[OSList] Using OST to facilitate Agile process

[Andrea Chiou via OSList]

Lari,

You inspire with this story. 
Please keep sharing how this larger experiment grows as the smaller ones take place around Lean startup and scrum. It sure sounds to me like you did 'know' about open space agility !! You were creating the same events.. So exciting!
