Sonoma County, California, we hosted an open space for 75 local activists for
three hours one evening. Didn't solve all the problems of the county, but of
the 15 topics generated, some became ongoing working groups which fostered big
policy changes around development, transportation, and the like. So we can hope
that seeds are planted in the short event that yield much fruit (or fine wine)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

> Hallo all<br>
> <br>
> I thought I would share with you this website:<br>

> http://bigsocietyopennight.eventbrite.com/ <br>
> <br>
> This is a meeting to discuss the new (coalition) government's approach to<br>
> the 'Big Society' which is one of our new Prime Minister's 'big ideas' to<br>
> engage more people in creating a better society. The advocates argue is
all<br>
> about empowerment<br>
> (http://www.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/media/407789/building-big-society.pdf)<br>
> while the detractors argue that it is about providing voluntary 'cover' as<br>
> the state is rolled back. Time will tell of course.<br>
> <br>
> Interestingly the meeting will "be facilitated using open space
technology<br>
> which will enable all participants to shape the agenda". I have
managed to<br>
> secure a place at this event with a view to seeing who is facilitating of<br>
> course! But also to use the opportunity to explore the wider use of OS in<br>
> creating this 'big society' which as we all know - would be an
extraordinary<br>
> good fit!<br>
> <br>
> I will report back - watch this space!<br>
> <br>
> Very best wishes<br>
