Dear Birgit, Peggy and all,

it would not surprise me to see future evolve events (and other such 
conferences) entirely run in OST format... similarly to what happened to 
the OT gatherings way back when the guy with the hat experimented with 
OST (he did not have that name for it at that time) and everyone found 
that it would replace the old format with all the heavy work for the 
organisation group...

Greetings from Berlin where I look forward to having WOSonOS in 2022... 
fossile free, of course...

In anxiously anticipating the results of elections in Germany, the 
fourth largest economy in the world and the 6th largest polluter of the 
planet... and so far without a plan to meet the worldwide agreed upon 
climate goals...

cheers
mmp

 >>     The Evolve conference has a great line up of speakers and

 >>     list of speakers/conveners includes a few people on our OS
 >>     community, including Harrison Owen, Tova Averbuch, Peggy Holman.
 >>     As well, four of us (Suzanne Daigle, Jake Yeager, Rachel Bolton
 >>     and I) are facilitating a meeting within the conference using Open
 >>     Space Technology. When we were asked to each take a one hour
 >>     session time to have an Open Space during that session, with
 >>     topics posted in the chat window, it felt to me like a speed
 >>     dating version of Open Space. The four of us conferred and the
 >>     result was to have one congruent OST meeting that had five session
 >>     times, using those sessions as topic conversation round times. We
 >>     wanted to offer as much time for the discussions as possible
 >>     within the structure of the conference, and we wanted to provide
 >>     people who attended any of the sessions to have the experience of
 >>     being within something greater, something that could make a bigger
 >>     difference.____
 >>
 >>     __ __
 >>
 >>     Having come up with that as our offer, and having the conference
 >>     organizers agree to one comprehensive OST meeting taking place in
 >>     five one hour sessions over the three days, we solved some of what
 >>     felt limiting to us. Suzanne wondered if we could use the last
 >>     session to have a closing circle of the OST and we all were very
 >>     much in favor of her wish and she is facilitating that session. We
 >>     wanted to use some of the first session to open the space and
 >>     invite for the co-creation of the agenda wall, likely using Miro.
 >>     The agenda wall would be open for more topics to be added. ____

 >>     There are still some challenges to be worked out and with the help
 >>     of the conference organizers, we intend finding viable solutions.
 >>     Right now, the schedule on the website is offered as a list, so it
 >>     appears that there are five different Open Space sessions. We will
 >>     find a way to communicate that what is offered is an Open Space
 >>     Technology meeting over the five sessions. Haven't quite figured
 >>     out how to convey that this isn't limited to five times in which
 >>     there is open space in the conference, but rather that there is a
 >>     meeting method that has great value for collaborative change: Open
 >>     Space Technology. ____
 >>
 >>     __ __
 >>
 >>     I like that the one method that is going to be included in the
 >>     conference itself as a method is Open Space Technology. I like
 >>     that Harrison is one of the speakers for this first time gathering

 >>     and more. Open Space Technology remains (30 years) my favorite of

 >>     Now, back to the conference. It might be the right time, in the
 >>     absence of a WOSONOS conference, to enter into a collaborative
 >>     playground that is designed to enrich with learning of more that
 >>     is happening in the growing field of collaborative change.____
