just “visited” in the way mentioned above. However, with this conference
I had the opportunity to check-in in a whole different manner. I wonder
about the onsite participants and what it was like for them to feel
online participants adding to the occasion. In what ways was that
addition of attention, intention, passion, ????? experienced?

With the advent of Internet, time and space constraints largely disappear
or at least are majorly modified. And Internet, in its own way, is
definitely the largest Open Space that most of us regularly participate
in. Combining Internet and Open Space in whatever way always, at
least in my experience, creates a very powerful new reality. Actually, at
the first Open Space in Monterey CA (1985) the Internet in its earliest
forms was very much a part of the scene, and in addition to the 85 folks
taking the first plunge into Open Space, there were probably that many
more beaming in from other spaces. In a most remarkable way we found our
time/space bound gathering going timeless and global. <br><br>
