In answer to my question about report writing technologies here is a
summary of what I received. I wanted to regroup under one post so it is easily
searchable on the list.
Harrison sent me to his book : Open Space Technology : a users guide. I
found on Chapter III, page 39 The Electronic Connection
About word processing and database the information is very usefull. And
plainly photocopy handwritten reports is a good way to go too. Unfortunately,
when it comes to Computer Conferencing and Multisite Open Space Events, I
could no find de references on the net : Caucus II, MetaNet or MetaSystem
Design Group, but it brings me to the other answers I received...
Here is what Thomas Herrmann sent me : I usually only use Word format
and make a template on each computer, with some headers such as: Topic,
Convenor, Participants, Summary of the meeting, Next step.
Regarding collecting all the reports it´s well outlined in HO´s book (if
you use floppys) and we recently had an interesting discussion regarding the
use of USB-sticks (search the archives on USB I think would do it). But anyway
somehow you have to make sure no reports are lost.
Then Michael Herman wrote me My standard is Word. My emerging preference is
to use a weblog, though... especially when the group wants the proceedings to
be the
beginning of a wave of working together, rather than the end of an
event. My favorite blogging platform is WordPress (www.wordpress.org)
which is free, open source, but does require having a website set up.
www.blogger.com offers free blogging and free hosting, so any group
can have an open space conference website and ongoing work/news space
for free. setup takes just minutes, too, making it accessible to
many, even professed non-techies.
And Christine Whitney Sanchez wrote for an example of an online
interactive reporting model you might want to go to
