Some facts and voices from last Saturday

[Gabriela Ender]

Dear friends and colleagues,

last Saturday we had our 5th International Change Facilitator 
OpenSpace-Online Conference with the title: "Change Facilitation: Issues and 
Opportunities of Economic Globalization, Ecological Challenges and other 
worldwide Change Processes". I would love to share a few facts with you:

32 Change Facilitators from Austria, Belgium, Canada, China, Czech Republic, 
Germany, India,  Lebanon, Netherlands, Norway, Philippines, Turkey and USA 
participated in this event. The duration was almost 4 hours. The group 
worked on 15 Topics / in 15 Sessions. The book of proceedings shows 1343 
Session Comments in total and 220 Café Comments. The following testimonials 
(with permission to publish) reached us right after the conference:

=================
"As a first time participant, I felt amazed at the power of 'meeting of 
minds' for borderless collaboration. It is a potent tool to support 
change..in mindset as well as knowledge and skills even in encouraging 
peoples of warring nations to create purposeful dialogue and move towards 
global peace!" (India)

"I have found the OpenSpace-Online process to be an effective way to address 
various perspectives about complex topics.  It is effective because I can 
sit at my own computer and participate both by typing responses and by 
reading the ideas of others.  There must be some very special people who are 
attracted to this approach...indeed I believe the comments reflect a range 
of professional experiences and a willingness to share." (USA)

"This is impressive software that extends Open Space Technology beyond 
location limitations.  I look forward to future opportunities to use it, for 
myself and for my clients." (Alaska)

"OpenSpace-Online was an eye-opener for me. The feeling of real-time contact 
with colleagues from over the world was special. At first I thought: 3 hours 
is too long. Afterword I thought: if only we had more time for our 
discussions and to get to know each other better." (Netherlands)

"I think OpenSpace-Online is a new and very effective tool for humanity to 
come together. I want to thank to Gabriela Ender and Team for their 
continuous work and efforts to improve this tool." (Turkey)

"Tech heads all over the world are looking for good online conference 
software as if they are seeking a holy grail.  Such seekers need look no 
further:  this is the best online conference software." (USA)

Thanks for reading!
Cheers from Berlin,
Gabriela
