sapien).
|
||||
- Grass (clover/thyme) is a new micro-decision thread; no final call.
|
||||
|
||||
## 2. Action Items
|
||||
|
||||
| owner | task | due date | project | status |
|
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
||||
| Poly (+ Tom, Jay, Gabriel) | Move out of Indra's — gather, pile, move couches | **2026-07-26** | Sapien / Move | scheduled |
|
||||
| team | Quote for front corner (Angel's commitment) — person arrives at noon | 2026-07-20 | Sapien / Landscaping | scheduled |
|
||||
| team | Decide real vs fake vs clover/thyme grass (ant problem; maintenance) | NO DATE | Sapien / Landscaping | open |
|
||||
| Angel | Grass maintenance | ongoing | Sapien / Landscaping | assigned |
|
||||
| Poly | Hakeem move-in logistics (week here / week Houston; August chunk) | August | Sapien / Yellow house | planned |
|
||||
| Jen | Collect items for the podcast studio (her house) | NO DATE | Sapien / Media | open |
|
||||
| team | Hakeem: let Jay know he can be back (Delano) | 2026-07-20 | Housing | open |
|
||||
| Poly | Investors: upcoming call with **Gabe the Poker player**; **Ryan Sellers** stopping by; **Source Node**; + one other | this week | L484 / Investment | scheduled |
|
||||
|
||||
## 3. Project Links
|
||||
|
||||
- **Sapien / SoLunar** (existing) → move-out, grass, front corner, investor calls
|
||||
- **Indra's** → exit by the 26th (Randi renting to new tenant on the 1st)
|
||||
- **Yellow houses** (existing) → #2 = office + data center (Hakeem guest room); both leased
|
||||
- **Fast Friends / New Braunfels** — not mentioned this meeting
|
||||
- Keynctr ([[keynctr 1]]) — not mentioned
|
||||
|
||||
## 4. Knowledge
|
||||
|
||||
- **Randi (Indra's)** is renting it out to a new tenant moving in on the 1st — the Indra's chapter is closing.
|
||||
- **Ant problem** in the back yard is serious (a factor in the grass decision).
|
||||
- **Clover**: cheap, non-toxic, nitrogen-rich; **thyme**: smells amazing — the low-maintenance candidates.
|
||||
- **Fake grass**: "supposedly non-toxic" (unverified).
|
||||
- **Hakeem**: "already figured out all the open-source back-end stuff" (customer service, fulfillment, scalability) — Eliza excited.
|
||||
- **Housing**: Hakeem at Delano only one night; "we're leaving there in a month" (per 7-17).
|
||||
- **Investor pipeline this week**: Gabe (poker player), Ryan Sellers, Source Node, + one other.
|
||||
- Sapien is month-to-month secured by rent payment until the lease lands.
|
||||
|
||||
## 5. Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
- **Indra's exit compressed** (Randi's new tenant on the 1st) — fix: full move by the 26th; pile-and-sort method; couches out.
|
||||
- **Back-yard ants + grass maintenance** — fix: leaning toward clover/thyme (non-toxic, nitrogen-rich, low maintenance); fake grass "supposedly non-toxic."
|
||||
- **Sapien lease still unsigned** — fix: rent hold; (per 7-10/7-17) Blaze/Daniel Prague meeting pending outcome.
|
||||
|
||||
## 6. Open Questions
|
||||
|
||||
- Real, fake, clover, or thyme grass? (no final call)
|
||||
- What did the noon front-corner quote come back at?
|
||||
- Will the Sapien lease be signed after the Blaze/Daniel Prague meeting?
|
||||
- Do the 4 investor calls this week (Gabe, Ryan Sellers, Source Node, +1) convert?
|
||||
- Is Vlatko's data center deal still on track after the Indra's exit?
|
||||
|
||||
## 7. Gaps
|
||||
|
||||
- **No owner for the grass decision** (team-level, unresolved).
|
||||
- **Front-corner quote**: result not captured.
|
||||
- **Investor call outcomes**: not captured.
|
||||
- **Sapien lease**: still no terms, no date — the persistent gap across 7-10 → 7-17 → 7-20.
|
||||
- **Podcast studio items**: no list, no owner.
|
||||
|
||||
## 8. My Follow-Ups (Avi)
|
||||
|
||||
1. **No direct assignment.** Avi not named.
|
||||
2. **Indra's move-out by the 26th** — if Avi is on the move team, the server/data-center items are the fragile cargo (see 7-24 for the actual move logistics and Ali's server-shelf work).
|
||||
3. **Data center power at the yellow house** (7-10: "not enough power for shelves yet") — the move makes this urgent; adjacent to Keynctr-type work. [INFERRED]
|
||||
|
||||
## Email Summary
|
||||
|
||||
7-20 was a short ops check-in that closed the Indra's chapter: Randi is renting it to a new tenant on the 1st, so the team is moving out by the 26th (the $1.5m "better spent elsewhere"), with the second yellow house confirmed as offices + data center and Hakeem settling in (guest bedroom + office, a week here / a week in Houston until August). Both yellow-house leases are signed; Sapien itself is still month-to-month on rent, with the Sapien lease the one outstanding item. Back-yard grass is up for decision (real vs non-toxic fake vs cheap nitrogen-rich clover or fragrant thyme) against a serious ant problem, a quote for the front corner Angel committed to was coming in at noon, and the investor pipeline is active this week (Gabe the poker player, Ryan Sellers, Source Node, plus one more).

# SolLunar Team Meeting — 2026-07-27 (Readout)
|
||||
|
||||
Move-out verified; **Pat (accounting) on-site for 2 weeks** driving the NFC membership-card mission.
|
||||
|
||||
## 1. Decisions
|
||||
|
||||
| decision | who | date |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| **SolLunar Society launch push**: "got traction on the lease yesterday"; Angel + Blaze + Poly working the lease; yellow houses **successfully merged together** ("looks great") | Poly | 2026-07-27 |
|
||||
| **NFC membership-card mission: working prototype by October** — all back-end software exists; need to bridge to NFC card programming; "everybody gets a card" and battle-tests | Pat / Poly | 2026-07-27 |
|
||||
| **Card product model**: anyone can brand cards however they want, but **interoperable with our system**; private membership clubs buy cards from us; **first partner = Solarpunk** (running by October); later supply to other locations, festivals, events | Poly | 2026-07-27 |
|
||||
| **Door access design**: front door public; **internal vestibule door = tap-to-unlock (membership)**; same door size (swappable); +2 more doors need locks; prototype uses existing locks + added NFC readers ("work but not break the bank"); **make our own chips later** (reverse-engineer now) | Pat | 2026-07-27 |
|
||||
| **ATM + vending = part of the card system** (cash in → tap to pay; "like Bitcoin Poker night"); conversation with Nick next week | Pat / Poly | 2026-07-27 |
|
||||
| **Bathroom door tap = $1.25** (funds TP + supplies) — floated | Poly | 2026-07-27 |
|
||||
| **Card uses expand**: hookah ordering, food-truck payments; "simulating a festival space in Sapien"; "one day when we buy the mall, they will work there" | Poly | 2026-07-27 |
|
||||
| **Accounting**: start accounting processes when investment comes in; "the system will keep track"; **forensic accounting for Lab484 possible** (post-date the agreements); **secure contracts with Bitcoin shares can be built on NOSTR — "Bit Escrow" already exists** | Pat / Poly | 2026-07-27 |
|
||||
| **Accounting walk-through event**: staff meeting **Friday 11:00, stage at 11:30**; everyone gets an account, taps along; feedback loop to be designed | Pat / Poly | 2026-07-27 |
|
||||
| **Noderunner shop**: bench moves into the shop; **grocery store (Divine Provisions) = front space** (learn membership + check out the shop); owners = **Poly, Hakeem, Eliza, Asif, 25% each; Poly's portion → the Trust** (he "doesn't exist"); Telegram today; sells Above phones, laptops, servers, wifi, accessories | Poly | 2026-07-27 |
|
||||
| **AI server resale**: paid **$56k (Ali's quote)**; sell at **$60k min**; if **6 people pay $10k** → shared individual lab server | Poly / Ali | 2026-07-27 |
|
||||
| **Yellow-house #2 (lab house)**: stylized like the lab with Angel's guidance; the other house = mixed use / mainly lab storage; front area → grocery store (Radius partnership); wooden-bench spot → shop shelves; **Hakeem working the shop this weekend**; Above Shop at Fast Friends (not confirmed) | Poly | 2026-07-27 |
|
||||
| **Above Shop vs Noderunner split**: Noderunner features **Above Phone**; Above Shop features **Archipelago** — "best of both worlds"; Hakeem excited | Poly | 2026-07-27 |
|
||||
| **Tiny-home manufacturers (Houston trip: Mackenze, Tom, Jen)**: **ÖÖD House** (Swedish, mirror-clad, premium) + a custom builder (metal frames on-site, **30-45 days done & installed**, any size/shape, stack or line up); **a manufacturer gave us an acre in Jonestown for a tiny-home showroom** (4-6 structures: AWG, composting toilets, GeoGRO, off-grid everything); "if we can find someone to finance us and a spot of land (Poly: Vince), we can have housing for the team forever" | Jen | 2026-07-27 |
|
||||
| **Yellow-house #1 rebuild**: when the bad house comes down → **U-shaped 3-story container stack, courtyard in the middle** — showroom + office + retail + housing; "show them operating businesses out of these containers" | Poly | 2026-07-27 |
|
||||
| **Haven**: Joe at Haven interested in our **tiny-home tech**; "maybe building a village Lab outpost out there at Haven" | Poly | 2026-07-27 |
|
||||
| **Angel**: lease terms "sorted it out, feels good for me to be here"; **member agreement → sell Founding Members' Circle, target $60k** ("easy and realistic"); Solarpunk launch here; her team integrates + supports the build | Angel | 2026-07-27 |
|
||||
| **Investor pitch**: Pat will present the hardware + infrastructure build numbers (Ali's electric-upgrade quotes, etc.) in a presentable form within a day or two | Pat / Poly | 2026-07-27 |
|
||||
| **Saturday small tech event**: promote us; Hakeem invites his network; programming + sell phones/laptops/memberships ("will it make money?" — "yes, it will promote us") | Poly | 2026-07-27 |
|
||||
| **Servers back up by end of day, else tomorrow** (Allen) — gating the card hardware testing | Allen | 2026-07-27 |
|
||||
|
||||
**Cross-check vs 06-DECISIONS:**
|
||||
- Confirms 7-20: out of Indra's (now "clean, fixed everything that needed to be fixed"); lease traction (7-20 said still unsigned — this is progress).
