Tom -- Welcome! As to your particular interest, I have often said that the first software group (company whatever) that seriously engaged in Open Space will redefine the market place. The reason is simple -- the speed and efficiencies that are an everyday experience in Open Space will simply blow away the alternatives. Good luck

I have Alan Stewart to thank for getting me interested in this list. His posts of a thread on open source to my personal mailbox piqued my curiousity. As a long time advocate and contributor to open source projects I've always been struck my the similarities in spirit between open source and open space (law of two feet, the right people.. etc). I have a notion - perhaps wildly idealistic - that open space offers the possibility of accelerating the commercial development of open source projects and that a company focussing on open source solutions could manage its day-to-day operations and decision making using open space techniques. I realise this thread has been touched on before and wouldn't want to go over old ground, but if there are other open source developers out there in the community who share similar sentiments I would welcome an opportunity to take these ideas further. Thank you for indulging me and taking the time to read this email.
