that's what I wrote in my paper for ATHE conference
and that's what is still true
oudeis exists because of its companions
If there was not Lee, oudeis would have no single dramatic line
If there was not Santiago, oudeis would have no visual/audio linking
It was Santiago and Lee who actually tuck up, came to austria and gave
birth to our baby. (nobody ever asked if they could live with the
situation they found there)
Even though the baby finally was brought to light, we never leant back,
patted on our shoulders and told us what great work we did!
Thus I invite you to come to ATHEMOO on Tuesday 28th at 7am Hawaii, 9 am
PST (LA), noon EST (NY), and 6 or 7pm vienna (did you change time yet)?
I will try to bring champagne and I would like to have our SUCCESSFULL
PAST work as the major point of our agenda (sorry for shouting, its me
who needed to be told that most)
oudeis needs no "will be" - oudeis "is"
To opposite the said - to make a future decision, and to show a breeze of
authority:
I rename oudeis-"idea" to the alias oudeis-"decision" (thanks "officially"
to Georg here).
Gernot and o3 conceived our baby, idea was/is pregnant with it,
lee&santiago&AI have given birth to it.
It is still in the incubator.
As I am one of its nanas, let me state something personal. Oudeis made me
cry, made me laugh, gave me energy, made me sick, showed me my way in the
world, provided me with the best friends.
To draw a loop back to my initial statement: "every time ... an email
popped in"
Though oudeis can't be _done_ "in" here, it can only live because of this
level of energy that is created of the virtual environment of our mail
and online communication.
I need this energy for life.
