Dear Juan and all,

I am so sorry to miss OM 8. It truly is one of the most stimulating and
exciting discussion spaces on development, social justice, social movement,
gender, culture, human rights and how all of those link to media and
communication rights. I'm also sorry to miss the dancing and all the fun!

Congratulations to everyone in the organizing committee and all
participants. I look forward to the blogs, reports, photos, video and audio
clips.

Abrazos,

Mavic

> The Recinto Quirama where we have gathered is a beautiful place surrounded
