comment about OSonOS 2008 in Berlin<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>what if the decision-making process was simply about picking a single
week of the year in which osonos would be perhaps permanently fixed?
<BR><BR>then, within that timeframe, anyone could convene an osonos anywhere in
the world. all of the locations would have an opening, a bulletin board,
and a marketplace. all of the issues and notes would be posted online in
the same place. and all of the topics from everywhere posted on the wall
in each place. <BR><BR>when 100+ people gather for two days, nobody can go
to every group or meet all the people, but it's still informative to read
the whole of the wall. so everybody could meet wherever was best for
them. some would travel far and cross-pollinate. some would travel
near and perhaps get involved in more local actions. <BR><BR>the whole of
it together would be *the* international osonos, simultanteously global and
local. if you want a european hug, go to a gathering in europe. if
you're strapped for cash or time, go local, host somethign small where you are,
or just visit online. what a great thing that anyone globally could
convene an osonos gathering and be able for just a few days share issues and
notes printed out from all over the world on their own little local wall.
might not get a german or australian or canadian or whatever sort of hug is
exotic to you, but maybe get a good local hug after a good discussion of an
issue raised 1/2 way around the world! <BR><BR>then, regional and local
gatherings would be everything else, through out the world and throughout the
year. <BR><BR>mh<BR><BR><BR><BR>

OSonOS's I have come to love and cherish them very much! It is soooo important
– at least for me – to see the people I "talk to" here on the list – the
energy in face to face meeting and talking can never occur in an online
meeting. I know that for myself it was much easier to "speak out" on this list
after have seen some of you in my first OSonOS in Denmark a few years ago, and
after that I was kind of home – wanting to go to them all – and so I have –
except from Moscow. Planning to go to Kiev though. </SPAN></FONT></P>

that rhythm. And that we have THE OSonOS once a year. There will always be
regional, local, national OSonOS's and that's fine – could be a great
compliment or input to the big one – I know that's how we think about our
Scandinavian OSonOS that will be in Sweden this year.</SPAN></FONT></P>

overseas travel is more difficult now that I have some severe diet

voting process that lets those of us who are unable to be physically present
participate in choosing the next location. I'm delighted that the
Ukraine has such a thriving OS community, and that they enthusiastically
invited us there. But for myself, I am disappointed to have the annual
gathering two years in a row in locations which present some big challenges
for me. I'd like to see us return the the idea we proposed when we first
moved OSONOS away from North America--to move from continent to continent, to
include local participants from many regions and to make the travel easier for
a different group each time.<BR><BR>Regional OSONOS and internet connections
are great, but a face to face, worldwide OSONOS is something very
