OSonSO Proceedings - Day 2, Part 1

[Chris Corrigan]

Lisa's session on space invaders was remarkable. We had a session on this 
topic at OSonOS IX in Vancouver in 2001, at which time I banished the term 
from my vocabulary. Lisa's process for the discussion in Halifax invited us 
into a very deep exploration of inner space and outer space and annoyance 
and comfort. It was a rich session pregnant with deliberation and insight.
