Robyn--

That sounds great--can you tell us more about how your first Sustainable
September came about? Whom did you invite? How did you go about making
the invitation?

Was it a standard opening and design, or were there nips and tucks?

Thanks, Robyn for jumping in on this. I think this is a good
conversation about using OS in community. Would like to hear from others
how they have done similar things....

And I hope Kai jumps in on this, too.
