yes 3 cheers: what I would add: maybe longest running list-serve in any organisation-wide important area -tell me if you know of another
again the only one I know of where the founder and so action learning alumni are always there I love the openness value too; I dream if we pasted a bit more on the unique system resolutions that open space has achieved over 50000+ stagings, that one day open space would be on the curricula of every school- not to know that meetings can be open is not to have lived, almost as much as not being able to read; perhaps more vially so if you ever become powerful over a org system that thousands depend on chris macrae wcbn...@easynet.co.uk http://openjam.blogspot.com ps if you are interested in changing slum-life for a million people or the human right of water or what knowledge citizens can bring to transparency that their political leaders seem to have become blinded to, then 72 hours of testimonies from peoples of 100 countries await you thanks to Canada's initiative at http://www.habitatjam.com -since the webmaster is IBM retrieval is more messy than needs be: I will be happy to help search this resource if any of these 3 issues need your space at any future time Quoting Chris Corrigan <chris.corri...@gmail.com>: It doesn't get said enough, and I'm in an appreciating kind of mood, so here's what I love about the OSLIST: - There is no such thing as a dumb question. In fact, the more basic the question, the more lively the responses, and there is nothing seasoned veterans of OST like more than answer a basic question twenty five different ways! - New people are always showing up. - Experienced practitioners seem to take turns showing up to welcome folks at the door. - Harrison is here, and he isn't shy! - We seem to avoid the undue sufferings of every other email list on the internet...we play nice, we're helpful and as a result, we have assembled an archive of knowledge and observation about our collective work that is precious beyond belief. - We think and muse and learn openly, and are not afraid to expose our foibles, missteps, errors and insecurities. - We appreciate one another's work, and give boosts of spirit and support to folks doing what we do in vastly more challenging circumstances than those in which we normally work. Just some thoughts from a snowy island in the Salish Sea off the west coast of Canada...
