WOSonOS - July 2008 San Francisco - Save the (general) Date(s)

Dear Lisa,
I tried a little survey among the osnicks in these parts regarding the 
preferred time for the  WOSonOS in SF. Seems there is no real broad 
preference, some like the spring, some the fall, not so many the summer 
because that is the holiday season for families with children of school 
age others like the summer, oh, gnats!
So, no real preferences.
There was, however, a broad agreement that the summer is the most 
expensive time regarding travel and accomodations limiting the chances 
for some or even lots of people.
Now, if all of those wonderfully relaxed people in the world map owing 
their inclusion fee or their annual maintenance fee would pay up and if 
some more of you on this list would accept my invitation to include 
yourself in the world map (and pay, of course) there might be enough 
money to ameliorate those high prices in the  high season.
When I will make a pitch for the 2010 WOSonOS in Berlin, it will not be 
for the summer (its too hot in Berlin anyway) but in late spring (such 
as May or June) or in the early fall (such as September or Oktober). I 
know, those are times when those wonderful sponsors give us payed work!!!
What a tough decision,
I know you will find a miracle date!

greetings from Berlin

Thank you for surveying your local OSNicks, Michael. =20

=20

When fabulous Bob Sullens asked the folks on the OSLIST who had =
preferences
for what dates, the requests came in a great stream of requests on and
off-list - and the pattern of those requests was mostly for summer - =
with
folks reporting in from all sorts of countries - so that is what =
informed
our choice.  A good number of people who responded hoped that our =
decision
would indeed be the summer so they could bring their families during =
school
vacation time.

=20

We will of course as a world community put our resources together as we =
do
each year, to help whoever has the courage and passion to ask for =
support
find the means from diverse sources to join us next year.  And you have =
been
so generous in past years, Michael, helping this and other OS events =
with
donations from the proceeds coming from the World Map, as well.  Several =
of
the Open Space Institutes have been incredibly helpful as well - and as
Access Queen, on behalf of the Askers, I thank you all.

=20

(I have paid my renewal fee for the World Map and I encourage any of you =
out
there who are on it to see if you have done so since May, which is the
renewal date, as I understand it, for many of us. Michael, you can add =
Italy
to the list of countries I have used OS in - thank you!)

=20

And everyone who is interested in coming to San Francisco next year for =
the
WOSonOS: Access Queen will be joining with the creative thoughtful work =
of
the rest of the Host Team, and others of you as well I am sure - to =
share
some ideas coming months about how you all can think of raising some of =
your
own funds from your various communities for your own or others' needs -
about how to ask other organizations or individuals who may have funds -
about other sources of support as well (think, my dear fellow OSLIST =
folks,
about additional and diverse sources that may know of for funding and do
share that with us on the OSLIST).  I know the various Open Space =
Institutes
are thinking, and many of you individuals also have creative ways each =
year
you raise funds for yourself and others (for example, past years have =
seen
OSTLIST members raise money from selling poetry, artwork or books, or
donating a percentage of the money made from a project or two).  The
registration process will also help us find out who has needs and who =
has a
little extra to share, and so on. =20

=20

And there are more things to share besides cash: homestays, buying a
registration for two and giving it to an Asker, buying a hotel room for =
two
and sharing with an Asker, ride shares, helping people who are applying =
for
visas, helping support new travelers to our countries, and more.

=20

Each year we are collectively able to help a number of Askers get to =
OSonOS
so I am excited about this same great community-supportive activity for =
the
2008 event.  I am also glad that the WOSonOS keeps shifting back and =
forth
across the world, so that people in different parts of the world are =
able to
come if not one year, then perhaps the next - as we support Open Space =
(and
each other) around the world.

=20

Lisa

=20

PS: Michael, I remember coming to Berlin in October 2000 (I think it was
October) for the WOSonOS that year - it was a lovely time of year to =
visit
Berlin.
