## 3. Project Links

- **L484** (the lab) — no matching 01-PROJECTS note → **new project candidate**
- **Archipelago** (mesh network product + location) → **new project candidate**
- **Syntropy** (Kaleb's healthcare/spiritual practice) → **new project candidate**
- **Food Truck** (member signup vehicle) → sub-track of L484, no project note
- Keynctr ([[keynctr 1]]) — not mentioned in this meeting

## 4. Knowledge

- SxSW 2026 was a major success: 3 Archipelago pre-sales (customers meeting with Poly), 50–60 contacts wanting to partner/place nodes, Robert has Mexico mesh-network partnership leads.
- Food truck: ~180 members with contact info now capturable for CRM (most auto-populated at signup).
- A NOSTR-based Bitcoin ATM exists (found by Shadrach or similar) [LOW CONFIDENCE on who].
- Archipelago "trifecta": make sales, fund open-source development, and keep the hardware company out of jeopardy if Archipelago were deemed illegal — "we're just selling hardware."
- Enterprise local-AI machine: $55k purchase last week for a client with ~15 years of AI-agent notes; his problem was public AI systems needing resets, wasting time rebuilding agents. He will host his own local AI with us; machine expected to arrive Saturday (≈3-21).
- Trust structure principle: "If people have money and power, it still doesn't count for anything in the lab and trust structure. No one can gain control over us."
- Security watch: Keith (possibly a federal agent) is "blowing up" Ryan; Poly and Robert handling. A visitor works in "the super secret air force program" — treat as ordinary client, tread lightly.
- Tiny homes getting insulation and sheet rock; shipping fumble resolved; time to start selling Archipelago houses.
- Archipelago software: ~1 month of debugging until it can be released on the internet.
- Blaze & Amber: PMA agreements with all members coming soon; LLCs per property; trust by-laws being finished; more event signage (private party vs Archipelago) and situation-training planned.

## 5. Troubleshooting

- **Safari signup form fails unless phone is in portrait mode** — users who don't tilt their phone lose the signup. Fix path: pass to Zaza to debug; interim workaround: have a person verbally tell people to tilt their phone.
- **Food-truck help arrives in bursts** ("too many cooks in the kitchen") — Jay needs to define explicit roles so the right help shows up at the right time; Farmer Sam is the standing backup.
- **Water at events**: currently dumping water everywhere; city permitting close; EPA liability for water issues would fall to Brian, not the lab (per Poly) [LOW CONFIDENCE — verbal claim].

## 6. Open Questions

- Will Syntropy need to switch rooms? (Poly) — no answer recorded.
- Who is the person wanting to give us a "rasha"; what space would that require? (Yannik may be the route)
- How do we check leads? → answered same meeting: Monday, all contacts on the table (Allen, SuiteCRM).
- Will Soundcamp want an Archipelago booth instead of mesh setup? (Poly open to it)
- What does decentralized healthcare look like? (Kaleb wants visionary help)

## 7. Gaps

- Alanna's marketing takeover was announced **without her present and without talking to her** — decision made without the relevant person.
- Archipelago internet release ("one month of debugging") has **no named owner**.
- Food-truck role definitions not yet written (Jay: "when I can say here are the roles…").
- Water/permitting: no committed owner (Dave only "expressed desire").
- Keith's identity and intent unresolved; no recorded plan beyond "Poly and Robert are dealing with it."
- Coda acquisition: no terms, no timeline, no named decision path.

## 8. My Follow-Ups (Avi)

- **None directly assigned in this meeting.** (Avi is not mentioned.)
- Adjacent: the enterprise AI machine arriving ≈3-21 is the kind of hardware that may intersect with Avi's Keynctr work [INFERRED — no explicit link in the note].

## Email Summary

Team meeting 3/20 recaps a strong SxSW: Solarpunk Summit partnership restored, 3 Archipelago pre-sales, ~50–60 node-partner contacts, and 180 food-truck members ready for CRM import. Alanna takes over Archipelago marketing, golden tickets continue for private events, and Amber will draft an individual contract per team member. Open items needing owners: the Archipelago internet release (one month of debugging, no owner), food-truck roles and the Safari signup bug (to Zaza), and event water/permitting (Dave interested). Watch items: a possibly-federal-agent contact (Keith) being handled by Poly and Robert, and the Coda acquisition talks with Robert and Pete.
