good on the sweden chartering, thomas. i'll fix that in my notes.<br><br>and sticking with what we can document and cite in wikipedia, i decided to go with 5 as the smallest, rather than try to explain the finer points of the practice! wikipedia is not going to understand how a meeting methodology can work in groups of "0" to 5000, i think <grin><br>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">i've wanted to ask you
all to help me build out a list of statistics, a sort of open space tech
"by the numbers". i was going to make this part of the osw
site, but it might come in very handy in posting as part of this wikipedia
article.<br>
<br>
here are some examples, please check my math and add any other interesting
numbers:<br>
<br>
-the first ost meeting happened in 1985 at the symposium for organization
transformation (OT)<br>
-a total of 20 OT symposia were held annually, that last 19 of them were run
"in open space"<br>
-ost meetings have now happened in 165 countries, as listed at <a href="http://openspaceworldmap.org" target="_blank">openspaceworldmap.org</a><br>
-there are 469 facilitators listed in the <a href="http://openspaceworldmap.org" target="_blank">openspaceworldmap.org</a><br>
-the worldwide open space on open space practitioner conference has been
annually since 1993<br>
-the wosonos conference has been held in 8 different countries <br>
-an email group, called OSLIST, for
practitioners worldwide was started in 1996.<br>
-as of december 2009, there are more than 26,400 messages in the OSLIST publicly searchable archives.<br>
-OSLIST membership in december 2009
stood at 662.<br>
-there are __ open space institutes active around the world.<br>
-three open space institute groups (US, Canada,
and Germany)
are formal, government-chartered, non-profit organizations<br>
-<a href="http://openspaceworld.org" target="_blank">openspaceworld.org</a> offers (or links
to) explanations of open space technology in more than 20 different languages.<br>
-harrison owen has authored 8 books on the
process.<br>
-harrison owen estimates that there have been
more than 100,000 applications of open space since 1985.<br>
-the smallest open space meeting commonly reported was a meeting run by harrison owen, for 5 participants (when 7 others were
snowed out)<br>
-the largest open space meetings commonly reported were in germany, 2108
participants, facilitated by harrison owen and michael pannwitz (theme?) and
____ participants at a girl scouts event in _______, facilitated by christine
whitney sanchez and (others?)<br>
<br>
what other numbers might we offer? and did i get these right?<br>
