[OSList] Open Space online community numbers

Thanks Michael!

I added the link to your group to this location on the Open Space 
Institute's page " about OST": 
http://osius.org/content/about-open-space-technology

And thank you, Harrison - Numbers are nice, but Spirit rules! Well said!

It's great to appreciate those who show up are the right people. One 
facet of Open Space that I learned recently which helps me internalize 
the principle about whoever shows up are the right people: Open Space 
has a magnetic as well as repulsive element. Better to be alone in the 
magnetic vortex of one's inquiry than with 100 people that aren't really 
aligned. We want to attract, and also repel. A 20 person Open Space can 
sometimes be much more impactful than one with 1000 people. Same with 
OST sessions. The sessions with more than 7 can feel quite crowded and 
therefore be less powerful.

     Blessings!
