Bar Camp history does not support the idea that BarCamp precedes OST development: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BarCamp#History The first BarCamp was held in Palo Alto, California , from August 19–21, 2005 So interesting also, that the name

"Lean Coffee" is yet-another derivative of Open Space. It's simple, fun, and useful- like OST itself. Here is the origin story: www.leancoffee.org Lean Coffee started in Seattle in 2009. Jim Benson and Jeremy Lightsmith wanted to start a group that would discuss Lean techniques in knowledge w

Re: [OSList] Bar Camp?

I (painfully) co-host a BarCamp every year for REALTORS - Themed "Technology" It's a "movement" around the country for techie REALTOR "groupies" Each one has been less "Open" than the one before as the organizers are slipping into inviting "Experts" to "Teach" That's a hazard of BarCamp . . . Fe

Channeling my inner Harrison here… Just Open Space. ne;sm (not enough; say more): A little coaching with them will go a long way. They seem to think that if they change up the process every year it will be interesting for people. That is a fundamental error. What is interesting for peopl

Hi All, I want to merge my post from 11 days ago (below) into this thread, because it relates to unconferences/barcamps and OS. The post got stuck in the OS List Moderation Queue due to the size of attachments, so now the attachments are links instead. Is there a difference between unconferences

Hi Lucas, Thanks for the "hat tip" around "Open Space in the Wild". I started composing an OSList message a couple weeks ago which isn't quite ready for release, but I do believe that OST has had a lot of children (some legitimate, and some maybe not so much). Barcamp is definitely a child of

Re: [OSList] Bar Camp?

Thank you Martin, Daniel, Barry, Chris, Lucas and Harold! I learned some about history of Bar Camp and OS, the “foomobile” and Lean Coffee, CloudCamp and UnPanel (I like the idea). I got the list of differences - unconference versus OS. And I got a very interesting Edcamp materials (checklist,

Re: [OSList] Bar Camp?

Arno, As far as I can tell, a bar camp is an open space with a little bit less. By this, there is a less walking the circle and getting people aligned and more of someone in front explaining the processes and saying "anyone who wants to talk, put it up on the schendule. It works just fine and I

Re: [OSList] Bar Camp?

Good Morning, everyone. I enjoyed our conversation (below) a few months ago about unconferences & barcamps which are examples of Open Space in the wild. If anyone hasn't seen an unconference, here's one that I'm helping with livestreaming video today using Qiqo: https://qiqochat.com/e/MBDyEAFwiCj
