<BR>I wanted to relay an experience I had regarding the theme. I was working
<BR>with a group of educators who decided to do OS. The theme was crafted by the
<BR>invitor and myself. When we got to the actual OS event, it was clear that we
<BR>had missed the mark. We then took some time to have the group develop the
<BR>theme. It was a good experience and it gave all the participants ownership
<BR>of what they were doing. It should also add that this was a small group of
<BR>around 20 people, which lent to being able to do this without taking up much
<BR>time.

<BR>Thanks,
