[OSList] Help please ~ In the invitation, how do I encourage participation in a whole multi-day event?

[Chris Weaver]

hey michael,
i like your idea of collaboratively designing an invitation & i appreciate
your offer to help ~ i'd want to have the whole sponsoring team's approval
to share their invitation across the world & don't have time to accomplish
that for this event.  next time, thinking further ahead, it could be fun.

diane & harrison - thank you for your response - i find it very helpful.
cheers,
chris
