Let me assure > however you that everything is fine and we are ready to warmly welcome you > to the University of Belgrade on 18-21 September 2014. > > Let me explain why I am late. Something happened that I did not expect > when I offered to host WOSonOS 2014. Earlier this year, I made a major > life decision, which was to get involved in politics taking a very lead > role with others to establish a new political party. The election took > place in March, and it consumed a lot of my time. It still does. > > I must say that if Open Space had not been part of my life, I would not > have had the courage to get involved like this. I realized how much my > country means to me and I felt we needed people to become more involved. We > needed to open space, to invite more democracy and transparency in the > decision-making. > > As a new party, we did not expect to win against the established party > that was leading the country. It was a massive job and I am very proud > that in 10 days of very hard work we got from 5 to 8% of the vote in the > big cities, and became the most promising opposition party. Yes as we all > know, Open Space can have a life changing effect. > > WOSonOS2014 > > Now let me get to the main message of this email! Just about everything is > ready with all the details you need to know. There is only one problem that > was holding us back to publish our website and that was to establish the > payment procedures with the bank. This can be complicated. As I continue to > work with the banks, I decided to publish the website within the next week > and as a last resort, participants can always pay us when they arrive > (meals, materials costs, etc.). I assure you that we are doing everything > we can to keep the costs as low as possible. The University of Belgrade > where I teach has generously offered their facilities to us at no cost. > They are very excited to be hosting this event following in the footsteps > of Florida who partnered with the University of South Florida, St. > Petersburg last year. > > In terms of basic information: > > Dates: WOSonOS will start on Thursday September 18th at 6.30 pm > (registration and welcome) and will end on Sunday September 21st at 4.30 pm. > > Venue: University of Belgrade, Studentski trg 1, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia, > in the very city center. > > Hotels: We have contacted local hotels for preferred rates which will > provide you with many options and choices at affordable costs. You can also > choose your own as Belgrade has many lovely hotels and rooms for tourists > and visitors, all within walking distance or a short bus ride to the > University. > > . > > Team: We are a team of 10 people with many others who are excited to > support us though as you all know, Open Space is quite simple and we want > to keep this spirit of simplicity and welcome. We are very fortunate that > in the last few years, many here have experienced Open Space. We have > been in touch with other people in the Balkans and they too are looking > forward to being part of this.. > > Visas, Transportation: The airport “Nikola Tesla” (website: > ttp://www.beg.aero/welcome.54.html <http://www.beg.aero/welcome.54.html>) > s a short distance away.
