What would you do?

[Judi Richardson]

Hi there -- how much time is needed for the space to be open?  That is
question I am hearing underlying Birgitt's and Larry's answers.  I also feel
you are giving a taste of OST in that time-frame!  And if it is a taste you
want -- Peggy's suggestion of lively 15 minutes discussions would work well.

In 1.5 hours I would not call it Open Space Technology.  I agree with
Birgit that there is not enough time to experience the possible synergy
of OST.  However,  I have enabled many self-organizing discussions, with
participants generating and volunteering to lead topics for which they
had a passion, going into good discussions for 45 min or so and even
making some reports and reflections at the end.  Some of the flavour of
OST is there, but I don't call it Open Space Technology, but a
self-organizing discussion with some flavour of it.
