Hi Spark, the project she mentioned as an example was a 70-meter traditional Polynesian voyaging canoe being built in Hawaii. The intent was to serve current and future generations and wider communities of human and nonhuman. They were not using OS but surely another fine approach to 'crossing the open space' : )

Thanks Rosa.

I note that the event was on diversity AND entrepreneurship - good way
to frame an open space of both important differences and passionate
shared interests.

I have a teacher who prefers to work out important differences by
working together on a project that serves larger and long-term
community.

Lots of juicy complexity here.

Jeff
