[OSList] Help with Open Space technology

[Lucas Cioffi]

Hi Gwen,

It's great to hear that.

There are several online platforms that people use to host open space.  At
a minimum, they use Zoom + a notes tool like Google Docs or Miro (a
whiteboard tool for post-its).

If you use Zoom, you can use the breakout rooms inside Zoom and let people
move themselves.  People go to the Google Doc and will see a link to the
notes (or a separate section below for the notes on that Google Doc) for
each discussion topic.

If you want to use multiple Zoom meetings, you can add the link to each
Zoom meeting in the main Google Doc next to the link for the notes for each
session.

The tool that I've built with my team at QiqoChat (with a lot of advice
from people here on the OST discussion list) lets you create many pages,
each page has its own notes tool and each page has its own Zoom meeting
link.  Here is a screenshot

of the main space and the page where people can add their topics.

Here is a page that has a few video interviews
<https://qiqochat.wordpress.com/2021/06/11/facilitator-interview-series/>
of open space facilitators where they show how and why they designed their
event space a certain way.  Here are the ones specifically related to open
space:

   - Online Open Space with Heidi Nobantu Saul
   - Innovations in Online Open Space with The Improbable Team
   - Preview of a 24-hour Open Space with April Jefferson
   - Online Open Space with François Knuchel and Karen Gimnig
