Appreciating OSLIST

[Chris Macrae]

yes 3 cheers: what I would add:

maybe longest running list-serve in any organisation-wide important area -tell 
me if you know of another

again the only one I know of where the founder and so action learning alumni 
are always there

I love the openness value too; I dream if we pasted a bit more on the unique 
system resolutions that open space has achieved over 50000+ stagings, that one 
day open space would be on the curricula of every school- not to know that 
meetings can be open is not to have lived, almost as much as not being able to 
read; perhaps more vially so if you ever become powerful over a org system 
that thousands depend on

ps if you are interested in changing slum-life for a million people or the 
human right of water or what knowledge citizens can bring to transparency that 
their political leaders seem to have become blinded to, then 72 hours of 
testimonies from peoples of 100 countries await you thanks to Canada's 
initiative at http://www.habitatjam.com -since the webmaster is IBM retrieval 
is more messy than needs be: I will be happy to help search this resource if 
any of these 3 issues need your space at any future time

Quoting Chris Corrigan <chris.corrigan at gmail.com>:

 It doesn't get said enough, and I'm in an appreciating kind of mood, so
 here's what I love about the OSLIST:
 
 
    - There is no such thing as a dumb question.  In fact, the more basic
    the question, the more lively the responses, and there is nothing seasoned
    veterans of OST like more than answer a basic question twenty five
 different
    ways!
    - New people are always showing up.
    - Experienced practitioners seem to take turns showing up to welcome
    folks at the door.
    - Harrison is here, and he isn't shy!
    - We seem to avoid the undue sufferings of every other email list on
    the internet...we play nice, we're helpful and as a result, we have
    assembled an archive of knowledge and observation about our collective
 work
    that is precious beyond belief.
     - We think and muse and learn openly, and are not afraid to expose
    our foibles, missteps, errors and insecurities.
    - We appreciate one another's work, and give boosts of spirit and
    support to folks doing what we do in vastly more challenging circumstances
    than those in which we normally work.
 
 Just some thoughts from a snowy island in the Salish Sea off the west coast
 of Canada...
