Please consider posting a Doodle Poll to find the dates the most interested parties are able to attend... There are so few of us seriously advancing Follett's work, I want to meet you all!

<p>Both 14-15th and 17-18th are possible for me as I said in a previous post. 10-11st is not possible at all for me. I suggest we set the date very soon in order to make airplane ticket reservations at the best price.</p>

Please let me know the location and other details once they are set. Depending on what "Boston area" means I may be able to travel fro DC to be there.

<p>Yes, thanks much Albie and John!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It's great to see the project come alive. John, I agree with all your suggestions. In terms of technological preferences, I am not knowledgeable enough to comment. I will follow on this one.</p>

<p>In terms of dates, I had originally suggested a weekend. And Emmanuel wanted to see fall colors. From there we suggested mid-october. Being a consultant, taking weekdays for our meeting would be on my own account, which explains my preference for the weekend. However, my priority is that we make this event happen in the best possible way. If a majority of us prefers to move the meeting to weekdays I will go along. If we do so, I suggest we confirm a final date as soon as possible. Is Oct 10-11 an option? Monday the 10th is Canadian Thanksgiving thus a working holiday back here. Otherwise 17-18 is also possible.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>A bientôt.</p>

<p>Thank you John for all this work. If you prefer October 17-18, I don't mind, it's OK for me (no preference between 13-14th and 17-18th). I have children too...</p>
<p>Best regards,</p>

<p>Albie and I got together a few hours ago in Boston. Great to finally meet someone else from this network in person. Here's a brief summary of some of what we discussed.</p>
<p>* Facilities - John is going to book us some meeting space at Northeastern University. We can still try to secure other locations, if we want to, such as Harvard Business School. Since John can easily book space at NU and it's in the community where MPF did her work, we might as well.</p>

<p>* Accomodations - We're going to compile a list of accommodation options at different prices including Albie's friend Judy's bed and breakfast in the South End.</p>
<p>* Dates - Although I've been reluctant to bring it up since I feel like I already asked to move the dates once, if it is possible to hold our gathering during the work week, that would be much better for me (John). I have two children and would really prefer to not take a weekend day away from them. So, perhaps October 13-14 or October 17-18? Let me know. I wasn't sure if the proposal for a weekend was based on some folks not being able to meet during the workweek or not.</p>
<p>* Program Agenda - We can continue to work on this collectively over email.</p>
<p>* Outreach - We need to compile a big list of MPF-interested folks that we will eventually email an electronic flyer/email about the gathering. Albie is going to be doing a lot of work on this.<br/>* Google group - I don't know about you all, but I find communicating via this ning-based discussion board to be slightly clunky for me because I only get an email that someone posted but it doesn't include the actual message. I'd prefer an email listserve, like a google group, where I'd get the messages themselves in my inbox and can respond via email. I'm willing to set them up if folks agree.<br/>* I'm also willing to volunteer to serve as an additional admin on the Ning site since presumably we'll be using it to put up various conference information. Matt, would you be willing to add me as an admin?</p>

<p>Thanks to Albie and John for their work.</p>
<p>I agree with all of you about the success criteria of this meeting. From my point of view, success would be reached if we succeed in opening some interesting discussion spaces about MPF's thought. </p>

<p>Hello everyone,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Just to let you know that Albie and John are looking for a good location to meet as well as some lodging options. We are going ahead with the 14-16 of October. Please continue to offer your ideas in terms of a desired design.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm leaving for the beach and will be happy to rejoin the conversation and the organisation as of July 14th. Another next step will be to write-up an official invitation.</p>

<p>I agree with Albie that this event does not need to be large to be a success. I believe our success will be a function of our capacity to meet, share and learn together. Thanks for your "on the ground" assistance.</p>
