Never having been a sponsor only a participant I really dont know. But I would be pretty sure that OpenSpace-online comes fully equipped, soup to nuts. Why dont you ask Gabriela?

Gabriela and her folks have done a remarkable thing and it really works. The only difficulty I ever encountered was the limitation on the number of participants. As I recall it maxed out with something like 50, or maybe 100. But numbers aside it is the real deal and sets a very high standard. Could it be better? Of course, and that is the challenge. Have fun!

I may or may not be able to join with you in this endeavor so just in case I am not able to: You mention who to include... Gabriela Ender is the pioneer of virtual Open Space: creator of OpenSpace-Online. Not only was this designed (in 1999) and field tested (and has been evolving since) with the help of the worldwide Open Space community, but it carefully and thoughtfully re-creates the depth, phases, physical spaces and ways people use and move about in a face-to-face full-form Open Space event. Indeed - among other great uses - it has been used to host virtual OS events after several of our face-to-face World Open Space events. I would think it useful and important to learn from her rich knowledge and experience and ensure that we are not replicating something that already exists, no? At the same time as we salute new creations? I guess it is great to have similar tools (more kinds of pencils with which to draw, no?) but I would think it a great idea to learn from Gabriela and the first amazing pencil, no? And I also bow to Nancy White, a true innovator in facilitating online meetings and engagement since the early years... also of the Open Space community... It is great to see your passion and enthusiasm Brian and Suzanne and have a great time figuring it all out everyone!

A virtual interface specifically geared to Open Space. Brian Burt, CEO and Founder of MaestroConference, and I were on the phone for about 30 minutes this afternoon. It was a jump right in kinda conversation with lots of give and take. No doubt about it, MaestroConference has been giving this some thought and Brian Burt knows the process, principles and language of Open Space. In some cases their technology is there and stuff could happen right away; other things need to be figured out and then of course, you cant totally replicate an in-person experience of Open Space so a hybrid virtual adaptation would need to be developed. We talked about the big picture of a Virtual Open Space Social Webinar platform that would allow hundreds and even thousands of people to participate. We also discussed some of the challenges; for example: can you really have a virtual conversation with 50 people on-line engaged in one topic or would we need to break into smaller groups and how could we manage a post-it board with time and place. Brians plan, along with other folks at Maestro Conference, is to host a Virtual Open Visioning Event this Fall inviting lots of people (it would be terrific if many joined) from the Open Space community and folks in the technology world (major users of Open Space) to engage in working conversations around the interface, the implementation, the applications of where and how a virtual OS could be used, the invitation process and so much more. What I was able to convey to Brian is that there are many practitioners in this worldwide OS community, including the OSI US Board, who are interested and excited about having a virtual Open Space platform. Ill be the first to say that Im not the expert (nor the leader) in that regard but I certainly have the passion and am willing to roll up my sleeves with others to help make it happen. At Brians request, Ive agreed to lend a hand if people want to advise off list that they are interested, feel free to email me. You can also do it publicly on the OS list and Ill keep track. MaestroConference is also interested in knowing if anyone has people theyd recommend who should be invited to the Fall Event. In anticipation of the Virtual Open Visioning Event being planned, perhaps we can continue the conversations on our OS list sharing what we would hope to see, what questions we have, how we may want to contribute to this effort. My specific interest related to the virtual technology is having the ability to host post-events after a face-to-face Open Space, continuing the conversations and driving some of the actions and initiatives that participants identified. An early Call to Action that may help Maestro Conference <http://maestroconference.com/> in their planning! What do y'all think? Suzanne
