OSonOS IX, Vancouver Canada, August 18-21, 2000

[Michael M Pannwitz]

Dear Chris,
I love the way you caught the spirit of our OSonOS-journey....no
doubt aided by Laurel of Berlin fame:
-honouring our event in Canada in welcoming OSonOS IX by those that
have been holding the land for millenia...our space
-providing two and a half days for learning, play and spirit to
unfold
-giving thought to accomodate people with differing means
-telling us the dates for OSonOS IX now, enabling long range planning
-choosing warm summer after cool and windy days in Toronto, Monterey,
Chicago and Berlin
Great....I know you will impose on me for advice, support...go right
ahead. I will joyfully oblige and will joyfully let you know when I
cant be of service
love
michael


You have been asking about dates.  You wanted details.

Today, we are pleased to release both for the ninth annual Open Space
on Open Space conference, slated for Vancouver BC from August 18-21,
2001. A reception will open the conference on the evening of August
18, and the Open Space begins with a welcome from representatives of
the Musqueam Nation (upon whose traditional territory we will be
meeting) on August 19.  We will run two and a half days, wrapping up
at noon on August 21.

Details about the conference facility, and accommodations can be
found at http://www.geocities.com/chris_corrigan/osonos.html

The conference will be held in the beautiful Sty-Wet-Tan Great Hall
at the University of British Columbia's First Nations House of
Learning.  The link above contains a link to a virtual reality tour
of the facility.

We endeavour to make this conference as accessable as possible. To
that end, we have reserved a block of dorm rooms at the Univeristy at
a rate of $22/night.  Details about how to book those rooms will
appear soon.  There are more lavish accommodations on campus, ranging
from dorm rooms to full apartment suites, with nothing costing more
than $170/night.  More accommodation details can be found on the
conference home page.

Registration costs will be kept to a minimum.

Vancouver is easily accessable from North America and the Pacific
Rim, with direct flights to Japan, China, Taiwan, Malaysia,
Australia, Singapore, India and many other places.  There are six
flights a day through Los Angeles to Brazil.  Direct flights are
available from London, Frankfurt, Paris, Amsterdam, and other
Eurpoean cities.

We have chosen the summer time to take advantage of the cheap
accommodation rates at the UBC and the availability of the conference
facility.  Also, the weather in Vancouver in August is usually
exceptional, while the weather in October can only be described as
typical for a rainforest that receives 30 feet of rain per year.

Please check the web page for more details.  Offers of help may be
sent to myself or Laurel Doersam (Laurel.Doersam at caphealth.org) by
email.

We are not yet accepting registrations, nor is UBC set up at this
time for accommodation bookings.  More details will follow.

We're pretty excited here about the conference...we hope you will be
too.
