Subject: [OSLIST] describing self organisation
Do you wrestle sometimes with how to 'describe' self organisation?
I work in the university and I was walking past one of the main lawn
areas
where students eat their lunch - it's called the "Oak Lawn'. I was
suddenly
struck by the way people were sitting - about 30 groups - none with
less
than 3 people and none with more than 10. Average around 7 people -
all
sitting in circles. Presumably talking about things they care about
with
people they want to talk with.
The same week a photograph of this scene appeared in the campus news
paper
with a reflection by the Guild President (that's the Student Union),
who was
reflecting on some of the features of the campus that he liked the
most. He
identified his favourite spot as the Oak Lawn and this is part of
what he
wrote:
"But for a student I don't think that there is anywhere more
memorable or
important to us that the Oak Lawn. Situated in the centre of the
campus and
bounded by the Law School, Social Science and Guild Village, Oak
Lawn is the
heart and soul of campus [note the language in this very 'secular
university']. There is nothing better than a lazy day lying around
with
friends under the massive oaks, listening to music, discussing all
those
important questions of life, or even just having a little snooze".
Next time I need to describe self organisation to someone, I am just
going
to pull out this photograph!
