OS for theatre in Berlin

[Michael M Pannwitz]

Dear Phelim,
the German ones are close to what I use which goes like this:

-Die da sind, sind genau die Richtigen
-Was auch immer geschieht: Es ist das Einzige, was geschehen konnte
-Es fängt an, wenn die Zeit reif ist
-Vorbei ist vorbei - Nicht vorbei ist nicht vorbei

-Das Gesetz der zwei Füße...or, in the tradition of leaving things off, 
shorter
"Das Gesetz"

The advantage of the version that I use is that it is not a 
"translation" from English into German but more consequently  uses 
German idiom (also a tribute to the principles being universal).
By the way, I also call the "principles" "facts of life" which in German 
is "Tatsachen des Lebens".

Where will the event take place? I might be close by, living in Berlin.

Regarding your questions:
The number of breakout spaces results from the number of issues posted 
divided by the number of time slots.
In your case you can figure on 75 to 120 issues. Having 3 time slots, 
you need 25 to 40 break out spaces.

I have no experience with simultaneous Open Space events taking place in 
different spaces...but people have reported on this on various occasions 
in this list and felt it worked well.
 From my experience, its great to have large spaces (like the large 
tents we had for the 2108 in Würzburg ... 232 issues...70 breakout 
spaces...total chaos that the participants managed with ease) but from 
your description the space you have is neither very large nor empty!!!

The weather forecast for Berlin is, well, like April, unpredictable.
Today it was sunny, warm, windy and chilly...all within hours.

Have a great time in Berlin
