Thank you Alan for issuing the invite to the WOSonOS conference.
To friends in OSLIST, do come and join us in Manila.
Please share our invitation to others.
The 24th World Open Space on Open Space (WOSonOS)
November 9-12, 2016
Manila, Philippines
The world is shifting.
Come back to the circle.
Open more space.
The world is shifting like never before. Whether you are in government, private sector, or civil society, working on issues that are complex, diverse and urgent seems to be the new normal. More and more, you need to equip yourself with tools that allow for deep engagement and high creativity to respond to complex challenges.
Open Space Technology (OST) is a tool to use when you want people to operate with high levels of engagement, passion, and commitment for action. Whether you are facing a water crisis in your community, creating a strategic plan for your school, rebranding a new product or defining the biotechnology roadmap – OST is the tool for you. OST taps into the collective power and wisdom of a group to produce better results.
The WOSonOS Conference makes use of OST as an approach to people engagement. It offers you the experience to be hosted in the technology, a chance to practice using it, and a space to dive deeply into the practice with other enthusiasts, neophytes, and those who are simply curious about the technology, in and from different parts of the world.
Join the WOSonOS! You are sure to walk away with a tool and ability that can help you and others work well together in these times of increasing uncertainty and complexity.

G'day All
To enhance awareness of this *forthcoming wondrous event
<http://www.wosonos2016.com/>* I have been requested by the organising
committee in Manila to help promote it to Aussies.
Which I have done by posting to people on diverse Downunder lists, bcc to
'stalwarts' I refer to.
Here is a copy for more widespread notice.
I am most happy to do this having attended five WOSonOS gatherings,
starting with Monterey in California in 1998 and the most recent in St
Petersburg in Florida in 2013.
And would say that they have all been great experiencing through learning
more of what an impactful process OST is in many contexts, particularly
highly complex and conflicted. There are increasing numbers of these
situations, for which so much more could be done effectively were OST
brought to bear.
*If you are looking to extend your understanding of OST and its widespread
applications you would do well to register for this 'in our patch' event. *
Equally memorable, and personally beneficial, from my participating in the
WOS gatherings have been the fine friends I have made from every one. These
stalwarts are scattered all around our little planet, 3rd from the sun. I
have had much joy from keeping connected with these lively spirits in
diverse ways including Skype, QiqoChat and sometimes - gloriously- in
person.
*How good is that, keeping in close contact with like passioned fellow
Spaceniks, for now nearly 20 years? <smile> *
Could your hopping off to Manila have this kind of impact on your 'self
organising' way of being too? <smile>
To add: Having visited the Philippines twice I can assure you that the
welcome and hospitality you will likely experience there will be
'incomparable'.
*Please pass this on to people in your orbit who are already in tune with
OST and all it can mean. or could be if they knew of this opportunity. *
Looking forward.
Go well

