giving north american participants a year without jetlag? <grin>
I reckognise my own thoughts here... but still the idea kept its
power to get sent around... lets look, how it behaves further...
maybe some good suggestions pop up from western hemisphere...
if we really are going to do long-term planning, i'll mention
again the potential for running 2-4 osonos events simultaneously,
spread somewhat evenly around the globe, posting and
cross-pollinating via the same online proceedings space.
it sounds good. can we try it out in some extent already this
year? perhaps not everybody succeeds to get to swenmark, but
something could be tried out for future...

actually, we have been trying out the posting of proceedings to the web,
simultaneously during the conference, since 1999 in chicago. might have
missed doing this in berlin, but mostly it's been done. only thing left
is to do it from two locations, so it's probably ripe as can be
technically... only question is whether anyone wants to play that way...

Thank You,
this is excellent and wonderful invitation, making mind to move
towards India! And it's great to think already now about what
happens next year... Reading this an idea popped into mind - what
about having the 13th OSonOS in Estonia?

Subject: OSonOSinGOA - An Invitation
Dear Friends in Open Space,
Malay and I have been reliving a moment at
the OSonOSinOZ, when we stood in a Circle
with Harrison and Peggy and knew in our
hearts that the 12th OSonOS the event would
come full circle in Goa in 2004. And we said
‘Yes’.
We are now ready to extend to the OS
Community our invitation to hold the 12th
OSonOS in Goa, on the west coast of India.
The choice of Goa seems ‘natural’ in many ways:
I understand that the name ‘Open Space
Technology’ was inspired on Goan soil.
(Harrison and Mahesh could tell us more)
Goa is a land of Open Spaces: endless
expanses of perfumed red earth and emerald
trees surrounded by white and gold stretches
of sand, along the pearly white waters of the
Arabian Sea.
The people of Goa are characteristically
‘OPEN : in Mind and Heart and Soul -- OPEN to
welcoming guests, (their hospitality is
legendary) to the Arts (great musicians,
singers, painters, folk dancers and chefs) to
the Spiritual -- Temples and Churches dot the
landscape, -- reminders of the Portuguese who
surrendered the island to India in 1961.
Should we decide that Goa is the place I have
the following recommendation on the dates
Between 26th Sept to 10th October. 2004.
Reasons:
This is a time between seasons : the Monsoon
will have just ended, to make way for the hot
sunshine of October, before the relative cool
of ‘winter’ sets in. In this in-between time,
(not too wet, not too hot, not too cool)
Hotels will be able to give us lower rates
and traveling will be easier. (Chartered
flights start arriving in Goa from UK, US and
other parts of Europe, from November to
February.)
It would be a good idea to take this
opportunity to visit other interesting places
in India. If this is planned just prior to
the Goa event, one could avail of the
extremely low Monsoon ‘Packages’ offered by
Resorts across the country, usually valid
till Sept 30th. (As we go along I could send
you the information you need, on this.)
Please let us know how you feel about this
invitation and the dates. It might seem a bit
early in the day to think of Goa, while you
are packing your bags for Denmark. We’ve done
a bit of spade work, and the earlier we can
firm up the dates, (assuming it is Goa) the
better the ‘deals’ we can negotiate. Also we
know that many of you need to set your
calendars over a year in advance.
There are so many ideas buzzing to help make
this a magnificent Celebration of the Spirit
of Open Space—come full Circle.
Please say “YES”. We are waiting to welcome
you with OPEN ARMS. And can hardly wait …..
On behalf of myself and Malay Biswas
Janet Pinto
