Hello John<BR>
<BR>
I keep a very warm memory of you in Berlin. I share your concern with people<BR>
who live in poor circumstances and who have not enough funds to travel<BR>
around the world. I also share the idea of we going to them (the south)<BR>
instead of asking them to come to us.<BR>
Maybe we could find possibilities of an OSonOS in the south in 2002. Why not<BR>
in Africa? Senegal? Morocco?<BR>
Why not an OSon OS in two or more languages? <I>Si on veut comprendre l'autre<BR>
le coeur trouvera le chemin.<BR>
</I>Do we have to wait untill there are enough practinioners in a certain<BR>
region to chose for that place? No, the moment there are a few people who<BR>
want this idea come true and take the responsability, it can become reality.<BR>
I am in to work with you on networking, looking for possibilities, gathering<BR>
information, ...<BR>
<BR>
Read you, hear you, see you<BR>
