I've just skimmed through the last several months of postings and find myself sitting here with a big silly grin. It's really amazing how vibrant and alive and connected everyone here still is. A real testament to what naturally happens when we self-organize. :)</span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:13.5pt'>Two things bring me back here. One is that I recently came across a book of our conversation on the oslistserve that I compiled in 2002. The book is a little more than 300 pages and contains the remarkable conversation that unfolded here in the days from 8-25-01 until 9-27-01. Really. We created over 300 pages of conversation in the span of one month. We had a lot to say as we watched the world change on 9-11. I still count that experience as one of the highlights of my life.</span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:13.5pt'>The name I gave to this compilation is A Partial Diary of the Collective Buddha. I included a bit of art to dress it up, put things in order, cleaned up the formatting and had it coil-bound with a cover to protect it. I like it a lot. For me, this book is a treasure. So much was felt and shared here, so many of us were so heart-moved. </span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:13.5pt'>I long ago lost track of whatever computer I was using in 2002, so this copy is pretty much what I have. But still, I have this. I wonder if it would be worthwhile to take what I have back to the copy shop where I could cut off the binding and scan all the pages into a pdf document that I could then share. Is this something anyone is interested in having? If there is interest, I will find out more about how to make this available. Whether you are interested in the book or not, I look forward to hearing from you! </span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:13.5pt'>The second reason I came back is to learn more about the ways in which Open Space is being used in virtual space. I'm pondering an open space event that serves a global community that doesn't have the capacity to get together in the same physical room. We are quite adept, however, at holding meetings in which we are connected in some combination of face-to-face, audio, and video conferencing. I know a bit of this has been done already, and I'm eager to learn from those who have done it. Can someone please point me to who I might connect with about this? Many thanks!</span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:13.5pt'>Much love ~~~~~</span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:13.5pt'>Julie</span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></div></body></html>
