Hi!  We're going to be doing a very exciting Open Space "event" on the
web
May 22 - June 30.  CivicNet is a virtual conference bringing together
people involved in civic and community networking from all over the U.S.
and many from other countries.  We'll be talking about some of the ways
technology can leverage efforts to increase the range of stakeholders
involved in discussions about the future.

In addition to the Open Space activities, there will also be keynote
"speakers" including Howard Rheingold, author of The Virtual Community
and
Carolyn Lukensmeyer, co-director of Gore's reinventing government
project
and now director of America Speaks which seeks to support projects to
increase civic dialogue.   Workshops will include facilitated sessions
to
explore how various group processes can be used in this context
including
Scenarios and Future Search.

Harrison and others have been advising on the design of the Open Space
in
cyberspace and any other OSI'ers who choose to participate in CivicNet
will be instantly conscripted <grin> for the design team.

To check it out and sign up come to http://www.tmn.com/civicnet

I think this will be a lot of fun.  It will also be a significant event
for those interested in community networking so please pass this along
to
anyone you know who should be involved!
