</span>I fully agree with your statement that (part of) what I wrote is"
like a pathologist reporting the conditions of dead of the University" ;-)
<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span></div><div style="margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And, in a short period - some more months - I will be in a
situation where I will do that much more often and clearly…<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span></div><div style="margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But I also mentioned that most of other conferences and events, in
companies and even civic movements, have exactly the same conditions. So we are
not only talking about the death of the University, but about the death of a
highly engrained human paradigm (the 2 century old industrial and capitalist paradigm).
And this implies, to use the term I have used here many years ago, a metanoic
process.</span><o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;"><span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;"><span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">OST and other OST-like
ways of meeting (like unconfences in general) will have an important role.</span>
Why do you think that I am still on this list, after 15 years, and have not
departed to other more teachable and certifiable (and, hence, sellable) ways,
be them more or less genuine or will accept that doing OST is as good as other
arts of hosting?</span><o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;"><span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br>

I guess I have said that before, but I’ll say it again! And – I couldn’t help but smile as I read your note. I know that you were being very serious... but as I read along I couldn’t help but think that major parts of what you wrote might be found a few years hence carved on a monument to Academe, acknowledging its passing from the scene. Then I smiled again when I thought that actually what you wrote read much more like a Pathologist’s report detailing the causes and conditions of death. From where I sit, real learning, real knowledge generation absolutely requires space... the kind of space created by deep questions combined with the presence to sit with those questions and savor the non-knowing.

Some years ago took place in my campus of my University a (more or less) annual conference
of the "College of Computer Engineering" of the "Portuguese Engineers Association" (Ordem dos Engenheiros - OE). I have been invited to conduct a big part of the one and an half day event in OST. I was even made a member of the Organizing Committee (OC) for that purpose. It must be said that, in the mentioned College, the members are in their large majority academics and not (real) computer engineering professionals. The idea was to profit from the fact that the event was held at an University and with a friendly methodology to try to have students and young engineers to joint the event and the OE. But with the composition of the college board (5 academics and one professional) I could not convince the OC to do all the event in OST and had to accept that the first morning was composed of presentations. In a first moment 3 presentations were though but than it came to 6 because "if we invite the University of XXX, we also have to invite someone
from the University of YYY... You know that game.</span></div></div><div><div class="yiv5391111030MsoNormal" style="background:white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; color: black;"><br><br></span></div></div><div><div class="yiv5391111030MsoNormal" style="background:white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; color: black;">6 presentations by Professors in one morning is something that will never interest young professionals, so the attendants were mainly Professors and their students - and some old professionals too. Myself I attended two presentations and then went for a nap in my office. Anyhow, the dynamics of the all event was already corrupted. The OST event (one afternoon followed by one morning) was considered a success, but I was not very happy (there are photos of the event at the NING).</span></div></div><div><div class="yiv5391111030MsoNormal" style="background:white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,
sans-serif; color: black;"> </span></div></div><div><div class="yiv5391111030MsoNormal" style="background:white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; color: black;">2. On the other hand, during the years I have attended a lot of professional, academic and civic conferences and meetings and it is always the same. In each part, 3 or 4 presentations by "specialist" (that almost never respected the schedule) and a very small amount of time for dialog (indeed questions and answers) that shrinks with the retard of each presenter and, in some cases, ends up not existing at all.</span></div></div><div><div class="yiv5391111030MsoNormal" style="background:white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; color: black;"><br><br></span></div></div><div><div class="yiv5391111030MsoNormal" style="background:white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; color: black;">What is normally planed for each 1,5 hour session is three 20 minutes
presentations followed by 30 minutes questions or debates but it seems that both organizers and speakers have "horror of emptiness” (the void) – “and, what will happen, if no one asks a question?”, so they fill the void with more words.</span></div></div><div><div class="yiv5391111030MsoNormal" style="background:white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; color: black;"> </span></div></div><div><div class="yiv5391111030MsoNormal" style="background:white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; color: black;">The interesting part is that those organizers and presenters are often the ones that say that we now live in a "knowledge society", and that "all problems being complex, we need interdisciplinary thinking", but then forget that people more knowledgeable than the presenter are often in the audience, and often a multidisciplinary audience is in front of them. </span></div></div><div><div
class="yiv5391111030MsoNormal" style="background:white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; color: black;"><br><br></span></div></div><div><div class="yiv5391111030MsoNormal" style="background:white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; color: black;">3. Many unconference methods have appeared in the last years, the majority of them having some similarities with OST, and at least respecting the OS spirit, if not the letter of OST. When we compare this with the traditional conferences the unconferences are, indeed, much more OPEN than the traditional ones.</span></div></div><div><div class="yiv5391111030MsoNormal" style="background:white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; color: black;"> </span></div></div><div><div class="yiv5391111030MsoNormal" style="background:white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; color: black;">4. I remember reading Harrison, more that once, tell us that he anticipates a
future where no one will talk anymore about open space technology, because open space will be the normal way of doing meetings and conferences. I also believe in that. But I am almost sure that those unconferences will be something that the elders will say that "it is similar to OST, but it is not OST" or even "it is not even similar to OST". And that is true and, for one, I am glad with that. As any other living thing, OST will evolve in the Universal Open Space (or the void) and it will become something different. If it is more open and less controlled by some authorities (political, academic, or OST-ortodoxes), than I will be happy with that.</span></div></div><div><div class="yiv5391111030MsoNormal" style="background:white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; color: black;"> </span></div></div><div><div class="yiv5391111030MsoNormal" style="background:white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; color: black;">5. Indeed I
am planning to propose in the near future to some civic and professional organizations, to stop doing conferences, and begin doing unconferences with a model that is similar to the one that Peggy mentioned. People can prepare papers and or presentations but there is no guaranty that they will be accepted. There will not be a revision by their peers (that often have lobby relations between them - and, from the references in each paper, one can almost always discover where a paper comes from), but will be decided "by the crowd" in an "OS way": a circle, a bulletin board, sessions announced and the ones choosen will take place - and lets go to work. The speakers will be allowed to make a short presentation (15 to 20 minutes is more than enough - and, by large, much more than enough when the presentation is boring) and, in each hour, the rest of the time is for real dialog between the participants, the presenter having no special role in
that.</span></div></div><div><div class="yiv5391111030MsoNormal" style="background:white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; color: black;"><br><br></span></div></div><div><div class="yiv5391111030MsoNormal" style="background:white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; color: black;">6. I have not yet come out with a division of time like the one of this Conference (18+42+30) - and I am not even convinced that an "action period" is justified in all cases - but I know from experience that if one says to a presenter that he/she may have 20 minutes he/she thinks that it means “<b>not more that 30 minutes</b>” and will often continue speaking until someone call him/her to order.
