wow. i'm impressed. all those groups look an awful lot like breakout groups to me. and as harrison has said, what goes up on teh wall, IS the vision. <br><br>in the homepage of <a href="http://openspaceworld.org">openspaceworld.org</a> there are two sections... "where is open space" and "what is oepn space" the latter is a short description/explanation in 20 languages. <br>
<br>ning is listed with other links in teh "where is" section. but this report really looks to me like "the vision" -- and the beginnings of a really good answer to "what is open space."<br>
<br>thanks, holger. let us know if/when you start using the discussion or email list function, whatever they have there at ning? so you won't have to do manual updates for us?<br><br>m<br><br><br clear="all"> <br>--<br>

3. Activities<br>
There haven't been much substantial activities in terms of content<br>
generation. In the moment people pop in and send personal messages to people<br>
they have met sometime. It is currently a kind of great hang out for<br>
spaceniks. Groups are forming and I expect some more activities in the next<br>
days. What is most striking for today is the multi-lingual discussions that<br>
are happening.<br>
<br>
