I begun to ask myself, what can I do to help to spread OST much more than in the present. At this time this question came again and again into my mind and I found it very, very strange. Especially because I was at this time already very active with and for OST. I co-facilitated a few Open Space Conferences and I was very busy with "planning & conducting" OST trainings together with Michael M Pannwitz. "How can I spread even more Open Space?" I found this "inner besetting question" very curious. But over months this question appears again and again. When I experienced the deep flash of inspiration ... it was very C L E A R ... this was the answere ... and OK, I understand, this is my job :). </SPAN><BR style="color: rgb(0, 0, 128); font-family: Book Antiqua; font-size: 14.6667px; "><BR style="color: rgb(0, 0, 128); font-family: Book Antiqua; font-size: 14.6667px; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 128); font-family: Book Antiqua; font-size: 14.6667px; ">And now since a few years, wonderful things happens. Most of the people or organizations, who get in contact with us have no knowledge about OST / OpenSpace. They simply look for fast and easy to use group meetings tools -- mostly via search engines. ´They have an urgent topic and a group and the problem of not being physically together ... they "jump into" a first try to use OpenSpace-Online without being interested in the "deeper" online method. </SPAN></SPAN></FONT><FONT face="Book Antiqua" color="navy" size="2"><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: 'Book Antiqua'; color: rgb(0, 0, 128); font-size: 14.6667px; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 128); font-family: Book Antiqua; font-size: 14.6667px; ">But then, when they feel ... wow ... something here is special, some of the participants and sponsors begin to be corious about the methodology and also often about its face-to-face roots. Then they often read our eBook. This kind of "own aha-discovery's" have led a lot of OpenSpace-Online users to read Harrisons User Guide (its always my first suggestion) and to other wonderful personal and business changes, which we all know very good :). I have had so many of these aha-talks in the past and this is simply "heart-filling".</SPAN><BR style="color: rgb(0, 0, 128); font-family: Book Antiqua; font-size: 14.6667px; "><BR style="color: rgb(0, 0, 128);
