Yes, asking Gabriela is a good idea. She is on this list, but not a
frequent writer.<br><br>
Open Space Online can host up to 125 participants at a time.<br><br>
I have participated in it, but that was at its early stages, a number of
years ago. So maybe it has evolved.<br><br>
It is a great piece of work, but I felt at that time it was overorganized
and too tightly structured and therefore I did not like working with it.
Maybe it has to do with the German culture, which is more formal and much
more structured than ours.<br><br>
My suggestion for the development of Maestro would be that it would
provide just enough structure, but not too much. I always keep Harrison's
admonishment in mind: everytime you do Open Space, try to leave something
out untill you have it down to its essence.<br><br>
And of course my offer to contribute still stands. I would like to be
part of the Fall event.<br><br>

Never having been a sponsor – only a participant – I really don’t know.
But I would be pretty sure that OpenSpace-online comes fully equipped,
soup to nuts. Why don’t you ask Gabriela?<br>

Not clear how to access Open Space On-Line? I followed the link
below and saw an introduction page. What does it cost to use it?
Does it have a dashboard for convener/conductor? <br>

As a sometime user, and long time supporter of Gabriela’s online creation
I second Lisa’s words. Gabriela and her folks have done a remarkable
thing and it really works. The only difficulty I ever encountered was the
limitation on the number of participants. As I recall it maxed out with
something like 50, or maybe 100. But numbers aside it is the real deal
and sets a very high standard. Could it be better? Of course, and that is
the challenge. Have fun!<br>

Hi, all.<br>
<br>
I may or may not be able to join with you in this endeavor so just in
case I am not able to:<br>
<br>
You mention who to include...<br>
<br>
Gabriela Ender is the pioneer of virtual Open Space: creator of
OpenSpace-Online.<br>
Not only was this designed (in 1999) and field tested (and has been
evolving since) with the help of the worldwide Open Space community, but
it carefully and thoughtfully re-creates the depth, phases, physical
spaces and ways people use and move about in a face-to-face full-form
Open Space event. <br>
Indeed - among other great uses - it has been used to host virtual OS
events after several of our face-to-face World Open Space events.<br>
<br>
I would think it useful and important to learn from her rich knowledge
and experience and ensure that we are not replicating something that
already exists, no?<br>
At the same time as we salute new creations?<br>
<br>
I guess it is great to have similar tools (more kinds of pencils with
which to draw, no?) but I would think it a great idea to learn from
Gabriela and the first amazing pencil, no?<br>
<br>
And I also bow to Nancy White, a true innovator in facilitating online
meetings and engagement since the early years... also of the Open Space
community...<br>
<br>
It is great to see your passion and enthusiasm Brian and Suzanne and have
a great time figuring it all out everyone!<br>
<br>

Exciting to imagine! A virtual interface specifically geared to Open
Space. Brian Burt, CEO and Founder of MaestroConference, and I were on
the phone for about 30 minutes this afternoon. It was a “jump right
in” kinda conversation with lots of give and take. No doubt about
it, MaestroConference has been giving this some thought and Brian Burt
knows the process, principles and language of Open Space.<br><br>
In some cases their technology is there and stuff could happen right
away; other things need to be figured out and then of course, you can’t
totally replicate an in-person experience of Open Space so a hybrid
virtual adaptation would need to be developed.<br><br>
We talked about the big picture of a Virtual Open Space Social Webinar
platform that would allow hundreds and even thousands of people to
participate. We also discussed some of the challenges; for example: “can
you really have a virtual conversation with 50 people on-line engaged in
one topic or would we need to break into smaller groups” and “how could
we manage a post-it board with time and place”. <br><br>
Brian’s plan, along with other folks at Maestro Conference, is to host a
<b>Virtual Open Visioning Event</b> this Fall inviting lots of people (it
would be terrific if many joined) from the Open Space community and folks
in the technology world (major users of Open Space) to engage in working
conversations around the interface, the implementation, the applications
of where and how a virtual OS could be used, the invitation process and
so much more.<br><br>
What I was able to convey to Brian is that there are many practitioners
in this worldwide OS community, including the OSI US Board, who are
interested and excited about having a virtual Open Space platform. I’ll
be the first to say that I’m not the expert (nor the leader) in that
regard but I certainly have the passion and am willing to roll up my
sleeves with others to help make it happen. <br><br>
At Brian’s request, I’ve agreed to lend a hand if people want to advise
off list that they are interested, feel free to email me. You can also do
it publicly on the OS list and I’ll keep track. MaestroConference is also
interested in knowing if anyone has people they’d recommend who should be
invited to the Fall Event.<br><br>
In anticipation of the Virtual Open Visioning Event being planned,
perhaps we can continue the conversations on our OS list sharing what we
would hope to see, what questions we have, how we may want to contribute
to this effort. My specific interest related to the virtual
technology is having the ability to host post-events after a face-to-face
Open Space, continuing the conversations and driving some of the actions
and initiatives that participants identified.<br><br>
An early Call to Action that may help
<a href="http://maestroconference.com/">Maestro Conference</a> in their
planning! What do y'all think? <br><br>
