multiple conferences on top of one another

 Could we imagine a jigsaw puzzle that connects the big picture of what Ted is 
talking about with open space as one interfacing piece

what else could be there?

here are some pieces we have been experimenting with for 22 years based round 
the death of distance scenario of this script


we need collaboration knowledge city spaces; the city or its vilage sub-
networeks being the m,ost accessible real part of most of our social networks; 
the people need to take back a combination of systems if the city is to be 
safe for cross-cultural and inter-nation citizens networks; these include:

media (assuming briadcast media is not yet on any collaboration citiizens side 
then we will need a web logging up what spaces a city is hosting, what 
projects it is experimenting and open sourcing, what twin city relations it 
has eg across open space, microfinance, socila entrpreneurial finacin

we will need hubs; these are spaces in the community that welcome folk of 
every culture, and particularly the energy of the young; they are ungovernment 
spaces in that they do what top-down cannot in terms of coommunity susteining 
projects and interlocal waves (including connecting open source projects 
invented in some other city but now ready to be franchised here)

citizen groups will beed to know where projects of a particular type are being 
jammed - for example millions of health for all projects are being culturally 
created around the world but where are they being webbed into one family tree 
of possibilities; both the demand that we linkin around one transparent 
collecting house and the way that citizen networeks practice interconnections 
with the jam is something that citizens (particularly those driven hy a 
particular theme eg health) need to be the right people to come and stand up 
and co-create; 

if health is one worldwide wave around whose collaboration human race will 
sustain or destry; it would be a jolly good idea if ever collaboration city 
could agree a shortlist of all such waves: clean energy's photosynthesis is 
the main one scientists have told me about since 1984 so I have to buy that 
any other energy race is a lower less colaborative race; whether you agree or 
not we need to see each other's maps and how colaboration can connect through 
what

there are probably many other pieces; but one starting pace is if we can agree 
rougly on the pieces then we can be sure that each city's number 1 
colaboration web is searching out for them, svehuling where people can network 
around them, both within its distance borders and across the world's deepest 
open action learning projects

I invite anyone who wants to try to represent their city in approximately this 
open connecting spirit to co-create the weblog 
http://clubofyourcity.blogspot.com - insert for yourcity its name; if you find 
it is already there as is http://clubofchicago.blogspot.com, in 99.99% its 
ready and waiting for you to be its main co-editor -ask at 
wcbn007 at easynet.co.uk; we essentially use a 4-hemisphere grid as emerging at 
http://clubofdelhi.blogspot.com on top of which any collaboration network or 
conflict resolving approach can overleay its own cross-roads and start to give 
deep cultural texture to who's who of open collaboration and citizens 
connecting global villages to be sustiained transparently

PS since 5 times more scots live around the world's hemispheres than in 
scotland, we multiply that particular value perspective and systemic language 
interface to the peoples economics at http://clubofscotland.blogspot.com ; 
what the gift to the world your place can multiply


Quoting Ted Ernst <ted at chicagohumanist.org>:

 A while back, I asked about experiences doing more than one conference
 in the same conference center, and talked about an idea some of us in
 Chicago (Michael Herman among them) of literally sharing the same OS
 circle and agenda wall among two or more networks.  Well, we have
 another draft of an invitation, with two groups.  It seems we need one
 or two more for balance:
 http://www.omidyar.net/group/conference/ws/invitationsimultaneous/
 (badly named page will change by the time we're done)
 
 I also wanted to share another open space experiment in the works. 
 OSCON is the Open Source Convention and is a 2500 person $1000 each
 afair.  OSCamp is for everyone else (free space donated by OSCON). 
 Here's a very drafty link (http://oscamp.org/InviteGroups) to a plan
 that basically says (taylored to each group) "OScamp is an open event
 we think you'd like.  We know the carrier pigeon society hasn't met in
 a while.  Why don't you bring the whole gang and meet in this larger
 open space gathering"
 
 So while for the omidyar.net gathering, we're attempting to put all of
 the various invitations on one page with a unifying sentence, OSCamp
 is going the other way and tayloring the invite to each group, while
 letting them know that their group will only be a small part of
 something much larger and more wonderful.
 
 Imagine the cross-pollenizations!
 
 peace,
 ted
