PRE-INVITATION IXX WOSonOS CHILE 2011

[JL Walker B.]

(Let see if this second intent don't goes with graphic errors. Sorry but 
we are expecting learning how to manage this ingrate issue of post with 
quality to the OSLIST.)   

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 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 defferent places as sites for our encounter - this has been 
an interesting point and the conversations 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:

Open Space and also to Mia Konstantinidou & Michael Pannwitz (jr.) without
