Michael!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana color=#000080 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana color=#000080 size=2>Congratulations to this amazing
record!!! </FONT><FONT face=Verdana color=#000080 size=2>I am happy to know,
that you are very pleased with the run of your big Open Space!
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana color=#000080 size=2>For me, OST with 10 people is
always so very different as with 30. And OST with 90 participants is also so
different as with 150. And an one-day is so different to a two, or three-day
OST. And it is so different, if you have your "own" Open Space or if it is
combined with another event.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana color=#000080 size=2>What do you think, is there also a
special difference between 1000 and 2000? What I know is, that your OST was
an one-day-event at the end of a very big 4-days-conference. With your new
experiences of today - what have you learned about that imbedded setting?

color=#000080 size=2>to learn more from your work, and I am curious about the
longer effects.<BR><BR>Best wishes </FONT></DIV>

<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> 2108 -- Remember the
Number</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>Michael Pannwitz and I, along with a marvelous crew of Open
Spacers entertained some 2108 delegates to a congress in Wuerzberg, Germany.
We in fact had the whole system in the room, and it was glorious. 2108 is our
number, and there doesn't seem to be an official one, so I'll take it. Anyhow,
there were a whole bunch of people. According to Michael, who counts such
things, some 236 issues were posted, of which 150 ended up with reports. And
of course, the whole agenda was created in about 35 min. Michael held the
microphone, and ran the folks through like cattle. Respectfully, of course. At
times there were more than a hundred people waiting to announce their issue,
and the cue curled double on itself. I know Michael was in there somewhere,
but you sure couldn't prove it by sight. <BR><BR>The majority of the people
present spoke German, so Michael and I did a duet. The program said that
Michael would translate for me -- but I quickly disabused folks of that
notion. I told them that Michael would do his thing, and i would do mine --
and with luck we would end up at the same place. Major fun!<BR><BR>Break Out
areas were designated by numbered balloons, and the signs, butterflys and
bumble bees flew through the air with their own magic balloons. Michael's
idea, which was superb.<BR><BR>Lots of learning -- including the fact that OS
for 2000 works just like always. Not a problem. And of course Michael and I
would be pleased to answer any questions that pop up in your fertile
imaginations.<BR><BR>Harrison <BR><X-SIGSEP>
