This was sent to me and to a set of "undisclosed-recipients". Since I 
did not see it on OSLIST, I am forwarding it knowing that there are a 
number of folks interested in MetaNet

For lots of reasons, we’ve been thinking about the future of MetaNet. 
   Lisa is stepping down from day to day management.  Lisa’s dream, 
which many of us share, is to find a way for MetaNet to live on forever. 
   We are not able to take that on alone.  So we are reaching out to see 
if there is a creative way one or more Metanetters could get together in 
some self-organizing kind of way and figure it out.

Since 1983, the Meta Network has built an online community dedicated to 
learning and creative freedom.  Our common goal has been to make rich 
interaction possible beyond the limits of time and space.

Today, so many social media venues grab for our attention and time.  But 
MetaNet continues to be a haven of stimulating resources and 
conversation that reaches beyond the superficiality of the latest tweet. 
We share deeply held values of candor, curiosity, cooperation, and 
creativity.


So our first hope is that you rejoin our ongoing conversation.  Please 
join us in our 2015 conference 
http://community.tmn.com/tmnr/swebsock/0032544/0828912/ANV/main/confhome.cml?8702+16+303+x+x+x+x+x 


The 2015 conference is the place to start to envision the future of 
MetaNet, and we hope that you will join that conversation.  Should we 
keep it as is, or rebuild?  Should we rejuvenate it, and branch out in 
new directions?  Should we try to identify an organization that could 
house MetaNet?

We built this community together.  Together, we can build its future.