|
||||
- Continues 7-17: Hakeem partnership (now with shop equity split + affiliate terms), yellow house #2 = lab/data center, Arctec/crowdfund → now "Angor/Agora crowdfund" mention for the launch.
|
||||
- **New**: NFC card mission (October deadline) is a concrete engineering program with a named lead (Pat) — the first hard spec for the card system (7-17 only had the concept).
|
||||
- **New**: AI server resale ($60k / 6×$10k).
|
||||
- Sand battery question answered: **needs ≥2.5 MW power + 10 acres of solar** → "we'll just have to run it on solar."
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## 3. Project Links
|
||||
|
||||
- **SolLunar / SoLunar Society** (existing) → lease, cards, launch, Founding Circle
|
||||
- **Noderunner shop / Above Shop** (existing) → split: Above Phone vs Archipelago; shop Telegram; FF expansion
|
||||
- **Divine Provisions** (existing) → grocery store = front space (Radius partnership)
|
||||
- **Yellow houses** (existing) → #2 = lab house + data center + shop; #1 → U-shaped 3-story container stack + courtyard
|
||||
- **Arctec / Angor.io** (existing) → crowdfund for launch
|
||||
- **Haven** (existing) → tiny-home village outpost candidate
|
||||
- **Jonestown showroom** (new candidate) → 1 acre gifted by custom-builder rep; 4-6 structures
|
||||
- **Above Phone (Hakeem)** (new candidate) → device programming revenue ($30-50/phone implied later)
|
||||
- Keynctr ([[keynctr 1]]) — not mentioned; **Avi present (2 lines)**
|
||||
|
||||
## 4. Knowledge
|
||||
|
||||
- **Pat** = accounting lead, **on-site ~2 weeks**, then heads to France ("I get to use it all in France, so it's a win-win"); needs defined communication channels to keep the ball rolling after departure.
|
||||
- **250 NFC cards already exist**; the door is "just to make the space ready for SolLunar Society."
|
||||
- **Card UX**: enter vestibule → public opens front door; internal door = tap (maybe + PIN) → unlock; get a card → programmed → membership card for anywhere; ATM fills balance (cash in); tap to pay.
|
||||
- **Network**: Ubiquity has "a bad packet service that passes them back to Ubiquity"; Poly: OK until something better; Allen to look into WRT.
|
||||
- **AI server**: $56k cost (Ali's number) → $60k price; 6 × $10k = shared lab server for individuals.
|
||||
- **Above Phone economics**: "$800 for a device that's $200 to us"; Graphene+, some security pre-config; "he's doing it the right way; tip of the hat to his optimization."
|
||||
- **Hakeem** has been on **3 episodes of "Grand Theft World"** (Avi's line) — [LOW CONFIDENCE: exact show name garbled].
|
||||
- **Tiny homes**: ÖÖD House = Swedish mirror-clad premium; custom builder = 30-45 days installed, any size/shape, cheap; Jonestown acre = showroom land (4-6 structures: AWG, composting toilets, GeoGRO).
|
||||
- **Sand battery minimum**: 2.5 MW + 10 acres solar.
|
||||
- **NOSTR "Bit Escrow"** exists → Bitcoin-share contracts buildable.
|
||||
- **IOU accounting**: "Most debt we've taken on has been in the form of an IOU. **Like Avi has a lot of transactions.**" — Lab484 historical debt = IOUs; forensic accounting + post-dating is the plan.
|
||||
- **Forensic accounting** for the Lab is on the table ("we can make agreements all day of the amounts that are owed").
|
||||
- **Angel**: lease terms feel good; Founding Circle $60k "easy and realistic"; Solarpunk team integrates.
|
||||
- **Haven**: Joe interested in tiny-home tech; possible Lab village outpost.
|
||||
- **Fridays 11:00** = accounting staff walk-through (stage 11:30).
|
||||
- **Zaza's membership software** not yet discussed here (comes up 8-10).
|
||||
- **Accounting logins**: Blaze was setting it up weeks ago; some people have access; server was down.
|
||||
|
||||
## 5. Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
- **Servers down (again)** — fix: Allen, EOD or tomorrow; gates all card hardware testing.
|
||||
- **Card system can't wait on locks** (also raised 8-10) — fix: prototype uses existing locks + add readers; "work but not break the bank."
|
||||
- **Pat's departure (2 weeks → France)** — fix: budget proposal today; define communication channels + handoff so it keeps rolling.
|
||||
- **Network unreliability** — fix: interim Ubiquity; Allen to investigate (WRT).
|
||||
- **Accounting is "hard to go backwards"** — fix: start processes now as investment lands; NOSTR Bit Escrow for equity; forensic Lab accounting; post-date IOUs.
|
||||
- **Feedback loop missing** (tools built, no user feedback) — fix: the 11:30 walk-through event = everyone taps along; capture demand → fixes.
|
||||
- **Payment processor missing** — fix: comes up 8-10 (Square + autopay).
|
||||
|
||||
## 6. Open Questions
|
||||
|
||||
- Who exactly are the card-system investors and what do they want from their investment? (Pat's open question for Poly)
|
||||
- Will the lease actually sign (traction "yesterday")?
|
||||
- What does the investor pitch look like (PowerPoint? slide show?) — Angel unsure; Pat owns the numbers.
|
||||
- Who finances the Jonestown showroom ("Vince"?)?
|
||||
- Will the AI server find 6 × $10k buyers?
|
||||
- Is Above Shop at Fast Friends confirmed?
|
||||
- What's the plan for Pat's post-France communication channel?
|
||||
- Who is "Nick" (ATM/vending) and when is that conversation?
|
||||
|
||||
## 7. Gaps
|
||||
|
||||
- **October card prototype**: no milestone breakdown, no owner per component (door locks, chip reverse-engineering, ATM integration).
|
||||
- **Card investor identity**: explicitly unknown in the room.
|
||||
- **Jonestown showroom**: no financier, no schedule, no financing terms.
|
||||
- **AI server buyers**: no named prospects.
|
||||
- **Yellow-house design**: "not yet" — no owner, no date.
|
||||
- **Accounting logins**: no confirmation everyone has them.
|
||||
- **Sand battery**: closed with a requirement, no decision on pursuing.
