<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=940550008-30062003>Hi
Gabi and all</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=940550008-30062003>Just a
brief reply. The last years the international OSonOS´s have been organized
Aug-Nov, if we continue to choose dates on that part of the year Jan-June should
be fine for those regional ones "who care". The Scandinavian OSonOS has taken
place twice during Scandinavian Spring. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=940550008-30062003>By the
way there are about 50 registerered participants from all over (including under)
for OSonOS in August, still space for many more...</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#000080 face=Verdana size=2>Dear friends and
colleagues,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 face=Verdana size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 face=Verdana size=2>via this way I want to thank the
organizer team around Jo Toepfer, the facilitator Michael Pannwitz, son of
Michael M, and all colleagues who toke part for this wonderful 1. Berliner
OSonOS! It was really great!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 face=Verdana size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 face=Verdana size=2>I want to share with you one
aspect. I think, that arranging regional OSonOS´s is a natural self-organized
development of the worldwide growing OST community. After my first regional
experience I must say YES, this is a very good and important step in order to
support a close colleague exchange in and around a region. It really feels
different, when people say good bye after a regional OSonOS. Many new action
plans were made, dates were fixed, and people are inspired to meet again soon
without high costs. This event is an important step for the "Berliner OST
Region" as the bridgde between West & East Europe! </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 face=Verdana size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 face=Verdana size=2>I am writing this to you, because
I see the local developments as THE result of our wonderful worldwide
OSonOS´s. Most of us, do not swim in money. It takes a lot of effort to
travel around the world and to take a whole week in order to participate in
the annual OSonOS. My concern is a bit, that if the dates of regional OsonOS´s
are to close to the worldwide events ... it could have the effect, that some,
especially the new OST colleagues around the world focused much more on the
local events.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 face=Verdana size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 face=Verdana size=2>What do think about my
suggestion, to arrange the local OsonOS events worldwide in a time distance of
about six month to the international meetings? Could that be a possible
"given" in our self-organized community? As a gift to the history of
OSonOS and as an appreciation to the hosts of the worldwide events.
</FONT><FONT color=#000080 face=Verdana size=2>I heard from Michael M, that
Thomas, Eiwor and Gerdard, the organizers of the upcoming
OsonOS have only about 22 registrations. I am very sure, that many more
people will come, but I am thinking about a possible correlation between the
Berliner Event and the upcoming bigger thing. I do not know .... it is just a
thought.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 face=Verdana size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 face=Verdana size=2>And what are your thoughts, dear
colleagues?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 face=Verdana size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 face=Verdana size=2>Thank you very much in
advance!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000080 face=Verdana size=2>With warmest greetings from
Berlin </FONT></DIV>
