[OSList] Moving through open space! - Inquiry/request

Fri Oct 16 10:54:51 PDT 2015

i'm interested, tricia.

one rule of thumb that might be useful (some have heard me mention this
before), is to plan on as many rounds of conversation as there are people
in the group.  maybe something to consider at the end of the first session
if it seems that it's not really over, but just beginning.  then after that
number of sessions, the group ends, but can re-form itself for another
series, based on who's in.  this lets people get out without missing out,
and get in without needing to catch-up.
