G'day All Lisa, is it you who mentioned compiling a collection of OST 'testimonials'?
My sense is that if you - and anyone else who is doing this - would be happy to share these or provide direction as to where they might be located, this could help us all. 'Uninitiated' potential clients want to hear about outcomes! Perhaps people would wish to share single ones which stand out for them, knowing of course that these arose in particular contexts. On April 19 of this year I contributed such a testimonial on 'Far more to us than anticipated' from the CEO of a large aged care facility. Benefits of this kind of 'clearing house' activity could be similar to the collection of brief descriptions of OST which emerged on our list a couple of years ago; I found these very useful for my purposes.

Hello Susanne - I have been compiling several papers using the quotes of our colleagues on the list. I find it works well when I send a draft to everyone who I'd like to "use" to see if they wish to make any adjustments in either the quotation (because in the paper it may be in a new context) or their contact information. I think it's marvelous to share the learning in and from many voices. It also lets others new to Open Space know that we are all around the world. Let us know how we can help you in any way. As you may know from reading the list, you can even ask us specific questions to get at something about which you are writing. Most importantly, let us hear what you are learning - there are many ways that all of us can use your writings as well.

Is there somebody who dont like that? Ever since this list began, the presumption has been that anything appearing here is in the public domain. It has also been the way of the global OS community that we share what we are learning. Lots of folks have found this surprising, but OS is free, and the only way to deepen our understanding and practice is to share what we are learning. Of course, attribution is always appreciated, but if it is on this list -- it is there for everybody. One caution, however -- because the list operates in English, and (obviously) not everybody has English as a first language -- I suggest checking with the authors to make sure that they said what they intended, and that you understand it. Nothing about agreement or disagreement -- but simple understanding.
