Fringe WOSonOS in Melbourne, Australia

[Viv McWaters]

Hello OS-listers

This is a special invitation to a free Open Space event in Melbourne
on Tuesday May 11 at the Abbotsford Convent.

As you'd all be aware, the WOSonOS is in Berlin, Germany May 12 - 15.

Many of you will also be aware that Fr Brian Bainbridge (who died in
early February this year) was instrumental in the growth and
development of Open Space in Australia and New Zealand. He also
maintained the Open Space Institute, circulated regular newsletters
and trained many of us in the art and practice of Open Space
Technology. He was also well known throughout the world and attended
all but one of the last 17 World Open Space on Open Space events. He
was, of course, planning to attend the WOSonOS in Berlin.

We have decided to host a Fringe Open Space on Open Space in Melbourne
on May 11 to continue the tradition of having local Open Space on Open
Space events and to honour Brian's contribution. Fringe because it's
the day before the WOSonOS and we hope to post some pictures and
reports on the (yet to be created) new Australasian Open Space
Institute web site for those in Berlin, and elsewhere, to enjoy. It's
also an opportunity to explore the future of Open Space in Australasia
- and to do what we always do at an Open Space on Open Space: have
conversations about what matters to us, whatever that might be.

Oh, you're wondering who 'we' is? Well, it's me (Viv McWaters) and
Andrew Rixon (Australia) and Anne Pattillo (New Zealand) and Chris Corrigan
(Canada) and Johnnie Moore (UK) and Geoff Brown (Australia). So you
see it's our mini World Open Space on Open Space, and even if no-one
else comes we'll have great conversations.

But we'd love you to join us.

Date: Tuesday May 11 2010
Venue: Abbotsford Convent, 1 St Heliers Street, Abbotsford
Time: 9.30 am - 4 pm
Cost: Free
Format: Open Space

Please send me an email offlist to viv at mcwaters.com.au if you plan to
attend, or if you have any questions. That way we'll know how many
lunches to order.

Cheers

Viv (on behalf of the Open Space Institute)
