<p class=MsoNormal>A few months ago I didn't know much about Open Space.
After posting to this list, I received some wonderful advice from Funda Oral,
Lisa Heft, and Kaliya Hamlin. I also got a chance to read Harrison's book
and meet him at his DC get-together a few weeks ago. <br>
<br>
Since that time Kaliya Hamlin volunteered and we put together the first
workshop in a series designed to help government agencies implement the
Administration's <a
href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/microsites/ogi-directive.pdf">Open
Government Directive</a> to make government more transparent, participatory,
and collaborative. We were lucky enough to have thirteen federal agencies
present their work that day (<a
href="http://opengovdirective.pbworks.com/List-of-Presentations">list of
presentations is here</a>).<br>
<br>
The Department of Transportation has now given us a tremendous opportunity to
create a follow-on event which reaches deeper into the government
community. The DOT is hosting our next full-day workshop (half
presentations and half open space) on January 11th here in Washington,
DC. We just announced it on Friday.<br>
<br>
I am returning to the OS list to post a few notes:<o:p></o:p></p>
<ul type=disc>
<li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;
mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'>If you live within driving distance of Washington,
DC please attend. There is no cost to to you since the US Department
of Transportation is providing all the space and tech support. We
need your expertise so that when federal employees start asking questions
about citizen engagement and participation, they can learn from you.
<a href="http://opengov-workshop.eventbrite.com/">RSVP here</a>.<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;
mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'>We need 1-2 volunteers that are interested in
participating to help document the event. Your efforts will be truly
appreciated. When we submit the funding request for workshops #3-10
to the GSA, you will be on our team and will get paid for your efforts
going forward.<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;
mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'>If you cannot attend, you may watch the live
streaming video online on January 11th. <a
href="http://opengov-workshop.eventbrite.com/">RSVP here</a> to be
notified of the link when it is live. You'll be able to participate
remotely using Twitter and email.<o:p></o:p></li>
<li class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;
mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1'>We are so thankful for this opportunity, and we
recognize that it certainly comes with a responsibility to present the OS
community to 100+ federal employees from dozens of agencies in the best
possible light. We are determined to get this right. Please
don't hesitate to send us your advice; we hope to see you on Jan 11th.<o:p></o:p></li>

<p class=MsoNormal>A while ago Lucas Cioffi popped up on this list asking for
many facilitators for an unconference around the Open Government Directive. <br>
<br>
Since then we have been working together and produced one event on November
16th. It used a rapid fire presentation format along with some audience
conversation guided by common questions. <br>
<br>
We are going ahead with a 2nd conference on January 11th in DC. It will
use a similar rapid fire presentation format (5 min preso's with 2min of
questions) structured audience conversation and then spend the afternoon in
Open Space Technology - we will make our agenda before the lunch break and then
have 3-4 sessions (time slots). <br>
<br>
Because unconferences have a slightly looser "binding" and
"intention" then open space done within organizational contexts to
solve problems it is a challenge to actually collect notes/proceedings. I have
been working with Heidi Nobantu Saul to develop systemic ways of doing
documentaiton specifically in unconference settings. We would be using
this method. <br>
<br>
Lucas and I are wondering if there are one or two people who are seeking more
experience with open space technology and would like to volunteer to play a
role in leading the documentation / collection of notes effort at this event. <br>
<br>
I will be flying out form California to facilitate this event on the
11th. Neither Lucas or I or anyone else is being paid for this gig. We
are looking at moving into an ongoing series of unconferences focused on the
OGD that would have compensation for those making them happen. <br>
<br>

Thanks,<br>