|
||||
|
||||
## 8. My Follow-Ups (Avi)
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Avi's IOUs are in the accounting record**: Poly told Pat "most debt we've taken on has been in the form of an IOU — like Avi has a lot of transactions." Expect Kyle's accounting session (8-14 confirms this program) — **bring all receipts/transaction history before the session**. This is the one item where Avi is directly on the books.
|
||||
2. **NFC card mission (October)**: the bridge from back-end to NFC programming is the stated gap ("we have all the back-end software; we just need to bridge the gap to program NFC cards"). If Avi's programming work (praised at 8-14) is relevant, this is the natural surface — but **no assignment to Avi in this meeting** [INFERRED offer].
|
||||
3. **AI server resale ($60k, 6×$10k)**: Ali gave the cost; no sales owner named.
|
||||
4. Adjacent: server uptime (Allen) is gating card testing — hardware ops, not explicitly Avi's.
|
||||
|
||||
## Email Summary
|
||||
|
||||
7-27 opened with the Indra's exit confirmed (clean, everything fixed) and lease traction, then pivoted to the two programs that define the next month: SolLunar Society launch and the NFC membership-card mission. Pat, the accounting lead on-site for two weeks before France, owns the card budget proposal and the October working-prototype target — 250 cards already exist, the vestibule door gets tap-to-unlock (existing locks plus readers for the prototype, custom chips later), and the card becomes the payment rail for the ATM, vending, food trucks, and even a $1.25 bathroom tap. The card is also a product: anyone brands their own cards but interoperates with our system, Solarpunk is the first partner, and festivals/locations follow. Angel has the member agreement and a $60k Founding Circle target; the Noderunner shop splits Above Phone vs Archipelago with Hakeem, Eliza, and Asif (25% each, Poly's share to the Trust), the grocery store takes the front space, and the $56k AI server gets a $60k resale (six $10k buyers = shared lab server). Houston brought two tiny-home manufacturers (Swedish mirror-clad ÖÖD plus a 30-45-day custom builder) and a gifted acre in Jonestown for a showroom; the yellow-house rebuild becomes a U-shaped 3-story container stack with a courtyard; and accounting gets its first walk-through Friday at 11:30, with NOSTR "Bit Escrow" as the path to Bitcoin-share contracts and a forensic pass over the Lab's IOU history — which, Poly noted, includes a lot of Avi's transactions.

# SolLunar Team Meeting — 2026-08-10 (Readout)
|
||||
|
||||
Launch-planning meeting. **Haven (new, "Temple Builder" at Solarpunk) attends first meeting.** Lease still pending; membership management named the biggest blocker.
|
||||
|
||||
## 1. Decisions
|
||||
|
||||
| decision | who | date |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| **Jessie runs the co-op (Divine Provisions)** — ex co-op food worker; new to team | Poly | 2026-08-10 |
|
||||
| **Haven = Temple Builder at Solarpunk** — "responsible for creating all the vibes, what it feels like there, visually and energetically" | Angel | 2026-08-10 |
|
||||
| **Lease path**: waiting on **Ben** (didn't see Poly's Friday message) for the info needed to get the lease → pay deposit → **2 free months of rent as runway** | Poly | 2026-08-10 |
|
||||
| **Ideal launch: ~1 week after Solarpunk Summit** (a few days to a week) | Angel | 2026-08-10 |
|
||||
| **Biggest pre-launch item = membership management & payment** — "as long as we can manage members, we're OK" | Angel | 2026-08-10 |
|
||||
| **Solarpunk Sessions**: branded content, 1/week, reestablish relationships with leaders/workshop facilitators; under the Sapien Center until launch; Mimi (Maison Palo Santo) event **Sept 1** on the books (not yet calendared) | Angel | 2026-08-10 |
|
||||
| **Workshop application / sovereign tech**: Jay working on making it seamless ("the basis for a lot of things we do"); **contingency plan = "more sovereign but established system" for the short term** | Angel / Jay | 2026-08-10 |
|
||||
| **Nextcloud** (German company, open source; the only open-source analog to AWS/Google features) — keep using it (documents, calendar); "it was terrible in the beginning; it gets better over time"; Archipelago is working with it; dual-use OK | Poly / Angel | 2026-08-10 |
|
||||
| **Form results problem**: form → spreadsheet not auto-updating (manual = unreasonable); Jay: there's a **re-sync button, "we could hack our way around it"**; **Poly will build simple software to display results** ("not a hard thing to do") — quote to follow | Jay / Poly | 2026-08-10 |
|
||||
| **Membership plan**: build the full system in ~2 months; **contingency portal if it's not ready** | Angel | 2026-08-10 |
|
||||
| **Zaza's membership software**: Jay to **audit + demo** it against a needs list; **login via NPUB (public key)**; **cards are NOT the bottleneck** — "I can program NFC stickers and put them on anything"; **membership currently runs off Nextcloud**; Zaza's website tracks it but info stored privately on Nextcloud | Jay / Poly / Angel | 2026-08-10 |
|
||||
| **Minimum membership system (now)**: admin memberships + signup form that makes the card + payments — "super simple, the basics of what we need" | Angel / Poly | 2026-08-10 |
|
||||
| **Payment processor**: **Square** (Poly's recommendation); must be a **new SolLunar account**; **autopayments** needed — Square can do it (Steph: her former non-profit did recurring monthly/annual on Stripe) | Poly / Steph | 2026-08-10 |
|
||||
| **Launch comms (Angel, this week, once lease ink is dry)**: message about what SolLunar Society is + **pre-signup application**; **crowdfund (Agora?) or Kickstarter-style pledging**; target **20 founder-circle memberships**; send **broadly** (not just community — "a lot more money in tech than earth stewardship"); position as **anchor space** + access to the whole L484 multi-location network; needs a video + message; assume lease signed in days, end of week at latest | Angel | 2026-08-10 |
|
||||
| **Launch space plan (first meeting)**: Angel + Poly + Haven drop in → decide spaces (Noderunner, co-working, gym) → then larger input; **branding: colors, dark/bright, look** | Angel / Haven | 2026-08-10 |
|
||||
| **Minimum-viable launch changes**: new signage + change Sapien Center so it looks different + a way to get members in + "painting the space from whatever the dead color is" | Angel | 2026-08-10 |
|
||||
| **Budget**: planning with **$100k**; **$20k in Founding Circle** covers the needed changes; "working budget / rapidly achievable budget" framing (Haven); **Haven: initial vibe project with what we already have** — "I can just say 'I'm going to get $15k for that'" (Angel) | Angel / Haven | 2026-08-10 |
|
||||
| **Haven's involvement**: design, fabrication, installation — "at whatever level of involvement you need"; can work with whoever's interested; "very collaborative" | Haven | 2026-08-10 |
|
||||
| **Grass**: mow before launch; the (Aesthetic's?) mower broke; Poly buys a weed whacker + pays someone else | Poly | 2026-08-10 |
|
||||
| **Rental agreements for all parties**: **LOIs first** (show demand — "if we get 10 LOIs, we can show demand"; e.g. Ashley's company), then rental agreements once we have the lease; e.g. Aesthetic Church writes one that converts when terms fulfilled | Poly / Angel | 2026-08-10 |
|
||||
| **Divine Provisions structure**: **create the LLC**; new shelving (7-Eleven style along the wall); use existing refrigeration (move meat to the front big freezer; 3 fridges in the yellow houses + big one → stock room); **6 fridges worth of space**; **pre-purchased at first, shopping later**; Jessie gets members' orders; fridges fill/empty weekly; later new fridges; checkout kiosk by the window; produce space | Jessie / Poly / Angel | 2026-08-10 |
|
||||
| **Co-op access control**: members talk to Jessie, she gets their stuff | Poly | 2026-08-10 |
|
||||
| **Membership policy + onboarding package needed** ("You can do this, not that"; PMA...) — Jay: "good to agree on some stuff sooner rather than later"; Jay happy to pass off 3-4 months of collected members to new members | Jay / Angel / Poly | 2026-08-10 |
|
||||
| **Members sold even while closed** — people pay **$350/month for tech support**; lots of repeat/issue work (Jay) | Jay / Poly | 2026-08-10 |
|
||||
| **Shop open day 1**: only need to physically move stuff + time; front-room shelves reinstalled in back room (temporary until glass cases); "on the walls"; **self-serve: checkout kiosk + Bitcoin ATM** + a person to facilitate conversation; **3 laptops sold this week** | Poly | 2026-08-10 |
|
||||
| **Certificate of occupancy: currently only 49 people** — options: (a) 1 big Solarpunk event/month + temporary use permit, (b) **new CO for outdoor space ~150** (avoids fire-system updates); **700 sqft tent = biggest without permits**; prefer stable structure; weatherproof cushions (buy); custom furniture buildable ("take with us"); "maybe a temporary location for 1 year" — **Blaze indicated the Trust would like to leave in a year** (owned place preferred) | Angel / Haven / Poly | 2026-08-10 |
|
||||
| **Operating agreement**: how members are honored across the different brands | Angel | 2026-08-10 |
|
||||
| **Brian's property terms**: "we're making plans with someone else's property; need to find out what the terms are with Brian on everything that's there" | Angel | 2026-08-10 |
|
||||
|
||||
**Cross-check vs 06-DECISIONS:**
|
||||
- Continues 7-27: cards as the launch backbone (now refined: NPUB login, NFC stickers, Square, Nextcloud backend); Founding Circle target refined ($20k here vs $60k at 7-27 — Angel's "raise $60k" was the circle total; $20k covers launch changes).
