Other Personal Reflections on WOSonOS 2010 in Berlin (long and final)

[Raffi Aftandelian]

artur, greetings!

I just wanted to express thanks for stepping - as i see it- into the center
of the circle and sharing more extended personal reflections on the event. I
think we all benefit when we can hear what  is of benefit and what is
difficult for one or more people in our funny community. It encourages
others to do the same.

There is much you wrote that I'd love to respond to in a face-to-face
conversation; an electronic discussion list, i think, can only meaningfully
hold and convey so much difficult emotions. 

And much of what you brought up i think cuts to the core of things in our
community that we are still trying to address, and I imagine we will never
address to everyone's satisfaction, especially considering how diverse and
geographically dispersed we are...and especially considering our internal
shared global community leadership and management system : )

also, i really resonate with harrison's (erm, re-re-re-re-re-told) story of
the precious few nanoseconds spent self-organizing the osonos by the sea.
it's such a valuable reminder.

Looking forward to eventually meeting you in person!

I bow to the berlin wosonos team (really amazed 170+ people attended!) and
good luck to the chileans (and londoners!)!

appreciatively,
Raffi

p.s. moscow 2014? and following michael herman's example we also won't
reserve a room??? : )
