Re: Longest OS Event?

The first two Open Space events I attended, aeons ago, I believe were 3.5 or 4 days. Harrison or Anne Stadler might remember what was the schedule for the OS on Creativity in Sonoma County, California, and for The Business of Business is Learning, at Kahneetah Resort in central Oregon, which I b

That's something coming from Harrison, who has written elsewhere that the longest one is 14 billion years old. Unless Harrison has another career that we don't know about I'd say that trumps his mere 65 years! As for most successful, I like what Brian Swimme says about the Universe: Start with a

Re: co-located open space events

Just want to reflect back that I seem to be hearing that one group may have slightly different needs around this event. If this is true and one group has the generation of a sense of community cohesion as one of the goals for the meeting, then this need may need to be honoured and addressed before

Re: co-located open space events

I would certainly agree that cross disciplinary activity is essential. And the reason is quite simple. Life does not come in "disciplines" -- no matter what the heads of academic departments might think or hope. The university structure is at best an arbitrary abstraction from life. On a good day i

Anything is possible, but my experience is that two Open Spaces together seems to bleed energy from both.

co-located open space events

Traditional conferences somtimes co-locate because of their overlapping communities or for various other reasons. Sometimes an OS event is co-located with a traditional event, maybe calling them tracks or whatever. What about two OS events, co-located? I've got a brainstorm cooking here, with th
