<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" DEFAULT="FACE"><FONT SIZE="3" POINTSIZE="12" DEFAULT="SIZE">Dear Chris,<BR>
I like to think of boscop (berlin open space cooperative) as something like an open space-learning-exchange ....community...knowing that at the center it is, like all systems, open space and learning all the time....albeit not as expressive and vibrant as I yearn for...<BR>
As I am getting ready to leave for the annual os-Learning Exchange on Jan 19 through 22 my issues are collecting and this is one I want to work on.<BR>
So if you have more background information or the rough draft of the invitation you mentioned...let me have it.<BR>
hugs<BR>
michael<BR>
By the way, got this neat book "Practice of Peace" written by the this guy with the hat, would you like a copy? Its a real bargain at 20 bucks. Might be just the right thing for your community.<BR>
