Hi Julie,

The proceedings for the conference haven’t been sent out yet, but the best way to find out when they’re distributed is probably via the international OS Listserv – are you subscribed to that?

If not, this is where you go to subscribe (and to view the archives of the List): http://www.openspaceworld.org/oslist

cheers!
Christy

I am so interested in the discussions surrounding these topics– (particularly “How to Transform a Town Using Open Space Tech.” and “Ways of Using Open Space to Weave Community..”) –will you be posting any more notes? I very much want to hear/read people’s thoughts on this!
