[OSList] Are You a frequent Lurker on OSLIST?

[Shobha Kumar via OSList]

An excellent initiative! I love this game and shared this strategy with my participants for the workshop I deliver on the Art of Knowledge Exchange, where we were exploring and sharing tips on how to energize CoPs. The Art of KE guidebook is attached. As a KE practitioner, I have found the OST principals very useful and even had the privilege of inviting Harrison for a talk at the World Bank.  Have attended workshops too. Have learnt a lot and browse through the rich knowledge sharing whenever I have a chance. Warm thanks and Happy Holidays!

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....

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
