I hate to be such a pain in the ass, but I can't open the triangles file.
Any help you can give would be great.

> Dear Colleagues,
>
> We now are getting a handle on what we need to do at the post-OIKOS/ICA
> event at Oklahoma City University (OKCU).  I'm sending this email and the
> attached work to the Springboard Dialogue group because the earlier mailing
> didn't cover everyone I know who is associated with the work we've done
> through Springboard gatherings and I now feel the meeting we're going to
> have is a continuation of that series of gatherings.
>
> So a bit of a context for the new people getting this email.  After the
> event scheduled for Oklahoma City University with OIKOS and ICA, which
> begins Monday July 12th and ends with lunch on the 14th, a group of us will
> begin meeting regarding the continuing dialogue about what and how we get
> our wisdom (historical and current) in form(s) that we can share with Those
> Who Care.  We have talked a lot about this and there has been quite a bit of
> work done already over the last couple of years.  But at this meeting I
> would hope we would prioritize what we need to do, build some plans for it
> to happen and get started toward some specific goals for 2010-11.   You will
> see I actually think this Formation work.
>
> Mark Davies has graciously arranged for those of us coming for the first
> event to be able to extend our stay in the rooms we are getting for
> $22/night/person.  However there are colleagues willing to host some of us
> who need to save some money.  Let Pat Webb know if you need that.  Mark has
> also said we can have space to meet in, which is wonderful.
>
> We will meet later in the afternoon of the 14th to begin (4??) and have our
> first session together.  I thought we'd consider going out together that
> evening and our colleagues in OKC can help us there.  We would have all day
> the 15th, and although a couple of people need to depart Friday morning,
> some of us might continue to meet on Friday morning to push through details.
>  If you are coming and haven't made your plane reservations please look at
> Friday afternoon, evening or Saturday for departure if possible.
>
> Again, for those getting this for the first time, in an earlier email I
> sent out a set of triangles that I had worked on and called ""The Academy
> for the 21st Century Spirit Movement".   It was my attempt to put into a
> "Knowing" Doing" Being" format our wisdom and what we may consider sharing
> in some form.  But it was not a design of a new Academy, but simply a
> vehicle to get some coherence into our work.  You will see that in the 3rd
> Draft I've changed the title and as well as several of the sub-triangles.
>  The accompanying text document contains paragraphs on each triangle
> explaining my meaning and rationale for the title as well as what the next
> level might consist of (level 4).   But remember, this is just a dialogue
> tool, not a construct.  As such I hope it stimulates thinking on what we
> need to clarify and work on.  We need to prioritize and then polish and
> choose a form or instrument to make it accessible.
>
> You will see from the opening context of the text document that I see four
> tasks before us at OKSU.  These triangles are just a way to look at how we
> might prioritize for the other three tasks; Historical Archives, Repository
> & Video Interviews, and Resurgent Publishing.  To this end, I would ask
> David Dunn & Jan Sanders and Dick Sims to bring us up to speed on the Global
> Archives project, Gordon Harper, Len Hockley and Jim Weigel to share with us
> their thinking of the evolution of the Repository web site and the future of
> the interview process, and George Walters & John Epps to share some vision
> and possibility for Resurgent Publishing.  I also think Geroge, people would
> appreciate an update on the event in DC at Wesley Theological Seminary.   I
> would hope we could get all of that work done by Wednesday evening and then
> go from there.
>
> Finally, for those who can not attend, please consider joining us via Skype
> for any or all of our time together.  We've done that before at our meetings
> and with speakers and cameras it can feel that you're with us at the table.
>
> So, let the conversation continue, especially ideas of prep we need to do
> before we arrive.

> Grace & Peace,