Hi All, thanks for the comments. Here are some replies for Harrison and
Birgitt:
Hello, Harrison, you asked what unique capabilities online tools have.
Here are some ideas about what current technology can do to help OS...
- It's possible for an online OS participant to see all participants in
each breakout space (and the notes being taken in each space) so that they
can make a more informed decision about whether to exercise the Law of Two
Feet (a.k.a. Law of One Click).
- It's possible for someone to bring in additional resources, facts, etc
into a session while it is happening (the downside is that they are also
more distracted than they would be in-person).
- Connecting by video chat has some advantages (cost, environmental
impact, accessibility, etc). There are also disadvantages like
distraction?wait a minute I need to send out a tweet on Twitter; ok I'm
back?and the possibility of less personal connection to other participants.
Here are some ideas about what future technology can do to help OS...
- Multilingual conversations will become possible. For example, one
participant is speaking in Chinese and it's instantly translated so that
other participants can listen in their native language.
- You'll be able to hold an online OS with "robots". I know this sounds
crazy, but it's coming. For example, in addition to creating an
invitation, you can also "create" one or more virtual participants,
selecting their personality type, expertise, etc. They'd be listening and
processing all that is said and they would "speak" when it's their turn as
if you had a person with that personality and expertise level. Think of a
robot playing the Devil's Advocate for a corporation; it could very well
save the organization in some circumstances. As long as all human
participants know that there's a robot participating, I see no harm in
this. It's like having a pet that speaks, and that has it's pros and cons
:) Then again, some day, we might be the robots' pets!
- Virtual reality will enable us to participate in a much more liberated
way. "Virtual reality" can already create an immersive experience; you can
strap on a pair of goggles and it looks like you're in a room with someone
else or a group of people or riding a roller coaster (or a wave!). When
you turn your head to the left, the video feed on your screen adjusts so
that you get the sensation that you are actually looking to the left. The
scenery is interactive in 360 degrees. How is this useful? Well, there's
a discussion on OSList right now about people who lack the ability to pick
up the pens and paper in the center of the circle. When people can assume
a new virtual "body" there will be no limit to what they can do in the
space. Someone who has one skin color can wear a different skin color if
they like. Someone can speak as an endangered species. Sounds crazy, I
know! There are many possibilities, and many potential problems as you can
imagine.
- I'm sure others can add to this list...
Hello, Birgitt, you asked what I'd like to create. I'd like to create
something that people will find useful. I searched the OSList archives and
found a fascinating thread from 2012 started by Suzanne Daigle. To get
there, visit the August 2012 Archive
<http://lists.openspacetech.org/pipermail/oslist-openspacetech.org/2012-August/thread.html>
and
scroll down to "Conversation today with Brian Burt of MaestroConference".
There are so many great ideas from so many talented facilitators on that
thread. I found one of Lisa Heft's responses
<http://lists.openspacetech.org/pipermail/oslist-openspacetech.org/2012-August/527642.html>
and one of Michael Herman's responses
<http://lists.openspacetech.org/pipermail/oslist-openspacetech.org/2012-August/527641.html>
to
be especially helpful.
That conversation lists all the elements that are necessary to be present
to classify an online event as OS. The part that's missing from that
conversation is what the user experience would feel like. Four years have
passed since that 2012 thread and many on this list have had plenty of
experiences with online tools that lend themselves to being used for Online
OS (Tuesday OS hotline, Open Space Online, Zoom, Sococo, MaestroConference,
QiqoChat, etc). Each of these tools has strengths and weaknesses.
*Rather than taking a tool-centered approach (how close could we get to OS
using what's already available), I'd like to take a moment to invite anyone
to share what a great user experience would feel like, gather these ideas
on OSList, and then any of these tool makers could build that into their
platforms.*
Knowing what we now know of online user attention spans, it's got to be
simple.
Example:
1. Participant arrives on a page and sees _____________.
2. Next the participant _______________.

Thank you Lucas.
And please feel free to ignore my next queries/thoughts if they don't spark
any energy in you. You have given a thorough answer as it is. Here are the
questions that come to me in reading what you have written.
-what is your definition of useful and to whom? I appreciate that this is
at the root of your creative surge.
-in a world in which artificial intelligence and its use of big data is
already mastering predictability, and since it is possible for artificial
intelligence to predict what you might answer and how you might answer,
where is the space for human exchange that you want to touch and bring
usefulness to?
-albeit a current trend (and apparent addiction) is for something that is
quick and will capture attention or stands the risk of losing attention,
might not the most useful offering to provide to be something that takes
time, that is not quick, that provides space for people who are reflective,
thoughtful to be in genuine conversations?
-and a question we ask in our Working With OST learning modules: after
examining all of the elements of an OST meeting, what, if stripped away
from the list of elements, for you, would no longer qualify as an OST
meeting?
Warmly,
Birgitt

