Thu Aug 1 00:53:01 PDT 2013

hello, hello!

quite busy now...just read a bit of the thread...

here the link to the nice conversation we held in Stoke Newington (Wosonos
2012) on the subject... just in case it could add some good idea...

> Dearest OS community,
>
> I have been asked to co-host an Open Space next week where Chilean civil
> society and NGOs will propose ideas to enrich the political programs for
> the upcoming elections.
>
> An unknown number of people could come.  Organizers estimate  around
> 300-500.
> The venue is big enough.
> The umbrella question is being destiled and refined.
>
> In the organizing committee there is an argument about the convenience of
> using chairs.
> Some people feel attached to the almost untouchable sacred geometry of the
> circle of chairs.
> I personally believe that chairs are not an essential element of OST,
> while people can self-organize and decide if they prefer to talk standing
> up, sit on the ground...or even talk while talking.
>
> That is why I take the courage to ask for help to the collective wisdom
> present in this OS community.
>
> What successful stories can you share of opening space without chairs?
>
> What are the pros and cons of not using chairs in an Open Space?
>
> In what ways can (un)availability of chairs be a barrier or opportunity to
> unleash collective wisdom through self organization?
>
> mountains of Love from the cold foggy Chilean winter.
