Hi Eleder,
I always like to end an OS on a half day. For some reason, thinking about the future in terms of action planning and the like works much better in the morning. It is something with the biorhythm of the people I guess. For an OSonOS, the shortest I could think of would be 2,5 days. 3,5 would be even better. But that may be just me, I just love the different perception of time that I get in a somewhat longer OS. I would have definitely have a clear theme, but not very focused, make sure it is inviting to folks with different backgrounds and interests. One of my teachers calls it sexy and vague. A theme like that generally works best to draw and inspire people. Great initiative, I wish you all the luck and love in the world with it.

We are meeting the day after tomorrow to prepare the first Osonos in our region, near Bilbao, Basque Country,... (expected to happen next Autumn, most potential participants Basque and/or Spanish speakers,... we´ll let you know). I just mailed the message to remember it to more than 150 people, some of which are taking part in the organization, others will be just attending the Osonos. In this group of +150 there are practitioners, participants, sponsors,...whatever,... all of them passionate about OS. My question now. I´ve read the text that Lisa recommend for people who invite for Wosonos,... Apart from reading this text again, is there something specific you would recommend to the convener an Osonos? Related to the invitation? What is your opinion on defining a specific topic or leaving the space more open? What about the length? 1, 1´5, 2, 2´5 days? Your experience on it? thanks for your views, love, Eleder
