finished my thesis on community conversation and used Open Space as my research
tool. I too had a hard time figuring out what community was exactly and found
lots of different meanings for the word depending on your situation. I have
skimmed my reference list and found some of the sources that I used to define
community. What ever definition you like, I think that community is a vital,
exciting, challenging, rewarding place that we create for ourselves where ever
we go! <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
