sort of. It was a very small circle. If you look at the pictures:

The opening picture is about 17 pictures in. We mostly stood in the circle
together.

When I did the OS in Colombia for the street kids, there were virtually
no English speakers. Since I don't speak Spanish, we discussed my not
opening the space at all. In the end, the sponsors felt that having this
person who came so far - me - be visible was part of the creation of a
welcoming space. So the approach we took was that I'd say a sentence in
English, then my partner, Andres Agudelo, would say a paragraph in
Spanish filling in all the details.
It worked.
