<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> website thank you's, updates,
invites...</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>hello all, <BR><BR>this just to report a bit on progress at <A
href="http://www.openspaceworld.org">www.openspaceworld.org</A> this last
year. please spread the word as you're able, links in websites and email
signatures and such. every link helps. and now... <BR><BR>FIRST, a
big thanks to those who've made financial contributions! ...brian
rogers, elwin guild, agneta setterwell, tim lannan, siona van dijk, sheila
isakson, at least one anonymous donor, and osi-usa are the ones who paid the
bills to keep all those pixels lit last year. <BR><BR>AND another big thanks
to everyone who has posted photos of open space events at <A
href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tags/openspacetech">www.flickr.com/photos/tags/openspacetech</A>
...we have collected almost 2400 pictures in the last year! <BR><BR>And a very
special thank you to Ted Ernst, Chris Corrigan, Ashley Cooper, Wendy
Farmer-O'Neill, Doug Germann, and Raffi Aftandelian, and Christy Lee-Engel
who've helped keep the blog going this year -- and did some really great work
in conference calls and experimental blogging to create an administrative
structure for the site that is the beginning of my being able to turn over the
technical keys to the community at large. More on that as the year goes
on, I reckon.<BR><BR>Thanks, too, to Esther Matte, who has just finished a new
French translation of my Working in Open Space: A Guided Tour article.
That will be posted later this week. Check the weblog at <A
href="http://www.openspaceworld.org/news">www.openspaceworld.org/news</A> or
the French section of the site for the link.<BR><BR>THIS YEAR... we have also
made it easier to find info on OSonOS events, added a couple of podcast
recordings of openings, blogged some juicy bits from the OSLIST, added new
links to places like the WorldMap and WorldScape, cleaned up the
ResourcesArchives... <BR><BR>AND we have opened a new space for your comments
about the site, a single page where general comments can be posted, events
announced, news reported, blog items submitted for posting, as well as
specific comments about individual blog posts can also be skimmed. so
this year we will collect comments! <A
href="http://www.openspaceworld.org/news/comments">www.openspaceworld.org/news/comments</A><BR><BR>AND
we've been making more and more links to OST practitioners you might never
have heard of, but who are indeed out there opening space and blogging about
it elsewhere. Ted's been keeping an eye on technorati blog search engine
and posting links in the blog.<BR><BR>AND there have been some rumblings about
starting a series of conference call forums, as well. Find Ashley Cooper
if you'd like to help that get started. Chris Corrigan has been talking
about doing individual interviews for some years now... so if you see him
someplace, give him a nudge on that one. <BR><BR>AND we've done some
sprucing of the bookstore along the way too, the latest update being the
addition of Peggy Holman's 2d edition Change Handbook which is now on sale at
<A
href="http://www.openspaceworld.org/bookstore">www.openspaceworld.org/bookstore</A>
<BR><BR>SO... please do have a look at what's happening at <A
href="http://www.openspaceworld.org">www.openspaceworld.org</A> ...and buy
Peggy's book ...and post some comments to things... <BR><BR>Maybe this
year we can even move some of our juicier questions and conversations out
where others can see them easier, in blog posts and comments at <A
href="http://www.openspaceworld.org">www.openspaceworld.org</A> . Maybe
we'll figure out how to have an OSonOS in the Weblog!<BR><BR>Finally, please
let me know if you want to join the blog posting team, we probably have room
to take on a few more this year. <BR><BR>Next updates, if needed, might
come later this year, maybe April or May... <BR><BR>Many Thanks and Happy New
Year, <BR><BR>Michael<BR><BR><BR><BR>...geez, I didn't realize how much
happened this year... and I guess i got excited... i busted right out of
lowercase!<BR><BR><BR><BR>-- <BR><BR>Michael Herman<BR>Michael Herman
