[OSList] preparing an Osonos

[Koos de Heer]

Hi Eleder, 

 

I always like to end an OS on a half day. For some reason, thinking about
the future in terms of action planning and the like works much better in the
morning. It is something with the biorhythm of the people I guess. 

 

For an OSonOS, the shortest I could think of would be 2,5 days. 3,5 would be
even better. But that may be just me, I just love the different perception
of time that I get in a somewhat longer OS.

 

I would have definitely have a clear theme, but not very focused, make sure
it is inviting to folks with different backgrounds and interests. One of my
teachers calls it “sexy and vague”. A theme like that generally works best
to draw and inspire people.

 

Great initiative, I wish you all the luck and love in the world with it.

 

Koos

How are you, my friend?


We are meeting the day after tomorrow to prepare the first Osonos in our
region, near Bilbao, Basque Country,... (expected to happen next Autumn,
most potential participants Basque and/or Spanish speakers,... we´ll let you
know).

I just mailed the message to remember it to more than 150 people, some of
which are taking part in the organization, others will be just attending the
Osonos. In this group of +150 there are practitioners, participants,
sponsors,...whatever,... all of them passionate about OS.

My question now. I´ve read the text that Lisa recommend for people who
invite for Wosonos,...

Apart from reading this text again, is there something specific you would
recommend to the convener an Osonos?

Related to the invitation? What is your opinion on defining a specific topic
or leaving the space more open?

What about the length? 1, 1´5, 2, 2´5 days? Your experience on it?

thanks for your views,

love,

Eleder
