.... there has been precious little research done of the sort you are
proposing.


Dear Harrison,
there have been 5 or 6 investigators at open space-projects that I
have facilitated. All of them have written their mastersthesis or
something like that (Diplomarbeit its called in German). Two of them
conducted intensive interviews along the lines that Kerry Napuk is
suggesting...during the event and at the follow up meetings. There
has been at least one sociologist that did an intensive study on open
space and the practise and theory of the marketplace, another
researcher has done extensive work on open space as an investigation
tool in scientific investigations, another on the use of open space
in networking efforts.
I certainly know just of a small slice of these investigations in
Germany and would assume that there are dozends of such efforts
completed and in progress.
All of this is in German and I think some of the more
theory-interested colleagues from Austria/Switzerland/Germany that
are also on this list like Susanne Weber, Erich Kolenaty, Bernd
Weber, Carol Maleh, Paul Krummenacher,  etc. could provide more
information.
So its perhaps still precious little in the US but quite a bit in the
German speaking realm.
Greetings from Berlin with much respect for your "lazy person
approach"
