Chris was there. So was Harrison, and others on this list.

At one point, I joined two of my colleagues who were just standing still looking into the distance. All of the sudden, the clouds cleared and in this place that had looked empty was the largest “colony” of spider webs I’ve ever seen spread between two trees that must have been 15-20 feet apart.

>>>>>> · We had 43 participants on the call for at least some of the 90 minutes, mostly from the US, but also including several from overseas.
>>>>>>
>>>>>> · Six topics were initiated by participants
>>>>>>
>>>>>> · In addition to the topic breakouts, there was a “meet and greet” session for just hanging out and connecting. This also served as a place to welcome late-comers to the call. As a result, the latter were easily integrated and able to join the conversations of their choosing
>>>>>>
>>>>>> · The topic conversations lasted a little more than 40 minutes
>>>>>>
>>>>>> · We ended with a full group “popcorn-style” harvest and some announcements
>>>>>>
>>>>>> · A number of participants attended a debrief after the official end of the call
>>>>>>
>>>>>> · A few participants also stayed on the line “overtime” to continue their topic conversations
>>>>>>
>>>>>>
>>>>>>
>>>>>> MC’s new “social webinar” worked beautifully, allowing participants to do the following:
>>>>>>
>>>>>> · Exercise the law of two feet (really!)
>>>>>>
>>>>>> · See who was in their breakouts (including a thumbnail and contact info, if provided)
>>>>>>
>>>>>> · See who was talking or had their “hands” up
>>>>>>
>>>>>>
>>>>>>
>>>>>> Using “hackpad,” we were able to do the following:
>>>>>>
>>>>>> · Open the marketplace in advance, in order to both save time on the call and allow for some online discussion to get going. Five out of the six topics were initiated in advance.
>>>>>>
>>>>>> · Provide an index of topics and the “room numbers” for each (so that participants could move themselves to the right room)
>>>>>>
>>>>>> · Take collaborative notes during breakouts, with a separate pad for each one (note that “social webinar” now also provides shared document functionality for each breakout room, if desired)
>>>>>>
>>>>>> · Continue sharing notes and reflections once the call had ended (this is still ongoing)
>>>>>>
>>>>>> · Make detailed introductions before, during and after the call
>>>>>>
>>>>>> · Compile a shared listing of resources
>>>>>>
>>>>>> · Make announcements and requests
>>>>>>
>>>>>>
>>>>>>
>>>>>> It was also possible for participants to engage fully via their phones only (including moving between sessions) without using either hackpad or “social webinar.” This was important, as not everyone was able to be at a computer, and some who were at one had trouble using the online tools.
>>>>>>
>>>>>>
>>>>>>
>>>>>> Not everything was perfect, of course, and there were some lessons learned. The biggest challenge was that, despite many emails and online explanations in advance, some people were confused by the three ways to engage (phone, hackpad and social webinar) or had trouble accessing one or more of these elements. The vast majority, however, were either able to use these tools or to have a valuable and satisfying conversation without them.
>>>>>>
>>>>>>
>>>>>>
>>>>>> I expect that there will be future iterations planned on behalf of the Charter for Compassion, and I will promote them to this listserv now that I feel comfortable handling larger groups! MaestroConference is also very interested in promoting a series of large group “conversations that could change the world.” Perhaps there are some folks here who might want to collaborate with me in convening one? They plan for their platform to be able to manage calls in this way with over a thousand people in the near future. The thought of being able to regularly engage people at that scale in this way is pretty exciting!

>>>>> Kári,
>>>>>
>>>>> The Radical Inclusion folks worked on developing an Open Space in Second Life back in 2009, and used Open Space in Second Life as part of a 150 person online event June 5, 2010. Holger Nauheimer, Julianne Neumann, and others.
>>>>>
>>>>> I'm looking through my old emails to look for tracks and trails. I didn't participate in their online unconference, only a small part of which was open space, and their NING site seems to have been decommissioned. The few meetings we held back in 2009, I do remember that the prospect of Open Space in Second Life looked like it would be largely consumed with training the participants in the use of Second Life. At least my own enthusiasm fizzled. There is a website for the exploratory meetings - http://osinsl.pbworks.com - but you have to request access and it doesn't have that much content.
>>>>>
>>>>> I think there's a lot of promise in what Ben Roberts is talking about with Maestro Conference. They've been working on their Social Webinar for years now and it's great it's finally working.
>>>>>
>>>>> I'm also thinking the MIT open source project mentioned a few weeks ago on the OSList has great potential for a low cost (or free if you can get the hosting and setup) online open space with video. https://unhangout.media.mit.edu/how-to-unhangout/.
>>>>>
>>>>> A simple phone interface, or a familiar (like Google Hangout) platform would be much better than Second Life. Maybe in the future the training overhead won't be needed for a virtual world - thus the great value of a phone interface like Maestro. Everyone knows the phone.
>>>>>
