[OSList] The Art of Collaboration / Collaboratory (because Hello and a question is Maria's question)

Thu May 26 02:40:53 PDT 2016

Hi all, delighted with so much movement, chaos and confussion in Donostia,
this is pure OS! And it´s really beautiful to (partially) see what happens
on stage!

I´m offering some views and ideas now. My two cents:

First, I want to show my aprreciation and confidence on Xenki. I know this
smart and commited guy from Donosti for last 5 years or so and I know how
fond he is of collaboration and self-management. He´s participated and
helped in many OS´s with Auzolan Ekimena and others. Allways smart,
helpful, collaborative, artful, loving.

Sure, I share Xenki´s invitation for those who may like enjoying some vivid
days of colearning and collaborating around  THE ART OF COLLABORATION
<http://theartof-co.com/the-art-of-co> (23th Jun-3th July) and can afford
it. Know that people from the OS community and this list are being offered
special discounts.

Knowing more about other techniques must, sure, be interesting. And I´m
curious about the people taking part and the way it´ll develop, too. I plan
to partially take part in the ArtofCo (many other life happening at the
same time). It´ll be a good ocassion to meet other people passionate about
collaboration, self-management, co-creativity,

At least, I plan to collaborate with Ana and Beatrice on  the OS event on
the 2nd of July, too. There, Xenki, you know, all my collaboration.

Knowing that María is proposing a plan to host a 1´5 days OS (in DonOSti :)
for next autumn/winter is also great :)! We are collaborating there, too.

Everything is moving. Sweet small anxiety the weeks before. Let´s see what
happens and enjoy the trip.

best of lucks, Xenki, Maria and all the tribes around!

*pd. *My field is mainly OS. There are different views about facilitation
and techniques in the OS community, I know. I agree quite much that OS is
near the way life just is. It´s not for me just a technique (as others can
be), but a way of doing the minimal to assure for life to enter spaces
where usually we forget about some basic facts/ideas on how life goes on.

That´s why I remain quite appart (due to laziness -and fear?- too, I
suppose) from other techniques. I´ve experienced and used some of them,
too. In the end, I usually think: how would it have happened if we´d done
just OS? So, one day, maybe, we´ll have a pure OS on facilitation and
techniques. Sounds good. In the meanwhile enyjoy life! Enjoy The Art of Co
<http://theartof-co.com/the-art-of-co>, a great occassion to meet and mix
up with loving colleagues!
