its always the same, the locals are the last to sign up!!!<br>
But it all sounds promising.<br>
<br>
I still have no place to stay and now are wondering about shortening my visit so that I could afford a hotel. However, reading about your efforts to find local colleagues as hosts for folks from abroad sounds encouraging. If someone wants to have an elderly grudge that snores and takes hours in the bathroom they can have me...<br>

Michael, yes, I just was answering you kindest messages to the list,<br>
thanks so much!<br>
<br>
Singning up i starting now, with some 15 people confirmed (though some<br>
"busy" locals, among whom I am one, haven´t yet formally signed up).<br>
And, after fixing some basics, we are starting now the "heavy" spreading.<br>
<br>
And we´ll finally probably have Lisa offering a pre-OSELE16 workshop.<br>
The plan with Yaari and Michael will work, I hope, in another time, with<br>
ERASMUS+,...<br>

Now, I also finally succeeded fixing the PayPal account. Now it works ok.<br>
<br>
And we received your money perfectly. Thanks so much.<br>

have been, maybe, some button you didn´t press to save the data or so?<br>

Dear Eleder,<br>
<br>
here is the note I sent to OSLIST (HO commented on it), just a<br>
forward of the note I sent to the 80+ that came to Paris, Sardinia<br>
and Utrecht.<br>
<br>
And, how is it going? Still eating red beans with your kids? I love<br>
red beans, especially in the vegetable version of chili con carne...<br>
of course, I also relish chili con carne!<br>
<br>
Who all signed up for the OSELE so far?<br>

<br>
Dear List,<br>
for your information the note I sent to those that turned up at the<br>
Learning Exchanges in Europe... to spread the word about this year's LEX<br>
in San Sebastian in May.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
mmp<br>
<br>
<br>
Dear os-workers who attended the European Learning Exchanges in Paris<br>
(2009), Sardinia (2011) and Utrecht (2013),<br>
<br>
after the Worldwide Open Space on Open Space (WOSonOS) took place in<br>
Belgrade (2014) and in Krakow (2015) it will be outside of Europe in<br>
Manila this year... Great opportunity for another European Exchange<br>
in 2016.<br>
<br>
Colleagues in the Basque Country on the Iberian Peninsula have invited<br>
os-workers to gather in San Sebastian /Donostia for the 4th LEX in<br>
Europe May 10 through 13.<br>
<br>
Here is the link to the invitation, yes, it is long but it works:<br>
<a href="https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=sites&srcid=ZGVmYXVsdGRvbWFpbnxvcGVuc3BhY2VnaWxhZ3VuYWt8Z3g6NWJlYmUwMTViNmJlYjdiOQ" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=sites&srcid=ZGVmYXVsdGRvbWFpbnxvcGVuc3BhY2VnaWxhZ3VuYWt8Z3g6NWJlYmUwMTViNmJlYjdiOQ</a><br>
<br>
Although the focus is on os-workers in Europe, folks from other parts of<br>
our planet are known to have attended in the past.<br>
<br>
Living in Berlin I am in the midst of what feels like one huge intense<br>
open space. Of course, open space has been around all the time but<br>
presently conditions in Berlin and Germany and I imagine in all of<br>
Europe and beyond for the unfolding of selforganisation are perfect: A<br>
mighty "business issue", unusually high complexity, very diverse actors,<br>
conflict at all levels, no one seeming to have an answer which everyone<br>
is urgently looking for... and endless numbers of people working<br>
together in thousands of places at the edge of the emerging what ever.<br>
Its still fuzzy, governments and politicians seem helpless... undaunted<br>
by all that people are positioning themselves way ahead of experts,<br>
think tanks, the media, elected representatives, the churches, the<br>
European Commision... experiencing a glimpse of the transforming<br>
society.<br>
<br>
It will not have ceased or been solved by May... I signed up.<br>
<br>
Greetings from Berlin<br>
