[OSList] a fresh look at the meeting "agenda"

[Michael M Pannwitz]

Dear Raffi, as I was reading through Rosa's post I was reminded of what 
became everyday practice in the organisation of a client who has used 
OST repeatedly in the classical form:
---no more meetings except for the annual os-gathering (with voluntary 
attendance, of course) and a face-to-face one hour jour fix once a month 
for whoever wants to come
---meetings do take place when someone feels that they need to meet with 
whoever to work on whatever issue
---such meetings can be documented

A detailed report of how all this came about and  means for the 
organisation and its environment and its network will be available as a 
German-English-Polish ebook by the middle of March.

As you can imagine, I will let you all know when its up.

Greetings from Berlin
