<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:12.0pt'>I
just opened space here for 550 people at the Food and Society Conference.
This was the biggest OST gathering I have ever facilitated, and it's huge in
importance as well. There must have been close to 100 sessions proposed
for today and I'm just gathering my energy for a long day and night ahead of
compiling the proceedings document.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:12.0pt'>I'm
a stranger to the good food movement in the United States, and so it's hard for
me to know what the agenda looks like, but like all Open Space events I trust
that it is what is needed right now. Our organizing question was:
"If you take the margins and social justice seriously, what are the bold
conversations you need to have to amplify and accelerate the impact of good
food." I stepped into the circle following a powerful talk on
structural racism in the food system given by today's provocateur, Maya Wiley
from the <a href="http://www.centerforsocialinclusion.org/struct_racism.html">Center
for Social Inclusion</a>. She dropped a great challenge into the centre
of the circle, speaking about the radical nature of this room full of
people. People were ready to get to work. I have rarely seen a
flood to the centre of the room as I just experienced. It's kind of
overwhelming.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:12.0pt'>So
the participants are in a break now, and soon enough the remainder of the day
will be self-organized. Learning a lot about working with great friends,
all of whom had my back this morning and had the logistics nailed down pretty
well. We had to prepare 140 breakout spaces, in <a
href="http://www.wildhorsepassresort.com/">a conference facility</a> that is
over the top luxurious and is pretty concerned about the aesthetics of randomly
places pods of chairs. Within these constraints, the conference staff
have been great and the hosting team rocks. It's impossible to do one's
best work alone.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span lang=EN-GB style='font-size:12.0pt'>You
can follow along with the gathering at the <a
href="http://www.foodandsociety2008.org/Default.aspx?tabid=56&ItemID=5000456&NID=5010456">Food
