OST with less than 25 words

[Michael Herman]

There are some "elevator speech" short descriptions of open space
posted on the website...
http://www.openspaceworld.org/cgi/wiki.cgi?OpenSpaceElevatorSpeeches
...not sure if any are quite as short as 25 words.

I like what peggy said the other day... taking responsibility for what
you love.  i've called it "making markets for moving people and
information."   i like what jack says, too.
