I hope the same that we can do both international and local events face to face:-). And I do hope that they will not compete with each other i.e. so that we dont prioritize the international OSonOSs. For me it is SO important to be able to see, meet and talk to you - whoever comes :-) - and get a person a face a deeper connection behind the name and signature on the list! That is one important thing I think that makes this community alive - even though we always seems to discuss whether we are a community or not on these occasions
And yes there are not all of us there but of course whoever comes . is in place, and whatever happens as well. So even if we do take decisions but we just take one no? Where to go next year and even there the law will rule (if you go there I mean) We do have local OSonOS by local we decided that is Scandinavia and we have placed our Scandinavian OSonOS in the beginning of summer this year 16-17 of June somewhere in Denmark I believe. And that makes a perfect time to meet and maybe prepare for the international OSonOS later in summer/fall. So my fear is that you all guys over there in the big continent will be so content with your own OSonOS that you wont come to the international ones and that I absolutely dont want to happen! That would be a disaster I believe My two cents (ören)!

I saw pictures of Istanbul's snowy weather on the news, Funda, and thought of you! Enjoy - we're all about that wintery snow in Canada :-) although it's been unseasonably warm here! Glory :-) ----- Original Message ----- From: Funda Oral <mailto:[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, January 25, 2006 2:21 AM Subject: Re: OSONOS Hither and Yon (a little on the long side) "I plead for keep the flag very high for THE ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL OSONOS, and of course to enable as much as possible other OSONOS´s local and around the globe. Warmly, Gabriela" I can not keep the flag that high for now, but i agree that more exchanges among cultures are needed, diversity is more joyful and more enriching and OST is the best tool for that. This is why i believe IAO Istanbul can be a step for that. Here is a what turkish philosopher (Hilmi Ziya Ulken )says in 1940 Today, humanity doesn't have to make a choice, it has to make a synthesis. Western civilization, will deny itself as a result of its overdevelopment in technology and will power (self control) and Eastern Civilizations will be ruined as a result of lack of self control ( discipline) and humanity will end. Or, these two poles of humanity, movements of tension and expansion; one ruled by intelligence and self control, the other governed by sympathy will realize that they are incomplete and will come together to work to create the whole human being. And the future will be more Human as 2 civilizations will complete each other by educating , producing whole human beings. I guess istanbul is a city where these 2 civilizations get together and the life here is created in intersection, by interraction of o them for centuries. That's why i would like very much that IAO istanbul can be an international OST event. That's why i kindly ask you to support us with your suggestions, ideas, participation. Let's open 4 or 5 spaces here all together, take your friends, your family, your clients whoever you want with you. Let's identify 4 or 5 themes which will be attractive and inviting... I have already started working on them. I am looking for participation from our neigbours and all over the world. Let's cross the bridge all together, opening some spaces in such an interractive city, interractive country and region. lots of love from a stormy and snowy istanbul funda * * ========================================================== [email protected] ------------------------------ To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of [email protected]: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html To learn about OpenSpaceEmailLists and OSLIST FAQs: http://www.openspaceworld.org/oslist * * ========================================================== [email protected] ------------------------------ To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of [email protected]: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html To learn about OpenSpaceEmailLists and OSLIST FAQs: http://www.openspaceworld.org/oslist
