Demo OS in 90 minutes?

[Michael Pannwitz]

Dear Annamarie,

for our weekly meetings of the berlin open space cooperative we (all
remembering open space well ;) open the space silently recalling the
opening. Then issues come up pretty quick... However most of the time we do
meet for more than 90 minutes and have just extended the meetings from three
to six hours and whoever shows up... and sometimes like this week we even
miss the silent opening and chaos emerges with everyone working, cooking,
going to meetings with clients in a nearby street Café enjoying the spring
sun...

PS. I believe once people have experienced an open space or maybe a number
of them - everyone can shift into that mode for meetings if you have an
agreement to do so and hold the space together... at least this is what we
try on a regular basis ;)

All the best with your experiment,

Michael
