[OSList] Article about OS a question

[Harrison Owen]

Grey - I just couldn't resist. You must have some fleet-footed participants!
In my experience (with my standard opening of 15 min MAX) - by the time
anybody has collected themselves sufficiently to complain about the chaos
everything has already become a smooth flowing recitation of the issues with
the agenda forming rapidly on the wall. If they want to leave then, I say
God Speed and good luck. As for explaining - Don't bother. You will just
confuse them. And they probably won't believe you anyhow!

One of my biggest challenges is explaining that there is a difference
between "unorganized" and "self organized". I've had people leave events at
the "chaos" of the beginning of agenda creation...never to see the beautiful
schedule of classes that results. 

 

Likewise, the difference between "no one in charge" and "in charge of your
own experience."

Fun! One other thing... Doubtless you will and should use the theatre as the
major example of use, but it might be helpful to point out that it (OS) is
not just a theatre thing. AT&T, Boeing Aircraft, Young Egyptians in Tahrir
Square, Monks in Tibet, Rabbis and Imams searching for peace, etc.

Dear Friends,

I've been asked to write an article for the culture professionals network on
the Guardian newspaper website. It will be about our upcoming tour of
"Devoted and Disgruntled: What are we going to do about theatre? " roadshow.
20 open space events over three months all making up one big conversation.
see the tour here..

www.devotandanddisgruntled.com

So of course the article will be about open space.

I'm thinking on the things I want to say and was wondering if people had a
thought about this.

What about Open space do you wish got said in the media that doesn't often
get said?

What would you like me to mention that doesn't  normally get mentioned?

Best

Phelim
