PRE-INVITATION IXX WOSonOS CHILE 2011

[JL Walker]

Dear OPEN SPACE COMMUNITY,

The Chilean community greets you and wishes to share with you some of the
work we have been able to accomplish towards our yearly encounter WOSonOS
Chile 2011.

There are 18 people in Chile who facilitate and have some kind of experience
with Open Space Technology. Many of them are motivated to participate in
next year’s event. Among those 19, there are 7 of us who have been working
and acting with passion and responsibility as the host team. Last Friday we
celebrated a month of getting together to design and just like a child we
have become strong and robust in the process.

Some of the things we have been working on are: creating a mailing list for
this team called CHOSonOS (Chile Open Space on Open Space); we have also
evaluated different place as sites for our encounter – this has been an
interesting point and the conversation has gone from having an “urban
meeting”- downtown Santiago where the participants would have to find
accommodation with our help or a “residential one” - at a nearby town
outside of the city center where we would be together. Our challenge is to
choose the best possible option balancing price and quality so as to have an
attractive and numerous WOSonOS.

While we finalize our invitation, which will be posted on our webpage in the
near future, we would like to share some of our work up to now:

EVENTS NAME: IXX WOSonOS Chile 2011

DATES: October 19TH through 22ND 2011

HOST TEAM: Jorge Amigo; Laura Matamala; Virginia Molina; Claudia Raffo;
Pilar Torres; Pablo Villoch and Juan Luis Walker.

OTHER COLLABORATORS: Juana Anguita; Johann Bórquez; Marco Fernández; Isabel
de la Maza; Álvaro Ramírez; Isabel Rodríguez; Fernando Rouliez; Sergio
Spoerer and Carlos Vignolo.

PURPOSE STATEMENT: Fully aware of the relevance of having for the first time
in Latin America and Chile this yearly event, we strongly believe in its
influence on institutions, organizations - public and private –regional
communities and realize this will be the platform to enlarge our local and
regional network of practitioners. These new additions to our network of
facilitators will contribute to democratic and highly participative
processes which are at the bases of an effective development of countries in
these latitudes. 

We hope to have you as active participants in our first ever Latin American
WOSonOS 2011.

The Chilean Host team WOSonOS Chile 2011.

On a very special note we would like to express our gratitude to Lisa Heft,
Veronique Santos; Artur Silva and Gail West for all their support and the
information they have shared for the improvement and creation of this
invitation. We make this extensive to other members of this beautiful
community. They have shared their wisdom and experience as hosts of previous
WOSonOS, we appreciate their suggestions and generosity. To Shufang Tsai for
sending the web archives from Taiwan’s experience, to Karen Davis for being
the first person from whom many of us learned about Open Space and also to
Mia Konstantinidou & Michael Pannwitz (Jr.) without whose warm welcome and
first steps in Berlin none of this would have been possible.
