This is a beautiful tradition of our community of practice. So much so that I 
built in a Stammtich into my OST training in June. 

Until you combine Open Space and martinis and conversation you truly don't 
appreciate the source of inspiration for this whole experiment.

PS Andrew I would be there in a heartbeat if I could. I loved Brian and am very 
fond of all of you in Melbourne and the Surf Coast.  Have fun
