Open Space Friends Everywhere, 

 

The World is Shifting.  Come Back to the Circle.  Open More Space!

 

If you can find your way to Manila on November 9-12, by all means, do it.  If you can't, then joining from your laptop or phone via the Open Space Community Circle at openspace.qiqochat.com is the next best thing to being there!  

 

We're opening more space.  We have a number of online breakout spaces connected to Manila, plus an online bar, kitchen, porch, pool and newsroom.

 

We will run a number of experiments during the Manila gathering, all aimed at supporting more connections among open space friends everywhere.  Be prepared to be surprised!

 

Here's what we have imagined so far:

*	Opening in Manila - we'll open a connection to the main meeting space in Manila so you can see and hear the opening circle and posting of topics.  

*	Breakout/Butterfly Connections - we'll have four (plus or minus) laptops connected throughout the day so people in Manila can bring distant friends along to breakout sessions, or just have butterfly conversations.  

*	Online Breakouts/Butterflies - there are spaces for online participants to post or flutter into conversations with other online participants.  

*	** Midnight in Manila ** will happen exactly when the name says it will.  Between Days 1 and 2, while Manila participants are sleeping, friends from many other timezones will be wide awake and invited to gather for a couple of hours of meeting and learning together. 

*	Next Year's WOSonOS site selection - for the first time, open space friends tuning in from anywhere can be a part of the conversation about where to gather next.  Maybe we'll keep the connection open for the Closing Circle as well, but that will be up to participants in Manila.

Lucas has made many improvements in the QiqoChat platform since we met there a year ago for the Virtual OSonOS, including a switch to Zoom for the audio/video connections.  Suzanne has made a great video that we'll share with you soon.  

 

Registration is required and is open now:  visit OpenSpace.QiqoChat.com.  The cost is $10 for anyone not participating onsite in Manila, to cover the audio/video costs.  

 

You can send questions and comments to me directly or post them to the list here, so we can answer them for everyone.  The whole experiment will emerge and evolve as more and more people choose to join us.  

 

What we're offering is a space, a platform, for you to learn and contribute and create and connect and discover...  What happens will be totally determined by who shows up – sound familiar?  We'll work out the details as we go along...

 

Please join us – and share this with friends and colleagues, especially on the various OS facebook groups!

 

 

Sharon, Mitch, Joan, Michael, Lucas, Suzanne...
