you mean by “a longish meeting.” When Michael Pannwitz and I did
the 2108 German Shrinks we had no tables or chairs. And if it is Open Space you
wouldn’t have tables anyhow, I hope. We used the sort of pads they give
out for football (Soccer) games. Everybody just sat on the pad on the floor. But
that was just during the opening and closing parts – which meant they
were not on the floor for all that long – maybe 1 hour and a bit for the
opening and an hour for the close. </span></font></p>

people do with all their stuff?  This group will be laden with artifacts
