Thank you so much Michael for your warm and inspiring message. I will definitely be in Bilbao, and am looking forward to it. Gentza, I had read the OST user guide a few year's back but it has been a while so a good suggestion to re-read it. I will see how much I am able to commit for the Bilbao OS. For sure I'ld like to participate to the OSonOS I will have to see about the earlier session. If so yes helping preparing the space is probably a good idea. I have organised concerts before and I do appreciate the thrill of anticipation. Thank you all, JF