|
||||
- **New**: lease now gated on **Ben's info** (was Blaze/Daniel at 7-17/7-20) — chain of dependency updated.
|
||||
- **New**: CO = 49-person cap (hard constraint not seen before); outdoor CO ~150; 700 sqft tent no-permit.
|
||||
- **New**: 1-year horizon hint (Blaze/Trust want an owned place) — first explicit mention of the Trust's exit intent.
|
||||
- Consistent with 8-14 (Jessie leads Divine Provisions; Gambino separate).
|
||||
- $350/month tech-support membership = revenue fact.

## 3. Project Links
|
||||
|
||||
- **SolLunar / SoLunar Society** (existing) → launch plan, membership, CO, branding
|
||||
- **Solarpunk Summit** (existing) → launch timed ~1 week after; Sessions; Tech Day (8-17 detail)
|
||||
- **Divine Provisions** (existing) → LLC, Jessie, 7-Eleven layout
|
||||
- **Sapien / SoLunar** (existing) → lease (Ben-gated), 49-person CO, Brian's terms
|
||||
- **Zaza** (person) → membership software (audit pending)
|
||||
- **Agora (Angor.io)** (existing) → crowdfund option for launch
|
||||
- **Aesthetic Church** (tenant) → LOI candidate, lights (8-17)
|
||||
- **Haven** (person/project) → Temple Builder role; spatial design
|
||||
- Keynctr ([[keynctr 1]]) — not mentioned; Avi not in this note
|
||||
|
||||
## 4. Knowledge
|
||||
|
||||
- **Haven** (new member): Solarpunk "Temple Builder" (vibes, visual/energetic feel); brings spatial design + building expertise; first meeting 8-10 ("thanks for letting me crash the meeting"); wants transformation done BEFORE the Summit ("no one will be able to do anything the week after"); "lifehouse/lighthouse" term for the space in the dual-power community.
|
||||
- **Nextcloud**: German company; the only open-source full-feature cloud; "90% good enough" (Jay); form results need manual re-sync (hackable); membership currently runs off it; Zaza's website tracks but data stored privately on Nextcloud.
|
||||
- **NPUB login**: membership via public key — no card needed to log in.
|
||||
- **NFC stickers**: Poly can program them onto anything → cards are never the bottleneck (only labor + locks).
|
||||
- **Square**: Poly's processor pick; new SolLunar account; autopayments supported (Steph's non-profit did recurring on Stripe).
|
||||
- **CO = 49 people** currently; outdoor CO ~150 possible; **700 sqft tent** = max without permits; fire-system updates are the reason to prefer outdoor CO.
|
||||
- **Trust horizon**: "Blaze has indicated the Trust would like to leave in a year's time" — wants an owned place "because of what we've experienced"; "it's not up to them, but they would like to."
|
||||
- **$350/month** tech-support memberships were sold even while closed; repeat customers with recurring issues.
|
||||
- **3 laptops sold this week** (shop already generating revenue pre-launch).
|
||||
- **Divine Provisions layout**: 7-Eleven-style wall shelving, doors open outward, checkout kiosk by the window, produce space, Jessie as the member point of contact, weekly fridge fill/empty.
|
||||
- **6 fridges total** (3 yellow-house + big front + stock room consolidation).
|
||||
- **LOI strategy**: 10 LOIs = demonstrable community demand for investors; Ashley's company is the example tenant.
|
||||
- **Founding Circle**: 20 memberships target for launch; broad send (tech audiences > earth stewardship); anchor-space + multi-location-network pitch.
|
||||
- **Mimi / Maison Palo Santo**: event host, Sept 1.
|
||||
- **Aesthetic Church**: improvising with fabric barriers; drapery upgrade wanted (maybe under SolLunar brand).
|
||||
- **Bathe**: outdoor furniture reference (all-outdoor); Haven knows the deck builder.
|
||||
|
||||
## 5. Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
- **Lease gated on Ben** (missed Friday message) — fix: chase; everything downstream (deposit, 2 free months, launch comms) waits on it.
|
||||
- **Form → spreadsheet not auto-updating** — fix: re-sync hack now; Poly's results-display software (quote coming).
|
||||
- **Cards-as-bottleneck risk** — fix: NPUB login + NFC stickers; "we can do everything until the locks are ready."
|
||||
- **Membership system can't take 2 months** — fix: Zaza's audit/demo as contingency; Nextcloud admin as interim; Square for payments.
|
||||
- **CO 49-person cap vs launch scale** — fix: temp-use permit (1 big event/month) or outdoor CO (~150) + 700 sqft no-permit tent.
|
||||
- **Planning on someone else's property** — fix: get Brian's terms; LOIs → rental agreements.
|
||||
- **Space "dead color" / hodge-podge risk** — fix: Haven-led concept + rendering before buying; $15k minimum vibe project.
|
||||
- **Trust 1-year horizon** — fix: "let's let whatever we get be a long-term solution that can navigate whatever changes" (portable furniture, buyable cushions).
|
||||
|
||||
## 6. Open Questions
|
||||
|
||||
- Will Ben respond, and when does the lease actually sign?
|
||||
- Is Zaza's membership software complete enough for the contingency? (audit pending)
|
||||
- Square or Stripe for autopay (both claimed capable)?
|
||||
- Temp-use permit vs outdoor CO — which path?
|
||||
- What's the actual budget (Haven: "I have no idea"; Angel: planning $100k / $15k vibe)?
|
||||
- What are Brian's terms on everything in the space?
|
||||
- Who staffs the hostel/guest spaces and keeps the calendar (raised 8-14)?
|
||||
- Is the launch date fixed once the Summit date is known?
|
||||
- What does the crowdfund look like (Agora vs Kickstarter)?
|
||||
|
||||
## 7. Gaps
|
||||
|
||||
- **Lease**: still no signature, no terms, no date — now through 4 meetings (7-10, 7-20, 7-27, 8-10). The single biggest gap in the corpus.
|
||||
- **CO decision**: two options, no decision.
|
||||
- **Membership system**: three candidates (build, Zaza's, Nextcloud) with no final pick.
|
||||
- **Brand identity**: "what are our colors?" — nothing decided.
|
||||
- **Brian's terms**: unknown.
|
||||
- **Hostel operations**: calendar/staffing unresolved (8-14 confirms).
|
||||
- **Payment processor**: recommendation, not a decision.
|
||||
|
||||
## 8. My Follow-Ups (Avi)
|
||||
|
||||
1. **No direct assignment.** Avi not named in this meeting.
|
||||
2. **Form-results display software** (Poly: "not a hard thing to do") — small, well-scoped, launch-blocking; the kind of thing that sits unowned. [INFERRED — offer]
|
||||
3. **Membership contingency**: if Zaza's software fails the audit, the NPUB + Nextcloud path needs someone to wire it up. [INFERRED offer]
|
||||
4. **NFC stickers**: Poly can program them — a hands-on task that could use a second pair of hands during launch crunch. [INFERRED offer]
|
||||
|
||||
## Email Summary
|
||||
|
||||
8-10 was the launch-planning session, and it named the two things everything hangs on: the lease (waiting on Ben's missed message; deposit → 2 free months once signed) and membership management (the "biggest thing" — with a three-track answer: build the full system in two months, audit Zaza's software as contingency, and run members on Nextcloud + NPUB public-key login now, with Square as a new SolLunar account handling autopayments). Cards are explicitly not the bottleneck — Poly can put programmed NFC stickers on anything. Angel owns the launch comms: a pre-signup message, a $20k-into-$60k Founding Circle (20 memberships), an Agora or Kickstarter-style crowdfund, and a broad send positioning SolLunar as the anchor of a multi-location L484 network, timed for about a week after Solarpunk Summit. Haven (new to the team, Solarpunk's "Temple Builder") is driving the space: a $15k minimum-viable vibe project, renderings before purchases, and the minimum launch = new signage, a recolor, and a way for members to get in. Hard constraints surfaced for the first time — the certificate of occupancy caps us at 49 people (fix: temporary use permits or an outdoor ~150-person CO plus a no-permit 700 sqft tent), Brian's property terms are still unknown, and Blaze signaled the Trust wants an owned place within a year, so everything built here should be portable. Divine Provisions gets an LLC, a 7-Eleven-style layout, and Jessie at the front; LOIs (ten of them = proof of demand) become rental agreements once the lease lands; and the shop opens day 1 with self-serve checkout, the Bitcoin ATM, and three laptops already sold this week.

