wall, bells etc.

I agree with Doc -- no hard and fast rule on bell ringing. But there might
be a principle. The core guts of Open Space is people taking responsibility
for what they care for. And part of the responsibility is the management of
their (own) time. So for me I ring bells only at the beginning and the end
of the day. In between folks have to listen to their own bells -- or is it
drummer? There is a also a practical consideration. In large(r) venues when
folks are really spread out you can end up doing an awful lot of bell
ringing -- and I am not sure it does a bit of good. One more thing not to
do!

1. Rolling whiteboard work well.  Or use multiple sheets of flipchart paper
or butcher paper taped together, and find a spot where blue tape/masking
tape/painters tape will hold on the walls to attach them.

2. I have used the temple bells both for opening and closing and, at certain
events, to remind folks when the session time is ending. While this latter
goes counter to what some people would do, I have found that some clients
prefer it. There's no hard and fast rule.

such circumstances? One option I'm considering is using some moveable
curtains wall (that are available) and attach some corrugated plastic to the
curtain rack. It would have to be some light material because the rack is
not super sturdy. But I'm sure there are other options I have not thought
of.

who used them, how and when do you use them? Does anyone ever use them to
remind participants that it's time for the next session to begin? Once at a
very small meeting (and very short) people had difficulty wrapping up the
conversation and go to the next session. Could it be that when there is only
45 minutes allocated for each session that the flow from session to session
become less organic.
