New York City

[Michael M Pannwitz]

Dear Scott,
I love the os stammtisch in Berlin and everywhere.
Here some pointers from a stammtisch-pro:

1. The stammtisch is first of all, for you yourself, yes

2. So, pick your favorite place (restaurant, Bar, whatever) where you 
like the food and drinks and invite everyone (you might try the first 
Monday evening of every odd month)and go there. If nobody comes, you had 
a great time at your favorite haunt and some unobstructed time  for you

3. But, alas, people will show up because they like the idea of meeting 
you, talking (maybe) about open space and coming to an event that has 
only a starting time

4. Talk to the owner (of course, you know him well) and advise him that 
you are coming and that there may be some more people, he will like that

5. Send an email about a week before the stammtisch inviting people to 
join ... this mail should go to the list so that people passing through 
NY will drop in and, it should go to all New Yorkers (if all of you guys 
in New York include yourself in the worldmap, it will be a breeze for 
Scott to invite you
(By the way, at this point, 51 of the thousands of osworkers in the USA 
have included themselves in the worldmap, that makes for an average of 
one per State, a grand start! %1 is exactly the number of people listed 
for Berlin...about 20 to 40 % of them show up at the stammtisch.
(Here is the link for including yourself

If you go to the homepage of the map
> http://www.openspaceworldmap.org/

and click on Menu and then search and enter New York you will see 3 
colleagues listed)

6. Send out a note to the list after the stammtisch and report the great 
stuff that happened there

Have a grand time with your stammtisch which is the most localized 
OSonOS in your neighborhood...especially when you cant go to the 
regional, national or evern worldwide events.

Greetings from Berlin
