WOSonOS Berlin

[Michael M Pannwitz]

Dear Chris,
Martin did show up still aglow with his impressions from Australia and 
dove into the turmoil of 170 folks with I guess about 70 issues.
Marv and Sandra showed up for the welcome reception yesterday telling of 
having been participants in the first OSonOS in Washington DC in 1993...
Tomorrow will be Day 2 and Saturday morning it will close with Action 
Planning including, so some hope, an outlook to where WOSonOS will take 
us in the next couple of years.
happily worn out I send greetings from Berlin
