I nominate the Seattle-area Practice of Peace conference in November 2003.

I nominate the 2,000+ OS that Peggy Holman held space for in Bogota,
Colombia in 2004.

I nominate the 2,000+ OS held in, I think, Germany, in 2004.

I nominate the Girl Scout event "held" by Christine Whitney Sanchez and,
gosh, I'm blanking the name of her brilliant partner. . .

I nominate the debut of OS Online software developed by our own Gabriela
Ender. . . maybe for a special category about leverage.  Gabriela is soft
and quiet and her awesome online OS software is one of those brilliant soft
changes that can change the world.  In nominating this 'event' for an OS
Oscar, I acknowledge that small, soft, quiet change can change the world.
