[OSList] 12/19 Virtual Open Space on the subject of Online Dialogue and Deliberation

[Suzanne Daigle]

Hi all,

It's happening today!  Not too late to join in.  Read Ben's original email
invitation. Using multiple technologies. An ambitious plan with an amazing
design team (I've been very much in the sidelines) and a theme that
embodies the magic ingredients of an Open Space : real issues of concern
that people care about, complex, urgent, lots of diversity, some conflict
and great passion.

Add to this the fact that this is an experiment, no predetermined outcome,
there will be bumps and hurdles along the way but in the end, it is the
journey that becomes the magic and lots of magic has been there already by
just being together.
