people who came for welcoming me so warmly in NYC. Although a pub is a noisy
place here on a Thursday night, we had really interesting conversations. Talked
about OS, of course, and several mediation or public conversation organisations

explanation of OS Stammtisch Michael M. Pannwitz, of Berlin,
Germany, provided a few months back : </span></font></p>
</div>
<div>
<p style="margin-left:35.4pt"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><br>
"A stammtisch is a regular gathering at a regular time (like every Tuesday
evening, or once a month or, as is the case with the os stammtische around the
planet, every Monday of every odd month at 7pm)where people interested in a
particular aspect of life, as for instance open space, gather for beer (other
drinks are perfectly ok) and food as everyone wishes and talk with each other
about whatever is on top of your mind regarding open space (in a broader
sense). People come and go as they find useful, some arrive at 7 pm (I usually
even earlier to secure a table and talk to the people in the pub), some as late
as 11 pm and it will usually last until well past midnight. No agenda, lots of
energy. Last stammtisch in Berlin several people came because they needed work
(in os, of course), well, they in fact found others that were looking for help.
So its networking, creating collaboration, new ideas are born, people bring
stuff for each other to look at (pictures, a couple of books of proceedings
from recent open spaces, a bottle of brandy from Kyiv, there are always a
couple of laptops to show things to each other and to write an email to another
stammtisch lets say in Kyiv or Budapest..).<br>
Often, there are also visitors from other countries passing through Berlin that
are real open space stammtisch addicts, they have heard of the Berlin one and
join. So its international, too."</span></font></p>
