Whenever I want to know if my work of Hosting an Open Space Technology meeting
was useful, I give the participants a form that sinplay says “complete the
following sentence. As a result of this meeting...”
The only people who should be judging the efficacy of an OST meeting are the
people who c
Chris,
I look forward to Mark’s reply to your question. It seems to me that that the
question mixes up the who and the what. Mark uses a few examples including a
mechanic, the first question I have is what experience the trade person has my
second is an example of their work. OST is at one le
Dear all,
my assumption regarding "organisation" is that they are the work of the
devil.
They are omnipresent. There is practically nothing that can do without
an "organisation". Government, churches, mafia, health care, schools,
prisons, military, restaurants, foundations, associations, unive
Sure, no problem at all
It's always good to have a few more flowers blooming, then there is more
food for the bees. And we need the bees.
I also think any activity can help reach out and engaging new people.
I would be happy to help set it up. But it will only be one more flower in
the grand ope
Twenty years ago when I needed to earn some money fast I remember
considering offering a day's training in OST.
I quickly decided against.
In fact the decision made itself.
For me, offering training in OST is like taking a day to train someone in
how to drink fresh water.

You might look at examples from the past... the anarchists at the start of the

Dear Mark,
at the end of your note your say:
"...formalize them (standards, ethics, code of conduct) and help us get

How would you describe the "job" to get done?
Cheers

Dear Karl,
is "anarchistic" something that enters your mind when looking at
"organisation"?
Looking for "anarchistic organisation" wikipedia redirected me to
"Anarchism". The first sentence there goes like this:
"Anarchism is an anti-authoritarian political philosophy[1] that rejects

Dear Michael,
That's about the size of it. Although perhaps we need to consider the
usefulness of a binary position. Sic devil/god ( especially where anarchism -

interpretation that we are given of disorder and chaos.

“For me, offering training in OST is like taking a day to train someone in how
to drink fresh water.”
Right now millions of dollars are being spent doing just that “teaching people
to drink fresh water” because in the western world we have lost our way and
cannot even feed ourselve
I thought that might be a response. However I believe the original simple
metaphor remains tellingly and elusively true for teaching OST.
It's always good to draw on fairy tales and apply them to your life. It's
rarely good to impose current context onto fairy tales.

I've been mulling this over for months now.
Have come to what I think is a conclusion that blaming the mayhem on
"Organisations" is akin to "shooting the messenger" . . . making it a
martyr.
After all, any time there's more than one person present, it's essentially
the birth of an "organisation".
