The stammtisch is first of all, for you yourself, yes<br> <br> 2. So, pick your favorite place (restaurant, Bar, whatever) where you like the food and drinks and invite everyone (you might try the first Monday evening of every odd month)and go there. If nobody comes, you had a great time at your favorite haunt and some unobstructed time for you<br> <br> 3. But, alas, people will show up because they like the idea of meeting you, talking (maybe) about open space and coming to an event that has only a starting time<br> <br> 4. Talk to the owner (of course, you know him well) and advise him that you are coming and that there may be some more people, he will like that<br> <br> 5. Send an email about a week before the stammtisch inviting people to join ... this mail should go to the list so that people passing through NY will drop in and, it should go to all New Yorkers (if all of you guys in New York include yourself in the worldmap, it will be a breeze for Scott to invite you<br> (By the way, at this point, 51 of the thousands of osworkers in the USA have included themselves in the worldmap, that makes for an average of one per State, a grand start! %1 is exactly the number of people listed for Berlin...about 20 to 40 % of them show up at the stammtisch.<br> (Here is the link for including yourself<br> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8x;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> <a href="http://www.michaelmpannwitz.de/index.php?id=198" target="_blank">http://www.michaelmpannwitz.de/index.php?id=198</a><br> </blockquote> <br> If you go to the homepage of the map<br> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8x;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> <a href="http://www.openspaceworldmap.org/" target="_blank">http://www.openspaceworldmap.org/</a><br> </blockquote> <br> and click on Menu and then search and enter New York you will see 3 colleagues listed)<br> <br> 6.
