openspaceworld.org update

[Christy Lee-Engel]

Hi Harold,

I have just read your
entry<http://www.openspaceworld.org/cgi/netwiki.cgi?HaroldShinsato>on
the "Who's Coming?" page for the upcoming Leadership
in a Self-Organizing
World<http://www.openspaceworld.org/cgi/netwiki.cgi?SelfOrganizingWorld>and
am looking forward to meeting you. And wanted to let you know that at
least 4 of the folks who have helped Michael over the years with admin of
openspaceworld.org will be at LSOW (Ted Ernst, Chris Corrigan, Ashley Cooper
and me) (did I miss anyone?) so let's see what conversations bubble up about
the site and what next.

My little blurb is
here<http://www.openspaceworld.org/cgi/netwiki.cgi?ChristyLeeEngel>;
and did you see that one of the authors you referred to in the most recent
post on your own blog, Gervase Bush, is exactly the person listed right
before you in the alphabetical list of Who's Coming? I love that.

See you soon!
Christy
