After a short introduction, I asked the participants for their topics / sessions. Lot of (very diverse) topics were raised, each put an a paper. Each paper was put somewhere at the agenda, but mostly not at a specific location / timeslot. That was probably because I did not put post-its on the agenda, that could be taken by everyone that wanted to host a session (so will do that next time). So we ended with a stack of topics suggested to be discussed, but no agenda yet…<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:38.25pt;text-indent:-18.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2'><![if !supportLists]><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Symbol;color:#1F497D'><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>·<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span></span><![endif]><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>So on to ‘signing up’: based on the discussion on the OS List, I decided to ask the participants to sign up for the topics they were interested in by putting their name on that paper. Result? Nobody did that, but the buzz did certainly get going. And probably a bit different than it should, because we did not have clear topics assigned to location/timeslot. I ‘managed to’ leave it to the group to figure it out. There were some participants that started trying to organize the whole thing (“let’s do it like this…”), but in some way several groups formed about some topics (which were probably all different from the ones posted in the first run) and they got to work and have a good time.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:38.25pt;text-indent:-18.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2'><![if !supportLists]><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Symbol;color:#1F497D'><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>·<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span></span><![endif]><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>I did feel some struggle within me during the event. Before we got started one of the participants told me about a (to me very good and clear) topic he wanted to discuss, but for some reason he did not raise it in the group, but chose to raise another topic (to me very vague). I felt some regret, decided to let it go, but when another topic related topic came up, I did make a reference. That went nowhere, so probably I should have stayed out in the first place. Later when I listened in to some of the conversations, I got the feeling that some participants were more involved than others, so I started wondering ‘why don’t they use their 2 feet?’ and ‘should I remind them about that possibility?’ I did not. Any other experiences on that? I had the idea that participants still feel it as not done / not polite to leave a session… Guess I am still trying to find the balance letting the group do it themselves and trying to influence / taking care of the participants <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoListParagraph style='margin-left:38.25pt;text-indent:-18.0pt;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo2'><![if !supportLists]><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Symbol;color:#1F497D'><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>·<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'> </span></span></span><![endif]><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>We closed with a nice ‘talking stick’ closing circle with warm reactions. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>So probably I did not do it all by the book, but still I look back to a great event and am looking forward to try again ;-)<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Again: thank you all for sharing your thoughts on signing up earlier.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Best regards, Rob <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0cm 0cm 0cm'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>Van:</span></b><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> oslist-bounces@lists.openspacetech.org [mailto:oslist-bounces@lists.openspacetech.org] <b>Namens </b>Rob van der Eyden<br><b>Verzonden</b></span><b><span lang=NL style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>:</span></b><span lang=NL style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> dinsdag 8 november 2011 21:30<br><b>Aan:</b> 'World wide Open Space Technology email list'<br><b>Onderwerp:</b> Re: [OSList] Signing up for sessions<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=NL><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Wow!
