Maybe it's just me, but Michael Herman's concept sounded a bit different to me than "Regional OSonOSs". I'd never go to a BOSonOS, for example, because that's about opening more space in Berlin. And the San Antonio OSonOSinUS that I did go to was about opening more space in the US, where I live. Berliner would've been welcome, of course, but the topic was about opening space in the US. So it was a regional gathering.
What I'm hearing differently in Michael Herman's idea is simultaneous, multi-site, international OSonOS in many places at once. That feels like a horse of a different color, yes? I might just show up in Berlin for that. And some Danish might show up in San Francisco. That would be cool! peace, ted On 1/18/07, Thomas Herrmann <tho...@openspaceconsulting.com> wrote:
I agree with you Lisa, to me it´s a very rich and refreshing opportunity to come to the International OSonOS each year when I can. I also think that the international community gains from having it swimming across oceans. So better bring your irresistible offer to Kiev...and we´ll see what happens. And why not plan a mid-term global-virtual-OSonOS happening in all the regions of the world - connected in faboulus ways... whoever has the passion for getting it started...go for it. Maybe for 2008 we could plan regional gatherings the same date but in that case my suggestion is, not too close to the International physical OSonOS - wherever that´s gonna be.

I have been to Halifax and loved the decision making process there ~ and "voted" for Moscow in the end. I didn't go because something else became more important to me. When I heard that in Moscow the decision was Kiev I thought: "Geographically that's pretty ("too") close ~ okay, those who cared where there and decided ~ don't complain, Marei." Last weekend I participated in the "Lernwerkstatt" in Berlin and there I heard about the plan to host the next OSonOS in Berlin and my immediate reaction was "NO, this would be incest!!" So I strongly support the tradition of having THE OSonOS moving around the world. And I can tell you, having it in Berlin would be very comfortable for me, just 2,5 hours by train. But I rather make sure the community stays intercontinental and we have rich annual OSonOSes all around the world. And regarding having international OSonOSes at the same time: In OS I love the movement of morning news / evening news (whole group) and breakout session (small groups). If it was only breakout sessions I would miss a lot. As I would with many OSonOSes all over the world. HO (meant the North American Native Indian way).
