just wondering now... what if the 'international osonos' actually took place in several countries at once?
those who wished to travel could do so, sewing us together. those who could not travel far, could meet someplace in their own continent or country. maybe there'd even be an online osonos at the same time for those not travelling anywhere. everyone could access all the notes online, including beforehand as some of us were discussing earlier. that way everyone could decide where to go to meet up with the ones they wanted. why not? of course there is this business of the folks who meet up from all different countries, the stories of having 12 or 15 countries represented. but of course how many of our clients have said... 'oh my' to open space when they find out that not everyone will hear the same stuff at the same time? why not have an open season on osonos's? anyone with real passion could convene a local one and post the notes into the central proceedings repository, probably in many languages. and what if somebody decided to post some skype sessions that could include participants from several osonos's at once, some no doubt up in the middle of the night someplace? i tried to instigate such a thing way back in marysville, australia, without success. so we went to sweden. but maybe the time is still coming when this community will learn to have many osonos gatherings going at once rather than everyone having to travel to just one each year. speaking of irresitable offers, how long can this community resist doing more than one conference at once, given what we are out there preaching and practicing about simultaneous working sessions? :-) michaelh On 1/15/07, Thomas Herrmann <tho...@openspaceconsulting.com> wrote:
Dear Tree and all As to my understanding – Michael and his collegues are working on a proposal we cannot resist. Personally I think it is a good idea to have the International OSonOS 2008 in North America so I hope there will be another proposal we cannot resist in Kiev! And I guess the decision will be made there by whoever shows up. I do look forward to coming to an International OSOnOS in Berlin whenever the community thinks it´s the right time. It sure seems like a strong community there! Great to feel the energy building up… Warmest regards Thomas Herrmann ------------------------------ *Från:* OSLIST [mailto:osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu] *För *Tree Fitzpatrick *Skickat:* den 15 januari 2007 04:27 *Till:* osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu *Ämne:* Re: Michael Pannwitz's comment about OSonOS 2008 in Berlin As someone based in N.

I sure hope 2008 is NOT in Europe, Michael, and I am sorry to read that that might be the plan. I have also heard of a plan to have OSonOS in Northern California and Jerusalem. Surely it has not been decided that the international OSonOS 2008 will be in Berlin?!
