Dear Koos,
the reason I favor your approach is that it also helps spread OST.
When participants experience that all they need are locally available
ressources, they fly with it. Of course, in places of abundance, I like
to use the abundantly available local ressources (like perfect markers,
the right sticky tape,Stange Design Pinboards made of cardboard, etc.).
The one time I saw the sticky wall being used it was attached to a wall
that I would never have chosen for the bulletin board...it was ideal for
the sticky material, however, but at the wrong place. That made me
think about being enthralled by a technical detail (which I myself have
often been victim of)instead of being mindful of the geometry of the
space and the flow of people in the space.
Greetings from Berlin

where he offers an Italian version)

Hi All,
I have seen it used, and I have the spray, for use in other types of
workshops. The reason I have not used it in Open Space is that I try to
do my Open Space as low-tech as possible. A prefabricated foldable wall
(the one I saw was something like 8 feet high and more than 12 feet wide
and had even a prepainted grid on it for timeslots and break out spaces)
is impressive, but I try to impress as little as possible.
I like it when the people get the feeling that they could do it
themselves. That it is so simple that they really don't need me. It
increases ownership and independence. So I always make a point of
creating my materials from scrap the night or morning before it starts.
One of the things I like best about Open Space is that all you really
need is just a stack of paper, a roll of masking tape and a box of markers.
Just my 2 cents
Koos
