Or at the very least do what might be called, Electronic Open Space. The first formal entry was Gabriel Ender with a program that is running just fine, so far as I know. And her effort has been added too by several illustrious souls, all to good effect. But I think I have just seen something, and it was hiding there in plain sight. The truth of the matter is that we have been doing electronic open space for a long time, and it happened pretty much all by itself. Self organizing, you might say. I had this blinding flash of the obvious last night as I read through the various postings related to Davids activities in Africa. There it was. Working perfectly, and we didnt have to do a thing, so to speak. All the parts were there: We have a bulletin board you guessed it Good Old OSLIST. It may seem like it has a lot of stuff on it, but actually it is a blank, unending wall waiting to be filled with the passions and concerns of anybody in the circle (very big one, and quite invisible). Sometimes the action takes place right at the wall but often, and I suspect most often, the serious discussions take place in multitudinous electronic breakout spaces. In the case of Davids efforts, and thanks to Tricia that was the several SKYPE conversations. To this we could add our NING, and I am sure several others. What was sometimes missing is the Harvest. A short report to bring everybody up to date. By no means complete, but more than sufficient to outline the general thrust and provide the means for more information, if so desired. Tricias Report is a perfect example! And Chunis update on happenings in New Jersey is another. I do love it when stuff happens all by itself, and it is also true that a little help and intention, might even make it work better. Specifically, if we could all remember The Harvest. Just like in physical Open Space nobody HAS to make a report, but when the subject is relevant and the discussion juicy, it sure is wonderful. We have long since learned that different groups with different topics like different sorts of spaces bigger, smaller, inside, outside, formal, or at the bar. The same thing is true in our electronic world, I think. Some folks just cant get a thing done without graphics, others require real faces and sound and we now have all of that with abundance: Skype, Google Docs, Ning, etc, etc. And we can and should pick our venue of choice. But then Dont forget the harvest! We all really do care, even if we dont want every last detail. Just a blinding flash of the obvious, I thought.
