Greetings occupiers!

This is just a quick note to let you know that the complete set of notes 
from the Occupy Boston Summit that was held November 19 can be found on 
the OB wiki: http://wiki.occupyboston.org/wiki/Occupy_Boston_Summit_Notes

The summit sure was intense!  80 people RSVPed for the event; 350 people 
showed up. Over 100 joined via live chat.  As one of the event 
organizers, I was overwhelmed by both the logistical challenges of that 
but also the incredible energy it signaled.  What was initially 
conceived as a smaller gathering of mostly familiar faces turned out to 
be an enormous gathering of people near and far who want to see Occupy 
Boston flourish. Clearly the idea of joining together in dialogue about 
how to make our movement strong resonated with a LOT of people! Thanks 
to all who participated and also to the many people have given such 
positive feedback.  I learned a lot about our movement that day and look 
forward to seeing what kinds of seeds may have been planted.

As more and more working groups are starting to convene their own 
summits or other spaces for wider dialogue, the notes on the wiki may 
help inform the discussions. Many thanks to Jen Willsea and George Lee 
for taking notes; to Amy Gilburg for doing the graphic recording; to the 
OBIT team for the audio recording and chat log; and to Noah McKenna for 
organizing the sticky notes from the tables and making 'word clouds' 
(where the size of the word corresponds to the frequency with which it 
was written- larger words were written by the discussion groups more 
frequently.)

As always, you can visit the main part of the summit wiki page to learn 
more about how the event came to be and who was involved in making it 
happen: http://wiki.occupyboston.org/wiki/Occupy_Boston_Summit

In solidarity,
Maureen
