[OSList] a fresh look at the meeting "agenda"

Kari -- there is a secret "control" mechanism which spreads the posting of
issues across both days. Did I say, "control?" --- :-) Doing it is real
simple. When you create the Post-it "chart" do it in the normal way with
days/times across the top and meeting spaces (as many as you like) down the
left side. Once done cover the bottom 1/3 or 1/2 either by folding up the
paper (if on paper) or covering the bottom part with a sheet of paper (if on
the wall). With restricted availability of post-it, the participants will
move across, taking slots from both days. When you see that they are running
out of time/space slots, just remove/unfold the paper. Works like a charm.

I do not think Ill try to repeat the downer of interrupting and reopening
the bulletin board in the middle of the day unless I am trying the wonderful
John Engles Open Space with a living market place.

My only personal participation in a two day open space (where I was not the
consultant) has been the Wosonos 2010 in Berlin. There we had the two day
agenda open for the first opening of the market place. Now I wonder about
your experience on keeping the second day agenda out of reach and out of
view for the participants until the opening of the second day, so that only
discussion that are posted on the second day can happen on that day. here I
have some notion on the power of sleeping on the topics that get posted the
second day and to keep the space of the second open and free from clutter
from the first day until the second day arrives. I was told at one time that
if the number of spaces per time was unlimited, then all discussion could be
posted in the time available. We could then have all the discussion that are
posted on the first day in that day and keep the second day open until it
arrives so we can be more present for it without attachment that were
created the day before. I would be anxious that no one would post anything
on the second day if it was without any discussions from day one by this
design.
