Hello NYC OSers, many of whom I know and waive to fondly, and greetings to you too Esther. We look forward to your arrival. What the heck is a stammtisch anyway?

Michael,

Thank you for feeding the idea of a NYC stammtisch
and providing what it takes..
The idea appears to be taking on a life of it's own and
snowballing.
I will think about what you have shared.

Scott

Dear Scott,
I love the os stammtisch in Berlin and everywhere.
Here some pointers from a stammtisch-pro:

1. The stammtisch is first of all, for you yourself, yes

2. So, pick your favorite place (restaurant, Bar, whatever) where you like the food and drinks and invite everyone (you might try the first Monday evening of every odd month)and go there. If nobody comes, you had a great time at your favorite haunt and some unobstructed time for you

3. But, alas, people will show up because they like the idea of meeting you, talking (maybe) about open space and coming to an event that has only a starting time

4. Talk to the owner (of course, you know him well) and advise him that you are coming and that there may be some more people, he will like that

5. Send an email about a week before the stammtisch inviting people to join ... this mail should go to the list so that people passing through NY will drop in and, it should go to all New Yorkers (if all of you guys in New York include yourself in the worldmap, it will be a breeze for Scott to invite you (By the way, at this point, 51 of the thousands of osworkers in the USA have included themselves in the worldmap, that makes for an average of one per State, a grand start! %1 is exactly the number of people listed for Berlin...about 20 to 40 % of them show up at the stammtisch.
(Here is the link for including yourself
http://www.michaelmpannwitz.de/index.php?id=198

If you go to the homepage of the map
http://www.openspaceworldmap.org/

and click on Menu and then search and enter New York you will see 3 colleagues listed)

6. Send out a note to the list after the stammtisch and report the great stuff that happened there

Have a grand time with your stammtisch which is the most localized OSonOS in your neighborhood...especially when you cant go to the regional, national or evern worldwide events.

Greetings from Berlin

Laurence,
Possibly with Esther's NY arrival, we could try again to  initiate a
stammtische.

A thought for interested NY OS folks.

Who else would be interested here in the NY area?

Hi Esther,

I'm one of the NYers who's in the OS world. (I know someone at the
Canadian mission, too.)  Feel free to get in touch.

By the way, I once tried to initiate a stammtische with some others and it
didn't get off the ground here.  NY is an odd place.
