[OSList] Four-Day Virtual OSonOS in July

Sat Jul 4 14:35:25 PDT 2015

Hello OS-niks,

I watched Lucas' 4-min QiqoChat video walk-through
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsp5kz6QcTo> just now and it's pretty
great!
>From that overview I can already see that it's a platform that does
everything I would ask it to, short of actually transporting us into a room
together: audio, video, collaborative note-taking color-coded for each
contributor, screen-sharing, live-chat across the whole VOSonOS - that is,
between / across all the break-outs and butterflies, possibility to share
links and other resources in real-time.
And it's all on one screen.
Plus looks like it's very easy to buzz between the break-out sessions, with
just a click.

I am excited to play with it, with you, and learn a lot together at this
VOSonOS next week.

love and cheers from an excessively hot Seattle,
Christy

>> We have learned so much about bringing people together. We have imagined,
>> invited, and unleashed. We are agile and appreciative, artful and
>> improvisational. Our media is social, our networks are linked, and upstart
>> movements can have national and international effects. We mix the newest
>> technologies and the oldest human patterns. We work on peace AND high
>> performance, passion and purpose, sharing and storytelling. We focus on
>> what’s working, why it works, and how we can make more of it.
>>
>> So what? And now what? The world is under pressure, in every time zone,
>> maybe like never before – socially, politically, economically,
>> environmentally, spiritually. Everywhere, complexity, diversity, real and
>> potential conflict, and urgent needs are more obvious than ever. What is
>> the opportunity here? What is our responsibility? What are the
>> possibilities – and the practices that are working now – *where you are?*
>> *A Virtual Open Space on (All Kinds of) Open Space *
>>
>> What are you learning about creating what you want in the world – in
>> organizations and markets, communities and families, body and mind? What is
>> your practice and what is it becoming? What can we learn and do now
>> together to make a difference in your work? And what could happen if we
>> work and learn together, all around the world, all at once, even for just a
>> few days? This is what we want to find out, in a four-day virtual
>> conference experiment in world-around self-organization.
>>
>> Anyone with a good head and a good heart, actively engaged in bringing
