Dear colleagues! this is a long message for all of you who are interested in participating in the free of charge OpenSpace-Online® Conference next weekend.
CONFERENCE-TITLE The "winner" of our title-ranking is: THE FUTURE OF OPEN SPACE TECHNOLOGY (32%) Title No. 2: 25% (The Human Desire for Community) Title No. 3: 22% (Open Space in Development Cooperation) Title No. 4: 21% (Real time OS internet conference to improve organizational learning) And now to the very interesting question regarding the "best" conference-time. Based on the information that colleagues from Australia and from North America are interested in this event we chose a "crazy" conference-time for us in Berlin. Sorry, to all colleagues from Europe, Africa and some parts of Asia! But after a good discussion in our team, we came to following result: ONE WORLD ... ONE REAL-TIME The mutual beginning of the conference will be in Berlin (GMT +1h) at 01:00:00 a.m 2002-06-09 (Sunday VERY early), this is for example in Australia / Brisbane 09:00:00 a.m also on 2000-06-9 (Sunday-breakfast-time), and for example in USA / Chicago at 18:00:00 p.m. on 2002-06-08 (Saturday evening). The starting-time is the time when the OpenSpace-Online® Conference will begin with all participants. Therefore each person has to log-in in our virtual conference-center earlier!! And in order do this, first you have to install our conference-software on your computer, and you need also an access to the internet. To this point later more. Each time when we organized an Online-Conference with our system in the past, it was exciting to realize that exactly at the same time the participants are preparing last things (e.g. something to eat or to drink), and that all people logged in and waited for the mutual start. Its every time again exciting. In the past we had conferences which "takes place" at the same time in the USA, Canada and in Europe. This time is our first conference where we are trying to "hold space" for all continents. We found in the internet a very easy and good little tool (Time Zone Converter), where you can see your personal conference-time very fast and simple. It is very important that everybody knows his / her conference-time and also his/her date! Please use this tool. In order to do this you have to fill in a new orientation-time and the respective date in a field. The orientation-time for our conference next weekend is "01:00:00 a.m 2002-06-09" . On the left side please choose the respective time-zone: "Europe/Berlin" and after this, please choose on the right side your Continent and your City. After a click, you can see your time and your date! You don ´t have to think about differences regarding the "Daylight Saving Time" ... this Time Zone Converter works this automatically out. http://www.timezoneconverter.com/cgi-bin/tzc.tzc This screenshot shows you the example, for the time-zone "America/Chicago": BTW, first you have to de-activate the field: "Use Current Date/Time" ___________________________________________________________ Are you interested in the theme "THE FUTURE OF OPEN SPACE TECHNOLOGY" ?
