background-color:>I am so sorry we didn't connect ! After our emails before the
meeting I was expecting you and wondering and looking out for you (but
never leaving the table...) - my assumption was that something else,
hopefully something joyful, had come along your way. </DIV>

indoor area - telling the waiter I expected 5-10 people to show up he said the
only space would be in the back. So that's where we sat.</DIV>

background-color:>Starting with 3 people our group even grew up to 10 during the
evening. Some people came long ways, some had just arrived from a long
labour day weekend journey, so we didn't get much further but introducing us to
eachother, sharing what connection and what interest we have in open space
and what we would like to talk about that night (I had brought
paper and pencils and proposed that we post topics and do something open
space-like to see what was going on in the whole group).
We never reached the moment of splitting into groups and talking
about different topics because half the crowd hat to leave early. But
what grew during the evening was a real interest to continue this
Stammtisch meeting and two volunteers (Jill and Laurence, thank you!) took
responsibility to convene the next meeting.</DIV>

background-color:>It was great to watch how the decision was made. Kurt said it
reminded him of OSonOS and talking until we all knew Moscow is the right
place for OSonOS 2006. This time we talked until we knew Stammtisch was ment to
continue and who would invite the next time.</DIV>

enjoyed the evening very much. And although I will not be a regular
participant (only because of not being in NYC) I love to know
something got started. And I will love to hear about it on this listserve.</DIV>
