A little “Control Room” group to coordinate and update postings, reports, etc helps. Any good techie should have the goods. If the time-zone spread is small total realtime operation is simple. With a large spread, you do have to be a little creative. What seems to happen in those cases is that all sites go on a shared global time. A residential setting is most helpful.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>ho<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> OSList [mailto:oslist-bounces@lists.openspacetech.org] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Jake Yeager via OSList<br><b>Sent:</b> Monday, August 12, 2019 10:26 AM<br><b>To:</b> Chris Kloth<br><b>Cc:</b> Jake Yeager; World wide Open Space Technology email list<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [OSList] OST for Mission/Vision and Strategic Planning?<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal>Hey Chris,<o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks so much for your response!
