Dear friends<br><br>sharing my tears - i remember the vivid good arguments we had at the last WOSONOS with Brian sharing his wisdom on hosting and facilitating open space without added "action planning" with another design - "NOT shutting down the space!" I so much enjoy his passion. And i am sure he will be present at the WOSONOS in Berlin in many ways - and still i miss him already.<br>
<br>PS: and we had a lot of fun like running around in Taipei with Pavel and climming the 101 to enjoy the sunset - and i remember the shock when he disappeared for one night in Kiev... and i had just enjoyed his newsletter early this morning - i am glad i will get to tell and listen to more stories at our boscop meeting with my dear colleagues here coming up at 10 am<br>
<br>much love & peace to all of you<br><br>Michael jr<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Feb 2, 2010 at 8:22 AM, Viv McWaters <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:viv@thereef.com.au">viv@thereef.com.au</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I am in such shock right now and very, very sad. Brian has been a dear friend, and mentor for many years and we have been working and playing together since the early 1990s. Most recently we offered Open Space Training here in Melbourne, usually once or twice a year. In fact, we were trying to get dates sorted for this coming March. Brian would often come and have dinner with us here at Bells Beach. We'd share food, wine and stories. We travelled together to WOSonOS events in Vancouver, Goa and San Francisco, and hosted WOsonOS in the now destroyed town of Marysville. Brian went to as many OSonOs events as he could and always kept me up-to-date with all of the OS community shenanigans. I have so many great memories of Brian I don't even know where to start. I will keep you informed of details regarding the funeral.<br>
