[OSList] Tension growing

Wed Mar 13 12:27:11 PDT 2013

Peggy : I have like 8 people in the comite .I told them that there is not
to much to do durint the OS and that want they can do is just to
participate as any body else. Their are anxious because they think of to
many details like moving chairs, or setting the rooms, ...
I understand but it is not useful at all.
