<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dear OS community,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have been amazed and encouraged by the
incredible and incredibly rapid response to my 'crazy' video idea. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thank you to all who have corresponded either via
the list or to me personally. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So far I have definite pledges from 13 people
from 11 countries totalling US$2600, plus many more offering accommodation etc.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have now written my application for a Churchill
Fellowship and am waiting to receive referee reports to accompany that. I will
soon write up a more detailed concept - though not a detailed script - for the
project and begin to formulate an itinerary. It looks as though I will travel
from early September and the intinerary will try to include key events such
as OSonOS where possible. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am more confident than ever that the approach I
used for videoing OSonOSinOZ is the right one - it's a very OS way to get things
done and I believe it will lead to a refreshingly different 'look and feel' in
the final program/s!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Enough for now, but thanks again.</FONT></DIV>
