I used have more hair, and it used to be blond. I think I have Facilitated about 14 or 15 Open Space events in all since about 2009. Since then I've also been responsible for helping arrange many others.

I am primarily interested in bringing the genuine spirit and practice of Open Space into Agile adoptions. This is a huge uphill effort. Most all Agile adoptions are authoritative top-down mandates of practices, instead of inviting and engaging explorations of core principles. As such, I think we might have a big opportunity there, to authentically open up some space, and make a big impact.

My Dad was always fond of saying: "you're really good at collecting some very offbeat friends."

That's certainly been my experience here...

*Subject:* [OSList] Who has facilitated at least 7 OST events?

Hmmm, the the Lurker Game proved interesting.

...lots of seldom-heard-from voices! Quite a deep level of experience being reported!

So interesting ... so much depth. Seems like something to ... /explore..../

So: if you want, /you are cordially invited/ to play ... let's call it the OST-7 Game:


========================================
*The OST-7 Game*
========================================

*The Goal:*
Get a collective idea of how many people here have actually Facilitated 7 or more OST events in their lifetime. Put another way: what is the depth of practical OST facilitation experience across the entire membership?

*The Rules:*
If you have Facilitated at least 7 OST events, consider replying with "hey" ... or optionally, with absolutely anything else you might like to say, for example: where you are located, last time you did one, your hair color, etc

*Tracking Progress:*
Watch the thread to track progress, by: # of replies, # of countries, # of OST events, replies per unit of time, # of people with red hair, or absolutely any other measures you like
*
Play:*
100% optional. Play if you like. If you've done more 7 or more and prefer to just watch the game, that's OK too.

========================================



Notes:

  * For this game, "OST" means something like this:
    http://www.openspaceworld.com/users_guide.htm
  * This is for Facilitating only; consider replying if you've
    Facilitated at least 7 of these events in your lifetime.
  * Please reply by clicking [Reply All] Or [Reply List], so the
    thread stays together, under the same subject


Steps to Play:

  * Click [Reply All] Or [Reply List]
  * Reply with "hey" or with absolutely anything else you might like
    to say


You are invited. What might happen next? Let's see...

Daniel
