Isn't technology defined as the application of knowledge? OST fits.
What better way than a technology driven by active, engaged
participation - albeit very complex. Throughout our time on this
planet, haven't we been using technologies to help us shape our
destinies, sometime a wisely and sometime not?
Regards to all.

Kaliya – I can’t speak for “Open Space Meeting” – But when it comes to
“Technology” – that started out as a joke. How could any body call OST
a “technology”? But I kind of got stuck with it in India. In 1989 we
did a wonderful Open Space in Goa around organizational learning. The
press picked it up and suddenly there is was in inch high headlines
across the Mumbai Papers. Then of course there are the titles of my
several books in multiple languages. I guess you can call it anything
you want to, but it will always be “technology” to me – until that
wonderful day when we don’t have to talk about it any more. If it is
any comfort, it actually does fit the broad definition of technology –
which has been around long before its current attachment to computers
and the like. J

Subject: Open Space being badly defined
So, In case you are all wondering about the online world....while you
were not looking some geeks decided to define things badly.
There is an entry about barcamps that claims they are an "open space"
event
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=BarCamp&oldid=294721271#Structure_and_participatory_process
(I already edited to make it better...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BarCamp#Structure_and_participatory_process
and then links to this entry for "open space meeting"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-space_meeting
which was shocking to me - I actually think it should be deleted -
which we could propose.
Does anyone know where this "term" is coming from or where it is used?
Does this community have a plan for online engagement around usage of
the term and how it is not taken out of context and used poorly?
Has there been any conversation about changing the "name' to Open
Space Methodology? (I personaly can't use the words "OST" cause I work
in tech and well that creates confusion. Open Space Method makes it
clear it is a "particular way of facilitating" more then the word
"technology" does at least in my mind...
