That's one of the things we were exploring with Facilitation Camp and
in a sense was part of the
inspiration for it, the gap between OST and Barcamp-style
unconferences.  In fact, on day one
of Facilitation Camp, there was a session on Open Space vs Barcamp
where the distinctions
between the two were examined.
