>
>
>“Wherever it happens is the right place.” A beautiful conference center in
>rural Chile where people work the land, are close to family and connect as
>community. Indeed the right place to be!
>
>Walking into the WOSonOs space so lovingly prepared was magical! The familiar
>posters, the large circle of chairs in the center of the room, five breakout
>areas some with comfy sofas and chairs, a waiting newsroom with many computers
>all lined up, water bottles arranged symmetrically on a table with a huge
>flower arrangement to the side, name tags waiting to be written, plentiful
>snacks and coffee, soft music in the background; yes indeed there was love and
>care in the preparation of this historical event. The rituals and traditions
>of Open Space that we love which seem to feel unique and new every time.
>
>A calm, a peace and a knowing that "whenever it starts will be the right time"
>permeates the room. Men and women greet each other warmly with hugs and kisses
>on the cheek, something that seems so natural here in South America. Quiet
>conversations happen in the corners of the room and a short time later,
>without a word being spoken, people find their places in the circle and all
>becomes quiet with anticipation. "Whenever it starts is the right time!"
>
>In the center of the circle, a Canelo tree stands proudly a reminder of the
>ceremony last evening by the Mapuches native people -- a symbol for them of
>communications with the gods. Many markers with blank sheets of paper neatly
>arranged waiting for topics to be written.
>
>After a few logistical announcements, recognition to the organizing committee
>and a brief reading of the good wishes from so many around the world, Juan
>Luis Walker and Karen Davis, arm and arm, as if in a dance, walk the circle,
>opening the space in Spanish and in English.
>
>It is all captured on Webcam; twitter will be part of the party; reports will
>be posted live. Hopefully many friends and colleagues in the World OS
>community will join us here filling this physical space with their virtual
>presence.
