Hi all:
Great thread... wise words :-)
 
I have 2 contributions:
1) Open Space Technology is a way of organizing, and being in, groups so
that responsibility for creating what is cared about is assumed. ~ Glory
Ressler
 
2) Would you like to find a method for turning frustration into action?
For accessing the wisdom of individuals and groups? Try Open Space
Technology!  ~ Glory Ressler
