[OSList] You are invited to come experience an Online OST Meeting, recommendation

Thu Feb 7 04:04:44 PST 2013

Hi everyone, 

If you want to be surprised, I recommend to attend one of the online
collaborative meetings. I joined the OST meeting on January 9th and I
certainly was surprised. To be frank, I joined to see how things work out
with this software. It turns out that the online meeting works out pretty
much the same as a live OST meeting. You just have to raise your hand
virtually if you want to say something. There is a live facilitator, and
Richard is a very good one, I learned from the way  he introduced the rules
and law and made participants feel comfortable.  

Give yourself 15 minutes to get used to the tool. The instructions during
the meeting are very clear, so agenda setting, forming subgroups and making
a report are done as usual. I enjoyed the experience of talking to people
from all over the world. Opens not only Space, but also Time. 

Of course, nothing beats meeting face to face, but for me this is the best
way to get people together fast, easy and at low costs. 

Enjoy the Open Space and Time Technology, 

Best, 

Tonnie

Onderwerp: [OSList] You are invited to come experience an Online OST Meeting

Hi Everyone!

You are invited again to come out and have a taste of our online OST meeting
experience! We have had great feedback from participants about the process
and we continue to improve upon our online OST solution. If you have ever
wondered if OST can be effectively done in an online environment with a
rich environment of voice, whiteboards, breakout rooms, agenda creation,
reports and a feeling of connection with others, then come out and
experience it for yourself! We have designed it so it's almost like the real
thing, except it is online!

Join us for one or more meetings. These trials are free to attend, so feel
free to invite your friends/colleagues too! (We have room for 100 people per
session)

 Here are the upcoming themes and dates. Times below are in North America-
Mountain Standard time. Click the link(s) you are interested in below for

traditional style

the groups

-  Ability for everyone to write/draw on the whiteboards for collective
brainstorming or note taking

-  Everyone can "bumblebee" by putting moving themselves to different
breakout spaces or go to previous breakout times to view "Breaking News"

-  "Emocons" to express emotions felt... smiles, clapping etc. 

-  Butterfly Room for quiet reflection or side conversations

-  Pictures of attendees shown when they are speaking(if participant has

-  For clients with the desire, we also provide asynchronous discussion

discussion and review off-line. (You will not experience this in the free
Collaborative Circles at this time.)
