[OSList] Help with Open Space technology

Sun Feb 27 12:38:54 PST 2022

Thank you all for your generous offers of help.  I will pass along this information to my two tech friends—I am just an incurably curious person who likes to have a general sense of how things work, even if I turn over the actual practice of them to someone else.  I greatly appreciate folks like you and may call on one or more in the future.  At this point, I’m more of an instigator/convenor/coordinator who might latch onto tech that makes those coordinating activities easier.

We’ve been talking about organizing a state-wide conference virtually to explore new strategies for our work of securing rights for our communities and for Nature.   I’ve experienced virtual Open Space gatherings and found them “magical” ways to gather and democratically decide agendas and get serious conversations going.  I have two pretty tech savvy folks who would like to learn OS tech to assist with this effort, and am seeking tutoring support.  A friend suggested contacting you.   I was hoping to be able to give OHCRN board a quick demonstration on March 7 (I didn’t realize how much tech stuff goes on in preparation and behind the scenes 😶🤔.)  I’d appreciate any help you can give,
