What would you do?

[Therese Fitzpatrick]

It is fascinating to me that you wonderful OS experts, living deep in the
heart of OS world, do not seem to be aware that a ninty minute open space
like the one Peggy Holman convened at Bowling Green happens constantly.

People build in 90 minute open spaces into larger events all the time.
People who have no idea that there is such a thing as an open space
practitioner or training to be an open space practitioner hear about the
concept and they start running with it.   The genie of OS is out of the
bottle and it has scattered around the world as a kind of phosphorescent
pollen, taking root in all kinds of places that an OS expert practitioner
might never imagine.  If I understand OS, OS was here all along, right?

I saw ninety minute OS moments for many years before I encountered OS days
and OS events.  It was years before I had the slightest awareness that there
was such a thing as open space training.  There are countless people in the
world who think they understand OS and use it all the time for ninty minute
'things'.
