[OSList] Help with Open Space technology

[Romy Shovelton]

Hi Gwen, 

The OS community is wonderfully supportive and has been for SO SO many years. Glad you have received help.

Just wanted to say ’thank you’ for the two brilliant quotes at the foot of your email. Wonder-full ! 😊

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.

>> 
>> 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 <https://qiqochat.s3.amazonaws.com/stories/attached_files/000/009/315/original/OSLIST_Screenshot.png?1645904551> 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
>> If you'd like to chat, please join our open office hours this week <https://learn.qiqochat.com/events> or reach out to me by email.  Please feel free to send any questions!

>> I’m on the board of a grassroots Organization  (Ohio Community Rights Network-- <https://www.ohiocrn.org/>https://www.ohiocrn.or <https://www.ohiocrn.org/>g).  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,
