Fw: [OSLIST] Question - using a wiki to post OS topics before Opening the Space

Sun Jan 7 08:08:13 PST 2007

I am so pleased with the texture and variety of responses to this question.
With Web 2.0 and wikis being relatively new to many people who have been
engaged in community and facilitation practice, we're all explorers and our
annecdotes are starting to tell the story of "what happens".

Peggy and Michael have hit on where my preference lies for the moment as I
integrate wikis into engagements. There are social information needs that
wikis can support, but before people are face to face the former is where
you will find the low hanging fruit. For years I had surveyed program
participants to find out what their needs, interest and background were. Now
I set up a wiki with the participants listed and invite them to introduce
themselves and post a photo. In groups that are composed of newcomers or a
hybrid of new and existing relationships, this can create a level of comfort
as each person says what they choose. 

At the same time, the democratic and participatory principles of OS are
supported by every member being able to post and edit within the wiki.
During the OS there is ample time to capture (I often use digital photos)
the information shared, and later on the wiki can promote ongoing
conversation. I would caution, however, that the culture and climate of the
group has far more influence over the motivation to collaborate online than
any particular tool that is offered.

Great question, really. I have also

*         Taken a walk in the forest (while there was an assistant present
in the plenary room) to be with the forest beings, admire this wonderful
nature, calm down, get back to the here-and-now and to breathing -
occasionally bringing something back to the center of the circle from nature
when something wanted to come along

*         Figured out what to announce in the next community meeting (this
also happened in front of the plenary room in the sunshine, working with my
laptop, "visibly busy")

*         Re-arranged chairs and the center of the circle

*         Checked with the office assistants and the staff of the site to
find out about necessary coordination or announcements

*         Held meetings with my Open Space staff to evaluate our work and
our cooperation

*         Held meetings with my translator to make sure everything about our
next announcements was clear to him

I would never leave the site unless there is an assistant present in or near
the plenary room and unless I am 100% certain of my next announcements (to
offer a clear and safe frame gives me safety and clarity.). I have never
been bored up to now.

What do you when you're holding the space?

Some things I have done while I was holding space...

*	Called my office 
*	Called  my wife, sister, kids, friends 
*	Called Harrison 
*	Surfed the web 
*	Went for a walk 
*	Wrote bad poetry 
*	Did self-critique of my opening 
*	Sorted papers from my briefcase 
*	Gone out to fill my car with gasoline 
*	Napped 
*	Gazed out a window 
*	Pretended I was not looking at a very attractive woman 
*	Sat around and did "nothing" 
*	Sipped tea or juice 
*	Stopped someone from ripping down other people's posters (happened
just one time) 
*	Felt the feeling of holding space (happens a lot) 
*	Fought off boredom 
*	Watched with fascination 
*	Thought a lot about why this works 
*	Sat in on one of the sessions (very, very rarely) 
*	Listened with surprise 
*	Made this list of things I do while I'm holding space 
*	Picked up coffee cups, water bottles, etc. 
*	Answered questions about open space 
*	Typed up the a list of posted sessions 
*	Answered participants' questions, such as...

*	Where is the so-and-so session? 
*	Have you seen (a specific person)? 
*	Do you do this all the time? 
*	What do I do with these (flip chart pages)? 
*	I've just arrived, what do I do? 
*	Have you ever worked with (names another large group technique)? 
*	There are two sessions that have the same title, what should we do? 
*	Will it be alright if I leave early? 
*	What's going to happen next after all this? 
*	How would you compare our group to other groups? 
*	What have you been doing while we were meeting?

                And my favorite:

            . What exactly are we paying you to do?
