[wos] meeting on wos-future after wos4

[Volker Grassmuck]

Dear all,

there is the desire from various sides to have a post-wos4 meeting on 
the future of wos. This is not primarily intended for generating a 
check-list of practical organisational matters. We'll do that as well 
but with a few days distance to wos4. This is intended for strategic 
planning: will there be a wos5? Will it look like the previous ones? 
Do we try to maintain the mixture of academic conference and 
community meeting? Or will it be something like Dropping Knowledge or 
Plenum ( http://kop.kein.org/plenum/ )? What's the organisation 
structure behind it going to be? The programme council is one attempt 
to change something here. How can it be improved?

This should take place while the experience of wos4 is still fresh 
and bloody. On Sunday there will be four workshops in parallel. Not a 
good idea to do the wos thing at the same time. What about Sunday 
night? If the workshops end at 18:00 in Adlershof, we could meet up 
for dinner in Mitte and talk about where to from here. I guess many 
people will be leaving Berlin on Sunday night if not earlier. 
Saturday night would be tough as well. Anybody a better idea?

best
Volker