# SolLunar Team Meeting — 2026-08-17 (Readout)
|
||||
|
||||
Summit week-in-frame: **companion card** for the Solarpunk App, **Tech Day** (Sat, day 3) fully staffed by L484, **Kyle leads Summit tech development**, and the **Randi rent-debt deal** ($1,200/mo, 3-yr max).
|
||||
|
||||
## 1. Decisions
|
||||
|
||||
| decision | who | date |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| **Fence comes down** (Haven agreed) — it's a **lease violation**, so replace with a **wire hoop trellis + gate + hoop tunnel** (space to the left of the shed, clear of the utilities that stick out); hanging plants (real/fake undecided — Poly: "really don't want to do fake, but also don't want to do real right now") | DJay / Haven / Poly | 2026-08-17 |
|
||||
| **Angel must be in every design decision** (archway, plants, anything) — "real plants will not survive in this light"; conversation with Angel pending | Jen | 2026-08-17 |
|
||||
| **First inside-design task: Aesthetic Church string lights, criss-cross** (Angel likes it; free) | Poly | 2026-08-17 |
|
||||
| **Automatic watering = the Solarpunk answer** (no one has to water); **Ali + Rah as the master growers** — hydroponic solutions "for a fraction of the cost"; low-light plant selection required | Poly / Ali / Rah | 2026-08-17 |
|
||||
| **Garage doors: never open** — "everyone driving by can see what's in here; huge security risk" (+ temperature control) | Poly | 2026-08-17 |
|
||||
| **Angel's wall idea**: LED wallpaper (images we generated) or hanging cardboard cutouts or wire — not yet decided | Angel / Poly | 2026-08-17 |
|
||||
| **In-house art department** wanted for this work; Janelle volunteers ("she'd like to be in that department?") | Janelle | 2026-08-17 |
|
||||
| **Companion card for the Solarpunk App**: scan card at check-in → **phone notification = identity**; **secret passphrase** if phone is dead; "we can turn people away if it's clearly not them"; **decentralized privacy**; **points systems for free-market economies**; card doubles as **lead intro to SolLunar Society** (existing card → come here, pay fee, activate) | Poly | 2026-08-17 |
|
||||
| **Summit commerce**: Angel doesn't want buying/selling, but vendors always show up — **all sales through the card system** changes the feel; points create natural spend pressure; "vendors aren't chasing transactions... they focus on customer service" | Poly / Angel | 2026-08-17 |
|
||||
| **Tech Day = Saturday, day 3, most people**: 10am yoga + workshops → speakers 3pm (TED-talk format) → ends 7pm (music); **8pm: 45-min DJ set — Zaza, Johnny Buffalo, Poly**; opening panel proposed: **Angel + Poly, Jen facilitating** | Poly / Angel / Jen | 2026-08-17 |
|
||||
| **L484 manages all of Tech Day**: **Angel hires staff + volunteers through the L484 network**; **decentralized food logistics** (community kitchen orders via the app, knows when ready, **points pay**); **Angel's "SWAT team"** — incident reporting via app, someone shows up | Poly / Angel | 2026-08-17 |
|
||||
| **Summit tech development: Kyle in charge** (Poly: "I don't have time"); app progress every week | Poly / Kyle | 2026-08-17 |
|
||||
| **Poly's workshop: Digital Sovereignty 101** — the whole ecosystem; Archipelago present; **setting up a server is a big part** | Poly | 2026-08-17 |
|
||||
| **12 activations**: construction, design, fabrication, storage; **Poly raising capital**; "there's a budget in SolLunar for it" | Poly | 2026-08-17 |
|
||||
| **DJ set**: Poly working it with **Halanna from the Noderunners movie** | Poly | 2026-08-17 |
|
||||
| **Sunset activation**: Solarpunk → Lunarpunk transition; **Web5 song plays at dusk**; Lunarpunk lounge carries the vibe; **new moon = October 10**; Jen wants to collaborate | Poly / Jen | 2026-08-17 |
|
||||
| **Randi (warehouse) debt deal**: **$600 electric bill paid every 2 weeks (~$1,200/mo) until the rent is paid off**; **3 years max**; if money arrives sooner → pay the balance **minus the electric already paid**; her core worry = no income | Poly / Randi | 2026-08-17 |
|
||||
| **Randi solar push**: upside-down solar on her greenhouse; giant roof is the obvious target; **Poly + Fish will visit today** (returning books; both have solar experience); "she really wants to sell the warehouse — that's why we need to do it" | Poly / Fish | 2026-08-17 |
|
||||
| **Trent joins the bootcamps**: full Bitcoin rabbit hole ("gone so far... I can't talk to normal people anymore"); made an intentionally insane Bitcoin video (well-received); **teaching with Poly and Stephanie (+ maybe one more)** | Poly / Trent | 2026-08-17 |
|
||||
| **Trust meeting this weekend**: send communication — **every member brings a computer, installs Archipelago, demos it** | Poly | 2026-08-17 |
|
||||
| **Fish**: building non-profit **Gaian Energy Ministries** (conscious energy lifestyle education, post-solar); **offers a workshop** (energy or tea & sovereignty) — Jessie: "we'd love that" | Fish | 2026-08-17 |
|
||||
| **Data center = product**: yellow house home data center shows people what one looks like; **sell space/storage incl. enterprise**; **$60k AI server** lives there; industry context: data centers now gatekeep (credentials/LLC required) → everyone defaults to AWS | Poly | 2026-08-17 |
|
||||
|
||||
**Cross-check vs 06-DECISIONS:**
|
||||
- Continues 7-27/8-10: card mission → now a concrete Summit artifact (companion card, notification + passphrase flow, points economy, vendor rails). Tech Day ownership = new explicit scope (Sat, day 3).
|
||||
- Continues 8-14: **Kyle** — accounting program (8-14) + now Summit tech development; **$60k AI server** reconfirmed in the yellow-house data center; **Trust meeting** "coming up" (8-14) → this weekend, with Archipelago bring-your-own-computer demos.
|
||||
- New hard numbers: **Rent to Randi ≈ $1,200/mo, 3-yr max payoff**; **12 activations**; **new moon Oct 10**; DJ set 8pm 45 min; speakers 3pm; day ends 7pm.
|
||||
- **Summit date garbled** in transcript ("a month away. Month and a half — it'll be here in two days") — new moon Oct 10 is the only firm date [LOW CONFIDENCE on exact Summit dates].
|
||||
- Zaza (8-14: stepped back from groups, "exactly where I'm meant to be") → **on the 8pm DJ set** — consistent with staying involved on his own terms.
|
||||
- Aesthetic Church lights (8-14: "need a few people") → now the #1 inside-design task.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
- **Randi's warehouse** (new external) → debt deal + solar push
|
||||
- **Hope Art Park / Radiant Hearts** (existing, 8-14) → not touched here
|
||||
- Keynctr ([[keynctr 1]]) — not mentioned; Avi not in this note
|
||||
|
||||
## 4. Knowledge
|
||||
|
||||
- **Companion card spec (v1)**: card scan → push notification on phone = identity check; passphrase fallback; decentralized privacy; points for free-market economies; card = SolLunar Society entry point (pay fee to activate existing cards at the space).
|
||||
- **Tech Day program**: 10am yoga + workshops; 3pm speakers (TED style); 7pm music; 8pm DJ set (Zaza, Johnny Buffalo, Poly, 45 min).
