In my mind, I like the idea of putting (working title): <b>"Open Space Technology: Perspectives from the first 25 Years"</b> into the community and seeing what stories emerge. Then ... only then, clustering those ideas/stories and then discovering the emergent themes and presenting those stories under those themes. Then as a community, or at least, those interested in working on the project, coming together to organize and explore the next steps... I would be interested in being a part of the self-organizing team that gently facilitates this process. <br> <br>I look forward to hearing feedback and seeing where this conversation goes. <br><br>All the best --> Kas Neteler<br><br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, May 16, 2010 at 7:53 AM, Harrison Owen <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:hhowen@verizon.net">hhowen@verizon.net</a>></span> wrote:<br> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0.8ex; border-left-width: 1px; border-left-style: solid; border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex; position: static; z-index: auto; ">Doc -- this is kind of fun.
