[OSList] Drucker conference in Vienna: "Managing Complexity"

[Michael M Pannwitz via OSList]

Dear Daniel,
before I sit down to write an E-Mail I put on my suit.
So whats this slant on suits.
I recall seeing Harrison with suit and tie in one of the first os events 
he facilitated. After that it went all downhill with hat etc.

Have a great day wherever you are
