SPAM-LOW: Re: Open Space in Second Life

[Lucy Garrick - NorthShore Group]

Hi Holger:

As you know I'm a novice at Second Life - meaning I can barely walk  
but I think this is an interesting proposition.

Do we have to develop the environment for convening in SL? If  
convening space is not a barrier,  this is an opportunity to introduce  
the  concept of Open Space convening methods who to those who are  
already doing things in Second Life -- and eventually introduce more  
OST folks to the virtual world.

Best,
Lucy Garrick
