<BLOCKQUOTE><FONT FACE="Verdana"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:10.0px'>In my profession of urban planning, I sometimes have trouble introducing “Open Space Technology” because “open space” is a technical term for space that has not been developed (does not have buildings on it—parks, farms, etc.), and on top of that, the word is associated with a certain kind of planning and does not always have positive connotations.<BR>
<BR>
I’ve often wished for a different name for OST! ;)<BR>

I’m fine with the formal name and would be as fine if HO tomorrow announced it was now going to be known as “Eggplant Parmesan.” For me it’s as much open space sociology as technology – as much about the people as the process, usually more about people than process. This parallels one of my mantras that sociology usually trumps technology.<BR>
