Sort of kind of Open Spaces for Microsoft

[Esther Matte]

Hi Doc,

 

I moved to NYC this summer, and may be interested in this. Although I must
admit I’m not crazy about working for free for a big company like Microsoft.
I’d like to know more about the context and the goal, please. Also about the
framework as I am familiar with OS and AI, but not a whole lot with WC or
fishbowl. 

 

Looking forward to reading you :-)

Objet : Sort of kind of Open Spaces for Microsoft

 

I'm working with Microsoft on a series of events called MSDN Developer
Conference (MDC - http://www.msdndevcon.com). They are one day events around
the country over the next few months.

 

They want to hold some kind of community-driven discussions in parallel to
the scheduled presentations.

 

I've convinced them NOT to call these things "Open Space" because of the
mental/emotional attachment those words have for so many people.  We're
toying with names like "The Conversation Realm" or some such.

 

With that background, I have two questions for this community:

 

1.      Do you have suggestions for creating a hybrid thing that will
facilitate community-driven discussions, and that will run in parallel with
the organized, eyes-front sessions? I'm exploring basic tools like
fishbowls, approaches like World Cafe, and others. 

2.      If you live in or near one of these cities (see the website), would
you be interested in doing a non-paid gig for the Microsoft office in your
region, based on whatever framework/approach we come up with?

 

Just for clarity, I will be facilitating a number of these, depending on my
schedule, client commitments, and such.

 

I'm looking forward to whatever comes of this.

 

Thanks,

 

...Doc
