Facilitator as space-invader!

Sat Nov 17 10:19:38 PST 2007

Dear Franklin,
if your begging Lisa Heft for a slot or two for the December training
has anything to do with money, you are invited to approach the Open
Space World Map project for assistance.
In the meantime, you are invited to include yourself in the Open Space
World Map so that I can spot you next time I am on the island of 
Cebu...have a look at the other colleagues in the Philippines
> http://www.openspaceworldmap.org/

And you others out there are also invited to join the 463 os-workers 
already populating the world map
Greetings from Berlin