Hi All, thanks for the comments. Here are some replies for Harrison and Birgitt:
Hello, Harrison, you asked what unique capabilities online tools have.
Here are some ideas about what current technology can do to help OS...
* It's possible for an online OS participant to see all participants in each breakout space (and the notes being taken in each space) so that they can make a more informed decision about whether to exercise the Law of Two Feet (a.k.a. Law of One Click).
* It's possible for someone to bring in additional resources, facts, etc into a session while it is happening (the downside is that they are also more distracted than they would be in-person).
* Connecting by video chat has some advantages (cost, environmental impact, accessibility, etc). There are also disadvantages like distraction?wait a minute I need to send out a tweet on Twitter; ok I'm back?and the possibility of less personal connection to other participants.
Here are some ideas about what future technology can do to help OS...
* Multilingual conversations will become possible. For example, one participant is speaking in Chinese and it's instantly translated so that other participants can listen in their native language.
* You'll be able to hold an online OS with "robots". I know this sounds crazy, but it's coming. For example, in addition to creating an invitation, you can also "create" one or more virtual participants, selecting their personality type, expertise, etc. They'd be listening and processing all that is said and they would "speak" when it's their turn as if you had a person with that personality and expertise level. Think of a robot playing the Devil's Advocate for a corporation; it could very well save the organization in some circumstances. As long as all human participants know that there's a robot participating, I see no harm in this. It's like having a pet that speaks, and that has it's pros and cons :) Then again, some day, we might be the robots' pets!
* Virtual reality will enable us to participate in a much more liberated way. "Virtual reality" can already create an immersive experience; you can strap on a pair of goggles and it looks like you're in a room with someone else or a group of people or riding a roller coaster (or a wave!). When you turn your head to the left, the video feed on your screen adjusts so that you get the sensation that you are actually looking to the left. The scenery is interactive in 360 degrees. How is this useful? Well, there's a discussion on OSList right now about people who lack the ability to pick up the pens and paper in the center of the circle. When people can assume a new virtual "body" there will be no limit to what they can do in the space. Someone who has one skin color can wear a different skin color if they like. Someone can speak as an endangered species. Sounds crazy, I know! There are many possibilities, and many potential problems as you can imagine.
* I'm sure others can add to this list...
Hello, Birgitt, you asked what I'd like to create. I'd like to create something that people will find useful. I searched the OSList archives and found a fascinating thread from 2012 started by Suzanne Daigle. To get there, visit the August 2012 Archive <http://lists.openspacetech.org/pipermail/oslist-openspacetech.org/2012-August/thread.html> and scroll down to "Conversation today with Brian Burt of MaestroConference". There are so many great ideas from so many talented facilitators on that thread. I found one of Lisa Heft's responses <http://lists.openspacetech.org/pipermail/oslist-openspacetech.org/2012-August/527642.html> and one of Michael Herman's responses <http://lists.openspacetech.org/pipermail/oslist-openspacetech.org/2012-August/527641.html> to be especially helpful.
That conversation lists all the elements that are necessary to be present to classify an online event as OS. The part that's missing from that conversation is what the user experience would feel like. Four years have passed since that 2012 thread and many on this list have had plenty of experiences with online tools that lend themselves to being used for Online OS (Tuesday OS hotline, Open Space Online, Zoom, Sococo, MaestroConference, QiqoChat, etc). Each of these tools has strengths and weaknesses.
Rather than taking a tool-centered approach (how close could we get to OS using what's already available), I'd like to take a moment to invite anyone to share what a great user experience would feel like, gather these ideas on OSList, and then any of these tool makers could build that into their platforms.
Knowing what we now know of online user attention spans, it's got to be simple.
Example:
1. Participant arrives on a page and sees _____________.
2. Next the participant _______________.

Lucas ? your comments as always are provocative. But maybe a bit too literal?
My thought is ? replicating OS (as experienced by human beings in a physical room) is a worthwhile undertaking. The deeper task, I would think, is to open some new space that is available only online. Just as the ?normal? (space/time) OST tends to blow people away ? what is the cyber-equivalent?
I don?t have a clue of an answer. But I do remember ?way back when? ? sitting at my kitchen table with a TI Silent 700 plugged into a phone through acoustical couplings. Suddenly ?it? came alive and electronic beings from all over the planet for the most part (actually I am not really sure where they came from) populated my table, life, reality?. Space hadn?t opened. Space/time was transformed.
What can you do for me baby? I guess that is the question.

Hi All,
I would be super-excited to hear how folks would design the simplest online Open Space experience using video chat.
I posted my thoughts below, but I put them further down so that you might have a moment to think about what online OS experience would work best for you, rather than letting my thoughts influence yours.

Here are my rough thoughts:
1. When the event begins you open up a webpage. You can see the following:
* where the opening circle is
* how many virtual breakout spaces there are
* who is in each virtual space right now
* what is being discussed now and in the future (a bulletin board / marketplace / idea wall)

5. There is a way to share a quick message such as ("I have to step away for a moment").
Thanks so much for any advice. I look forward to hearing what you have in mind!

Thanks Harrison!
You put your common sense.
Who dare to be filled with courage and go out to make a better world?
I also wonder
What is more important for the community that we are, a master and a final
diploma or lead to action with simplicity and grandeur of being almost not
visible?
Harrison, I met you at Wosonos Chile in 2011, I learned that "less is more
...". And if matters a lot, the internal work of the facilitator.
.... I invite friends and post results Actuate, doubts, tears and laughter.
Life!
Blessings to all
