Eva -- maybe I didn't understand you -- but splitting up an OS is a sure way to kill spirit and momentum. And if the time is short, the danger is even greater. Maybe you have some killer logistical problems -- but I would work on them very hard. You could end up with a taste of OS that didn't taste so good.

I think the big amoung of participants (for the moment >200..!)is a result more of the theme than the form (OST) so to speak. The theme is roughly translated "To create involvements and commitment". >I will put a translated copy here when I come back to my own computer in a few days. So I am truly confident that there is a big passion about the theme -no need to worry there i think. My biggest concern for the moment is about logistics. And right now the sponsors are thinking about splitting it up to one breakfast meeting and one lunch meeting. I'll keep you posted of whats happening. :o) Eva > > >---- Ursprungligt meddelande ---- >Från: [email protected] >Till: [email protected] >Ämne: Ämne: Re: A taster of OST meeting on 1,5 hour >Datum: Wed, 14 Sep 2005 00:24:53 +0400 > >>Hi dear dear eva! >>Great opportunity. >>In seeing your question, I wondered something else that an OST >>"purist" might ask?
