[OSList] lecturing on OST???

[Raffi Aftandelian via OSList]

spacenik friends-
So, a friend would like to invite me to do an OST for her cultural organization. She senses, though, that before really offering to do an OST for them that they'd really feel more comfortable with me if I were to give a lecture on OST, presumably with Q&A.
This organization invites people to give lectures, so this is what they are used to.My friend's thinking is that after they see me give a lecture then they'll feel enough trust and receptivity to having an OST.
Would you be willing to give a lecture??
Your thoughts?Part of me has me thinking that it is important to meet people where they are-- and if indeed that is what they are most comfortable with, perhaps indeed start with a lecture?
