Is there an all in one solution, readily prepared for online open spaces? I need it for less and for more, than 50 people.

>>> Exchange... yes. And on that note I might suggest that "getting the whole system in the room" (Marv Weisbord's phrase) is certainly related to the idea of diversity -- but not quite the same thing a my meaning when I described "diversity" as one of the critical five preconditions for self organization. My understanding of diversity may be achieved when "all who care" are there (for the OS). "Caring" is the operative word. Putting it simply: "If you care, you got to be there." "Those who care might include: The whole system, less than the whole system, or more. I've had the experience (as I am sure you have as well, Michael) when total onlookers, just casual observers, suddenly discover that they have an interest, some input -- and actually care. Sometimes they just stand in the doorways, but on occasion they just moved right in and took over -- to the benefit of everybody. Why or how -- who knows??? But they cared! I've seen this happen often enough that I added another little reminder to myself and whomsoever..."Honor the Stranger." They always show up and their gifts can be extravagant. Strangers in out midst is by no means a bad thing.

After that I've offered Lucas Cioffi from Qiqochat a sponsorship for an online event with up to 300 participants but he declined: He will offer the use of Qiqochat for such an event for free!
