[OSList] what convergence after 3 OS events ?

Hi Christine 

> I like Chris’ suggestion with one addition. I would invite the conveners and anyone else who cares to attend.

«anyone else who cares» is an interesting concept in this company : they all care ! And they also all care a lot about cost ;)  They may come from all over the country and for many of them their participation may have a direct impact on the turnover
This may give interesting conversations but is not easy to plan with this system.

This would be based on the idea that the ones who call conversations are seeing something that can contribute to the whole

They are on a market that is completely changing those days and they have a very ambitious goal with acquisitions (at the time the OS will take place, there will be 200 people more in the company, and they are invited) and diversification. They have begun looking for new markets and hope to continue that with the OS. So their expectations are huge : new organizational models for a new company, new projects, new synergies, hopefully a new management model.
