SV: Circles within rectangles

Tue Dec 18 05:34:53 PST 2007

Just an idea, that might have been in the air before - haven't followed the
whole thread.
An option is to have 10 large OS-meetings á 700...maybe connect them somehow
before/during and/or after... There may be some advantages and disadvantages
with this.
Warm regards
Thomas

How about out of doors? A large tent or two?
