[OSList] Patterns of OST - to whom is this of interest?

[Harold Shinsato via OSList]

John,

Will you tell me more about your interest in pattern languages for use 
in OST? Your question instantly made me think of the Group Works deck 
that Chris recommended as well. It's a great set of patterns for working 
with groups. A few weeks ago Tricia Chirumbole and I actually used this 
card deck on the absolutely wonderful Open Space Hotline she hosts on 
Tuesdays. We looked at what is needed on the Open Space List. I actually 
picked it at random - and I think it's quite a funny *joke* what the 
Universe revealed at 'random' back in September.

*Embrace Dissonance and Difference*

/Encourage your group to honour contradictory viewpoints, sitting with 
the uncertainty and ambiguity this brings. Acknowledge all perspectives 
as equally valid and explore them fully as needed, especially when 
tensions are high and agreement seems far away./

Even funnier - we wondered what would happen after this embracing 
process were completed. This is what came up at random.

*Playfulness*

/Invite light-hearted and high spirited interaction to exercise mind, 
senses, imagination, and body, to engender creativity, and deepen 
relationships. Playfulness may be evoked through structured but fun ways 
to engage relevant topics, or restorative breaks that allow laughter 
free reign, or may simply show up as humour./

But I think I'm letting the topics on the OSList start to bleed 
together. Please do tell us more about your thoughts of how a pattern 
language could help with Open Space? I'm quite interested. Pattern 
language has made a huge difference in the sphere of software 
development, and it's how I learned about the work of Christopher 
Alexander who first came up with this concept for architecture.

     Regards,
     Harold
