...and I just published this on the Street Hosting
Berlin<http://streethostingberlin.posterous.com>(A community of
practice of Berlin Art of Hosting practitioners using
Theory U as a group process to innovate around street hosting practices in
the current Occupy and Real Democracy movement) blog without asking you for
permission. Please let me know, if you have any objections or want me to
make changes! This is the
article...<http://streethostingberlin.posterous.com/opening-space-in-egypt-today>

This will be an example of how participatory leadership tools are being
used in the Occupy/Real Democracy movement. We will be having a preparation
meeting with Occupy Berlin on January 8th where we look into hosting a
World Café/OpenSpace with activists and interested public. It has been
called by one of the activists who has been observing some internal
conflicts:
