Dear All,
the organising team for the WOSonOS 2010 in Berlin feels privileged
to contribute to the Brian Bainbridge Memorial Scholarship. Our
contribution for the moment: free participation for the awarded
person. We can't wait to hear the name of the person who deserved it.
Greetings from Berlin
Jo

/ Hello all -- /
I want those of you who were unable to receive OSLIST messages in
February to know the sad news of Brian's passing. And also to know
that there is a scholarship project going on right now in his
honor. This first section shares the news of his passing (do look
in the archive to see as people shared their thoughts and memories
- or add some of your own), and following that, a description of
the scholarship project. Thank you all and I see you in all of our
work, Brian.... - Lisa

Father Brian Bainbridge passed away in his sleep, early morning on
Tuesday, February 2, 2010. It was a sad surprise to us all - in
fact, he just sent out an Open Space OZ newsletter the evening
before. Some of us know him by sitting with him at WOSonOSs around
the world, as he shared his stories and learnings of using Open
Space everywhere from the World Bank to his church parish
community. Most recently he joined some of his international
friends at WOSonOS 2009 in Taiwan. Some know him by reading his
book, 'The New Parish Priest. Some of us know him by sharing a few
glasses of lovely red wine and an evening's thoughts about Open
Space, and about life.*

The other day I had lunch with Brendan McKeague and Andrew Rixon to
discuss the future of the Open Space Institute in Australia. I'm
sure many of you are aware that Brian Bainbridge WAS the Open Space
Institute in Oz and we'd like to honour his contribution by
continuing the OSI.
Also at lunch was Brian's friend and executor of his will, John
Grace. I asked John if he thought Brian's parish had any idea what
he did when he wasn't there. Not surprisingly, he answered 'no'. He
also told us the story of how the locals who were short of cash and
wanted a hand-out from the church would wait till the office staff
had gone home and would knock on Brian's door - even very late at
night. No-one ever went away empty handed. So I think Brian would
be chuffed to know that there's a scholarship in his name to enable
someone to attend this year's World Open Space on Open Space in
Berlin, someone who wouldn't be able to otherwise.
This scholarship is being coordinated this year by Lisa Heft (aka
the Access Queen). I think Brian would be happy with this as he
always wanted to spread the understanding and use of open space far
and wide.
Some of you may wish to individually contribute to the Fr. Brian
Bainbridge Memorial Fund for the 2010 WOSONOS. Please make your
own individual contributions as appropriate. The details of how to
do so are explained below. At our Fringe WOSonOS in Melbourne on
May 11 we will talk about an Australasian Scholarship for future
WOSonOS events. And most exciting for me (personally) at this
Fringe WOSonOS will be that we'll have access to Brian's beloved
shalalee for our talking stick. Yay! Stay tuned for photos.
