Peggy - I forget what your largest may have been? Michael P - was it 2108? Christine Whitney Sanchez - your largest? I name these folks because I am trying to recall who are my OSLIST colleagues who have done this sort of large-group OS…</div><div><br></div><div>One thing I learned quite a bit from was the collective work done by Christine Whitney Sanchez, Gabriel Shirley and other amazing folks at the 51st Girl Scout Congress - how to weave dialogue (of various forms - different processes with different groups / amounts of people for different specific reasons) into an 11,000 person event. I was *so* honored to be on that team, doing among other things an Open Space meeting of I think it may have been 780 people. Verbal dialogue, internal dialogue… Open Space, World Cafe, story looms...lovely stuff. Such rich learning, in the pre-work, in the conference, and upon reflection…</div><div><br></div><div>I don’t know how many people Kai Degner (then the mayor of Harrisonburg - yes - Harrison…burg... Virginia… ) had participating in his city-wide OS forums…</div><div><br></div><div>Lisa</div><div><br><div><div>On Sep 23, 2014, at 11:50 AM, Harold Shinsato <<a href="mailto:harold@SHINSATO.COM">harold@SHINSATO.COM</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite">

Hi OSList,<br>
<br>
Raffi's email below triggered complaints from Google about Raffi's
"Unauthenticated email from <a href="http://yahoo.com">yahoo.com</a>" that unsubscribed at least
130 gmail and googlemail addresses from the OSList. I've never seen
a problem like this in all the years I've been managing the OSList.
Hopefully it is resolved. I think I've added you all back. But it
seems Raffi's email didn't make it through to the non google people
as well.<br>
<br>
Raffi asked me to resend it. Hopefully this will go through.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Harold<br>
