Your paper Open Space and World Cafe (Very Long)

[chris macrae]

A bit more background:

There is a wonderful space at www.maheo.co.uk between Stroud and bath
and about 40 miles from Bristol. Its owner is Geoffrey Higgins but its
become one of the gravities for inclusionality and nature's models of
networking (Alan Rayner) as well as open facilitation. Open Space
friends of Maheo loosely or directly include Martin Leith and of course
that links with dozens of the UK's longest experienced OS people at
www.openspaceuk.com , Amanda Bucklow, David Firth. And then suddenly as
is the way with the net it turned out that one of Alan's great friends
of inclusionality was Ted whose almost Chris Corrigan's neighbour.

I am in part guilty for starting a strong conversation as to whether the
café should be separated as a great communal method in its own right, as
opposed to a rather limited method - arguably appropriate if you are
getting people to make feature decisions within a product they have
agreed on but pretty unlikely to resolve conflict or renew a whole
community, imo. And somehow that mixed with inclusionality and others
topics that Ted's extraordinary analysis covers
