WOSonOS Berlin

Lovely!  It makes me really happy that there was a real physical connection between our gathering in Australia and Berlin.  And glad that you closed the loop Brendan, for I missed you in Melbourne.

About 35 people there (but no kangaroo on the menu), and the spirit of Brian very much in the air.  Love being in the field of OSonOS gatherings far and wide.  Have a beautiful time in Berlin.  Perhaps our Czech friend Martin, who was with us in Melbourne last week, will show up there as well.