|
||||
- **New moon: October 10** — Lunarpunk anchor date.
|
||||
- **Randi**: warehouse owner; no income (worried about it); upside-down solar panels on her greenhouse; wants to sell the warehouse; debt = ~$1,200/mo via electric-bill payments, 3-yr max.
|
||||
- **Trent**: Bitcoin-obsessed local; made an intentionally obscure "insane" Bitcoin video; wants a job; now bootcamp co-instructor (Poly + Stephanie).
|
||||
- **Fish**: tea ceremony host (Gu shu cha — red caramelized tea from 300+ yr trees; Yunnan = Pu-erh origin; "choose and remember your teacup"; parasympathetic effects; theobromine/EGCG/polyphenols); building **Gaian Energy Ministries** non-profit; both he and Poly have solar experience.
|
||||
- **Data-center industry context**: data centers gatekeep (credentials/LLC required) → default is AWS; the yellow-house home data center is the counter-example and a product (sell space/storage, enterprise incl.).
|
||||
- **$60k AI server** confirmed sitting in the yellow-house data center (8-14 resale plan).
|
||||
- **12 activations** = the Summit build-out number.
|
||||
- **Ali + Rah** = the grower pair for hydroponics.
|
||||
- **Zaza, Johnny Buffalo, Poly** = the 8pm DJ lineup (Johnny Buffalo new to the corpus).
|
||||
- **Halanna** = Noderunners movie (new to corpus).
|
||||
- **Janelle** wants an in-house art department (and a seat in it).
|
||||
- **Security rule**: garage doors never open (line of sight + temperature).
|
||||
- **Meeting culture note**: "Great job, TEAm." + the recurring "Who's Poly?" humor (Poly split into multiple speakers in transcript).
|
||||
|
||||
## 5. Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
- **Fence = lease violation** — fix: trellis + gate + hoop tunnel in the compliant spot (left of shed, clear of utilities).
|
||||
- **Real plants won't survive the light** — fix: automatic/hydroponic watering (Ali + Rah) + careful low-light species.
|
||||
- **Identity without phones** — fix: passphrase fallback on the companion card.
|
||||
- **Vendor chaos at Summit (no sales wanted)** — fix: card-rail commerce + points (spend pressure, service focus).
|
||||
- **Incident response at scale** — fix: Angel's SWAT team + app-based reporting.
|
||||
- **Data-center onboarding gatekeeping** — fix: the yellow house demonstrates the home-data-center path; sell storage.
|
||||
- **Rent debt (Randi)** — fix: $600/2-wk electric payments, 3-yr max cap, prepay option; solar on her roof to cut the bill she's most worried about.
|
||||
- **Poly bandwidth (tech dev + DJ set + workshop + activations + capital)** — fix: Kyle takes Summit tech dev.
|
||||
|
||||
## 6. Open Questions
|
||||
|
||||
- Exact Summit dates (transcript garbled: "a month away / month and a half / here in two days")?
|
||||
- Will Angel's design conversation change the trellis/plant/archway plan?
|
||||
- Who staffs the in-house art department (Janelle a candidate)?
|
||||
- Are the 12 activations listed anywhere (scope sheet)?
|
||||
- Will Randi take the solar conversation (and the warehouse sale question)?
|
||||
- Who is "Johnny Buffalo" (new) and what's the Noderunners movie connection?
|
||||
- Bootcamp this weekend — yes/no (Jen/Poly, after-meeting)?
|
||||
- Is the $1,200/mo figure the full rent or rent+utilities?
|
||||
|
||||
## 7. Gaps
|
||||
|
||||
- **Summit date**: not stated cleanly anywhere in the corpus yet (only new moon Oct 10 as an anchor).
|
||||
- **12 activations**: no list, no owners per unit.
|
||||
- **Companion card**: spec given, but no build owner beyond Kyle's general tech-dev remit; no test plan.
|
||||
- **Randi deal**: verbal — no written agreement referenced; no solar quote.
|
||||
- **Art department**: concept only.
|
||||
- **Points economy**: mechanics (earn rates, redemption) unspecified.
|
||||
- **SWAT team**: who exactly, on what rotation.
|
||||
|
||||
## 8. My Follow-Ups (Avi)
|
||||
|
||||
1. **No direct assignment.** Avi not named in this meeting.
|
||||
2. **Companion card app work** — the notification/passphrase/points flow is app development inside Kyle's tech-dev remit, with weekly progress expected and no named app engineer. This is the closest thing to an open Avi-shaped task in the meeting. [INFERRED offer]
|
||||
3. **SWAT incident app** — "report whatever's wrong via an app and have someone show up" is a small dispatch app; unowned. [INFERRED offer]
|
||||
4. **Trust demos** — members bring computers and install Archipelago; if any fail, someone needs to troubleshoot at the table. [INFERRED offer]
|
||||
|
||||
## Email Summary
|
||||
|
||||
8-17 framed the month through the Summit: the fence comes down (it's a lease violation) in favor of a wire hoop trellis, gate, and hoop tunnel — with every design decision routed through Angel, the Aesthetic Church's criss-cross string lights as the free first inside-design win, and Ali and Rah bringing hydroponic automatic watering for the plants that can survive the light. The companion card became a Summit artifact: scan it and your phone notifies staff (passphrase if the phone is dead), it carries decentralized privacy, it powers points-based free-market economies so Summit vendors stop chasing transactions, and it's the on-ramp to SolLunar Society membership. L484 runs all of Tech Day — Saturday, day 3, the most-attended day: 10am yoga, 3pm TED-style speakers, a proposed Angel/Poly opening panel with Jen facilitating, 7pm music, and an 8pm 45-minute DJ set from Zaza, Johnny Buffalo, and Poly, with Angel staffing it through the L484 network, the community kitchen ordering through the app and paying in points, and a SWAT team on incident apps. Kyle takes Summit tech development (Poly: "I don't have time"), Poly is planning a Digital Sovereignty 101 workshop around the Archipelago server setup, and the 12 activations enter construction/fabrication while Poly raises capital. The big financial agreement: Randi gets the electric bill paid — $600 every two weeks, about $1,200 a month, until the rent is repaid, three years maximum, with a prepay option — and Poly and Fish are going to her warehouse today with the solar pitch for that giant roof. Trent, deep in the Bitcoin rabbit hole, co-teaches bootcamps with Poly and Stephanie; the Trust meets this weekend with every member bringing a computer to install and demo Archipelago; and the sunset activation (Web5 at dusk, Lunarpunk lounge, new moon October 10) is where the sun side hands over to the moon side.

# SolLunar Team Meeting — 2026-08-24 (Readout)
|
||||
|
||||
Biggest planning meeting of the run: the 12 Solarpunk Summit activations get their
|
||||
full treatment (themes, concept ideas, sponsorship, build logistics), plus Lunarpunk
|
||||
Camp context and the emergency-response/peace-support system. Attendees include
|
||||
Poly, Gambino, DJay, Haven, Kyle, Steph, Angel (referenced). No Avi in this note.
|
||||
|
||||
## 1. DECISIONS
|
||||
|

|
||||
|
||||
## 3. PROJECT LINKS
|
||||
|
||||
- **SolLunar Society** — the acting project (card system, brick house, SolLunar programming). New project candidate for `01-PROJECTS` (not yet indexed).
|
||||
- **Solarpunk Summit 2026** — the event all of this serves. ~700-person event at **Sun's Blue Ranch, San Marcos** (river, camping, glamping, cabins). New project candidate (event, not an org).
|
||||
- **Lunarpunk Camp / Lunarpunk Lounge** — 4-day educational program Angel wants to start; lounge is one of the 7 workstreams.
|
||||
- **Lab484** — appears only implicitly here (Stephanie tracks status; Stephanie also on L484 side).
|
||||
- **Framework (computer company)** — potential sponsor contact for right-to-repair activation.
