Reflecting on the Roll Call

Hi all, 1st thing: I don't mean to stop the Roll Call if folks would still like to chime in. Feel welcome. 2nd: I was quite struck by the 100+ voices that have called present so far in the Roll Call. Your responses reoriented my sense of scale on this list and created a fascinating moment whe

Roll Call: Present

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 respon

Re: honouring each other

Peggy, What a lovely message. I very much appreciate your respect for the past and willingness to look forward without being precious about the form. Lately, as I have been reading the OSLIST, I have been realizing that I believe OS is fundamentally an observation of how people tend to get to

Hi all, I am putting on an event in Manhattan on Tuesday, Sept 22nd that some of you might be interested in the spirit of all events happen in OS. The discussion, on the evening of the autumn equinox, will feature three short (pecha kucha style) talks and then a series of facilitated discussi

Re: September 12th in Washington, DC

Lucas, I was just talking about how someone should take up the challenge to you OS type tools to create this kind of debate. I am unable to be there but very interested to see how it turns out. I wonder though...by framing it as "200 progressives" next to a rally of "conservatives" do you not

Gel Conference Challenge on Listening

1) I would guess this may be of interest to some on this list... The Gel conference in NYC is put out a challenge on the theme of "listening". Solutions should "create some new experience that improves listening - in any context, big or small". http://gelconference.com/challenge/ It is due Oc

Re: Why is a grid sometimes useful?

I am enjoying your comments about using the grid. It is especially inspiring to hear the insights of how folks are responding to their groups needs or at least making assumptions about who their audience when creating their events. It seems there is a spectrum between being unconstrained and u

Why is a grid sometimes useful?

Hello, I have been thinking about the bulletin board and the debate that happened a while back on this list about whether a totally free collage of session postings is somehow better than OS style events that use a grid layout that notes time/locations. I agree that the complete free flowing

Open Office Hours - Manhattan

Hi all, For the next 4 weeks of Mondays I am trying an experiment of creating a hybrid of a co-working & collaborations session. The collaboration part will be organized using OS but admittedly these events will not be by-the-book in format. I am hoping to expose some new people to the concep

Re: I guess RE: Open Space being badly defined

Thanks for the note Harrison, No doubt having a creation story like that is one of the reasons OS resonates with many of us, but you realize that establishing a creation story is a tactic that is used in marketing to establish a brand. (Ex. Apple was started by two guys in a garage, or Michael

Hi Mark, I have seen virtual walls at techie, barcamp style events. They had a paper sign-up board and then an organizer transcribed it to a calendar which was projected on a main screen. Last month someone posted a link to this..which could be projected:http://wallwisher.com/wall/smallcreativ
