[OSList] Happy wosonos - From Chile to London

Sat Oct 22 03:36:44 PDT 2011

Dear
Juan Luis and the entire Host team of WOSonOS in Chile,
Dear
Suzanne,
Dear members of the London Host team for WOSonOS 2012,

While
I wait for the fully report Juan Luis has offered I have been following the
WOSonOS in Chile, from 3 sources: 
(1)
The marvelous messages that Suzanne is sending regularly about what happens in
Chile; 
(2)
The very synthetic messages from Pablo at the "WOSonOS" group at the
NING site (http://openspaceworld.ning.com/group/wosonoschile);
(3)
The streaming available from http://www.ustream.tv/channel/wosonos-chile-2011. 

[I
am not following Twitter, as I don't like it...] 

The
streaming is interesting in many ways. I have "made time" to see the
opening session and the morning (after my lunch in Lisbon...) and evening news of
the second day (after my dinner). In the opening, one could see everything but
hear nothing. After that, the position of the (fixed) camera has changed
(thanks, Pablo) and, from time to time, I was able to understand small
parts of some interventions...

It
is interesting to see people moving around without hearing almost anything as in
mute films or in bird watching - one can see the "dance" and that's
it! From this limited point of view, I concluded that the dance was marvelous
in the opening (made by Juan Luis and Karen) and not very interesting in the
"Mexican Ola-like - but with shouting" (Ola meaning wave) in the
beginning of the second day, and one could hear some of the interventions in
the evening news.

One
conclusion that I took is that people present in the event must be informed
that the streaming is being done and that to be heard far from the location
they must speakwith the mouth close to the micro (and don't use
bells near the micro...).

But
a more general conclusions that I took is that if one plans to do a "Worldwide
OSonOS" (and not only a "regional WOSonOS with some people from
other regions" - a bunch from the USA, one from Asia and no one from Europe, if
I understood well), close attention must be putted in the way to facilitate worldwide
dissemination and even participation.

Please
don't see my remarks and suggestions bellow as any criticism to the Chilean
Host team, which is making a very good job, as I can understand from Suzanne's
messages, but as suggestions for the London Host Team and for other future
WOSonOS organizers.

First:
WOSonOS must not be considered in the future only as a gathering of the people
that are able to come to the event location, but as an event that takes place worldwide,
based on a specific location, but not restricted to it. The new IT
possibilities must be fully used to assure worldwide participation. 

Second: there
must be used a fixed camera and a mobile one, and have someone monitoring what
the world is seeing and hearing (or not) at every time. Having conversation in
front of the camera must not be done.

Third:
Reports of break out session must be made directly in a wiki, with instructions
to the viewers that they can't edit, but they can add comments to the
discussion (as it was done when the WOSonOS took place in Denmark some years ago). This can
easily be done from free wiki site providers.

Fourth:
a reporter must be assigned to make written and/or graphic reports to be
displayed daily in the same wiki, or in a linked blog – with photos and videos
(from the streaming) also available for the ones that can´t connect synchronously.

Due
to the special characteristics of the UK group that is inviting the 2012
WOSonOS, I think that all this suggestions will be easily done by them - if
they accept the concept...

With
care, 

Artur
