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. * I used to program computers and teach other folks how to do it for a living. I have a software patent. http://www.google.com/patents/US5872974 * Lately I've been drawn to biology and the emerging science of epigenetics: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epigenetics * I entertain many controversial theories, for example: http://www.panspermia.org/intro.htm. My Dad was always fond of saying: "you're really good at collecting some very offbeat friends." That's certainly been my experience here...

It was a threaded discussion email site. In my memory, must be the biggest and most energized conversation we ever had on this list. In the end, it was rejected. And where is egroups today? At openspaceworld.org, since 1999, we have had discussion forums, wiki, wordpress group blog, but the I think the best thing we did was that I wrote some "about OST" stuff and artur de silva suggested that it ought to be in languages other than English. He volunteered to do Spanish andPortuguese, others did their languages too. The tasks were simple and defined and got done whenever anyone came forward and offered something. Now we have links to intro material in 17 languages I think. All completely unplanned, but?supported by just?keeping the site online.? In the meantime, there is a Wikipedia page, a Facebook group, a Ning community, the os hotline,?and any number of regional lists and groups and meet ups of various shapes and frequencies.? it's easy to design and build a site or platform, but yet another thing to keep it going and up to date. And I don't think we can?build anything and expect it to both replace an established community center and also grow past it, succeeding where every past effort has not.? At the same time, none of those prior offerings really set out to replace anything, I think. They all just offered something else. And that is an approach that seems very open spacey to me, to just do something, try something, offer something and see what happens. It might displace everything or nothing, but that won't matter. It's the offering, I think, that keep us going.? I'm glad to offer sub domain space at openspaceworld.org for anything that wants building and trying. Done this with many language wikis over the years.? I'm also getting ready to cleanup at openspaceworld.org, so anyone who wants to help think and do about that is welcome. It's the one big site/platform we have that's completely unconstrained by the structures imposed by service companies like Facebook. So we can do anything we want there to tie all the other things together, as long as we also find a way to maintain past contributions.? I always keep looking for ways for openspaceworld.org to virtually disappear, into just a set of links, something michael pannwitz suggested to me when the site was still just six months old, and in that way to suggest and?demonstrate?that os is much bigger than any of these platforms.?

And therein lies a possible interesting conundrum. Because I have open space thousands of times. I have also never opened space quite like the next time it is going to happen. So the number if many and zero. I've also opened space improvising around open space technology. And Open Space Technology has changed around me. Self-organisation has tinkered with the "recipe" - the one in the guide. But that gets talked about a lot less on this list and, increasingly, a bunch of "open spacer" are sharing those stories elsewhere. There is no such thing as open space technology. There is no guide. There is no "founder", there are no gatekeepers; yet there are all of these things. Tomorrow might just be my first ever Open Space. warm wishes Paul Levy On 13 December 2014 at 16:34, Daniel Mezick via OSList < oslist@lists.openspacetech.org> wrote: > > Hmmm, the the Lurker Game proved interesting. > > ...lots of seldom-heard-from voices!

You made me think more About the subtleties of working w/others, training, facilitating, & being humanly present. The 7 or more inquiry helped me to process a good number of OS that I have fostered. I am grateful to be conscious now of what had been unconscious. In the stream of things, will this matter or change anything? Probably not.

I don?t consider myself a lurker ? I don?t hide behind somewhere, ready to pounce, I have no evil intentions. But maybe that?s a cultural thing. :) I think butterfly is a more elegant expression, even in the online world.

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 -- Daniel Mezick, President New Technology Solutions Inc.

The compulsive historian in me wants to mention that in November, 2009, a message called Roll Call: Present was sent by Erik Fabian (who contributed about 15 messages from June to November of that year.) He asked people just to respond with a ?present?. While he used the term lurkers, he included in a larger framing (below). By his count, it brought 100+ responses, similar in tone to those responding now. Ironically, Erik?s reflections on the roll call (also below) was his last message to the list. appreciatively, Peggy ROLL CALL: PRESENT > On Nov 24, 2009, at 1:13 AM, Erik Fabian <e...@doublehappinessnyc.com> wrote: > > I was intrigued by Phelim's observation that the OSLIST, not being a physical space, lacks the > information that comes from people sitting silent or choosing to leave. > > I invite the many folks, the lurkers, the newbies, the old hands, the folks with better things to do, > anyone really...to respond to this message with a "present" if you would like to be noted as attending > to this virtual space. > > I know it won't solve the exiting problem but it might perhaps give a sense of scale to the ratio of > talkers to the silent. > > Erik - present > > * > REFLECTING ON THE ROLL CALL > On Nov 29, 2009, at 2:01 PM, Erik Fabian <e...@doublehappinessnyc.com> wrote: > > Hi all, > > 1st thing: I don't mean to stop the Roll Call if folks would still like to chime in.

what about tree trimming? or what about the big tree that shattered in the storm, the expert says it should come down, but can it be saved? always my thing is putting out as much info as i have and asking what anyone thinks, and what anyone can do to contribute. and yes, the shattered tree has been saved for a few years now because a couple of people on the list jumped to do what was needed to make that happen. we've had conflict of sorts, at least differences of opinion/agenda over spreading weed poison in the park where the plots are. so that required a fair amount of space holding on the list and in relations with my neighbors. the neighbors were mostly willing to chip in and buy the poison service. the gardeners we're willing to chip in and help dig up the dandelions, also to do research on alternative sprays. one gardener's father was an ag scientiest for one of the chemical companies. so we ended up having a lot of good information, found an organic alternative, had to have only one nasty treatment, and the gardeners worked to dig weeds within the area closest to the garden bed. mostly i ask a lot more questions and feed a lot more info into the list, our "wall" and don't hardly ever tell anyone what they need to do. got a little dicey in the weeds process, when a good friend and neighbor who lives right next to the park, and led the weed poison charge, wanted and expected me to do just that -- tell everybody how it was going to be. in the end, my mailbox ends up being where organic weed treatment donations are dropped off by neighbors and gardeners. of course, i am also the keeper of the neighborhood contact info directory page and the neighbors email list. in the garden there are a set of rules posted, as guides, but enforcement is left to the group. i guess i should also say that this land is held by a non-profit in chicago that holds or leases claim to 70 or 80 green spaces. they handle insurance, water bills, and other admin issues and contract with a community group (the neighborhood association, in our case) and at least three local garden leaders. the way i came into this is that i saw the previous leadership running a very exclusive, controlling process and happened to meet the director of the non-profit, who mentioned that he'd not heard from our garden leaders for years. i helped him reconnect, but also helped him re-write their contract with community group and leaders, adding a larger section for "stakeholder" signatures. expanding the circle, if you will. so i went around and had this new contract signed by lots of neighbors and had a chance to talk to a lot of folks about what they thought of the park and the garden and the neighborhood. then the old leader got bothered that he'd not be in sole control, and walked out. the neighborhood association took a while to figure out that i wasn't the devil, but over time that's been borne out by the work i've done to engage everyone in an open, expanding, resilient, emerging sort of process. for my next trick, i try to get out and go take a nap for a year, or at least get out of some of the stuff like collecting fees, assigning plots, inviting the tiller day to happen. we'll see! does that answer the question?

Message-ID: <0f20c8e2-fa61-45f1-9487-2aa462a8f...@peggyholman.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Michael, Thanks for the reframing. It reminds me of a question that informed the stewards of Spirited Work, an Open Space learning community that met in OS 4 times a year for 7 years: What does it mean to live one?s life in Open Space? Living in that question has been and continues to be a journey! I?ve never counted the number of times I?ve walked the circle, formally opening space. My first experience with OST was in 1994 and since then, I?ve worked with groups as small as 5 and as large as 2,100 from all different sectors ? business, government, nonprofit, community and on 5 continents. I know there?s no way I would have had to courage to run an OS with 1,800 street kids and 300 teachers in Bogota, Colombia in a language I don?t speak if it hadn?t been for the deep learning that came from years of being on this list!! Daniel?s question had me reflecting on the path I?ve traveled as part of this community. Your gift of openspaceworld.org <http://openspaceworld.org/> gave us an early presence on the web. That was and is huge. Some of my activities, done, as you noted, because I felt inspired to do them: 1995 Produced U S WEST Open Space Video. At Harrison?s suggestion, produced a video about a 250-ish person OS at U S WEST Communications in Arizona. It?s now on Vimeo: http://vimeo.com/25251316 <http://vimeo.com/25251316>. When we made it, 16 minutes was considered short! 1996 Co-founded Open Space Institute-US. I was one of seven at a gathering with Harrison in Seattle. It was part of a larger vision of OSIs around the world. Brian Bainbridge took the lead in Australia and Larry Peterson, Birgitt Williams, and Diane Gibeault (I think) did the same in Canada. 1996 Involved with starting the OS listserv. Part of the original dozen or so folks who joined this list that Murli Nagasandurum set up for us, a spontaneous act of generosity prompted by a message we sent out to everyone on Harrison?s emailing list when we were getting OSI-US going. 1998 Co-hosted the 6th annual OSonOS in Monterrey, California. Right after the first not done by Harrison held in Toronto hosted by Birgitt Williams and Larry Peterson and right before Chicago, hosted by Michael Hermann, which was the last before it left North America for Berlin, hosted by Michael M Pannwitz. 1999 Produced Understanding Open Space. I put a mike on Harrison during an OST workshop we co-hosted in Seattle and produced a 5-CD audio set called Understanding Open Space. Harold Shinsato has turned it into a series of podcasts. He?ll have to provide the details on how to access it. Those who have heard it say it?s a treat! (My personal favorite line is the very last thing he says on the last track. How?s that for a teaser?) I look at those dates and wonder where did the time go? It all was so long ago! Yet people who are nearest and dearest to me are people I have met through the years in this community. As quiet as I?ve been in the last few years, I still consider this community a home base. I?m better because of OSlist. And because of the people I?ve come to love along the way.
