The Seasteading Institute November 2009 Newsletter
At the Seasteading 2009 Conference, we were excited to unveil our new medium-term strategy, which we’ve dubbed The Poseidon Project. By 2015, TSI will create an independent seasteading community as the seed for the world’s first ocean city-state.
Conference & Ephemerisle are over
The website & blogs have been quiet because we’ve been very busy (obviously) with the conference & Ephemerisle, James & I just got back last night. I suspect this will be a bit of a decompression week for us, so don’t expect to hear much this week either, but I’ll try to get some links and roundups posted when I can.
Final Reminder: Second Annual Seasteading Conference & First-Ever Ephemerisle Festival!
We’d like to remind everyone of our upcoming Second Annual Conference and First-Ever Ephemerisle Festival, where the far-flung seasteading community will gather in person to explore the theory and practice of seasteading.
The Art Of Ephemerisle
Here’s a quick preview of the art projects that have been awarded Ephemerisle grants so far:
Exercise Ball Platform by Kipp McMichael and Trea Grillo
A triangular-shaped floating platform buoyed by 12 x 65cm exercise balls. One side of the triangle will be docked to the main festival platform.
Conference & Ephemerisle Updates
The first Ephemerisle Newsletter can be found over at the Ephemerisle blog, and here’s our first conference update:
Deadlines Approaching
The deadline for early registration for the conference is September 13th, at which point rates will increase.
Misc Updates
This is sort of a mini-newsletter, since this is a busy time of year for us I wanted to give you some updates.
Conference
Since opening registration last week, we’ve had conference signups from as far away as Germany.
Why Ephemerisle Matters To Seasteading
Seasteading is creating permanent dwellings on the ocean – homesteading the high seas. For a brief intro to seasteading, click here.
This post is being written to supplement our announcement of the First Annual Ephemerisle Festival. Some people may wonder why Ephemerisle is an important initiative for seasteading, and why it is worth devoting some of our limited resources to.
Ephemerisle precedents
Now that it’s scheduled (Oct 2-4), I’ve been talking to many people about Ephemerisle – my idea for a festival of boats and platforms in international waters.
