Excellent, Donna!  So glad you can join us.  

 

We’re now up to twenty three registrants.  I’d like to get 100-150 people signed up, which should result in 50-70 participants on the call if past experience is a guide.  Anything over twenty or so should be fine for this initial experiment however.  So if you are so inclined, please consider personally inviting colleagues you think might also be interested in a conversation about what is possible now in the realm of online dialogue and deliberation.  You can use this Hackpad link— http://bit.ly/ostonline2  -- or copy the invite I initially sent to this list.

 

And don’t forget that you are also invited to use Hackpad in advance of the call to introduce yourself, ask questions about the process, share resources and offer some initial thoughts on our topic.  It’s a good idea to play around a bit there before the call so that when it comes time to use this tool for the Marketplace and collaborative note-taking, you are up to speed (assuming you plan on taking advantage of this option, which is not required but is strongly encouraged!).

 

Cheers,

Ben

ONLINE DIALOGUE AND DELIBERATION: WHAT IS POSSIBLE NOW?  

 

You are invited…

 

What: A free two-hour conversation/experiment on the general question “what is possible now in the realm of “online” dialogue and deliberation?”   The conversation will also serve as a test of new tools and techniques that might be used to host virtual Open Space Technology engagements of any length.

 

When: Wednesday, December 19th from 1-3pm Eastern/10am-12pm Pacific/6-8pm GMT 

 

Where: On your phone, or via Skype (if you have a strong internet connection), using the MaestroConference platform--please register in advance if possible using this link <http://myaccount.maestroconference.com/conference/register/56E8FSQ9BHHJQKL7> .  We will also be playing with a set of online documents using the Hackpad platform.  This is optional, but strongly encouraged.  Access Hackpad now <https://hackpad.com/S7GohT68dmG#Welcome-to-Online-D&D-Dec-19,-2012!>  to get comfortable with this tool and connect with other participants prior to the event.  

 

Who: People with an interest in online dialogue and deliberation in general, and/or Open Space Technology in particular. Please feel free to pass this invitation on to anyone you think might be interested. We are planning for a minimum of twenty and maximum of one hundred participants.

 

Why: 1) to provide a venue for open conversation on all aspects of virtual dialogue and deliberation as a gift to the dialogue and deliberation community of practice and 2) to experiment with tools and techniques for virtual Open Space Technology that might be used as a component of the upcoming World Open Space on Open Space (WOSonOS) gathering in St. Petersberg, FL from May 16-19 [note that we recognize that OST traditionally requires more time than this as a rule--our intention is to experiment with a set of protocols that can be used to host much longer engagements as well].

 

How: Please register in advance for the MaestroConference call using this link <http://myaccount.maestroconference.com/conference/register/56E8FSQ9BHHJQKL7> .   You are also encouraged to log in and play with our Hackpad documents <https://hackpad.com/S7GohT68dmG#Welcome-to-Online-D&D-Dec-19,-2012!>  prior to the gathering to get familiar with the platform.  You can use our Hackpads now to post an introduction of yourself as well to exchange ideas with other participants. For more information on alternative ways to call into MaestroConference, click here <http://maestroconference.com/gettingin>  or email ben at occupycafe.org.

 

This engagement is being produced by Ben Roberts, in collaboration with Suzanne Daigle, Elaine Hansen, Eric Hansen and Michael Herman, along with the generous support of MaestroConference. Over the next few months, it is hoped that a number of such experiments will be conducted by various self-organized groups, using different platforms and approaches, so that we will have a solid set of options for offering virtual participation in WOSonOS 2013, as well as for anyone who wishes to convene OST virtually for their own purposes. Please contact Ben Roberts (ben at occupycafe.org) if you have any questions, or  <https://hackpad.com/An9KFnIpLe0#Questions-and-Comments> share them via Hackpad.
