wonderful tale! What’s happened is great – but hearing about the journey is
almost better. However, when it comes to the choice of descriptive words
– I think I’ll take “brewing.” Not so much for the process, but the end
result. Perking usually yields coffee, which is nice. But Brewing. . . I
definitely think it is time to raise a glass to you for what you have
accomplished. Great!</SPAN></FONT></P>

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">The evolution of Open Space in
Quebec is certainly following that OS principle. For 10 years, a few people
from Quebec would join the annual OS training either in French or in English
in Ottawa or Toronto. In the new year leadership emerged in Montreal Quebec
and within 3 weeks, 20 people had signed up for an OS learning workshop in
French. </SPAN></FONT></P></DIV>

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Whoever shows up is the right
people. Again, the principle showed its truth. People had an
affinity with the values and principles of OS and quickly felt the deep
potential of this approach ...beyond the method.</SPAN></FONT></P></DIV>

organizer had a special meeting with his organization's decision makers and
convinced them to hold two Open Space events, 200 and 350 people. Two
other participants sent out an invitation the next week for an OS event
on Creativity and Management for the end of April in
Montreal.</SPAN></FONT></P></DIV>

consultant facilitators from the area and a number of workshop participants
met in a somewhat impromptu Stammtisch. The energy just
spread like wild fire and two weeks later, a conference call was held
among half a dozen people intent on building a French OS community in Quebec
and connecting with other French OS people and communities in the world.
