[OSList] Please join me next week for Governance Lab!

[Suzanne Daigle via OSList]

Ben and Fyodor, feel your energy and passion. Ben you taught me the
possibilities of what I could experience virtually at a time when I could
not yet imagine it. Now I know. Fyodor, the intensity and depth of what you
write and are igniting are equally compelling. What a duo team. I can't
attend unfortunately but I urge others to follow their intuition if they
think this might interest them.
