Just yesterday Carms asked the world (the OSList and all of us here in Manila) who might be interested in hosting 2017's WOSonOS.
Today at breakfast, people started asking me about my connections in Hawaii (I'm a resident there, though I live in south Taiwan), in reference to a potential location for next year. Then, in the closing circle it hit me. One of my motivations, after all, for coming to this meeting was to locate my own way to stimulate organic cross-fertilizing conversations in my city. During these 2.5 days in Manila, instead, I'd focused on other types of conversations. Maybe it's time to bring this topic to life in a big way. After the closing circle, and on through a group dinner tonight, I went around to share this idea of Tainan being offered as next years location, and all around I got "Yes!" and "I'll be there, what help do you need?" So, by the evening of the closing of WOSonOS 2016 I, along with Sharon Wu are ready to make a nomination. We nominate Tainan, in the south of Taiwan as the location for the 2017 WOSonOS. It's Taiwan's oldest city, a beautiful highly hospitable tropical city full of Japanese era buildings, thousands of temples and temple events, little winding alleys and all manner of street food. It's Taiwan's holiday destination by the ocean, and a welcoming destination for everyone in 2017. Looking forward to the ensuing discussion! With respect and excitement, Jane Lewis & Sharon Wu
