Re: [OSList] Foo Bar OST Re: What's the difference between BarCamp and OST?

Thanks. John Abbe and I hosted one in Palo Alto. It was Open Space but i heard people also considered it to be an unconference. To some degree this is all like a game of Telephone in which the message changes with each new person telling it! Jeff On Aug 21, 2016 6:45 PM, "Michael Herman"
