[OSList] Who has facilitated at least 7 OST events?

Sat Dec 13 18:48:30 PST 2014

I used have more hair, and it used to be blond. I think I have 
Facilitated about 14 or 15 Open Space events in all since about 2009. 
Since then I've also been responsible for helping arrange many others.

I am primarily interested in bringing the genuine spirit and practice of 
Open Space into Agile adoptions. This is a huge uphill effort. Most all 
Agile adoptions are authoritative top-down mandates of practices, 
instead of inviting and engaging explorations of core principles. As 
such, I think we might have a big opportunity there, to authentically 
open up some space, and make a big impact.

  * I used to program computers and teach other folks how to do it for a
    living. I have a software patent.

  * Lately I've been drawn to biology and the emerging science of
    epigenetics: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epigenetics
  * I entertain many controversial theories, for example:
    http://www.panspermia.org/intro.htm.

My Dad was always fond of saying: "you're really good at collecting some 
very offbeat friends."

That's certainly been my experience here...
