Thank you for your suggestions. I think the format does not matter much, but I can certainly help promote any focus fusion related event.
It is great that you help with leadership.
We certainly need: more people, more leaders, more events, more participation.
To achieve that I think there need to be several actions by our organisation:
1)Promotion of our organisation ant its activities
2)Making it easier to get involved
Growing a community is somewhat chicken and egg problem. People will come if there are more activities – activities will happen if there are more people.
Attracting people is a difficult issue as they don’t like advertisements or notification emails and word of mount also does not work easily with fusion.
Once you have clean/cheap/plentiful energy propulsion becomes not a serious problem. You can even produce and lift unreasonable amounts of chemical fuel up into orbit or you can produce anti matter and use that for propulsion:

The entropy of empty space is actually extremely small because you cant rearrange it any other way. The next step is singularity which is a point in space, which also has a low entropy.
Patientman, this is not a very good explanation, but think about this:the entropy of empty space is extremely low.
Generally as the scarcity of transport fuel will grow, the price for electricity is going to go up everywhere and especially in third world countries. That is expected – the poor have to pay more as their infrastructure is worse.
Note:Some of those costs will be offset towards environmental damage.
Andrew, I would suggest to contact Eric on http://lawrencevilleplasmaphysics.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=70&Itemid=88
A summary paper tracking all the inconsistencies of BB might be well accepted, although fusion power seems more important in practical terms.
Deuterium.
The proton boron I don’t think is feasible with their current budget.
Great job Dr Robinson, now you can research whatever you want 😉

There certainly is not much time
Amazing.
We certainly need volunteers for this. I will mention it in today BOD meeting and we will find a person to get in touch.
Once energy is plentiful it will probably be more cost effective to extract gold from sea water that transmute it from other elements.
Transmutation might be used for anti-matter production.
Thank you Francis, I will forward this information.
I really like one video, that has only a brief mention of DPF, but its generally very inspiring:
