[OSList] The OST Invite: seeking creative solutions with less than 4 weeks

[Harrison Owen via OSList]

Dan - if the issue is critical, tomorrow morning will do - and "normal
channels" will do the job. Normal Channels being all the usual way folks
communicate issues and concerns. Could be at the coffee pot, Facebook,
Twitter... whatever. If they care, they will communicate. And if they don't
care...Why bother?

Subject: [OSList] The OST Invite: seeking creative solutions with less than
4 weeks

 

I am asking for help. Will you help me figure out if the following is
effective? 


Background:

I have a OST client who wants to get the OST Invite out there with just 27
calendar days to go...on a Friday! There are not many (if any) ways for the
Sponsor to send it sooner...

Ouch. I'm not fond of this idea. 

I explained that 6 weeks was best and 4 was really pushing it, at the start
of the conversation about doing the OST event. 

Today I offered these "creative" suggestions (ugly hacks?) to patch this
less-than-30-days situation:



<SUGGESTIONS>

I also suggest that we get the handbills out there, in the public areas, and
put this link on it:
http://www.openspaceworld.org/

I suggest we also send out a pre-Invitation 'save the date' email with just
a little info and a link, and get those handbills out there, these actions
will get it out there into the ecosystem and allow us to make use of the
full 4 weeks. 

....these ideas, and any other ideas you have for talking it up and getting
it out there are probably good ideas now. Before we act let's chat tomorrow
about this OK?

</SUGGESTIONS>



I am asking for help. 

Do these 2 non-standard ideas work OK in your view? 

Or am I making a mockery of the OST process by doing this? Are these "ugly
hacks?"

Is this OST heresy, or a good-enough idea? 

I welcome your replies! 

Sincerely,
Daniel
