...feeling a bit dizzy here as os community does long-range planning... osonos13
seems quite a ways off just now and estonia seems awfully close to swenmark...
shouldn't we be sweeping through africa by then, or giving north american
participants a year without jetlag? <grin> if we really are going
to do long-term planning, i'll mention again the potential for running 2-4
osonos events simultaneously, spread somewhat evenly around the globe, posting
and cross-pollinating via the same online proceedings space. michael h<br>

I have been reliving a moment at the OSonOSinOZ, when we stood
in a Circle with Harrison and Peggy and knew in our hearts that
the 12th OSonOS the event would come full circle in <st1:place>Goa</st1:place>
in 2004. And we said ‘Yes’. </font></div>

<div class="MsoNormal"><font face="Verdana" size="2">This is
a time between seasons : the Monsoon will have just ended, to
make way for the hot sunshine of October, before the relative
cool of ‘winter’ sets in. In this in-between time, (not too wet,
not too hot, not too cool) Hotels will be able to give us lower
rates and traveling will be easier. (Chartered flights start arriving
in <st1:place>Goa</st1:place> from <st1:country-region><st1:place>UK</st1:place></st1:country-region>,
US and other parts of <st1:place>Europe</st1:place>, from November

to the Goa event, one could avail of the extremely low Monsoon
‘Packages’ offered by Resorts across the country, usually valid till

while you are packing your bags for <st1:country-region><st1:place>Denmark</st1:place></st1:country-region>.
We’ve done a bit of spade work, and the earlier we can firm up
the dates, (assuming it is <st1:place>Goa</st1:place>) the better
the ‘deals’ we can negotiate.<span style=""> </span>Also
we know that many of you need to set your calendars over a year
