The OS list is and has been such a gift to my learning and the opening of
space inside myself. 

I have felt the spirit of community, energy and generosity every day. 

I will never know all of those who had the vision and passion, through chaos
and order to create what we have. 

With deep appreciation and intention, in this moment I want to say THANK
YOU! 

Suzanne

Hi, 

I am not very active on this listserv but I listen alot.  It seems to me
that if we truly honor the principles of self-organization, everything will
unfold to meet the needs of each person in the community as we  honor our
ability to speak and take care of ourselves.  

I find cyberspace a sort of community in itself.  People join together in
all sorts of spaces and from what I observe, do so based mostly on shared
interests and values. That this community first came together around
Harrison's Open Space convening methodology is nice, AND however it evovles,
I know it will be OK.  

I get a sense of grasping in this thread and I wonder if this about trying
to conserve something is a form that may no longer be possible or desired if
this community is to continue to thrive?  This is more of a question than an
assertion, and I wonder if I am the only one who senses this?

Merci Diane! You found a way to express what I was sensing, and to help me
clarify it all for myself.

In an open space workshop, if I would like to use my 2 feet to find another
conversation, I can pass by the agenda on the wall and find where I want to
go. This is what I hear in Diane's comments, that it could be very useful to
have a place of connection from which each person's passion and
responsibility can flow. 

If each online platform is a breakout room, what could represent the agenda,
or the place we can all get together for opening and closing circles?

Hi Lisa and everyone,

These are very interesting exchanges. There is no question that with the
principle of following passion and the law of the 2 feet, people can take
initiative to go wherever they feel like being. My question is more about
caring for ‘’community‘’.

Can the world OST community and its members as part of that community be
best cared for and nurtured if its place of connection are more and more
dispersed?

With the multiplication of places for conversations, can some core common
place or market place stay, not only alive, but healthy and vibrant to
support ongoing learning for the new and the not so new?

The question becomes where can I post my topic with a safe hope that I will
find a critical mass of people who have an interest for the OST theme and
who, with their diversity, can share a richness of thinking?

How different meetings (conversation sites) can one attend regularly at the
same time before becoming  overwhelmed as well as dealing with the many
learning curves on the technological side?  

Can we, in the course of running around to different places (see a sample at
end of this email *), loose the core conversation place of the community, a
place where you know you can easily find others of that big community?

Maybe Darwin has the answer: a core OST community will end up where it can
best evolve and that will eventually be apparent to all. It’s still worth
reflecting what we want to influence in this evolution because we do have a
part in influencing evolution.

Lisa you say: It's the three of us saying 'so we keep feeling / hearing
other say' about a resource they and we want -and- 'so let's go play!

It’s great that you are attending to what has meaning for you. I hear from
this that playing in the other existing places for conversation (e.g.s
below) has limitations you want to overcome.

So to help me at least decide where I may want to focus my energy and
resources which have their limitations given other demands, can you describe
the added benefits of this new place you are inviting the OS community to go
to and to multiply? There may be very good reasons to do it but I would like
to have a clearer picture of the new possibilities of this new invitation.

*  SAMPLE of OST conversation sites out there:

-       On the international scene, the OS List is already answering a need
for many, to connect and share information, advice and support. The
information is always current as it arrives instantly by itself in our email
InBox – you don’t have to decide which of the many other OST web sites you
will open today. Many say how it is already a challenge to find time to read
everything that is of interest to them on the List.

-       Other offerings like: Harrison Owen’s Blog and web, Link-In OST

-       The international French blog open to anyone around the world. See
http://fosurfo.blogspot.com/ - created 2 years ago by the Regroupement
francophone du Forum ouvert (RFFO) just after the French international
OSonOS in Quebec.

-       OSWorld.org web where we are invited to contribute - many internet
searchers transit through it and we’re invited to visit the web sites of
many who developed materials on OST.  

-       Public places that we’re invited as a community to keep current on
OST knowledge e.g.:  World Map, World Scape, World News, Wikipedia,

-       Just around Open Space Institute Canada Institute (OSIC) we have 3
forms of networks for conversations and information not counting a growing
number of individual websites rich with OS information listed on OSIC’s
website.

Looking for insights on the future, in the spirit of  having a healthy OS
community,

Sincerely,

Diane
