This is the day when the real work of Transition Whatcom will begin. We encourage everyone who has a strong interest in Transition to prioritize attending Day 2 of The Great Unleashing. It could be among the most important time spent of your entire
year.

Based on our visioning, we’ll begin to form project groups that will address critical issues our community is facing and start the process of articulating an Energy Descent Action Pathway. This will be our roadmap to a future of greater freedom from  oil-dependency, much greater local resilience, and a more satisfying personal and community life, and will celebrate and
expand on the many positive actions already happening in our community.

Has anyone given any thought to creating another sub-group that would be ready to use by folks who attend the Day 2 open-space? Or available to those who want to, but cannot attend?

I think it would be helpful to have something already created before Sunday.

Most likely either David MacLeod, or myself, or another, could create this sub-group.

Let me know if anyone wants me to initiate something online before Sunday's Open Space event.
Good idea Heather. The "Work Group" Group has been created. Just an initial gathering spot for sharing and disseminating info related to the Work Groups that will begin forming on Day 2.

Great! Thank you David for iniating the 'initial work group' ...
I really like the logo/picture you choose.
Think about clicking on a couple of other admin -computer folks for the group as you like.
