meta about invitation

 * start with the design and how it's delivered so that we cut through the noise
 * video embedded in an email? kind of boring
 * something 3d that's physically delivered to someone
 * face to face
 * a pop-up card that's so tall it's surprising
 * a video would be amazing but how do we deliver it?
 * written on a block of concrete

what changes if we think about inviting people to the next meeting, or having a conversation about that?

 * If we think about the next meeting, or a meeting a month from now, what do we need to do to have 20-25 people in the room for a short open space meeting, first of a series?
 * gets us out of the planning into the doing
 * personal invitations
 * use What are we here for?
 * rather than needing to plan out agenda items and such, the whole effort can shift into open space mode
 * first invitations to a curated list from each of us
