We did a world cafe short event where we had about 12 topics (community 
setting); people talked at topic tables, then shifted after 20 minutes 
to a new topic and shared the various topic highlights from the first 
topics, then shifted again, same.... so there were many combinations of 
the topics. (You can see the topics at www.keysregion.org and the 
photos of the event at http://www.keysregion.org/KEYSForumPhotos05.htm 
)

Maybe some WC dance between the OSs?

or one day OS on the topics separate, and then second day with all the 
topics from both posted, with new ones, and people can cross borders at 
that point?
