[OSList] The 2020 Online World Open Space on Open Space - Planning Discussion

Mon Jun 1 10:24:10 PDT 2020

Here's a version that's slightly longer than Harrison's suggestion,
preserving the simplicity he points to, adding a touch of our history, and
then just getting on with the show.  I've posted this to Lucas' document
for comment, or maybe this will this suffice as is?  Can we get on with
setting up chairs (zoom accounts) and inviting friends?  I can create an
invitation/registration page at openspaceworld.org, as soon as logistical
details are worked out.

Opening More and Better Space Everywhere: Issues and Opportunities

For 30 years, old friends and new have been gathering annually to share
Open Space practice stories, learnings and good cheer.  The world-around
history of the Open Space on Open Space is well documented at
openspaceworld.org/osonos.

This year, we’re rained out in Berlin by COVID-19.  The good news is that
we are moving to QiqoChat.com, where we’ve already had great experiences
meeting and working together (see VOSONOS 2015 at qiqochat.com/vosonos).

Please join us on [dates/times]!  Click here for registration and details
[link].  Be prepared to be surprised!  And consider signing on as a
co-convener.  The requirements for that are simple: show up, bring friends
and add spirit.  Spread the word!  Open the World!
