All roads take us to Santiago de Chile

Dear Harrison:

Only the Master (or the man of the hat) can make so kind, profound and
complete suggestions.

Really they let me breath and enjoy, and all of that I think is of the most
important things for me.

Thanks a lot!

Juan Luis

Juan - Chile will be Cool! And just a thought. Don't work harder than you
have to. I know you have and will be receiving great advice from multiple
good folks about what to do and how to prepare. So I'll toss in my dos pesos
(that is the limit of my Spanish J).

Having done a number of OSONOS's I know it is possible to spend an infinite
amount of time and effort. And I have never found that was necessary, or
perhaps I am just too lazy. Case in point was the last two
OSONOS-by-the-Sea. Adding everything in, I think it might have taken me 6
hours total, and I think that is an exaggeration. What made it really easy
was the location, Camden Maine. Camden is a real town that also has a large
summer community. It has a wonderful harbor and dozens of restaurants
ranging from really basic to really ritzy. Accommodations run the same gamut
from plain to pricey. To top it all off, the town is quite compact so you
can walk to everything. My tasks were as follows: 1) Pick a date. 2) Reserve
some space ( the local Episcopal Church was very forthcoming and totally
reasonable. 3) Send out the invitation via OSLIST which included the website
for the Camden Chamber of Commerce. I asked everybody who wanted to come to
let me know (register) and then make their own reservations for
accommodations (the Chamber's website had all the information and
connections). For meals, everybody was on their own.  We basically filled
out in 48 hours, and on the appointed day 75-80 people showed up from all
over. A friend picked up some doughnuts and bran muffins (homemade) for the
mornings - And space opened just like usual. We had a blast. Oh yes - the
Conference fee. I felt a little badly asking for $25 knowing it was more
than needed, but we did cover all expenses and also sent the Wonderful
Access Queen a reasonable check. That was it. And I will be willing to bet
that Chile has more than its share of wonderful towns like Camden. I would
also bet that you know most of them, and/or can easily find the rest. So
have fun and don't work too hard!

Oh yes - on the 3rd day, Ethelyn and I did invite anybody who was still in
town to come to our house for swimming, boating, and food. The party did
roll on, but that was our party and doesn't count as OSONOS.

Dear Friends,

Holding firmly with my left hand (that of the heart) one of our most
treasured symbols (the talking stick), wanted to announce now, full of
gratitude, that the next 19th WOSonOS will be held in the city of Santiago
de Chile (or somewhere near), during the month of October 2011.

It will be all our passion, creativity and responsibility, the ones that it
will make of this event a milestone of warmth, hospitality and affection
which belongs to the people of this long narrow strip of land in the
Southern Hemisphere.

In a few hours more I will leave Berlin and return to my home full of energy
and enthusiasm to begin working hard for the success of this great task.

For now just wanted to express all my joy and commitment, singing our cry
again, that so often I did in Berlin with my dear friends from all over the
world (http://vimeo.com/11757978 ):

Ceachei i, Chi!

Ele e, Le!

Chi, Chi, Chi!

Le, Le, Le!

Viva Chile!

A big hug to each and every one of you, and just be prepared to be
surprised!
