"I just wanted to pass on some documentation on a project that was 
implemented this weekend.

A small group of people circled up to talk after the first general 
assembly on Oct 15. We all had a lot of thoughts and feelings which 
we shared in an open conversation. What came about as a result, after 
a dinner together and a day of work, is this:

A folding, free standing dry-erase bulletin board made of scavenged 
vinyl sticker, wood, buckets, bamboo and fabric. Based on Open Space 
Technology and adapted for this event, it includes some guidelines 
and a framework for the initiation of various conversations and 
discussion groups, a map of the 2 blocks between Georgia, Nelson, 
Howe and Hornby streets and some suggested meeting places. The back 
of this board is allocated to the general organization and divided 
into categories of schedule, what is needed (donations), and general 
announcements/messages/whatever.

Once it was built it was left in the area to be used in whatever way 
proved most useful to the people there.

If you are interested in convening or attending a discussion at 
occupy vancouver, this board is one way that it can be implemented.

Thanks to all who contributed, with ideas, material, labour, 
questions, encouragement and appreciation! May it prove useful!."
