Dear OS Friends,</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=093472922-20052006><FONT face="Book Antiqua" color=#008080>I'm
in conversation with a potential sponsor for a large 1.5 day OS event next
October, the purpose of which is to connect people for self-organized community
action (non-specific at this point). The crowd is expected to be folks who
live and work in a metro area and who may have a tenuous connection through one
of several sponsoring organizations - but who have not had such a large scale
experience with other members of their community.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=093472922-20052006><FONT face="Book Antiqua" color=#008080>The
planning team is meeting in a week or so where the sponsor will pitch
the idea. She's pretty convinced that OST is the way to go but has the
familiar concern that people who don't work together or are not part of an
intact group can often come up with fabulous ideas that peter out quickly or
never go anywhere at all. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=093472922-20052006><FONT face="Book Antiqua"
color=#008080>Among other things, I would like to offer the planning team a
collection of especially generative convening questions from similar events
that resulted in new action groups forming and concrete contributions
to a community. </FONT></SPAN><SPAN class=093472922-20052006><FONT
face="Book Antiqua" color=#008080>Any links to similar OS events would also
be very helpful. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=093472922-20052006><FONT face="Book Antiqua" color=#008080>I'll
compile the responses and feed them back by the end of next
week. Thanks in advance for your help.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
