Open Space in Second Life

[Holger Nauheimer (Change Facilitation)]

Hello Harrison,

don't we all have 9 lives? Second Life is a virtual world which was created
a couple of years ago and is inhabited by some millions of people. A free
client program called the Second Life Viewer enables its users, called
Residents, to interact with each other through avatars. Residents can
explore, meet other residents, socialize, participate in individual and
group activities, and create and trade virtual property and services with
one another, or travel throughout the world.

All major US Universities and many non-profit organizations have their
training sites in Second Life. For example, I visited the Centre for Virtual
Native Lands, a education site on Native Americans.

I just posted a short article about the conference experience, at 
http://www.change-management-blog.com/2009/07/conference-and-world-cafe-meeting-in.html
(you can see some photos, unfortunately my video technology did not work well).

While the World Café community has already started to inhabitate and utilize
SL, I haven't heard about an Open Space workshop done there. It would be
quite a challenge to do so but it is quite a difference to other forms of
virtual meetings because it comes much closer to real meetings (you can move
around, meaning "physically" use the Law of Two Feet, use voice or chat
technologies, use whiteboards etc.). But, as I said, creating the
environment for an Open Space workshop - as an experiment would be worth the
try.

Anybody out there who wants to support me?
