[OSList] Four-Day Virtual OSonOS in July

Tue Jul 7 15:33:12 PDT 2015

Hello out there to everyone in the Open Space World,

Tomorrow is the big day. I am travelling and will miss the opening on my
Time Zone but I will stay up late somehow to connect in another time zone.
Today I meandered on the site and it felt so welcoming, exciting,
informative, invitational and more. The quality of the technology that
Lucas created, even though I haven't experienced it yet, seems so
promising. I look forward to connecting with familiar faces and meeting new
people. Thank you Michael again and Lucas.  I simply can't believe all that
you've done...for us...for Open Space Technology.

Soon the virtual adventure begins!  Hoping many decide to stop in!
