[OSList] Are You a frequent Lurker on OSLIST?

Fri Dec 12 12:03:03 PST 2014

Lurkers all...That silent presence creating Space, void and welcoming. Rich
with questions yet unasked, you are a blessing and no burden. The essential
ground of deep conversation. Thank you!

OK, so it been about 40 hours since the The Lurker Game got started; almost
2 days.

Almost 70 replies. Some interesting responses! What is most interesting is
what and how people are choosing to disclose so much rich data. Like, their
start with OST, and in what year, what events they have attended, etc. 

There have even been some disclosures about the "why" behind the pattern of
reading but not writing to the list. 

All in all, an interesting game so far!

Let's keep playing.

Some of us were on a call on Tuesday, talking about Open Space....and
OSLIST....

...the participants at the time were....

Karen Davis
Linda Stevenson
Lucas Cioffi
Paul Levy
Peggy Holman
Skye Hirst
Suzanne Daigle
Tricia Chirumbole
Harold Shinsato

We discussed OSLIST culture, and how the culture of OSLIST may not actually
be very easy to figure out...

...we talked about how this list has hundreds upon hundreds of members, with
just 25 to 45 people (give or take) who post or reply with anything close to
a regular frequency, and how some speak with highly authoritative voices.

...we talked a bit about how the culture of OSLIST might actually be kind of
intimidating for new people to participate in.

The Game

We have no idea how many "regular lurkers" are in the group...we talked
about trying to find out.

So: if you are a "regular lurker", someone who examines these OSLIST threads
periodically but does not actively participate ...  are you willing to play
a little game? 

The Lurker Game: you are invited to play...

1. ...The goal is to collectively get some idea of how many of us on the
list are "regular lurkers".

2. ...The rules are: 

*	If you consider yourself a "regular lurker", consider opting in to
the game, by replying...
*	If you reply, absolutely nothing further will be asked of you. All
you are doing is identifying yourself as someone who lurks. That's it. 

3. ...We'll all track the progress by watching the thread, and seeing how
many reply over time. 

4. ...Participation is opt-in. 

To participate, just hit [Reply List] and enter "hey" and press [Enter]
...or...

... (optionally) just say whatever you might want to say, instead

We have no idea what might happen next; let's see what develops. 

Thanks!
Daniel
