I nominate the Seattle-area Practice of Peace conference in November 2003.<br>
<br>
I nominate the 2,000+ OS that Peggy Holman held space for in Bogota, Colombia in 2004.<br>
<br>
I nominate the 2,000+ OS held in, I think, Germany, in 2004.<br>
<br>
I nominate the Girl Scout event "held" by Christine Whitney Sanchez
and, gosh, I'm blanking the name of her brilliant partner. . .<br>
<br>
I nominate the debut of OS Online software developed by our own
Gabriela Ender. . . maybe for a special category about leverage.
Gabriela is soft and quiet and her awesome online OS software is one of
those brilliant soft changes that can change the world. In
nominating this 'event' for an OS Oscar, I acknowledge that small,
soft, quiet change can change the world.<br>

2000- 2005. There can be different categories as we emerge. Top can have<br>different criteria "from changed the whole world" to changed one community's<br>world so deeply there's a lesson we can all learn from it (scientists among us

<br>photosynthesis projects for most of that time: others like Bush's Gathering<br>storm leadership circle of 21 at <a href="http://www.nap.edu">www.nap.edu</a> and the part of State of the<br>Union Speech they co-wrote appear to have only discovered death of distance as
<br>a scenario tool for opening leadership minds since last fall. But they have<br>come up with America's finest open space races for quite a while: end<br>addiction to petroleum economics and do what you can to get kids to love

<br>needs be<br><br>once we see each community's list, we can have a combined vote and then take<br>them to world service media and demand their stories be told; the British have<br>a particularly urgent need to do this as the BBC's licence gets set in stone
