+# 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.
