[OSList] Open Space - 2013 and Beyond

[Paul Nunesdea]

Artur, accepting your invitation, I arrive to this list from a different 'technological' tradition and I marvel at Open Space possibilities. 

I find Paul Levy's blog post quite interesting in adopting this stance:

'Me as observer of myself in the universe' 

How to convert this in 

'we as observers of ourselves in the universe' 

is probably the challenge a 'group' faces if it is to emerge in its full 'groupness'.

I wonder wether a degree of self organisation always occurs in any form of 'group technology' and that Open Space Technology differentiates by 'priming' that ever-present force of the universe to become a leading driver for the group activity. 

In that respect I do not see why OST needs to be open to evolution, I see self-organisation as an ever-present phenomena, and like the sun light it sometimes shines with more brilliance than another and sometimes it can also be night.

And I have also something to add, one daffodil does not makes the spring, but one daffodil can be a marvellous instance for experiencing spring. 

Let the dialogue flow...

Unfortunately, neither the Facebook, nor the Blogs are good tools for dialogue. E-mail distribution lists or forums are much better. Oh, but if I remember well, there is a list for that, with archives since 1996 (http://lists.openspacetech.org/listinfo.cgi/oslist-openspacetech.org). I repeat a suggestion I made some time ago to Paul Levy: post this at the OSLIST. You may be surprised with the (open) results. Be prepared to it!»
