[OSList] Looking for "butterfly" ideas

[Eric M. Kapono]

Another alternative I learned (probably from the great DC Liberating
Structures <https://bit.ly/2X6ctaG>  group) is in Zoom making everyone a
Host.

 

This gives everyone the ability to move between breakouts. It is a little
tedious because the original Host must go through the Participant list and
one-by-one make each person a Host, but if your partner is Opening Circle,
then you can do this in the background. When sessions are posted, folks then
select the appropriate breakout to join (just like a Host). To use their two
feet, they leave the breakout room, end up in the main room, then butterfly
or bumble bee. The caveat here is to not select "Leave Meeting" because
you'll be taken out of Zoom have to click back in; just click "Leave Room".
I've only tried it this one time and it seemed to work well. First-time Zoom
users would need some instructions. 

 

Best,

~Eric

Mark Sheffield and I have published an open-sourced Checklist and Guide for
online OST.  

 

Here it is: scroll to the bottom....

In the online OST design, we use plain old Zoom accounts, one per room and
define Lobby, Hallway, Lounge, and people use these to hang around and chat
with others who congregate there. 

 

We also stay put in the big room after the Open to handle questions and
welcome strays...

 

....and people come and go to/from there and often hang for a while,
sometimes people have beverages with them. 

 

I hope this helps you out a little bit.

 

Regards,

-Daniel

Play4Agile Global, a collaboration of three Play4Agile OS Conferences that
used to be held in person, is holding our first online conference Oct 3-4.
While a number of us have organized and participated in online Open Space
conferences we were wondering about what ideas people have or have tried to
replicate the butterfly experience. Our organizers haven't come up with too
many ideas that creates the same experience.

 

We tried https://theonline.town/ which is pretty cool but the technology is
still a bit young and people were challenged getting in and connected. (It
has loads of potential).

 

What else have people tried?

 

Thanks!
