Hi Gabriela,

OSO (Open Space Online) signals a friendly message that invites people to

My Big Big Congratulations to you and everyone on your team who have stood

I know that you have been manifesting our Spirit that invites our co-humans

humanity's open future.

Collaboration

Dear Harrison and Open Space friends around the globe,

Today I would love to virtually clink glasses and toast with you on my 10th
anniversary of constant pioneer work in enabling a complete Do-it-yourself
Open Space Real-Time Collaboration Internet Technology.
The day of birth of the OpenSpace-OnlineR Concept, my deep flash of
inspiration, was on July-17, 1999.

** Cheers ** Prosit ** Salute ** to all of you, who share this joy with me
:-)

A few years ago I created a little "birthplace memory picture" just for fun,
please see here:
<http://www.OpenSpace-Online.com/vision_1999.jpg>. Last year, when I was
selected as a Ashoka Fellow 2008, the Ashoka team wrote and published the
following text about my work. Maybe some of you are interested to read how
Ashoka described the OpenSpace-Online story last year, here it is:

I am extremely grateful for those of you who have helped me in so many
wonderful ways to shape my visionary, often financially extreme hard,
sometimes very lonely, but always important and exciting future work.
My vision of a completely new technical dimension of Self-managed Open Space
Real-time Collaboration and Do-it-yourself Change Empowerment for both,
organizers and participants, was huge. In order to realize this dream I had
to step aside from my income as a change consultant and change facilitator,
but frankly even worse was to let go facilitating face-to-face Open Space
conferences and Open Space trainings - stepping aside from seeing all the
shining eyes and hearts of the participants was the biggest "abdication".
But the big momentum of July-17, 1999 was so powerful, that I never had any
doubts to do the right thing.

An extra big Thank You to you, dear Harrison. I will never forget your
encouraging words and supporting energy when we sit together for a long
conversation in spring 2000!  It had filled my "battery" for years :-). And
also a big Thank You to many of you in both wonderful communities, the Open
Space and the Genuine Contact TM community.
Thanks a lot for all your support and recommendations in the past years.

My team and I have several more wonderful reasons to celebrate this summer.
For example the launch of version 3.0 of the OpenSpace-OnlineR Real-Time
Collaboration Technology and the start of our new Corporate Social
Responsibility (CSR) program for educational institutions and non-profit
organizations for the worldwide support of "positive change".

The delights over all this accomplishments are crowned by two new,
internationally very high-ranking prize nominations: the TECH AWARDS 2009,
awarded by "The Tech Museum of Innovation, USA" and the selection as the
TECHNICAL PIONEER 2010 CANDITATE by the World Economic Forum, Davos. The
nomination alone for these very special prizes represents extraordinary
recognition and confirmation of our 10 years of pioneer work in enabling a
completely new dimension of Global Real-Time Collaboration.
