<DIV>Hello Lucas and everybody</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am involved in supporting the organisation of the Be the Change event in London May 19-21st <A href="http://www.bethechange.org.uk">www.bethechange.org.uk</A> Two of the main organisers are Christopher Cooke (who trained with Harrison a few years ago and a number of you may know from Spiral Dynamics) and Sir John Whitmore of Performance Coaching who has been involved with many interesting organisations including the Institute for Noetic Sciences, the Gaia Foundation and many others. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>There are some interesting speakers at this event and it will also be highly participatory. I am expecting that Open Space will be used for the 3rd day and this is still being finalised. I have held off from announcing it on this list as I wanted to be certain of the role that Open Space will play.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The organisers have an ambition that Be the Change will be a simultaneous event in 4-5 different places in 2005. They are very open to the idea of linking in with other groups and organisations. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Lucas it will be very interesting to work together on this approach.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>

Sodas<BR>http://www.ms.lt serving and organizing independent thinkers around the<BR>world. We work very much in that spirit. Perhaps we could help you<BR>with your online presence throughout the year. I share my letter with<BR>our open gateway http://groups.yahoo.com/group/minciu_sodas_EN/<BR><BR>Currently, we're organizing an Open People network<BR>http://www.primarilypublicdomain.org/2.html to focus our energy around<BR>people "working openly" in the Public Domain. We are developing an<BR>interface WOW (Working Openly WOW) to help organize "virtual flash<BR>mobs" by which we support events such as yours.<BR><BR>You might like us to provide such support, and in exchange, incorporate<BR>some of our UK participants into your event. In particular, the<BR>Espians<BR>who host WTF http://wtfcon.org might showcase their software which they<BR>will be realizing around that time. And perhaps you might promote<BR>their<BR>(and United Diversity's) event WTF 2: What's the Future!? on May
29-30<BR>in London as a follow-up venue for seizing on the energy that you<BR>spark.<BR>I think you'll find they have very similar goals.<BR><BR>I'd like to connect http://www.kind.org with our soulmates<BR>http://www.onevillage.biz who are integrating IT into holistic African<BR>villages. I'd like to connect Lynne Twist with Neil McEvoy of<BR>OnDemand-Network, who aims to leverage our strategies and resources for<BR>building large global fractal teams.<BR>http://www.ondemand-network.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=381<BR>(I share my letter with his group<BR>http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ondemand-network). I also think you<BR>might<BR>help our laboratory reach out to Islamic independent thinkers, which is<BR>important for healing the cultural rifts in our world. We'd like to<BR>know how we might best do that. Ed Daniel has put forth to us a vision<BR>"Digital community infrastructures for Iraq".<BR>http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Minciu_Sodas_AR/message/35<BR>(I share with the group we're
assembling in Arabic).<BR><BR>During your event, I'll be in Vienna, Austria for Oekonux,<BR>http://www.oekonux-conference.org, searching for a new economy for a<BR>new<BR>society inspired by the principles of open source software. I'll be<BR>giving a talk on "structuring infrastructure for virtual flash mobs".<BR>Again, we might find a way to energize each other.<BR><BR>All of this to say, please know that there are many people who care<BR>about your work, and think of us as working-in-parallel. We hope we<BR>might help each other connect with different groups of people so that<BR>we<BR>are all included.<BR><BR>Peace,<BR><BR>Andrius<BR><BR>Andrius Kulikauskas<BR>Minciu Sodas<BR>http://www.ms.lt<BR>ms@ms.lt<BR>+370 5264 5950<BR>Vilnius, Lithuania<BR><BR><BR>Chris Macrae, presumed copyright:<BR>> REAL MEETING Basically , 6 extraordinary people from the USA have<BR>> been brought over so that people can share global<BR>> challenge/responsibility experiences with them - and
