[OSList] Balloons? Indicating discussion areas

[Lisa Heft]

Hi, Dan and others -
I am not locating your original message so please forgive the new title.

I've done Open Space for groups of 2000, 2500 and similar numbers -  
and it's always worked very well to simply place a discussion area  
sign down on the floor in the center of each discussion circle and to  
post large signs ("A through M"  or  "50 through 75" on the walls -  
like arena signs.  Just as in an arena - people find where they need  
to go. If I think they need extra help I color-code 4 quadrants of the  
room differently - but I don't know if this is needed. Pretty,  
though.  Takes no time such as you'd need for filling up, labeling and  
affixing balloons, and the materials are recyclable.  Just a thought,
Lisa
