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"></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"></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"></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.
