Open Space Tech article on Wikipedia marked as spam, being readied for "speedy deletion"

[Michael Herman]

i've wanted to ask you all to help me build out a list of statistics, a sort
of open space tech "by the numbers".  i was going to make this part of the
osw site, but it might come in very handy in posting as part of this
wikipedia article.

here are some examples, please check my math and add any other interesting
numbers:

-the first ost meeting happened in 1985 at the symposium for organization
transformation (OT)
-a total of 20 OT symposia were held annually, that last 19 of them were run
"in open space"
-ost meetings have now happened in 165 countries, as listed at
openspaceworldmap.org
-there are 469 facilitators listed in the openspaceworldmap.org
-the worldwide open space on open space practitioner conference has been
annually since 1993
-the wosonos conference has been held in 8 different countries
-an email group, called OSLIST, for practitioners worldwide was started in
1996.
-as of december 2009, there are more than 26,400 messages in the OSLIST
publicly searchable archives.
-OSLIST membership in december 2009 stood at 662.
-there are __ open space institutes active around the world.
-three open space institute groups (US, Canada, and Germany) are formal,
government-chartered, non-profit organizations
-openspaceworld.org offers (or links to) explanations of open space
technology in more than 20 different languages.
-harrison owen has authored 8 books on the process.
-harrison owen estimates that there have been more than 100,000 applications
of open space since 1985.
-the smallest open space meeting commonly reported was a meeting run by
harrison owen, for 5 participants (when 7 others were snowed out)
-the largest open space meetings commonly reported were in germany, 2108
participants, facilitated by harrison owen and michael pannwitz (theme?) and
____ participants at a girl scouts event in _______, facilitated by
christine whitney sanchez and (others?)

what other numbers might we offer?  and did i get these right?