|
||||
|
||||
## 4. KNOWLEDGE
|
||||
|
||||
Durable facts worth filing to `05-KNOWLEDGE`:
|
||||
|
||||
- **The 12 Solarpunk Summit activation themes** (picked with Angel): 1. TerraPunks (healing the planet: food forests, carbon-negative concrete, algae bioreactors), 2. Energy Independence (community micro-grids, solar roof tiles, solar public transit), 3. Right to Repair + DIY/Maker (open-source 3D-printed parts, compostable packaging, fab-labs, repair cafés, CC-licensed solar schematics), 4. Eco-Arc (green walls, rooftop farms, land trusts), 5. Organic Foods (community food forests, seed saving, urban aquaponics), 6. Sovereign Tech (tech equality, open source), 7. Optionality & Agency (no gatekeeping, permissionless), 8. Decentralization (local, participatory, transparent decision-making), 9. Community: Indigenous & Traditional Knowledge (co-managed forest restoration, cultural burns), 10. Faith (knowledge of self, "divine spark"), 11. Clean Tech (sensors/AI/blockchain at neighborhood level, P2P energy trading), 12. Off-grid Tech (resilient infrastructure). Full list also in a Nextcloud doc (link in source note).
|
||||
- **Concepts floated per activation:** TerraPunks → hempcrete food-forest beds + meditation garden, plant-together activity; Energy Independence → personal energy-use calculator + supplier referral (museum-pillar-sized small install); Right to Repair → disassembled **Framework laptop** as centerpiece + junk pile of non-repairable items + tool library (Framework: ~$700 used, ~$300 repaired by Poly, upgradeable everything); Eco-Arc → natural-plaster meditation room (10-min experience); Organic Foods → vertical farm pick-your-own + smoothie bar with question-before-drink; Optionality & Agency → two-button box (both buttons same outcome) + hidden third choice + escape room ("true agency comes from within"); Decentralization → nature totem pole + **infinity mirror room** (Haven has materials; mirrored acrylic) as headliner candidate; Community → physical library bookshelf (books openable, not takeable) + QR digital library; Faith → "faith transaction" concept (the $5 burger), high-trust experiment, altar/lighthouse for emotional processing, possible burning ritual with collected notes; Clean/Off-grid Tech → (not fully worked out in meeting).
|
||||
- **Solarpunk Summit logistics:** Cabanas are hexagonal, two-story, 16 ft diameter. Lounge/activations to be hard-to-find-but-signposted (signage problem is recurring — see 8-31 note). Last year: hologram signage, big TV with rotating ads, Bitcoin poker (took a whole cabana downstairs).
|
||||
- **Sponsorship model (draft):** activation-level sponsorship ~**$1,000** (name in activation + leads routed to sponsor + on-brand takeaway/reflection + direct next-step lead); Solarpunk Summit-level sponsorship is the top tier (activation is a subset of it). Don't compete with Solarpunk's own sponsors. Sponsors get digital assets they can push to their audience before the event (Haven's point).
|
||||
- **Peace Support / emergency response:** local-wifi-only (no internet), 4-option triage app; modeled on Burn rangers; addresses known issues (people dosing too hard, children present, missing persons/items). Haven's Zendo experience: 4 shifts, 4 challenging experiences, all emotional; rangers resolved a camp's panic situation (no food/fuel, felt stranded) within an hour.
|
||||
- **Community/Indigenous framing discussion:** Poly: one board member is a chief; handshake agreements, no contracts; frame as "knowledge and wisdom" with lineage → personal expression rather than singling a culture. Haven's pushback on alignment with Indigenous cultures; Kyle: talk about how the community embodies those principles. DJay: Mongolian nomads-with-laptops image.
|
||||
- **SolLunar's stated principle for activations:** "even if we totally strike out on money, we'll build them all — worst case 12 posters."
|
||||
|
||||
## 5. TROUBLESHOOTING
|
||||
|
||||
- **Signage problem (recurring, 2nd time in a row):** last year people didn't know when things were happening; cabanas hard to find. Workaround: hologram fans (spinning LED, any image), big TV with rotating ads, programmable/reusable signage preferred over static (Haven).
|
||||
- **Volunteer drop-off:** "people say they'd like to help but don't get added to anything" (Haven has seen this before). Mitigation: visible status of the 12 installations (currently tracked with Stephanie); directed steps when people show up; chain-of-command clarity.
|
||||
- **Budget risk:** $25k total for everything. Mitigation: zero-budget delivery plan (ask community who has what — fabric, chicken wire, etc.), sponsorship offsets, posters as fallback.
|
||||
- **Pre-production culture:** Haven: historically no pre-production, show up day before and build on site. Tension with a 12-installation scope — art-build nights created as the fix.
|
||||
|
||||
## 6. OPEN QUESTIONS
|
||||
|
||||
- What does Angel want Lunarpunk Camp to be? (Poly to ask.)
|
||||
- Who exactly are the team leads per workstream? (Gambino: project = identifying the teams necessary.)
|
||||
- Which installations are the big/medium/small? (To decide at Wednesday design meeting.)
|
||||
- Who is doing volunteer coordination at the Summit level? (vs. workshop liaison — see 8-31 note.)
|
||||
- What's the footprint/constraint per installation? (Kyle asked; cabana = 16 ft hexagon is the known datum.)
|
||||
- Are security arrangements already in place for the Summit? (Gambino assumes so but unconfirmed.)
|
||||
|
||||
## 7. GAPS
|
||||
|
||||
- No due dates on most build tasks; the Wednesday design meeting is the only dated milestone.
|
||||
- Angel (vision holder, decides lounge location, runs marketing team) was **not present** — Gambino explicitly wants her input and the absent team members' gaps.
|
||||
- "Geogro" (smoothie machine?) has to get money to make 5 at a time — dependency not resolved.
|
||||
- No budget split among the 12 activations yet.
|
||||
- Ranger training for the SolLunar/L484 side is aspirational (Gambino "next year"; Haven "would love to").
|
||||
|
||||
## 8. MY FOLLOW-UPS (Avi)
|
||||
|
||||
- **None assigned to Avi in this note.** No mention of Avi.
|
||||
- Indirectly relevant if involved in SolLunar tech: the **local-wifi-only app** (4-option peace support), the **QR digital library** (locally hosted server, no internet), and the **card system / Solar Pass** — all explicitly "next week" topics (card system, food system, emergency response).
|
||||
- Watch item: the Nextcloud account-creation list in the 8-31 note (Jessie, Jeff, Jordan) — access management is a known friction point.
|
||||
|
||||
## Summary (for follow-up email)
|
||||
|
||||
SolLunar has committed to 7 Solarpunk Summit workstreams under a $25k all-in budget, anchored by 12 activation installations whose themes are set but whose station-level designs are not — a dedicated design meeting is set for Wednesday 6pm, with art-build nights starting week after next (Thursdays) and a portable/modular build philosophy (trailer-based, tourable). The session produced a concrete 5-ingredient recipe for every activation (takeaway, art centerpiece, sponsor, personal reflection, next-step invitation), a draft sponsorship model (~$1k per-activation tier vs. Summit-level tier), and the 4-option local-wifi peace-support app design. Next week covers the card system, food system, and emergency response; Angel's input (absent today) is needed on lounge location and marketing gaps.

# SolLunar Team Meeting — 2026-08-31 (Readout)
|
||||
|
||||
Lunarpunk Lounge deep-dive (location, structure, programming, access), the full
|
||||
Tech Day (Saturday) schedule, workshop lineup for Tech Day, and the sponsorship
|
||||
outreach mechanics (tiers, master list, pitch deck). Attendees: Hakeem, Jessie,
|
||||
Poly, Haven, Angel, Laura, Allen, Jen, Steph (referenced). No Avi in this note.
