# 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.

- **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.
