OpenSpace-Online, I was remembering the excitement of my first experience being
connected in real-time to the Open Space community. Several years
before I was able to attend my first OSonOS in Halifax, you offered the
pilot of OpenSpace-Online for the OS community, which provided me with the
opportunity to "meet" several OS practitioners who have since become my
friends. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

read, how the jury described OpenSpace-Online: “The "do-it-yourself"
OpenSpace-Online E-Participation Real-Time Methodology is a powerful philosophy
that has the potential to become one of the most earth shifting Internet meeting
and conferencing methods in society, politics, education and other fields.
OpenSpace-Online was developed by Change Facilitator Gabriela Ender and her team
in Germany (1999-2002). The easy to use innovation enables fast collaboration,
knowledge-sharing, problem solving and results-oriented dialogs about urgent
topics for small and large groups in real-time without 'human' online
moderators. During the virtual-led and structured working process all
participants are equal. It also bridges value-gaps between online and offline
collaboration / participation in a wonderful unique way.”</SPAN></DIV>