|
||||
|
||||
## 1. DECISIONS
|
||||
|
||||
| Decision | Who | Date |
|
||||
|---|---|---|
|
||||
| Lunarpunk Lounge location: slightly more centered, closer to stage than last year — likely cabanas **H and "Above" nearby (like the tech village)**; Angel decides finally | Angel | 2026-08-31 |
|
||||
| Lounge structure: three cabanas (8, I, H = Lab484, Above Phone, SolLunar Society) combined with tarps/curtains/aircraft cable into one mega-structure; each org keeps its cabana's program | Poly / Angel / Haven | 2026-08-31 |
|
||||
| Lounge capacity target: ~30 people who can gather; flow in and out; "hard to find" but visible and cool, with **password/scavenger-hunt access** (go to all the activations) | Poly / Hakeem | 2026-08-31 |
|
||||
| Per-cabana program split: Lab484 cabana = co-working, coffee/tea, couches, food element, upstairs tech showcase; Above cabana = ground floor Above phone, arcade upstairs (Hakeem's preference: arcade on bottom); SolLunar Society cabana = event space, tea pouring, cold plunge, mobile single-person red-light sauna | Poly / Hakeem | 2026-08-31 |
|
||||
| Lounge vibe: "coffee shop, not Homeostasis lounge" — refuge, not competing with the stage; theme like SolLunar; art on the walls | Poly | 2026-08-31 |
|
||||
| **Tech Day (Saturday) schedule:** yoga/workshops start 10am; talks 3-5pm (TED-style, 30-45 min each, end by 5pm to let stage get ready); 5-7pm open for workshops/programming off big stage; 7pm day programming ends, music starts; 8pm Solar/Lunar/Cypherpunk DJ set (45 min); other music until late | Poly | 2026-08-31 |
|
||||
| Tech Day workshops: (1) bootcamp-style overview (10 min per topic, no hands-on), (2) **Sovereign AI workshop** (Jen's idea, Poly), (3) a gentler "sovereign tech options" intro for people who don't know what sovereign means yet (Laura); naming TBD ("Sovereign Tech Options" / "Your Sovereign Tech Life") | Poly / Laura / Jen / Allen | 2026-08-31 |
|
||||
| Allen will teach a Flow workshop | Allen | 2026-08-31 |
|
||||
| Sponsorship: build a **master list** (not a pitch deck) with mock-ups for the activations in question; per-activation sponsorship ≈ **$1,000** (name in activation, leads to sponsor, on-brand takeaway/reflection, direct next-step lead); Summit-level sponsorship is the top tier (activation is a subset); don't compete with Solarpunk's own sponsors | Poly / Haven | 2026-08-31 |
|
||||
| Sponsorship outreach to start in the next couple of days — Haven already has people emailing back interested | Haven / Poly | 2026-08-31 |
|
||||
| Volunteer process: volunteers book volunteer tickets themselves at solarpunksummit.com ticketing page; Jessie is workshop liaison (NOT volunteer coordinator) | Angel / Jessie | 2026-08-31 |
|
||||
| Angel reached out to **Framework** about a laptop + Summit participation; they have a sponsorship portal | Angel / Poly | 2026-08-31 |

|
||||
## 3. PROJECT LINKS
|
||||
|
||||
- **SolLunar Society** — new project candidate for `01-PROJECTS`.
|
||||
- **Lunarpunk Lounge** — the meeting's subject; becomes a 3-cabana combined structure (Lab484 + Above + SolLunar Society).
|
||||
- **Lab484** — one of the three lounge cabanas; co-working/coffee/tech-showcase program.
|
||||
- **Above (Phone)** — the third lounge tenant; "Above not really using the cabana at all" per Hakeem (considered in layout).
|
||||
- **Solarpunk Summit 2026** — parent event (solarpunksummit.com; volunteer ticketing there).
|
||||
- **Framework** — sponsor outreach in progress.
|
||||
- **Seth Blaustein** — arcade contact (via Jeremy Champagne); Angel's warning: he "may say yes to whatever… then ghosts."
|
||||
|
||||
## 4. KNOWLEDGE
|
||||
|
||||
Durable facts for `05-KNOWLEDGE`:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Cabana assignments at the Summit:** 8 = Lab484, I = Above Phone, H = SolLunar Society (Poly's mapping); lounge likely centered near stage, "like the tech village." Cabanas are 16x16 two-story hexagons (from 8-24 note); a 20x30 tent fits ~15 people on couches gaming (Haven's photo reference); a 10x20 minimum if tent-based.
|
||||
- **Tech Day (Saturday) schedule is now fixed** — see decisions above. Talks 3-5pm, 30-45 min each; DJ set 8pm; music until late.
|
||||
- **Volunteer mechanics:** volunteers self-book via solarpunksummit.com ticketing page; some can get complimentary tickets; different lengths of commitment (Angel, hard to hear). Jessie = workshop liaison.
|
||||
- **Sponsorship tier model (concrete):** activation-level ≈ $1,000 → name in activation + lead routing + on-brand takeaway/reflection + direct next-step lead + digital assets sponsors can push pre-event; Summit-level = top tier, activation is a subset. "Even if a few sponsors opt in, it should pay for everything" (Poly).
|
||||
- **Lounge design language:** password access + scavenger hunt across activations; beanbags/totem seats/blow-up chairs (couches don't fit cabanas); games on the wide upstairs railings; hologram signage; mobile cold plunge (wish list) + mobile single-person red-light sauna (owned); "jump in the river" (Laura — the ranch has a river).
|
||||
- **Zero-budget planning principle (Haven):** plan as if budget is zero; add on as sponsorship lands; "what can we deliver with zero budget requires us to gather and acquire resources" — ask the community who has what.
|
||||
- **Seth Blaustein caution** (from Angel): he says yes to anything, then ghosts; only worth it if the idea aligns with what he's doing "in this moment."
|
||||
- **Last-year lessons:** signage complaints (people didn't know when things were happening); Bitcoin poker loved (took a whole cabana downstairs); holograms on cabanas.
|
||||
|
||||
## 5. TROUBLESHOOTING
|
||||
|
||||
- **Cabana privacy confusion:** Jessie thought cabanas were private and off-limits; Poly clarified the lounge plan uses them — signage will need to handle "restricted but accessible."
|
||||
- **Volunteer coordination unknown:** no one owns Summit-level volunteers (Jessie explicitly not). Gap to close.
|
||||
- **Seth Blaustein reliability risk:** known ghoster (Angel's experience). Workaround: only pitch aligned ideas; don't build plans on him.
|
||||
- **Naming the beginner workshop:** "bootcamp" has negative connotations (Haven); settled on "Sovereign Tech Options" / "Your Sovereign Tech Life" as candidates — still needs final name.
|
||||
- **Nextcloud onboarding friction:** Haven just got access and wasn't sure whether to upload; Poly must create accounts for Jessie, Jeff, Jordan.
|
||||
|
||||
## 6. OPEN QUESTIONS
|
||||
|
||||
- What will the lounge password be?
|
||||
- Exact panel composition for ~3pm (Jennifer interviewing whom)?
|
||||
- Who are the Tech Day speakers and what are they speaking on? (List promised "next week.")
|
||||
- Who coordinates volunteers at the Summit level?
|
||||
- Final workshop name (bootcamp overview tier).
|
||||
- Will "Above" actually use its cabana? (Hakeem: probably not — affects layout.)
|
||||
- What's on the lounge activity list Poly is cleaning up?
|
||||
|
||||
## 7. GAPS
|
||||
|
||||
- Hakeem left mid-meeting (emergency) — panel conversation deferred to ~Monday.
|
||||
- Angel's ticketing/volunteer answer was partially inaudible ("hard to hear") — details on complimentary tickets and commitment lengths unconfirmed.
|
||||
- No budget number stated for the lounge itself (the $25k overall from 8-24 is the only figure in play).
|
||||
- Steph's workshop question ("might not have all the right people here") — workshop ownership mostly unresolved outside the three named sessions.
|
||||
- No decisions on food service specifics for the lounge ("we definitely want food and drinks" — unowned).
|
||||
|
||||
## 8. MY FOLLOW-UPS (Avi)
|
||||
|
||||
- **None assigned to Avi in this note.** No mention of Avi.
|
||||
- Indirectly relevant if involved in SolLunar tech: the **tech showcase upstairs in the Lab484 cabana**, the **arcade** (computer with 500 retro games; Jessie's mini-Nintendo), and the **Nextcloud account provisioning** (Jessie, Jeff, Jordan) — all plausible tech-side touches.
|
||||
- Watch item: Hakeem's panel deferral to Monday — if Avi is in the SolLunar orbit, the panel/speaker list ("next week") is where names get locked in.
|
||||
|
||||
## Summary (for follow-up email)
|
||||
|
||||
The Lunarpunk Lounge is now concretely planned: a three-cabana combined structure (Lab484 / Above / SolLunar Society, cabanas 8/I/H) near the stage, ~30-person capacity, password + scavenger-hunt access, with each org running its own program (co-working and tech showcase, phone + arcade, and SolLunar's event space with tea, cold plunge and mobile sauna). Tech Day Saturday is scheduled end-to-end (yoga 10am, talks 3-5pm, music from 7pm, DJ set 8pm) with three workshop concepts (bootcamp overview, sovereign AI, and a beginner "sovereign tech options" session) plus Allen's Flow workshop. Sponsorship mechanics are set: a master list with mock-ups, ~$1k per-activation tier under the Summit-level tier, outreach starting within days — with Framework already engaged and Seth Blaustein flagged as a ghosting risk. Open items: volunteer coordinator, Tech Day speaker list (next week), panel details, and the lounge password.
