I am a regular lurker.
For many years I was an active participant. I have been doing OST and
OST inspired work continuously for about 20 years and used to be an
OSONOS regular. A few of the active participants will remember me.
Life got very complicated a number of years ago and, while I still do
the work, I rarely feel comfortable adding my 2 cents. Occasionally
offer my 2 bits... I guess that's what happens when interest accrues
on my 2 cents over time.
I lurk to feel some sense of connection to the OST community and to be
inspired by your work.

Think globally. Act locally.
Quoting Daniel Mezick via OSList <oslist@lists.openspacetech.org>:
Some of us were on a call on Tuesday, talking about Open
Space....and OSLIST....
...the participants at the time were....
Chuni Li
Daniel Mezick
Karen Davis
Linda Stevenson
Lucas Cioffi
Paul Levy
Peggy Holman
Skye Hirst
Suzanne Daigle
Tricia Chirumbole
Harold Shinsato
We discussed OSLIST culture, and how the culture of OSLIST may not
actually be very easy to figure out...
...we talked about how this list has hundreds upon hundreds of
members, with just 25 to 45 people (give or take) who post or reply
with anything close to a regular frequency, and how some speak with
highly authoritative voices.
...we talked a bit about how the culture of OSLIST /might actually
be kind of intimidating for new people/ to participate in.
The Game
We have no idea how many "regular lurkers" are in the group...we
talked about trying to find out.
So: if you are a "regular lurker", someone who examines these OSLIST
threads periodically but does not actively participate ... are you
willing to play a little game?
The Lurker Game: you are invited to play...
1. *...The goal* is to collectively get some idea of how many of us
on the list are "regular lurkers".
2. *...The rules* are:
* If you consider yourself a "regular lurker", consider opting in to
the game, by replying...
* If you reply, absolutely nothing further will be asked of you. All
you are doing is identifying yourself as someone who lurks. That's it.
3. ...We'll all track *the progress* by watching the thread, and
seeing how many reply over time.
4. ...Participation is *opt-in*.
To participate, just hit [Reply List] and enter "hey" and press
[Enter] ...or...
... (optionally) just say whatever you might want to say, instead
We have no idea what might happen next; let's see what develops.
Thanks!
Daniel
