[OSList] FRIDAY INVITATION: Interview with Steve Holyer: Building an Online Carnival—or a Hallway—for Fun Conversations

[Steve Holyer]

Oh, this is cool. Thanks for arranging this Lucas. I’m looking forward 
to the session.

I’m sure we’ve barely scratched the service, and I keep seeing 
patterns coming up in the interactions happening around this list and 
related events like Romy’s near spontaneous "open space on remote open 
space", and the "Open Space on Peace and High Performance" with Suzanne 
Daigle and lots of folks here. Both those events were a month or so 
back.  That sure helped me create a model for the Agile Mardi Gras even 
though it wasn’t an Open Space like you said (except in the expansive 
way everything is truly Open Space.)

Plus, I invited Francois Knuchel on this list to hold the technology 
space for the event. And he agreed. \O/ I knew he’d form part of a 
"dream team" because I keep observing (spoilers) that something 
important happens when an OS Facilitator holds the technology space. i 
hope we get to explore that a bit on Friday.

Cheers,
Steve
