Perhaps the Greeks held some of the first OST meetings! Standing on the steps, a wreath on the head discussing philosophy. You could be a butterfly and take in the discussions at random, then place a wreath on your own head (post a topic) and have others come to discuss your own brand of philosophy......
I don't know that the Greeks did it first -- but they certainly did it very well. The called it the Agora -- or actually the market place where they exchanged all sorts of stuff including ideas. Back in '89, when Anne Stadler and I made the video "Learning in Open Space" (Still available if you care) we used the Agora as a central image for our effort. Worked then. Works still, I think.
