class=apple-style-span><font size=3 color=black face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:12.0pt;color:black'>I have absolutely no interest in attending
the OSonOS in <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Kiev</st1:place></st1:City>
this year. I am writing to tell you why I am not interested. And I am writing
to complain that you have sent me this invitation. Where did you get my email?
You did not have my permission to use it.</span></font></span><font
color=black><span style='color:black'><br>
<br>
<span class=apple-style-span>I was disappointed that people at OSonOS in <st1:City
w:st="on">Moscow</st1:City> hijacked this important international gathering of
OS practitioners from around the world and insisted on taking the event to <st1:City
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Kiev</st1:place></st1:City> this year. The
OSonOS gathering belongs to practitioners around the world and it has norms and
traditions that you folks refused to honor when you decided to 'steal' the
event to <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Kiev</st1:place></st1:City>
this year. A key tradition of OSonOS International has been to move around the
world.</span><br>
<br>
<span class=apple-style-span>I understand that one of your organizers was very
aggressive in <st1:City w:st="on">Moscow</st1:City>, insisting on forcing
OSonOS to <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Kiev</st1:place></st1:City>.
This makes me angry and under no circumstances would I attend an event that was
demanded like this: I feel like coming would be tantamount to giving in to a
child after he had a tantrum. You folks in <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Kiev</st1:place></st1:City> were free to steal the event. . . but
you could never win my support of it.</span><br>
<br>
<span class=apple-style-span>And, parenthetically, as it happens, Raffi did
something similar at Halifax OSonOS in 2005. The group was leaning towards
having OSonOS <st1:metricconverter ProductID="2006 in" w:st="on">2006 in</st1:metricconverter>
Scotland and Raffi stood up and said "I don't care what you people want,
there is going to be an international OSonOS in Moscow this year" and the
Halifax group gave in to Raffi. I mention this because now I am wondering if
the Slavic world is littered with bullies who think that imposing their will on
people is good collaboration? </span><br>
<br>
<span class=apple-style-span>I also wonder if whoever that guy was, it was
someone from <st1:City w:st="on">Kiev</st1:City> who was in <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Moscow</st1:place></st1:City> at last year's conference, really
gives a shit about the rest of the world of OS practitioners. I wonder if this
guy realizes that senior OS practitioners all over the world have heard about
this behavior.</span><br>
<br>
<span class=apple-style-span>I venture to guess that you are going to have a
very low turnout at this event. I suspect lots of people feel the way I do,
that the conference was birthed in an atmosphere of coersion, which is NOT open
space at all, is it?</span><br>
<br>
<span class=apple-style-span>Please don't send me any more emails. I have
reported you to my email provider as spam.</span></span></font><span
